RIPPER

Jason Foster

I ran inside the hospital and saw Maggie sitting outside the intensive care unit while Roman and Marcus are comforting her.

"Maggie!" I called her as I ran towards her.

"Jason!" She cried as she ran towards me and hugged me tight.

"How is he??" I asked as we pulled apart.

"He's alive Jason" She smiled despite the tears on her eyes.

"I'm sorry Maggie I should've listened to you" I started to cry.

"Hey! Jason it's not your fault! Okay!.. I understand you.. I understand now" She smiled as she hugged me tight.

"The killer is trying to set us all up Maggie" I cried.

"I know.. I know" Maggie cried.

We pulled apart and smiled at each other.

"Can I see him??" I asked.

"He's still resting" Maggie sighed.

I took a deep breath as a sign relief.

Clark is okay.. Clark is alive.. I'm so thankful..

I'm so fucking happy!!

"I have to face him.. I have to kill that fucking Ripper" I closed my fist out of anger.

"You're not alone in that fight" Maggie smiled.

"I'll fight with you" Marcus smiled as he stood next to Maggie.

"Me too" Roman smiled.

"We're just gonna have to find out who the Ripper is"

I looked around and saw Leslie walking towards us.

"Lucky for you.. I have clues" She smiled.

"Clues??" I asked.

"well.. Claire called and gave me this" Leslie smiled as she handed me the folders.

"Where is she??" I asked.

"She said she's too scared to get out" Leslie sighed.

"What's in these folders??" Marcus asked.

"My dad's files" I sighed.

"That's my dad's!" Maggie stared at the folders confused.

"Your dad's??" I asked.

"My dad is a lawyer.. He handled the case against your Dad.. I'm sorry" She sighed.

I placed my hand on her shoulder and shrugged.

"Your dad is just doing his job" I smiled.

"I shouldn't have used that against you" She sighed.

"Maggie you can't blame yourself for doing so.. We get it.. You love Clark and you'll do anything for him to get out of jail" Marcus smiled.

"That's heartfelt and all but we need to focus on our enemy.. The Ripper" Leslie sighed.

"Leslie we can't talk here" Maggie stared at Leslie.

"I know.. That's why I booked us a seat at Clarette's!!" Leslie smiled.

"That's expensive" Roman frowned.

"I have savings Roman" Leslie rolled her eyes.

"Let's go then!" Maggie smiled.

We sat on the table next to the window and Maggie opened the folder.

"What are you looking for??" Leslie asked.
