Something had been bothering me all day since Blair left my place after the incident with Dan Humphrey. I couldn't get rid of this nagging feeling in my gut that my ex was not telling me something about my Uncle. How had she known where he was last summer and more importantly why had she known? Jack Bass was the root of most of the problems between her and me. We had never been the same after the hotel incident and knowing that Blair had known where he was did not sit well with me for some reason. Whenever Jack Bass was brought up in a conversation it could never end well.

I had known since my father died that my Uncle had some strange fascination with Blair. He'd always had a thing for strong independent women and Blair Waldorf had always been a strong and independent woman. Jack also always desired what he could not have and since Blair had always been mine it made sense he would want her. Part of me would admit that since I was no longer dating Blair I worried that Jack may make a move on her. Blair always claimed to hate him and stated he was a vile and disgusting creature, but she had said the exact same things about me for years and we had ended up together. Since I still cared about what happened to her and would do anything to make sure my Uncle did not get anything he wanted, I decided I would have to talk to her to figure out what the hell was going on.

When I finally made it to Blair's party the first thing I did was look for her. I wouldn't cause a scene if I did not have to, but I had to know. I found her talking to a couple of her mother's friends and I looked over her outfit. The dark red floor length gown did wonders for her figure. I had always loved her in the color red because in ancient Greece red symbolized sin and everyone knows Chuck Bass loves to sin. I realized after looking at the dress she was wearing that the shirt under my jacket was the exact same color. I found it funny since Blair used to coordinate our outfits to match when we were dating and here we were not even trying and yet we still matched. Her chestnut brown waves flowed down her back which was a good thing considering her neck was like my kryptonite. I had a thing for a woman with a slender throat and nice collarbones. As it was I was already having a hard time not reaching out to caress her bare arms. I suppose the old saying about old habits dying hard was true.

"You look lovely tonight." I told her doing my best to start a conversation. I did not want to just blurt out all my questions about Jack and so I had to try and have a civil conversation with Blair and that was not going to be easy. I kept glancing around and rubbing my hands together as a way to avoid looking at her for very long. "It's so cold in here I can barely feel my fingers."

"Cold? I'm practically feverish. I must tell Dorota to turn up the air." She went to walk past me, but I stopped her.

I could she wanted to get as far away from as possible and if she managed to it then I may not find her again for the rest of the night. If Blair did not want to be found then she could do it without a problem. That used to be one of the many games we used to play. She would hide somewhere and I had to find her if I wanted to collect my reward. Usually the game ended when she went looking for me if I happened to be taking too long. My ex always had been impatient when it came to certain things, not that I had minded one bit at times such as that.

"Just one thing before you go." I waited until she paused to look me in the eye. I had been hoping she would do that since she never could lie to me if I was holding her gaze. Of course she would try to lie, but I always knew the difference between the truth and something she fabricated. "I was wondering, how did you know where Jack was?"

Blair never wavered in her gaze, though I did see her eyes shift slightly to the left. Whatever she was about to tell me would not be one hundred percent truth. "I think I must have read it online."

"That's strange," I replied locking my jaw in irritation. I hated it when someone tried to get the best of me and by lying to my face Blair was doing exactly that. If she had nothing to hide then why lie about it? Maybe my earlier suspicions about her and my sleazy Uncle were not too far off the mark. "Last I heard he was off the grid."

I always had my eye on his whereabouts because he couldn't be trusted. I had a private eye tailing him all the time to keep me informed on what he was up to. One never could be too careful when it came to a Bass and I knew this better than anyone considering I was a Bass. The reason I knew the ex-love of my life to be lying was because Jack usually tried to stay off the radar. He liked to do is dirty work without having to worry about anyone watching. He probably knew I had someone following him and I had no doubt he had someone watching me so that he would be able to swoop in at what he considered a weak moment and take me down. It is just the way he worked.

Blair shot me one of her forced smiles as she stepped around me. Apparently she'd had enough of this conversation were as I had just begun to find it interesting. "If you'll excuse me I am entertaining."

I did not bother to try and stop her. My mind had a million different thoughts running through it at the moment. If Blair and my Uncle were not sleeping together did that mean they were working together on something? If it had not been for the treaty I may think they were plotting my downfall, but even Blair was not that desperate. There had to be another explanation and I was going to find out what it was. Usually I would manipulate the information out of the only daughter of Eleanor Waldorf, but my techniques for manipulating the information out of her were not welcome as of right now. It looks as if I would have to get the truth another way.

If Blair was working with my Uncle or even worse, secretly seeing him then she would have told either Nate or Serena. I would simply have to find one of them and get the truth that way. I would find Nathaniel first since he would be the one person I wouldn't have to pry the information from, that is if he knew anything to begin with. Nate was my best friend and like a brother to me. If he knew anything then he would tell me as long as I promised not to use the information against Blair and since we had a treaty that was not something he would have to worry about. Taking a deep breath I headed off to find Nate and hopefully to get some answers.

AN: So I had completely forgotten about this scene in the episode until I was watching it again so I could write this story better. That means the next chapter will be the last since the last scene with them is going to be a rated M one-shot. Oh, someone asked in a review if I was just taking the scene from the show and writing it out. I couldn't reply personally because they did not sign in so I hope they are reading this now. Yes I am rewriting the scenes in Chuck's POV. I am working on an original story, but doing these type of stories and one-shots helped me get in to the characters so I could write them right and do them justice. Anyways, I hope that you all liked this chapter.

Please R&R like always!
