Be in position for story (3)
I believe the answer is:
lie
This clue is a double definition.
'be in position' is the first definition.
(as in a phrase like 'lie in wait')
'story' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lie that I've seen before include "Fabrication" , "Be prone - misrepresent the facts" , "Rest; falsehood" , "Mistruth" , "Perjure" .)
