XIII travels to the small town Greenfalls where he is supposed to have spent his childhood. He is looking for more information about the death of his father. Meanwhile, Jones is attacked in her apartment by two hitmen.
----
!!''The Jason Fly Case'' provides examples of:
* AcademicAthlete: Jason Fly was a champion in the ski team of CU Boulder.
* ActionPet: Jones's cat saves her life: he jumps on the face of a hitman. This even counts as a HeroicSacrifice, since Jones says later that the cat died.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Dwight Rigby and the Mongoose join forces to go after XIII.
* BoobyTrap: Kern plants a bomb in XIII's room. It [[MurderByMistake kills Murdoch]] when he searches the room.
* BoundAndGagged: The deputy sheriff is bound and gagged by XIII and Jones, when XIII escapes from the prison.
* ButtMonkey: David Rigby. Quinn insults him after the explosion. He is terrified when he sees Jones and two corpses in the hospital and Jones makes fun of him. Then the Mongoose calls him an idiot.
* ClearMyName:
** XIII is framed for the murder of Murdoch, who died in the explosion of a bomb planted by Kern.
** Jones is framed for the murders of Dr Robertson and Kern. Dr Robertson was killed by Kern and she killed Kern, but in self-defense.

* DirtyCop: Quinn, the sheriff of Greenfalls, who is an accomplice of Dwight Rigby.
* EmotionallyTongueTied: Jones is too proud to confess she would like a RelationshipUpgrade with XIII. She asks him what are his feelings for her. Since he does not answer with a LoveConfession, she is disappointed and does not confess her own feelings.
* {{Fanservice}}: Jones is almost naked when two hitmen move into her apartment.
* {{FlashBack}}: The consequences of Jones's wound and XIII's investigation about the life of Jason Fly are told in flash-backs.
* FlashbackEffects: The panel borders are rounded instead of square in the flashbacks.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Jones's cat inflicts evil scars on Kern's cheeks.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: The explosion of the bomb planted by Kern triggers an avalanche that isolates the town from the outside world.
* HeroStoleMyBike: Jones steals car from the parking lot of the hospital to go to Greenfalls.
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: The Mongoose pretends to be a federal agent.
* InMediasRes: The story starts with the arrival of XIII in Greenfalls, then several flash-backs explain prior events.

* MadLibThrillerTitle: "The" + name of a person + noun with political undertones.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr Robertson, who gives a sleep cure to Zeke so that he cannot speak to XIII.
* MysteriousPast:
** Jason Fly has a very mysterious past. Very little information about his past can be found (for example not any single photograph). Moreover, nobody knows what he did during 6 years between his university graduation and his hiring as a mole by Heideger.
** Jonathan Fly's past counts too: why did he leave New York? Why did he settle in a small town? Why XIII cannot find any information about him in the archives of the newspaper he worked for?
* ParentalAbandonment: Jason Fly's mother died when she gave birth to him. His father died when his son was 11.

* ProfessionalKiller: Kern and the Mongoose's mission is to kill XIII.

* RunningGag: Everybody (Mrs Murdoch, Judith, David, Zeke) offers XIII some coffee and he always refuses. In the chalet Judith asks what he is drinking and he answers coffee. Too bad, there is no coffee and she gives him whisky.
* SavedForTheSequel: The Jason Fly file does not mention what he did during 6 years between his university graduation and his hiring as a mole by Heideger.
* TheSheriff: Quinn is the sheriff of Greenfalls.
* TheShrink: XIII's shrink is well-meaning, but he cannot solve his problem.

* TalkingInYourSleep: Zeke gives Jones crucial clues when he talks in his sleep in the hospital.
* TownWithADarkSecret: XIII soon discovers that there is something wrong about his father's death. Some inhabitants of Greenfalls know what happened.
