STUCK

CHAPTER 1
Summary: What would Miss Parker, Lyle and Jarod do if they were chained together?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and I'm not getting paid for writing it.
A/N: Just so you know this isn't the same story as Miss P's Shackled. We kinda shared the idea and decided to write different fic's about it.
SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE IN A HOUSE IN THE WOODS 09.00
Lyle tries to roll to a more comfortable way to sleep, but something is locked to his arms. He wakes up and sees that he's still fully dressed and he has chains on both his arms.
"What the hell is going on here??" He asks out loud.
"Stop screaming I have a headache." He hears from above. That's when he realizes that he's lying on the floor. He gets to his feet and sees Miss Parker and Jarod in the bed. He then notices the chains around their wrists and realizes that for some reason Jarod was locked to his right side and Miss Parker to his left.
'Oh great, I hate being in the middle' He thinks and yanks at the chains to try and get them off, but they're too tight.
"Hey. Sis, Labrat get up." He says loudly. He hears a moan from Miss Parker and sees Jarod sitting up as stiff as a stick. Jarod carefully looks around and sees the chain around his left arm. He traces it with his eyes and understands that he's chained together with Lyle. He then sees the chain on Lyles left arm and sees that Lyle is chained to Miss Parker as well.
"What kind of sick game are you playing?" He growls.
"Believe it or not Jarod but I had nothing to do with this. I had no idea you were even here. Where are we anyway?" Lyle answers and tries to figure out where they are.
"I don't know what the hell is going on, but if someone doesn't get this fucking chain off me heads will roll around the floor." Miss Parker growls suddenly.
"Sorry sis. I don't have a key. All I know is that I went home to my bed to sleep last night, and I woke up with these around my wrists and I was for some reason lying on the floor in lord-knows-where with you two." Lyle says irritated.
"Okay, I believe you, for now. But if you ever take out a key to these cuffs from your pocket I'll kill you. Got it?" Miss Parker says threatingly and gets to her feet. She walks over to the bathroom, but has to stop as the two feet long chain straightens and the person on the other end stands still. She turns and stares at Lyle angrily.
"Get your ass over here now. I need to freshen up." She growls at him.
"Don't tell me. Tell him." Lyle says and points to Jarod who just stands staring out the window. Miss Parker sighs.
"Hey, Pezhead. Here." Jarod looks at her and starts to walk to her.
"What is it?" He asks suspiciously.
"I need to use the bathroom. So can you please figure out how the hell I'm supposed to do that if you're not cooperating?" Miss Parker asks sweetly. Jarod pretends to think about it for awhile.
"I guess. I don't know." He smiles.
"Just go to the fucking bathroom Parker." Lyle says impatiently. Miss Parker glares angrily at him then she turns around and closes the bathroom door as much as she can because of the chain.
A MINUTE LATER
"Lyle?" Jarod says carefully.
"Yeah, what?"
"You really don't know where we are?"
"No. Do you?"
"No. I was in New Orleans yesterday but it doesn't look anything like this. I mean there are trees everywhere." Jarod says confused.
"So I guess we're in Never, neverland then huh?" Miss Parker says as she walks out from the bathroom.
"Never, neverland? What is that?" Jarod asks confused.
"It's the place where Peter Pan and his friends live and flies around, oh and they never grow up." Lyle answers with a hint of longing in his voice.
"Err, you do know it's only fiction don't you??" Miss Parker says.
"Yes, of course I do." Lyle snaps seemingly irritated to have been snapped out of his dream world.
"So the people in this place can fly?" Jarod asks confused.
"Only the kids. It's this planet somewhere, and these lost kids fight the grown up pirates. And they are lead by Peter Pan and his little elf Tinkerbelle." Lyle answers.
"Am I the only grown-up here?" Miss Parker interrupts and receives angry glares from the other two.
"Fine I'll be quiet. But could we at least get away from the bathroom door?" She continues and the trio walks back over to the bed.
"They fight the grown ups?? But I thought you said they never grew up?" Jarod asks as they sit down.
"The grown ups were already grown up when they got there." Miss Parker answers impatiently. Lyle and Jarod stares at her surprised.
"What? I have been a kid once. It doesn't mean that I still am though."
"Fine. Let's start another subject. How the hell did we get here? Where is here? And how do we get away from here?" Lyle asks.
"Well to answer all of your questions with four words; I have no idea." Jarod answers.
