Steven eased the car off the road and onto the short driveway that led up to the house that he had given to Jason and Sarah to use for the duration of their stay in Chicago. It was a nice one story home located a short distance from Chicago itself, it gave the young couple all the privacy they could want, and allowed for the events he had planned for this evening to be carried out without interruption. He turned the lights of the car off so as not to alert the single occupant currently in the home to his and his quests arrival. Stopping the car a short distance from the home to further avoid notice he reached into his jacket pocket and produced a key that he handed to the young lady sitting beside him. He knew it wasn't truly necessary to say anything but still he felt the irresistible desire to urge this young lady on to greater heights then he figured she would be willing to go tonight.

You do remember whats to happen here tonight right my dear? I mean this is the moment you have truly been waiting on for sometime now and I just want to be sure your ready for tonight's festivities. After all this is all going to be recorded for us to enjoy at future times when we need to see something that will cheer us up.

At that point Steven produced the small digital camera with which he intended to film tonights proceedings the devious smile never leaving his face as he waited to hear from the young woman with him before encouraging her further.

[Jynx]

She looked down at the camera in his hand. Only shaking her head at the device before looking back towards the house while speaking in a low voice.

"Yeah I know what's supposed to happen here tonight. Just what was supposed to happen a long time ago. You can keep the footage for yourself though. I won't need it. No way in hell am I gonna forget this night."

"And she won't either. Let's hurry up and get this over with. I've waited long enough as is."

[sc]

Steven's face took on an almost evil look as he spoke next to Casey.

Good then sneak around back and use the key I've given you to let yourself in. Once I see you are ready and in place I'll tell your sister that I've brought a wonderful gift for her and that will be your cue to act. One thing Casey I want tonight to make Toronto look like a picnic I want that young woman screaming in pain, begging for it all to stop and yelling for that over sized oaf a son of mine to save her. That last one is key Casey dear because I want this to be as painful for him mentally as it will be for Sarah physically, you can do that can't you Casey hmmm?

He already knew what her answer would be it seemed this one was in anticipation of the violence to come this evening as much as he was. He had to wonder though how would she take to the surprise he had in mind for the end of the evening, surely Casey would love a little time away from it all with her sister to have even more time to work out their "problems". Still before that there was much to be done here and he didn't wish to delay any longer.

[Jynx]

Her face was void of emotion. Nothing was there. In the movements in her facial features nor even a slight wavering in her line of vision and focus. His words registered yes but, her mind had already begun it's seemingly destined skewed descent into a violent tangent. She could only nod her head in agreement to his words as her hand slowly reached for the door handle of the car.

Seconds later she could feel the pavement beneath her feet, letting out a long and drawn out breath almost billowing out from her mouth as she pulls the black coat around her body before turning back to Steven.

"Just don't take too long either. I can tell you like to talk a lot. Just remember I'm outside in the freezing cold while you're giving your next sermon huh? I HATE...Waiting."

Without another word she turned away, making her way towards the back of the house at a slow pace. Already hearing the screams from her estranged sister in her mind. Which instantly brought a sadistic smile to her face.

[sc]

Like a chameleon adapting to it's surroundings Steven's own face changed going from the devious evil smile that was there to something more warm and inviting, as he exited the car himself and approached the front door of the house. He knocked three times and then waited patiently for Sarah to answer. He already knew that he would talk to Sarah for a minute or two just to make Casey wait giving her just that little extra bit of aggression to take out on the young woman. The thoughts of what was about to occur made the smile on his face seem all the more genuine and the thoughts of the pain Jason would go through later when he found out what transpired here tonight would be well worth the wait of making this all happen. The door before him opened and there stood the focus of tonights exercise in pain, the smile still on his face Steven spoke up.

Good evening Sarah hope I'm not interrupting anything I was on my way back to Chicago after some business I had and thought I might stop by for a visit see how you and my son were doing.

[Sarah Andrews]

Sarah's smile instantly shown as she opened the door to reveal Jason's father. Though she was smiling, it was clear that it was a combination of surprise and shock that was the cause of the facial expression. Not really expecting anyone to visit this evening, much less Jason's father, the hesitation in her words alone were enough to probably give off how nervous and at a loss of words she was right now...

"...Um...Mr. Cross?...I ahh...Wow, what a surprise...Wh...J...Jason isn't here right now actually so...It's really just me here. Umm...Did Jason know you were gonna stop by or...?"

[sc]

The smile never leaving his face Steven spoke to Sarah about his "intentions" for his visit on this night.

To be honest Sarah I wanted to talk to you if it was all right. Since Jason and I are still only just getting to the point where we could talk again I wanted to talk to you and see how he was dealing with what happened to Mark. So if it would be okay and you had a few minutes to spare a worried father could we head inside and talk?

[Sarah Andrews]

"Well...."

