The Phone Call

It's been six months since the Island of Carthis. He hadn't called her once. Nor has she got any gifts or clues. It's like he dropped off the face of the earth. He just doesn't exist anymore. Which in fact was true since the Centre destroyed all of his personal records.

It was late at the Centre, everyone was long gone. Ever since learning the truth about her family she went into a shell. She never talked to Sydney or Broots only when necessary. After they found Mr. Parkers body in the Atlantic about a month ago with no scrolls Miss Parker went in to a deeper shell. Sydney tried talking to her but it was no use. She started smoking again and drinking more. Now worse then ever was her bark and her bite. All she had was her Uncle Raines or as he wanted her to call him 'Daddy'. She also had her cannibalistic twin brother. She forgot one person her baby brother who she and only she called K.T. She laughed took a shot of vodka and shook her head.

"He's not even my real brother." She said aloud and to no one in particular. She laughed harder and sipped more vodka. Then she heard her mother's voice. "Ethan." That made Miss Parker laugh harder and fall out of her chair.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. I share a brother with wonder boy and he hasn't called in six months." She took another sip of vodka and continued. "I'm glad you're trying to help mama but your not." She sighed and climbed back into her chair. Then the phone rang but it startled her and she jumped.

"What?" she answered with a giggle. Then she heard a voice she hadn't heard in six months.

"Hello Miss Parker." Said a too cheerful Jarod who sounded a little far away.

"Holy Shit its Jarod. How are ya buddy o' pal and you sound far away am I on speaker phone? Who else is there? Well whoever it is HI!" she said screaming and with a slur.

Jarod looked down at the phone with a confused look, shook his head, looked at his onlookers who had hands covering their mouths.

"Miss Parker are you drunk? You know that isn't good for your ulcer."

He heard more giggling then Miss Parker "Who would care about me if I died. Thanks monkey boy but I don't need you to. Nice of you to call. Buh Bye." Then he heard a click

He had a confused and stunned look on his face. He looked up at his onlookers and said "She hung up on me" in a high voice. He looked back down at the phone. Everyone was still looking at him and he continued. "I can't believe she hung up on me. She was also giggling." He looked back up at the people surrounding them and they all burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" he asked in his curious voice with his adorable confused face. But a small smile was playing on his lips. It took about five minutes for everyone to sober up.

"Your face was. It was priceless J." said a fifteen year old Jimmy. Better known as Gemini. He looked at the rest of the people at the table.

His mother was on his left side and his sister was to his right. Next to his mother was his father. On the right side of his sister was Jimmy. Last but not least in between his father and brother was Ethan.

"My face was funny?" He got nods from the whole table. "Why was my face funny?"

He heard a sigh on his left side and he looked at his mother as she grabbed his hand that was on the table. "Where just joking with you sweetheart. That look you gave us was so adorable. You use to look at your father and me like that when you were little." She said with a smile.

That made him happy as a huge smile lit up his face. He learnt a lot about his past the last four months when he found his whole family. The first the thing he asked her was his age and his birthday. He found out he was forty-four and his birthday was February 2nd.

"Let's go to bed. I'll call Sydney in the morning to see what's up with Miss Parker." Said a tired looking Jarod. Again everyone nodded.