"Yeah me neither." Miss Parker agrees.
"Well wasn't that a very giving discussion? Why don't we try to go out through the door?" Lyle says and looks questioningly at Miss Parker.
"Fine. Come on." She says with a sigh and the three of them goes to the door. Miss Parker turns the handle but the door won't budge.
"Here let me." Jarod says and turns the door inwards and it opens. He gives her a smug smile.
"You pushed the door the wrong way." He explains still smiling.
"Smartass. Let's go." She growls at him.
"Wait a minute. Are we just going out there with these chains on?" Lyle asks.
"Yeah, considering we can't get them off. What else do you suggest that we should do? Stay in here all day??" Miss Parker asks and looks angrily at her brother.
"No of course not. But people will think we're crazy." Lyle continues.
"People already think you are crazy, Lyle. Just feel at home." Jarod says with a smile.
"You little." Lyle starts but gets interrupted by Miss Parker.
"Stop fighting boys. Jeez, and stop trying to get yourself killed Jarod."
"Are you worried for my safety Parker??" Jarod taunts.
"No, but you should be. I'm just saying that if one of us dies the two others won't be able to get anywhere." She explains. She looks at Jarod and sees the look of disappointment written all over his face. She sighs deeply. She really hates to disappoint him.
"Let's just get the hell out of this room, allright?" She says impatiently.
"Sure why not." Jarod says and walks out the door dragging his feet behind him.
"After you dear brother." Miss Parker says. Lyle sighs and walks after Jarod. Miss Parker follows and closes the door.
MEANWHILE IN THE CENTRE
"Sydney!" A nervous little man is screaming as he sees the older man walk in to his office. Sydney turns around to face the other man.
"What is it Broots?"
"H.have you s.seen M...Miss P.P.Parker this morning?" Broots quickly asks.
"No. Why?" Sydney states as the two of them walks into his office.
"I got a clue on Jarod. He has p.pretended to be a teacher to stop a teenage g.girl rapist on a campus in N.New Orleans. I wanted to tell P.Parker but I can't get in touch with her. She hasn't got h.her cell phone on. S.so I thought that m.maybe I should tell M.Mr. Lyle but I couldn't f.find him either. D.do you think something bad happened to them?" Broots asks nervously.
Sydney starts to answer as the door suddenly opens and Mr Parker comes in.
"Where the hell is my daughter?" He screams.
"We were just wondering that ourselves Mr. Parker. It seems she hasn't appeared for work this morning, and apparently neither has your son." Sydney answers.
"What?! Lyle isn't here either? Find them. NOW!!" Mr. Parker screams and storms out of the office.
"Well I guess Jarod is on hold for now. Let's get to work." Sydney says and hears Broots sighing as he walks towards his hole.
TEN MINUTES LATER SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE
Miss Parker, Jarod and Lyle have managed to find a shop with people in it.
"Excuse me sir, could you please tell us where we are?" Jarod asks and hears Lyle and Miss Parker sighing.
"No. I'm afraid we are not allowed to." The man answers and turns to leave. But an arm on his shoulder stops him.
"And why the hell not?" Miss Parker says and spins the man around to face her.
"Because he told us not to." The man answers frightened by the looks of this woman and one of the men that apparently was stuck in the middle.
"Who the hell told you not to tell us what fucking spot on this earth we're at?" Lyle says angrily and the man starts to shiver in fear.
"I'm not allowed."
"Understand this you little shithead I don't care what you're not allowed to do. But if you don't tell us where we are and who put us here I am going to kill you, and I'm not kidding." Miss Parker growls in his ear.
"I.I."
"He's starting to sound like Broots." Lyle says with a laugh. And he receives an angry look from Miss Parker.
"Shut the fuck up you moron." She growls at him.
"Err."
"What is it Jarod?" She snaps.
"Your fighting subject just disappeared." He says with a little smile, thinking about how many times he himself managed to escape when the two twins starts fighting.
"Damn. It's your entire fault Lyle." Miss Parker screams.
"How is this my fault? You're the one who threatened him." Lyle tries to defend himself.
"So you're saying it's my fault?" She screams furious.
"No, I'm just saying it's not my fault. Could you just relax?" Lyle tries to calm her down.
"Next time we meet someone, can you two let me do all the talking?" Jarod asks impatiently.
"Why the hell should we?" Lyle asks and stares angrily at him.
