Chapter14: Something to Tell

Summary: Sebastian goes to visit Kathryn and convince her to leave. Will she listen


Blain Tuttle had a very busy day ahead of him and woke up early to tackle all the errands he had to do. So it was a minor annoyance when he heard his phone ringing. Glancing at his caller id, he sighed when he saw the number. Sebastian was calling him, and Blain knew it was not just to chat. Blain toyed with the idea of not answering, but Sebastian was his best friend and he always was there for him. So reluctantly Blain answered the phone and was sorry he did, when he heard what Sebastian asked of him.

"Look Sebastian I am good, but not that good." Blain protested. Blain didn't even know why he was wasting his breath, Sebastian only heard what he wanted to hear.

"Blain you have to. You are my only hope, and I don't have much time to waste." Sebastian argued. God why did Blain have to give him such a hard time?

"Sebastian first you have to tell me why." Blain argued back. He had a vague idea why, but he wanted Sebastian to say it. Hell if he was gonna blow off his whole day to help Sebastian then he needed all the reasoning he could get.

"God damnit." Sebastian exploded at Blain. "Why do you have to be so diffuclt?" Sebastian demanded."You want to hear why? Sebastian demanded. "Because I need to help Kathryn, I love her!"

Blain was satisfied. He always knew that Kathryn and Sebastian had feelings for each other, but it took forever for them to admit anything to each other. "Ok I heard what I needed to. I'm on top of it." Blain told Sebastian.

Sebastian slammed down the phone. God damn him! Sebastian was in no mood to be played with. Through some contacts of his Father, he learned that Tiffany was planning to meet with the board of directors concerning Kathryn's trust from her father. Sebastian didn't need to guess what Tiffany had planned, so Sebastian had to reach Kathryn and hopefully convince her what her Mother was up to. Only he was hoping that Kathryn wanted to listen to him.

*********************

Kathryn was sitting in front of the television in the drab rec room when an orderly came in the room. At first Kathryn didn't pay him any attention, why should she? The dumb orderly was nobody.

"Kathryn you have a visitor." The orderly informed Kathryn.

A visitor? Her mother barely called her, so who could be visiting her? "Who is it?" Kathryn asked.

The orderly glanced at a peice of paper before answering. "Your Mother's assistiant."

Her mother finally came through! Kathyrn knew that her mother would come to her senses and finally understand that Kathryn didn't belong here! Kathryn quickly got to her feet and followed the orderly. Her joy was shortlived though when she walked into the visitor's lounge. There sitting ona vinyl chair was Sebastian!

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Kathryn demanded angrily. Bad enough he lied about who he was and got her hopes up, but he had the nerve to visit her after what he did?

Sebastian wasn't suprised about Kathryn's angry greeting. He knew his work was cut out for him, only he hoped he could reason with Kathryn before someone tipped off the hospital staff that he wasn't who he said he was.

"Look Kathryn I know you're upset with me, but you have to listen to me." Sebastian began calmly.

"Listen to you?" Kathryn asked in a ferocius whisper. "Why so you can spill everything in that damn journal of yours?"

Sebastian looked around before answering. The orderly was giving them a very sucpiscous look and Sebastian didn't want to further draw attention to himself. "Look never mind that. Just check yourself out and I will explain everything."

"You talked to my Mother?" Kathryn asked doubtfully. What the fuck was going on here?

"Kind of." Sebastian stalled. God he didn't want to tell her here. He wanted her out and then he was gonna spill the news.

"Well is she gonna cut me off or not?" Kathryn demanded. She wasn't going anywhere until she knew her trust was safe. That trust was all hers when she reached age, and Kathryn wanted every last cent of it!

"Look just get checked out and meet me in the parking lot." Sebastian said.

Kathryn was skeptical, but hell she had no really no choice. What was she gonna do spend the rest of her life here to get fat? "Fine Sebastian, but let me warn you if I get cut off I will fucking kill you!" Kathryn threatned. Her eyes flashed angrily, and Sebastian didn't doubt a single word.

