Chapter I
"Sir, would you like to smell our new fragrance for women, 'La Fleur'?"
Roberto Martinez turned around and found himself face to face with a cheery, red-headed, saleswoman. The woman smiled and eagerly sprayed the perfume into the air.
Berto inhaled it then coughed. The saleswoman smiled brightly.
"Now can't you just imagine the woman in your life wearing delicate fragrance," asked the woman in a smooth voice.
Berto shuddered slightly.
"Yeah, I can," he answered truthfully. "It almost makes me glad I don't have one," he added quietly to himself.
"Berto! What are you doing," asked a slightly irritated Josh, rather loudly, "You are suppose to be helping me find a gift for Rachel."
Berto sighed deeply.
"I am looking for a gift," Berto hissed through his teeth, "Why don't you just get her this," he asked pointing to the perfume.
Josh wrinkled his nose.
"No way bro. That stuff smells," Josh said turning away from it.
An offended look crossed the saleswoman's face.
Berto laughed nervously.
"Thank you miss," he said politely to the woman, "Maybe next time."
The two guys then turned and left the perfume section of the department store they were in.
Josh sighed dejectedly.
"Who would have known it would this hard to find a gift," he asked his friend.
Berto rolled his eyes.
"You are the one making it hard," he accused.
Josh scoffed.
"No it's true," Berto continued, "All you have to do is buy her a purse, or a dress, or some perfume. But no! You have to have the PERFECT gift!"
Josh chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess I've been kind of picky, huh?"
Berto nodded his agreement.
"I'm sorry bro," Josh said truthfully, "It's just…This is a very important day and deserves a very great gift."
Berto smiled slightly.
"Yeah I guess you are right. Geez, I can't believe it's been a whole two years."
"Neither can I," Josh said smiling brightly, "But yet it has been. Two years of martial bliss."
"And sleeping on the couch," Berto added with a smirk.
"Hey, it's not my fault I forgot her birthday," Josh said defensively, "I mean I was out saving the world after all."
"Yeah and Rachel did let you off easy. I would have preferred that she just drop kick you."
Josh smiled.
"Yeah I guess I was lucky she was still carrying Molly at the time, huh?"
"Yeah you were," laughed Berto.
"Well this present, whatever it is, will more than make up for forgetting her birthday and for missing the baby's first Easter and for not being at any of the baby's fifteen baby showers….."
Rachel smiled brightly and moved back to admire her work. Rachel giggled.
Baby Molly looked up at her mom curiously.
"Come here pretty baby," whispered Rachel as she picked up her child.
She took the baby to the mirror. Molly squealed excitedly at the reflection in the mirror.
"That's right," said Rachel, "That's you."
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," squealed Molly happily.
"Do you like the bunny outfit Mommy bought you?"
"Gaaaaaabaagaa!"
"Ha, ha good!"
Rachel cradled her baby in her arms. Pride shown brightly in her eyes as she looked over the infant. They had named the little girl after Josh's mother. It had been Rachel's idea and ultimately it was also her ticket to getting Josh to agree to all the things she bought for the child and herself during the three months she was banned from N-Tek because of her "condition."
But now looking at the baby. It all seemed worth while.
A sudden knock on the door startled Rachel. She quickly took the baby into the living room and propped her up against a pillow.
hen she went to the door and opened it. On the steps was a UPS man. Rachel smiled at the man.
"Yes, may I help you?"
The man smiled and nodded.
"Are you Mrs. McGrath also known as Ms. Leeds?"
Rachel nodded
"Good," said the man, "Sign here please."
Rachel took the clipboard that the man was holding out. She signed her name.
The man reached down and picked up a nice size brown box.
"What is it," she asked curiously.
The man shrugged.
"I don't know," he stated, "Perhaps… a surprise," he added smiling mysteriously.
A shiver went down Rachel's spine. She however ignored her instincts and took the box. She then thanked the man and went back inside.
"Ok Molly, Let's see what we have here," Rachel said to her daughter in a baby voice.
She sat the box on the coffee table and then quickly retrieved a pair of scissors.
A sudden memory of the UPS man's smile flashed through her mind. She shook herself mentally. What was her problem?
The scissors cut through the tape with ease. Rachel put the scissors down and eagerly opened the box. Just as soon as the box was open, a strange green gas was sprayed from something inside of it.
Rachel gasped and put her hands up to protect herself from the gas. However, it was too late. She quickly felt the gasses affect. She became dizzy and fell to the floor. Molly began to cry. Rachel tried to concentrate on getting to her. She tried to crawl towards the baby with all her might but instead she just collapsed. At this, Molly cried harder. However, Rachel could not hear her anymore. She was now lost in a dark black hole.
Twenty miles away the UPS truck headed onto the highway. The UPS man reached up and pulled off the mask he was wearing. He pulled a small cell phone.
"Mr. Dread…. Yeah Mission accomplished."
This is my first new story in a LONG time. I have been so bored with all my ideas. Blah. But at least I know where I'm going with this story. R n R