"Because we want to get information not kill all the source it might come from." Jarod says in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Fine do what the hell you want. I don't care anymore. Just don't blame me when this source runs away." Miss Parker says angrily and starts to walk away when Lyle says something.
"What is it?" She says angrily.
"I said that you can't leave yet." He repeats.
"And why the hell not?" She asks and stares at him with angry eyes.
"Because RatBoy is apparently not finished with his questioning." Lyle answers and nods towards Jarod who's talking to an eye-catching woman. Miss Parker felt angrier than ever before. 'Why am I reacting like this? It's only Jarod. I hate him, don't I?' She thinks confused. She looks away from Jarod and catches the confused look on Lyles face.
"What?" She asks trying her Ice queen mode but can't do it completely.
"Oh my god, you're in love with him aren't you?" Lyle asks with a chocked look on his face.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She snaps angrily. But inside her inner sense screams: *YES! She is. She just doesn't know it yet.*
"Shut up!" Miss Parker screams loudly, Jarod turns to look at her.
"Err. You do know we didn't say anything Parker?" Lyle says confused.
"Go to hell." She screams and tries to run away from them, but the chain yanks her arm backwards making her and Lyle tumbling to the floor, Jarod manages to remain in a standing position.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Miss Parker screams at her brother.
"I didn't do anything Parker. You tried to run and dragged me down to the floor with you." Lyle answers with pain in his voice.
"Lyle what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Jarod asks with a hint of worry.
"I'm fine." Lyle answers and gets to his feet; he starts to feel dizzy and grabs the nearest thing for support. That just happened to be Jarod.
"Whoa calm down. I don't want to fall to." Jarod says a bit angry.
"Sorry I just got dizzy I'll be just fine in a second." Lyle answers but doesn't let go of Jarods shoulder.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Jarod asks worried.
"Yeah." Lyle says and manages to stand on his own.
"How do you know? Since when are you a doctor?" Miss Parker asks starting to worry as she sees him sway.
"Just leave me alone will you, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place." Lyle says angrily and grabs Jarods shoulder again.
"Calm down, both of you. Lyle I think we should get you to the hospital." Jarod says in a stern voice.
"Oh, really? And how do you suppose we explain the fact that we're stuck together when they ask you two to leave the room? 'Excuse me but could you two leave so we can examine the patient? No we can't. You see we woke up this morning with these chains around our wrists.' What do you suppose he says then huh?" Lyle says sarcastically.
"No of course not." Jarod says angry, but still realizes the fact that Lyle has a point.
"Why don't you just check him out Wonder boy? You are the best doctor in the world." Miss Parker states.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Jarod asks and smiles at Miss Parker.
"Why don't you just sit down over here?" Jarod asks. Lyle nods and the three of them walks towards the bench and Lyle sits down with Parker next to him.
"Try to follow my finger with your eyes." Jarod says and looks at Lyle and as Lyle does as directed.
"Is he alright?" Miss Parker asks as Jarod seems to be finished.
"He will be alright if we stay here for awhile." Jarod answers.
"I told you I would be fine didn't I?" Lyle says with a small smile.
"Well you sure as hell didn't look alright to me." Miss Parker says sadly.
"Well I am now aren't I?" Lyle says impatiently and starts to get up, but Miss Parker holds a firm grip on his arm.
"Could you let go?" He asks and looks irritated at her.
"No, Jarod told you that we should stay here for awhile." She says and looks at Jarod for help.
"Sorry Lyle, she's right. I told you that we have to stay here." Jarod says and gives Lyle an apologetic smile.
"Fine! I'll stay. For how long?" Lyle whines at them.
"Just an hour. Why?" Jarod says as Miss Parker fights to hold back a giggle.
"I'm bored." Lyle says and Miss Parker can't hold her giggles anymore.
"What the hell is so funny?" Lyle asks irritated as he looks at her with angry eyes.
"We've just been here a few minutes and you're already bored?" Jarod asks and looks at the fighting twins.
"Yeah. Why, isn't that allowed?" Lyle asks and turns his angry eyes towards Jarod.
"Yeah that's okay. I was just asking."
"I'm sorry, Lyle. I just got a laughing fit. It wasn't about you. I'm sorry." Miss Parker says through her laughing fit.
AN HOUR LATER SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, ON A BENCH OUTSIDE A STORE
Lyle, Miss Parker and Jarod are just about to get up from the bench.
