The Spider's Lair-Chapter 3

Chapter 3



Tony Jones opened his closet. He looked into a box that he kept in the far corner and pulled it out. He sat on the floor as he opened out the contents on the floor. It was a series of toys for Lucas. He would watch cartoons for awhile each afternoon, trying to asertain which are the new hot toys that a boy of Lucas’ age would like. But, Tony had another reason. When he first started this...buying children’s toys was the closest that he thought he would ever get to his son.

But, tomorrow was the custody hearing. And, he knew that his efforts: the community service, the getting of his job back. The climb back to ‘respectable’ life...he had done it all. And, tomorrow, he knew that he would be rewarded with visitation with his son. The drips that Bobbie had been giving him were OK, but, he wanted and needed something legal that she couldn’t take away on a whim.

Tony pulled out the new baseball glove that he had gotten for Lucas and took it to bed with him.

Tomorrow......he thought.

" Murder? Did you say murder?", Alexis asked Jax. She motioned him into her hotel room and they all sat down.

" Yes."

" Who?"

" Dr. Franklin."

" The doctor in New Mexico? You’re wrong. I just spoke with her this afternoon."

" She’s dead, Alexis. Very dead. "

" How?"

" Car accident."

" How do you know?"

" Because, the only thing with a clear phone number on it was my card that had flown away from the crash site and was lying on the ground."

" How do you know it wasn’t an accident, Jax?"

" She was driving a brand new car, less than a month old, that topped the Consumer’s Report for auto safety, and the brakeline didn’t look right...this isn’t me talking...this is the detective that spoke to me. He said that it ‘looked’ like an accident, but that the brakeline was altered in such a way that it could go either way."

" Well, then, it could have been an accident.", Alexis said, trying to convince herself and others.

" Jax, do they know anything else?", Ned asks.

" No. She was burned to a crisp....and, a funny thing happened also tonight.."

" What?", Alexis asks meekly.

" Her place of business was burglarized. There isn’t a computer disk to be found."

Alexis goes weak at the knees and Ned has to steady her. " Oh, my God. I did it again. I got ANOTHER person murdered."

" Alexis, don’t say that.", Ned offered.

" Come on, Ned. That’s what we’re all thinking."

" Alexis, where is the disk."

" I went to Wyndemere to give it to Stefan....Stefan!"

" You better contact him.", Jax said while Alexis was on her way to the phone anyway. She tried the number once. then twice. then three times. She looked back at Ned and Jax with a frightened look.

" Alexis?", Ned asked.

" I tried Stefan’s cellphone. I got some recorded message about it being out of range."

" Well, that’s not so strange. You said Stefan was at some country house. You’ll call him first thing tomorrow morning. But, now, I need to use the phone.", Ned said.

" For what?", Jax inquired.

" To call ELQ security and get some men over here. If a move is being made, I want Alexis safe."

Jason Morgan felt the cold water cascade down his body. This had become a routine lately. He woke up from the same dream, drenched in sweat.

He was a man completely confused about his life. What the hell was going on here. Why can’t he get the dream out of his mind.

The same one.

He was asleep in his bed when he hears a slamming of the Penthouse door. He goes downstairs to see a crying Carly.

" What’s wrong?"

" Jason. I love you and I’m married to AJ. What the hell do you think is wrong with me?"

" Didn’t I tell you that I wanted you to ditch this stupid plan?"

" Yeah. Of course, you did. But, Jase...I just want us to be together."

Jason stands there looking at Carly. As the silence continues, Carly’s anger grows.

" You know, I’m sick of this, Jase. I want us to be together. What the hell do you want? Do you even know? WHY do you not say anything. WHAT AM I TO YOU?", Carly screams. She picks up her purse and goes towards the door. She gets the door open, but, Jason slams it. Carly turns around, fierce with anger, nostrils flaring. Then, she just shakes her head, lets out a sigh, and gives that nervous laugh.

Before Jason knows it, his mouth is on hers. It’s the sweetest thing he’s ever tasted. Carly opens her mouth and her tongue is upon his. They begin to duel. His hands entwine into her hair. It’s as if he’s forcing her even closer to him, if that were even possible. They finally come up for air, and Carly has this dazed look as if it couldn’t possibly be happening.

