The Truth Hurts

"That's him," Jase looked in the direction of Kathryn's nod and saw a tallish guy laughing and joking with his friends before going over kissing a pretty young blonde girl, the Merteuil snorted, "Slut," at those words Jase nearly choked on his coke, he tried to cover his tracks but noticed that she was glaring at him, "is something funny?"

"No."

"Are you insinuating that I'm a slut?"

"I didn't say that."

"I can't believe you just called me a slut," Jase was about to protest but just shook his head, "I'll have you know that we were dating."

He coughed but Kathryn was positive she heard him say, "First date," underneath his breath but she decided to ignore him, "So what'd you want me to do? Give him a good kicking?"

"That's too good for him," she snarled, unconsciously she leaned onto his chest as he slung an arm over her back, "I want him to suffer, but what we have to do is find out what's important to him," she then smiled as she saw him boasting about his new car. A cruel smile lit up her pretty features, "I think we just found our target."

"You want me to wreck his car?" Jase wasn't very impressed, "that is the worst plan for revenge ever."

She batted his chest lightly, "Don't worry I'm sure that his precious new girlfriend is going to find out that her dear old Court has been cheating on her as well as finding out that he's been dealing drugs, by the looks of her she's a holier than though student," she remembered something, "just like Annette," she growled.

"Who?" he asked not quite hearing her.

"No one, this is what you're going to do," leaning up she started to whisper into his ear as he listened intently the plan started to take shape.

---------------------------------------

"Hey Court," Court Reynolds turned to one of his best friends who'd signaled him, "there's some guy by your car, he looks kinda suspicious."

Turning Court saw a tall guy with black hair and a beautiful, long coat on running his hands along the sides of his car, not trusting this guy Court decided to go over, "Hey," he called but got no response so he continued on his way, "I said hey," stopping behind the guy, he watched as Jase turned around with a smile on his face.

"Nice car, how much did it cost you?"

"About thirty k, why?" Jase shrugged and looked back at the car running his hand along the smooth finish, "hey will you not do that you could scratch the paintwork," his voice was stern and Jase turned back to him.

"What…like this," removing his car keys from his coat he jammed it into the side of the car and dragged it across creating a long silver gash along the side.

Court was in shock and just stared at the gash, however though pretty soon the shock was replaced by anger, "You son of a bitch," swinging Jase ducked under the fist but got caught by the second one.

He watched the rich kid flail his arms around in an attempt to hit Jase and succeeded twice more, but after having enough Jase blocked a swing, then a follow up and pulled him nose first into a crushing headbutt. Court shouted in pain as Jase threw him over the hood of his car and headed away, "See you around Court," he yelled before jumping into his dodge viper and speeding off.

---------------------------------------

"What the hell did you do that for?" Kathryn stated angrily as Jase wiped his bloody nose, "here," leaning over she handed him a tissue before grabbing another one and cleaning up his cut lip, "that was extremely stupid you do realize that he knows karate."

"Well I guess I got lucky then," Jase remarked, "just remind me not to attack him head on again, he's got a pretty hard hit," Kathryn didn't reply and instead kept cleaning his cut, "you actually had sex with that guy?"

"Well…not technically, I went down on him a couple of times before we split up," she replied not really wanting to have this conversation, "now listen once I get the negatives developed I'll send them to Courts girlfriends house, at two a.m. tonight I want you to plant drugs in his house."

"That sounds pretty simple apart from the fact that he's probably got an alarm system," Jase said snidely.

"The numbers are 15/03/82, the same as his birthday," Jase stared at her, "what? We dated. Anyway there's a balcony, if you can somehow get up there and then there's a window, Court always leaves it unlocked because his room heats up in the night so sneak through the room and into the hall, the security box is on the wall to your left."

"Ok, I can probably do that," Jase glanced from his driving back to her, "where do you want me to put the drugs?"

Kathryn smiled, "In his schoolbag and under his bed, if the police come into the house then they're bound to find them, also put some in the bathroom and the breadbox in the kitchen, you then reset the alarm get out of the house and blow the car, understood?"

"I got it," they continued driving but Kathryn tapped him on the shoulder, "what?"

"Stop here," he slowed the car down and swung it into a parking space.

"You ok?" Kathryn had been staring out of the window and continued before turning back to Jase, he could see tears forming in her eyes, "oh hey come here."

Sobbing Kathryn grabbed hold of her student and held onto him, "I didn't mean for it to happen," she cried into his chest.

Jase had no idea what she was talking about but responded anyway, "I know you didn't honey," he decided to go for a gamble, "it wasn't your fault."

She pulled away sharply anger etched onto her face, "How would you know," she spat out at him.

"I don't," he replied, she looked away from him and back out of the window, "Kathryn…what's the matter," she didn't reply, "tell me."

Turning back to face him she nodded, "Alright, but some of the things I tell you you're not going to like but please just listen until I finish okay?" he nodded, "well it all started just before I moved to L.A……"