"So where exactly are we going? Are we still going to try and find someone who can tell us where we are?" Miss Parker asks Jarod and yawns.
"Yes I guess so. Why Miss Parker are you tired?" He says with a smile. Lyle is just shaking his head.
"Not really. But I want to do something funny." She says with a whimper.
"Oh really?" Jarod says with a big smile.
"Not that kind of fun. We're stuck with my brother, remember?" Miss Parker says a bit irritated.
"Do any of you have money? I'm starving." Jarod stops the conversation. Lyle and Miss Parker starts to go through their pockets.
"Yeah, I have a thousand dollars. Weird. I wonder where those came from?" Lyle answers as he brings up a few hundred dollar bills.
"I have a thousand dollars to." Miss Parker says equally surprised.
"Hmm. Me to. If we put our money together we'll have three thousand dollars." Jarod says.
"No kidding. You don't have to be a genius to figure that out." Lyle says sarcastically.
"Be nice. We should decide who should take care of our money." Jarod says a bit irritated and looks at Miss Parker.
"Can't we just take care of our own money? I mean it isn't like we could buy anything without the others notice anyway." Miss Parker says and gives Jarod a questioning look.
"Good point. Okay but we'll talk about everything before we buy it. Deal?" Jarod asks and looks at Miss Parker and Lyle.
"Deal. But it is very annoying to be stuck here with you." Lyle says and sighs.
"Right back at you. This isn't a picnic for us either Lyle. It might have been better if you weren't here." Jarod says.
"Speak for yourself." Parker says angrily. 'Yes it would be better if Lyle wasn't here.' She thinks.
'Ouch that one actually hurt. Damn him. Damn Jarod for saying that.' Lyle thinks and looks hatefully at Jarod.
'Please Parker, just let me into your heart and let me get to know you all over again. I love you why can't you see that?' Jarod sighs quietly and looks at Parker.
Lyle turns his head towards Parker and sees the way she looks at Jarod. It looks as she's about to throw herself in his arms at any second, and Lyle knows only to well that Jarod will gladly catch her. He really hopes she won't do that because if she is then he would have to watch. He really doesn't care what they're doing when they're at home, but he does care what they're doing when he's stuck in the middle. He sighs quietly and looks at the chains around his wrists. He realizes that even if he did have a key he wouldn't get them off, because the keyholes are filled with led.
'I'm really not having the best day of my life. On the other hand it's way better then my childhood in that shed.' He thinks and shivers goes up his spine.
"Are you cold?" Miss Parker asks as she sees his shivers.
"What? Err. No, I'm. fine. just thinking. Err. yeah." Lyle says uncharacteristically.
"Thinking? About what?" Miss Parker asks worried that he might be thinking of her.
"Err. Nothing. nothing important. Why?" Lyle asks finally himself again.
"Just wondering." Miss Parker answers.
"Could you two stop bickering?" Jarod asks a bit impatient.
"Fine!" They say in unison. Miss Parker glares angrily at Jarod.
"Why? Are you in a hurry?" She growls.
"No. Oh my God! I totally forgot. How could I forget that? We have to leave. Now." He mumbles.
"What the hell are you talking about? We can't leave. We don't even now where the hell we are. And just what is it that you forgot?" Parker asks confused.
"I forgot about the rapist."
"What rapist?" Miss Parker asks and looks around worriedly.
"Not here. I'm talking about my pretend in New Orleans." Jarod explains.
"Oh. Wait, you were in New Orleans? And you didn't send a clue?" She asks confused.
"I didn't get a chance. I had some stuff left on that pretend. I just hope the police can find my notes." He says with a sad look on his face.
"A rapist huh?" Lyle says with a smile on his lips.
"You're disgusting." Jarod says with a disgusted look on his face.
"Thank you." He replies and bows.
"Cut it out brother dearest." Miss Parker says angrily.
"Sorry Parker, but this is who I am." Lyle says with a charming smile.
"And don't we know it." Jarod says under his breath.
"I heard that." Lyle says and looks at him.
"You were meant to." Jarod says and sighs.
"Anyway. Didn't Parker want to have fun?" Lyle asks to change the subject.
"Yeah."
"There's a Tivoli over there." Lyle says. Miss Parkers eyes lights up and she looks the way Lyle is pointing.
"Please Jarod can't we go to the Tivoli? Please?" She asks and looks at Jarod with pleading eyes.