But, Jason has no use for words or conversation. Carly has on a tight blouse, that accentuates all the amenities God bestowed upon her. His first urge is to break open the blouse with his teeth, but, a streak of sadism overcomes Jason, and he begins to unbutton them, one by one. So slow that Carly begins to moan, but, isn’t completley helpless for while Jason is doing this, Carly slips her hands down to the snap of Jason’s jeans. She pops it open and before Jason could say anything, Carly’s hands were down to where his arousal was already bursting to get out.

Jason got her blouse off and of course, Carly had a bra on that supported her assets. He lowered his mouth to them, one by one, feeling them through the silky material. The combination of Carly’s skin and the silk was driving him crazy. That, and what Carly’s expert hands were doing below.

Jason reached underneath to Carly’s skirt, and ripped away her panties to find that she was already soaking wet. Jason had to say nothing. Carly’s limber body was very receptive to Jason and the fulfillment of the fantasies of so many nights. She took her right leg and somehow wrapped it around Jason, pulling down his jeans and boxers in one smooth motion. In less than a moment, Jason was inside of her. They began the mating ritual that had been between man and woman since the beginning of time. Jason was thrusting in and out and Carly was contortioning everything to get him as deep inside as possible.

They moved together, in concert, with lust and passion filling the air. They are in together, pumping and grinding....making their own music. The moans and the grunts get louder and louder. Jason is slamming Carly against the door and she was slamming back. Jason and Carly get louder and louder...they are coming to their mutual climax and Jason feels like he’s going to explode. He’s on the brink of his release..of giving everything to Carly...he opens his eyes at that moment and looks directly into Carly’s face. Her eyes have only one thing in them: victory.

It’s at this point, always, that Jason wakes up, fully aroused, and unable to get back to sleep. The cold shower barely works, so Jason slips on some jeans and a t-shirt and goes for a ride.

" Bobbie, you have to eat something. You don’t want the judge to be distracted by growls in your lovely stomach. I have prepared a feast.", Jerry said.

" Jerry, I can’t eat. Some judge is going to decide whether Tony gets his mits on my son today."

" You have to think for the best."

" I know...but, I am expecting the worst. Tony has put up a good front. He’s good on appearances. He’s made all the right moves. Nobody sees the babynapper who held Robin hostage. He’s Mr. Respectable."

" The judge won’t be fooled by that."

" Oh no? Jerry, I’m not so sure. I’m scared that today I could come home sharing custody of my son with a lunatic."

" That won’t happen."

" You can’t promise me that. I can’t promise myself that. Let’s go.."

Bobbie and Jerry leave for court.

Laura is in the dining room with Lesley and Lulu. Stefan had not come back to the country house, but, Laura believed that his business with Alexis took longer than he had expected and when it had gone on, combined with the storm, he had decided to stay at Wyndemere. Though she had tried to call him, there was no answer. She took it that he was on his way. Laura felt free. She felt more relaxed than she had been in ages.

Lesley took one look at her daughter and grimaced. She KNEW what Laura’s appearance meant. It meant that she had committed herself to that vampire. She scowled just thinking about Stefan succeeding in breaking up Luke and Laura. No matter what Laura had said, Lesley knew that Laura still loved Luke and was confused about Stefan. Her mind was racing with ideas as to how to deal with Stefan.

" Mother, stop your mind from calculating.", Laura admonished.

" Calculating? Me? Yoiu have accused the wrong party in this house of that.", Lesley snidely replied.

" Mother, I’m happy. Please be happy for me."

" Never, Darling. Not as long as you’re with the WRONG man."

Laura was about to reply when Mrs. Lansbury came though the door.

" Pardon me, Mrs. Spencer. But, these gentlemen were looking for Master Nikolas, and I thought possibly you could speak to them."

Laura saw Detective Garcia and another man.

" Detective Garcia? May I help you?"

" Mrs. Spencer. I was looking for your son. Do you know where he is?"

Laura was nervous. " No. Is he in trouble?"

" Not at all, Ma’am. I have news for you."

" News?"

" I’m sorry. But, I regret to inform you that Stefan Cassadine died early this morning in a car crash."
