Chapter 6
Closer To The Truth Than You Think.
A/N: This Chapter is mainly a fill chapter meaning a lot of the things to come will have something to do with it, take it as whatever you want it to mean. My lips are sealed. Ok, enough from me, I'll let you get to reading. Jess ;)
"Hey.", Sam greeted.
"Hey, so how's your second day going ?", Fox asked.
"Slow, I've messed up everything, first I spilled coffee on Mr. Crane, then I tore Ms. Hotchkiss's dress, then I tripped and fell down the stairs luckily for me I only fell down two stairs.", Sam replied.
"First off, I'm sure Julian has had worst done to him, secondly, I'd loved to have been there to see Rebecca's reaction, and lastly, take your time Julian hired you to take of him, not for him to take care of you.", Fox replied.
"Funny, so where's Theresa ?", Sam asked.
"Out with Whit.", Fox replied.
"Oh, so what brings you to this hell hole ?", Sam asked.
"I came by to see Julian.", Fox replied. "Is he in ?"
"Should be.", Sam replied. "I'll go get him."
"Thanks.", Fox replied as she walked into the library.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mr. Crane, Fox is here shall I send him in ?", Sam asked.
"Yes and for the hundredth time call me Julian.", Julian replied.
"Yes, sir.", Sam replied.
"Go on in.", Sam replied walking in to the living room area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Father, I came to talk to you about running Crane Records.", Fox said simply.
"Ok, but, I thought Chad Harris was in charge of that ?", Julian asked.
Was, key word there, he and Whitney have purchased their own record company.", Fox replied. "And since Theresa, Kat and I know a lot about the business, that we should take over."
"Have you three talked it over ?", Julian asked.
"No, but, I'm sure they'd help.", Fox replied. "Besides if they don't I can still do it on my own."
"Are you sure, that's a lot of work.", Julian replied.
"And I can do it, how hard can it be ?", Fox asked.
"Ok, you're in charge.", Julian replied.
"Thanks, pops you won't regret it.", Fox replied.
"I hope I don't.", Julian replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, Sam, is Julian around ?", Kathelina asked.
"Yep, do you want me to tell him your hear ?", Sam asked.
"No, I'll just mosey on in there and see what illegal thing my family planning now.", Kathelina replied.
"Hey, what's up?", Kathelina asked walking in.
"Kat, how you fell about help me run Crane Record's ?", Fox asked.
"That's Cool, but, Chad runs it.", Kathelina replied.
"Not no more, he and Whit opened up their own company so, I've officially took over as of 5 minutes ago.", Fox replied.
"That's great and be sure to count me in, I would love to help.", Kathelina replied.
"Thank you.", Fox replied.
"You're welcome.", Kathelina.
"Katherine, what do you need ?", Julian asked.
"I know this may sound crazy but, I think Ethan's Alive.", Kathelina replied.
"Ethan's Alive ?", Fox asked. "As in, faked his death, is free to try to kill me again ?"
"Calm down.", Julian replied. "Katherine, what makes you say that ?"
"I don't know, I've always thought that Alistair knew something about Ethan's death, something he didn't say.", Kathelina replied.
"Like what ?", Fox asked.
"I don't know, but, me and Dylan was talking last night after we got back from dinner and well, didn't you see how Alistair acted all sympathetic ?", Kathelina asked.
"Yeah, well grandfather, loved Ethan as if he was his own grandchild.", Fox replied.
"You don't get it, Alistair would never show that much sympathy for no one, especially a Bennett.", Kathelina replied.
"That's just it, biologically, yes Ethan was a Bennett but, in Alistair's eyes Ethan was a Crane always was and will always be.", Fox replied.
"My point exactly.", Kathelina replied. "Alistair would bend over backwards to protect his own."
"I'm not following you ?", Fox replied.
"Alistair would do anything for Ethan, including helping fake his own death.", Kathelina explained.
"Just like he did for Theresa ?", Fox asked.
"Yep, and I'm sure he has done the same for Ethan.", Kathelina replied.
"But, Katherine we saw Ethan be buried, we saw them sprinkle dirt over the coffin.", Julian interrupted.
"Yeah, but, Ethan's coffin wasn't open during the funeral services, the wake yes, the funeral no.", Kathelina replied. "Who knows the coffin may have been empty or had a fake body or perhaps another body."
"Well, how would we go about finding out, Ivy isn't going to allow an autopsy and father will abject to.", Julian replied. "And besides, I'm not family."
"But, me and Fox are, so we could have a autopsy without Ivy and Sam consent.", Kathelina replied.
"True, but I don't think that would be necessary.", Fox replied. "We all saw Ethan's coffin get lowered into the ground."
"What, one minute you're all for reassuming the body and the next your saying he's dead, so let him be.", Kathelina asked.
"Exactly.", Fox replied.
"Ok, whatever.", Kathelina replied storming out.
"Like she said 'What's up with you ?', One minute your all for it and the next your, your not.", Julian asked.
"Julian, he's dead let him be, I caused him enough pain in life, why not let him rest in peace ?", Fox replied.
"Ok, I agree, but I just hope Katherine isn't right.", Julian replied.