"Alright Parker." Jarod says with a smile.
"Yes!" She exclaims and kisses him on the cheek.
"Parker. What are you doing?" Lyle asks surprised.
"Err. I have no idea. Why didn't you stop me from making a fool out of myself?" She says embarrassed.
"I don't know. Maybe because I enjoyed it?" Jarod answers.
"You ass. I don't want to go there anymore." Miss Parker says with a pout.
"Fine by me. I didn't want to go there in the first place." Jarod says with a smile.
"Get a grip." Lyle says with a sigh and receives an angry glare from Miss Parker.
"Shut up Lyle." She says angry.
"Why? So you two can continue your lovers tiff?" Lyle asks sarcastically.
"Shut the hell up zombie." Miss Parker growls.
"Zombie? How do you figure?" Lyle says confused.
"Well you are a living dead, aren't you?" She replies with a smile.
"Ha ha ha. Very funny I am so amused." Lyle says and throws her an angry glare.
"I'm glad someone is amused. Why don't we go eat? We need food." Jarod says and looks questioningly at Parker.
"Sure. What do we eat then?" She answers.
"I'm in the mood for Chinese." Lyle says and smiles.
"You know we're talking about food, not people." Jarod says with a disgusted look on his face.
"Yeah. Aren't you in the mood for Chinese?" The others nod.
"In that case, let's have Chinese-FOOD!" Every body agrees and goes to find a restaurant that serves Chinese-food.
IN THE RESTAURANT 40 MINUTES LATER
"This is actually pretty good." Jarod says with a satisfied look on his face.
"Told you it was." Lyle says with a grin.
"Oh god." Miss Parker says when she sees five men with weapons raised coming through the restaurants front door.
"What is it?" Lyle asks and as he looks at the door his eyes widens. Jarod sees the men and wonders what they should do to get all these people out of there.
"Does either of you have a gun?" He asks quietly.
"No. We have to get out of here." Miss Parker answers as Lyle reveals his empty holster.
"Everybody quiet. We want all of you to come up here one at a time and give us all your money. If all of you co-operate no one will be hurt." One of the men says and the others points their weapons in different directions.
"You start. NOW!" The man says and points at Lyle.
"Good fucking luck. You see we three have a little problem we're sort of stuck. So I was wondering if." Lyle tries to explain but the man interrupts him.
"SHUT UP AND GET UP HERE NOW!" He screams. Lyle looks angrily at the man. 'If I had my gun I'd kill him.' He thinks and starts to get to his feet.
"Don't move." The man says.
"How am I supposed to go up to you if I can't move?" Lyle asks annoyed.
"Be quiet Lyle. Just do as they say. Someone might get hurt." Jarod says with worry. Miss Parker rolls her eyes and looks at her brother.
"Just. be careful." She whispers. Lyle looks at her surprised when suddenly the man with the gun grabs him by the arm and hauls him to the floor Miss Parker and Jarod falls over the seat and falls to the floor as well.
"What the hell are you two doing? Get back in your seat." The man screams. Jarod shows the chains.
"We can't we're stuck with each other." He explains and looks at the man. The man starts to laugh.
"What is so goddamn funny Kev?" An other man says and looks at the laughing man.
"They are stuck. Okay sorry. Just give me your money and I'll let you two go." He says.
"Two?" Jarod says horrified.
"You and the lady may leave but this man here is truly annoying. And I want to have some fun with him." Kev says with a smug smile.
"I don't think you understand. We are all stuck. Even with him." Jarod replies and nods towards Lyle who looks absolutely terrified.
"Well then I guess I'll have fun with all of you then won't I?" Kev says still smiling. Miss Parker looks at him.
"I f you ever call me lady again I will make you regret it. And that's a promise." She growls.
"Really? I think I would enjoy that. And just one more thing, if you don't shut up I'll kill him." The man says and points a gun at Lyle.
"Err. May I ask a question?" Lyle asks.
"Sure. But if you are mean, I'll have more fun." Kev says smiling.
"Sure. Err. Do you think that you could just let us leave if we give you all our money?" Lyle asks carefully.
"I'll think about it." Kev says and turns to his friends.
"What do you say boys? Do you want to have some fun with them or should we let them go?" He asks. The other men starts chanting; Fun, fun, fun. Over and over again. Kev turns towards Lyle with a smile.
