Dangerous Liasons, Chapter 6 (Julian's Mission)
by Jaresa



Chapter Six

Julian met Jared in the library. Jared sat behind the desk.

“I’ll need the access codes for this computer.” Jared looked up. Julian was suspicious. Jared smiled.

“Or I can hack my way in. That takes longer. You do love this woman, right?” Julian gave him what he needed. If he was being taken for a ride he did not care. He had to find her.

“Has she contacted you at all?” Julian remembered and nodded yes.

“Pull the number from your call list. If it was blocked I will find it but I need the exact time.” Jared continued typing. “Who is your carrier?” Julian gave him the necessary info then watched as he made a call.

“Hey I’ll be needing that favor.” He asked a former colleague.

“I need an ID so that I can get access in to Seamless Wireless’ network.” He waited. “You are the best at what you do guru.” He smiled hanging up. He continued typing as Julian paced.

“Ok Jules. You are on your own. I have the location of the phone that contacted you but it has moved several times. I have the id and can load the tracking program onto your GPS. You must be careful because if you tip them off they will ditch the phone.” Jared stood.

“I need that program loaded on several cars as well.” Julian said.

“Give me the name of your carrier. That will make it easier. It will only take a few minutes.”

“Global tracking.” Julian replied.

“Ok it will be done in 5. Please send Ethan in.” Julian walked out.


Ethan was not happy to be questioned about his intentions with Crane. Sure he had every right to Crane fortune as Julian. He was raised a Crane.

“What do you want?”

“Ethan you interest me. You grew up as a Crane. I don’t know how you do it. One day you have it all and the next you are one step above lackey. What I want, however, is for you to give me all of the information on classified Crane business. Do you recall any cases where you were told to keep it secret? Were there times when you had to question motives or actions of Julian or Alistair?” Jared asked.

“Do you need me to go slow?” Jared asked in a slow pace.

“When I was to be Crane heir there were things that I was not privy to. It was an earned right. So if there was classified information or underhanded dealings I was kept away from it. My mother raised me to be unlike the Crane men. I don’t know anything.” Ethan answered. “Is that quick enough detective?”

“Not really but in any case, do you know who would want to hurt Mrs. Crane or the empire that she wishes to protect?”

“No, besides I would never go after Theresa.” Ethan stood and walked out with out being dismissed.

“No you just bed her every chance you get behind your wife’s back. Public enemy number one. I need to watch her a little more closely first. Let Ethan coach her a little. One or both of them are involved and a little coaching can go a long way.” Jared thought as a little boy happened upon him.

“What are you doing in my father’s library?” He rubbed his eyes. He wasn’t scared. He did not yell. He was quite calm.

“I am trying to help your family.” Jared said coolly.

“How?” He quizzed.

“By protecting you all from mean people.”

“You mean bad guys.” Jared smiled.

“Yes I fight the bad guys.” The boy smiled.

“So do I. I have night vision and super powers.”

“What is your super name.” Jared chuckled.

“Batman.”

“Batman does not have super powers. Batman is just a regular man who trained himself to do super things. So it appears he has powers but he doesn’t. He has a lot of toys that help along the way though. Like night vision goggles.” Jared informed.

“Wow you know a lot about batman.” LE exclaimed.

“Listen kid, no matter how brave you are. You should never talk to strangers. I could have been one of the bad guys. In any case Batman, I am Jared Casey AKA Spiderman. Don’t tell anyone though ok? Let’s try to find your mommy in this big Netherland ranch.” They ran into Theresa at the end of the hall.

“There you are. You scared me half to death. What do you mean wandering off like that and talking to strangers?”

“He is not a stranger. He is spiderman. I am Batman. We are going to join forces like super friends.” LE grinned.

“Jeez what did I do? I don’t need to make a kid friend. I am not the pacifier.” Jared thought. He was a comic book fan. He liked the boy. He did not care for his mother. He did not understand how she gave birth to such a noble son.

“I am thirsty mommy. I called Alice but she never came.” Theresa looked shocked.

“Hold his hand and you both stay behind me.” They obeyed.