*****************

Sebastian sat in his car and waited for Kathryn. He was getting anxious and prayed noone called Tiffany tip them off. Finally he saw Kathryn walking towards his car, and Sebastian hurried to open the passenger sid for her.

"Did they give you any trouble?" Sebastian asked once Kathryn slid into the passenger side.

"Just some bullshit lecture." Kathryn said and slammed the car door shut. "Give me you cell phone." Kathryn demanded.

"Why?" Sebastian asked.

Kathryn roller her eyes. "So I can call my Mother." Kathryn said impatiently.God was Sebastian being intentionally dumb?

Sebastian took a deep breath. Here it comes. "Why don't you call her later?" Sebastian suggesed and began to start his car.

"I said give me your phone." Kathryn barked at Sebastian. When she got no response Kathryn reached over and pulled Sebastian's car keys out of the ignition.

"C'mon Kathryn knock it off." Sebastian yelled at Kathryn and tried to reach for his car keys. Kathryn held the out the car window.

"Tell me why You don't want me to call my Mother or I will throw the keys away." Kathryn threatened.

Sebastian sighed and stopped reaching for the keys. "Fine Kathryn." Sebastian yelled at Kathryn. She wanted to hear the truth well then he wasn't gonna sugar coat it. "Your mother was planning on letting you rot in there while she planned to get you declared unfit to be in charge of your late father's estate." Sebastian blurted out.

Kathryn sat there still for a few seconds. "You lying bastard." Kathryn hissed at him. She flung his car keys in his face and ran out the car.

Sebastian cursed under his breath and punched the steering wheel. "Kathryn get in." Sebastian called after her.Muttering to him self, Sebastian got out of the car and followed Kathryn outside. He found her leaning against a car. "Kathryn." Sebastian said gently.

"Fuck off." Kathryn yelled at Sebastian. Lying asshole! He would say anything to get her to believe in him again.

"Kathryn will you listen to me." Sebastian ordered in a firm voice. When Kathryn made no move to turn around, Sebastian firmly grabbed her shoulders and turned her around to face him. "Will you listen to me and stop beinng childish! Instead of throwing a tantrum why don't you think about how we could destroy your mother!"

Kathryn looked up at Sebastian. Many times she has seen Sebastian swearing he was telling the truth when he was lying through his teeth. Noone seemed to know the differnce except Kathryn, she was a pro at reading people and very rarely was wrong about people. Looking up in his face, Kathryn knew he was telling the truth. perhaps she knew he was all along, but didn't want to face it. A slow evil grin spread through her face. "So tell me Sebastian what do you have planned?"

Sebastian smiled at the return of the old Kathryn. He returned her evil grin. They were back in business.

**********

When they pulled up to his house he turned and faced Kathryn. "Go in my house I need to check my mail." Sebastian instructed Kathryn.

"Why?" Kathryn demanded. Sebastian struggled to remain calm. Why the hell did Kathryn always have to challenge everything she said? God she was worse then a kid sometimes. "Look just listen to me." Sebastian ordered. Kathryn suprised Sebastian when she didn't argue back. "Fine." Kathryn said and got out of the car.

Sebastin waited until she was out of sight then quickly made his way to his mail box. He told Blain if he succeeded in doing what he aske of him to leave a tape in his mailbox. Sebastian did a quick prayer before openinf his mailbox. Much to his delight inside lay a black video tape. God Blain was good! Sebastian kissed the tape and turned around to leave and was face to face with Kathryn.

"Care telling me why you are making out with a tape?" Kathryn asked in an amused voice.

Sebastian was so happy that he wasn't bothered with Kathryn snooping on him. He gave a suprised Kathryn a face on the mouth before answering. "Baby on this tape is your Mother's downfall." Sebastian said exitedly.

Kathryn was impressed that Sebastian worked so fast. In a way she was regretful that she had to take drastic action against her mother, but the fact that her mother betrayed her so bad couldn't be ignored. "So what's on it?" Kathryn asked.

Sebastian shook his head. "Oh no first I am gonna give you a proper welcome back." Sebastian said.

"Hmm whatever do you have in mind?" Kathryn asked innocently.