"Sorry man. They like you." He says as the rest of the men turns silent.
"Great. The only ones, who happen to like me, are criminals. And they could kill me with a twitch of a finger." Lyle says sarcastically.
"Aww. Don't feel so bad about it Lyle, we who don't like you could kill you to." Miss Parker says. She's not letting her nervousness shine through her Ice Queen mask.
"SHUT UP! YOU BITCH!" One of the men screams and shoves his gun in Lyle's ribs.
"Okay, calm down. She won't say another word." Jarod tries but the man just presses the gun harder against Lyle's ribs. Lyle hisses in pain.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" He screams.
"Lex. Relax you can't shoot him yet." Kev tries to reason with the man who appears to be a bit insane.
"He makes fun of me, I can hear him laughing. I can't take it."
"What? I haven't said a word." Lyle says surprised. Lex shoves the gun harder against his ribs and Lyle is starting to have trouble breathing from the pressure.
"DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO SHUT UP??" He screams.
"Calm down, Lex. You can't kill him yet, we agreed to share with the others remember?" Kev asks with a smile.
"Yeah, but tell him to stop laughing at me or I swear I'll kill him." Lex answers threatening and removes the gun.
"Thank God." Lyle whispers softly and Lex swirls around towards him again.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY??" He screams and Lyle looks at Jarod worried that that he would do something with that gun.
"I.I said." He starts but gets interrupted by Lex.
"I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID." He screams and kicks Lyle in the ribs. Lyle falls to a lying position on the floor trying to catch his breath.
"Lyle? Are you okay?" Miss Parker asks carefully and watches him worriedly. She turns her gaze towards Jarod and sees him looking just as worried as she feels.
"Lyle talk to us. Come on." Jarod says and knows that anything can happen to them now.

CHAPTER 1
Summary: What would Miss Parker, Lyle and Jarod do if they were chained together?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and I'm not getting paid for writing it.
A/N: Just so you know this isn't the same story as Miss P's Shackled. We kinda shared the idea and decided to write different fic's about it.
SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE IN A HOUSE IN THE WOODS 09.00
Lyle tries to roll to a more comfortable way to sleep, but something is locked to his arms. He wakes up and sees that he's still fully dressed and he has chains on both his arms.
"What the hell is going on here??" He asks out loud.
"Stop screaming I have a headache." He hears from above. That's when he realizes that he's lying on the floor. He gets to his feet and sees Miss Parker and Jarod in the bed. He then notices the chains around their wrists and realizes that for some reason Jarod was locked to his right side and Miss Parker to his left.
'Oh great, I hate being in the middle' He thinks and yanks at the chains to try and get them off, but they're too tight.
"Hey. Sis, Labrat get up." He says loudly. He hears a moan from Miss Parker and sees Jarod sitting up as stiff as a stick. Jarod carefully looks around and sees the chain around his left arm. He traces it with his eyes and understands that he's chained together with Lyle. He then sees the chain on Lyles left arm and sees that Lyle is chained to Miss Parker as well.
"What kind of sick game are you playing?" He growls.
"Believe it or not Jarod but I had nothing to do with this. I had no idea you were even here. Where are we anyway?" Lyle answers and tries to figure out where they are.
"I don't know what the hell is going on, but if someone doesn't get this fucking chain off me heads will roll around the floor." Miss Parker growls suddenly.
"Sorry sis. I don't have a key. All I know is that I went home to my bed to sleep last night, and I woke up with these around my wrists and I was for some reason lying on the floor in lord-knows-where with you two." Lyle says irritated.
"Okay, I believe you, for now. But if you ever take out a key to these cuffs from your pocket I'll kill you. Got it?" Miss Parker says threatingly and gets to her feet. She walks over to the bathroom, but has to stop as the two feet long chain straightens and the person on the other end stands still. She turns and stares at Lyle angrily.
"Get your ass over here now. I need to freshen up." She growls at him.
"Don't tell me. Tell him." Lyle says and points to Jarod who just stands staring out the window. Miss Parker sighs.
"Hey, Pezhead. Here." Jarod looks at her and starts to walk to her.
"What is it?" He asks suspiciously.
"I need to use the bathroom. So can you please figure out how the hell I'm supposed to do that if you're not cooperating?" Miss Parker asks sweetly. Jarod pretends to think about it for awhile.
"I guess. I don't know." He smiles.