She began to think the "offer" to talk over a bit, glancing past Mr. Cross as if looking for Jason to arrive home any minute now. It wasn't that she didn't trust that he wanted to just speak on a few things, it was just an eerie feeling for someone you know nearly nothing about to ask to step into your home, regardless of supplying said home or how temporary it was...

"...Well Mr. Cross I...I don't know...Kind of don't feel right about letting someone in without Jason being here...Is there anyway we can do this later or...Tomorrow when Jason's here?"

[sc]

Normally I would say yes but at this point I'm thinking it may be better to talk when Jason isn't around I know he looks up to his brother and well I don't want to have him focusing on the fact that Mark has yet to wake up since he was brought into the hospital weeks ago, and well I'm afraid he may just think I'm using this as a way to try and get back into good graces with the family.

Making the smile on his face as genuine as possible Steven waited on Sarah's response just a second before adding.

I promise I'll keep this as brief as possible and be out of your hair I'm just worried about my son.

[Sarah Andrews]

Letting out a long sigh, she once again looked past the spot where Mr. Cross stood. Once again secretly wishing for Jason to arrive right at that moment. But she knew the chances of that happening were slim to none pretty much. He seemed genuine enough she thought, and if she could do anything to help them all get along even better now that they were in contact with one another, she knew she should be jumping at the chance to do so.

"Well...Okay...But not for long, Jason's paranoid about any other men being around when he's not...Regardless of who it is so...Let's make it quick if we can...?"

Stepping aside she allowed him enough room to enter their temporary home, the forced smile still on her face as she pondered just what this conversation would be about.

[sc]

I promise I'll make this as quick as I can.

Moving past Sarah and into the house Steven placed himself so he could watch for the arrival of Sarah's sister at her predetermined place of readiness just inside the back door, and at the same time left it so that Sarah wouldn't see anything till it was to late and the tap was sprung.

The thing I'm most worried about is how Jason may be reacting to all this. I know with as close as those two boys of mine have been that it's possible Jason may be thinking of finding who did this and taking out some kind of revenge for Mark. He hasn't shown any signs of doing something like that has he Sarah?

[Sarah Andrews]

Sarah stood, arms folded as she listened to Mr. Cross' words. Clearly she understood his concern about the developments lately concerning him coming back into their lives as well as the recent happenings with Mark and his unfortunate "accident". She too had to admit that the same thing crossed her mind once she received the news about it all and his current condition.

"Well...No not really. But he's prone to not let me onto things like that most of the time. He knows I wouldn't approve so I doubt he'd openly let it be known he was planning something like that Mr. Cross."

"...But...I sure hope he's not planning doing anything rash and out of line. I know he's got a temper so...I can't really say I can't see it happening if given the chance to exact revenge...We can only pray and hope I think at this point...How IS Mark doing anyway?"

[sc]

Oh this one was smart indeed Steven thought hopefully Casey would be in place soon so things could get underway he would hate to have to resort to hurting the young lady himself but only because it would cause problems in dealing with Casey.

Well he has been unconscious since the night he was pulled from the river. Police still have no idea what happened or how he ended up being shot they even suggested that it may have been an attempt at suicide since they found out that his wife Lindsay recently left him, but I doubt that, even at the worst of times mark would never consider that an option at least not the son I know but it has been some time since we spoke. Hopefully he recovers and I can try and make peace with him as well.

One last look at the back door and he was sure he could see Casey waiting ready to pounce so he decided to deliver the signal that would set this evenings entertainment in motion.

Oh one last thing Sarah I brought you a little gift one that i think you will find most surprising.

[Sarah Andrews]

An inquisitive look instantly crossed her face hearing his words of a "surprise" that he had brought for...Her?

"Oh I...Really? A surprise? For me?..."

The final words spoken by the woman known as the "Iron Rose", before the surprise "itself" made it known that they were indeed not alone on this evening, when...

[Jynx]

*Permission Granted of Course*

Casey had watched intently, stepping slowly and as quietly as she possibly could, proceeding towards the part of the living area closest to the front door. Her face quickly changed to that of anger...That of vengeance it seemed as her steps sped up within a second almost, Sarah seemingly to have caught wind of the approaching sounds, seeing her partly turn her body around, obviously seeking to see what the commotion was...

...A crushing forearm was sent towards her lower back area with enough force to send them both crashing to the carpet beneath, merely a few feet away from the man whom had given Casey this oh so enticing opportunity. Their bodies crash against the floor as Casey could plainly hear the scream of pain from her beloved sisters lips.

Not a second was wasted, regaining her balance, making sure to straddle Sarah's frame, attempting to pin her to the floor beneath them. And the assault truly began at that very moment, the closed fists of hers violently reigning down on top of her sister over and over as each second passed by. Each strike sent full force, as the demeanor in her facial expression approached that of pure merciless vengeance. The words from her would be mentor ringing in her ears the entire time as he watched on from but a few feet away.