"Just go to the fucking bathroom Parker." Lyle says impatiently. Miss Parker glares angrily at him then she turns around and closes the bathroom door as much as she can because of the chain.
A MINUTE LATER
"Lyle?" Jarod says carefully.
"Yeah, what?"
"You really don't know where we are?"
"No. Do you?"
"No. I was in New Orleans yesterday but it doesn't look anything like this. I mean there are trees everywhere." Jarod says confused.
"So I guess we're in Never, neverland then huh?" Miss Parker says as she walks out from the bathroom.
"Never, neverland? What is that?" Jarod asks confused.
"It's the place where Peter Pan and his friends live and flies around, oh and they never grow up." Lyle answers with a hint of longing in his voice.
"Err, you do know it's only fiction don't you??" Miss Parker says.
"Yes, of course I do." Lyle snaps seemingly irritated to have been snapped out of his dream world.
"So the people in this place can fly?" Jarod asks confused.
"Only the kids. It's this planet somewhere, and these lost kids fight the grown up pirates. And they are lead by Peter Pan and his little elf Tinkerbelle." Lyle answers.
"Am I the only grown-up here?" Miss Parker interrupts and receives angry glares from the other two.
"Fine I'll be quiet. But could we at least get away from the bathroom door?" She continues and the trio walks back over to the bed.
"They fight the grown ups?? But I thought you said they never grew up?" Jarod asks as they sit down.
"The grown ups were already grown up when they got there." Miss Parker answers impatiently. Lyle and Jarod stares at her surprised.
"What? I have been a kid once. It doesn't mean that I still am though."
"Fine. Let's start another subject. How the hell did we get here? Where is here? And how do we get away from here?" Lyle asks.
"Well to answer all of your questions with four words; I have no idea." Jarod answers.
"Yeah me neither." Miss Parker agrees.
"Well wasn't that a very giving discussion? Why don't we try to go out through the door?" Lyle says and looks questioningly at Miss Parker.
"Fine. Come on." She says with a sigh and the three of them goes to the door. Miss Parker turns the handle but the door won't budge.
"Here let me." Jarod says and turns the door inwards and it opens. He gives her a smug smile.
"You pushed the door the wrong way." He explains still smiling.
"Smartass. Let's go." She growls at him.
"Wait a minute. Are we just going out there with these chains on?" Lyle asks.
"Yeah, considering we can't get them off. What else do you suggest that we should do? Stay in here all day??" Miss Parker asks and looks angrily at her brother.
"No of course not. But people will think we're crazy." Lyle continues.
"People already think you are crazy, Lyle. Just feel at home." Jarod says with a smile.
"You little." Lyle starts but gets interrupted by Miss Parker.
"Stop fighting boys. Jeez, and stop trying to get yourself killed Jarod."
"Are you worried for my safety Parker??" Jarod taunts.
"No, but you should be. I'm just saying that if one of us dies the two others won't be able to get anywhere." She explains. She looks at Jarod and sees the look of disappointment written all over his face. She sighs deeply. She really hates to disappoint him.
"Let's just get the hell out of this room, allright?" She says impatiently.
"Sure why not." Jarod says and walks out the door dragging his feet behind him.
"After you dear brother." Miss Parker says. Lyle sighs and walks after Jarod. Miss Parker follows and closes the door.
MEANWHILE IN THE CENTRE
"Sydney!" A nervous little man is screaming as he sees the older man walk in to his office. Sydney turns around to face the other man.
"What is it Broots?"
"H.have you s.seen M...Miss P.P.Parker this morning?" Broots quickly asks.
"No. Why?" Sydney states as the two of them walks into his office.
"I got a clue on Jarod. He has p.pretended to be a teacher to stop a teenage g.girl rapist on a campus in N.New Orleans. I wanted to tell P.Parker but I can't get in touch with her. She hasn't got h.her cell phone on. S.so I thought that m.maybe I should tell M.Mr. Lyle but I couldn't f.find him either. D.do you think something bad happened to them?" Broots asks nervously.
Sydney starts to answer as the door suddenly opens and Mr Parker comes in.
"Where the hell is my daughter?" He screams.
"We were just wondering that ourselves Mr. Parker. It seems she hasn't appeared for work this morning, and apparently neither has your son." Sydney answers.
"What?! Lyle isn't here either? Find them. NOW!!" Mr. Parker screams and storms out of the office.
"Well I guess Jarod is on hold for now. Let's get to work." Sydney says and hears Broots sighing as he walks towards his hole.
TEN MINUTES LATER SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE
Miss Parker, Jarod and Lyle have managed to find a shop with people in it.
"Excuse me sir, could you please tell us where we are?" Jarod asks and hears Lyle and Miss Parker sighing.
"No. I'm afraid we are not allowed to." The man answers and turns to leave. But an arm on his shoulder stops him.
"And why the hell not?" Miss Parker says and spins the man around to face her.
"Because he told us not to." The man answers frightened by the looks of this woman and one of the men that apparently was stuck in the middle.
"Who the hell told you not to tell us what fucking spot on this earth we're at?" Lyle says angrily and the man starts to shiver in fear.
"I'm not allowed."
"Understand this you little shithead I don't care what you're not allowed to do. But if you don't tell us where we are and who put us here I am going to kill you, and I'm not kidding." Miss Parker growls in his ear.
"I.I."
"He's starting to sound like Broots." Lyle says with a laugh. And he receives an angry look from Miss Parker.
"Shut the fuck up you moron." She growls at him.
"Err."
"What is it Jarod?" She snaps.
"Your fighting subject just disappeared." He says with a little smile, thinking about how many times he himself managed to escape when the two twins starts fighting.
"Damn. It's your entire fault Lyle." Miss Parker screams.
"How is this my fault? You're the one who threatened him." Lyle tries to defend himself.
"So you're saying it's my fault?" She screams furious.
"No, I'm just saying it's not my fault. Could you just relax?" Lyle tries to calm her down.
"Next time we meet someone, can you two let me do all the talking?" Jarod asks impatiently.
"Why the hell should we?" Lyle asks and stares angrily at him.
"Because we want to get information not kill all the source it might come from." Jarod says in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Fine do what the hell you want. I don't care anymore. Just don't blame me when this source runs away." Miss Parker says angrily and starts to walk away when Lyle says something.
"What is it?" She says angrily.
"I said that you can't leave yet." He repeats.
"And why the hell not?" She asks and stares at him with angry eyes.
"Because RatBoy is apparently not finished with his questioning." Lyle answers and nods towards Jarod who's talking to an eye-catching woman. Miss Parker felt angrier than ever before. 'Why am I reacting like this? It's only Jarod. I hate him, don't I?' She thinks confused. She looks away from Jarod and catches the confused look on Lyles face.
"What?" She asks trying her Ice queen mode but can't do it completely.
"Oh my god, you're in love with him aren't you?" Lyle asks with a chocked look on his face.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She snaps angrily. But inside her inner sense screams: *YES! She is. She just doesn't know it yet.*
"Shut up!" Miss Parker screams loudly, Jarod turns to look at her.
"Err. You do know we didn't say anything Parker?" Lyle says confused.
"Go to hell." She screams and tries to run away from them, but the chain yanks her arm backwards making her and Lyle tumbling to the floor, Jarod manages to remain in a standing position.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Miss Parker screams at her brother.
"I didn't do anything Parker. You tried to run and dragged me down to the floor with you." Lyle answers with pain in his voice.
"Lyle what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Jarod asks with a hint of worry.
"I'm fine." Lyle answers and gets to his feet; he starts to feel dizzy and grabs the nearest thing for support. That just happened to be Jarod.
"Whoa calm down. I don't want to fall to." Jarod says a bit angry.
"Sorry I just got dizzy I'll be just fine in a second." Lyle answers but doesn't let go of Jarods shoulder.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Jarod asks worried.
"Yeah." Lyle says and manages to stand on his own.
"How do you know? Since when are you a doctor?" Miss Parker asks starting to worry as she sees him sway.
"Just leave me alone will you, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place." Lyle says angrily and grabs Jarods shoulder again.
"Calm down, both of you. Lyle I think we should get you to the hospital." Jarod says in a stern voice.
"Oh, really? And how do you suppose we explain the fact that we're stuck together when they ask you two to leave the room? 'Excuse me but could you two leave so we can examine the patient? No we can't. You see we woke up this morning with these chains around our wrists.' What do you suppose he says then huh?" Lyle says sarcastically.
"No of course not." Jarod says angry, but still realizes the fact that Lyle has a point.
"Why don't you just check him out Wonder boy? You are the best doctor in the world." Miss Parker states.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Jarod asks and smiles at Miss Parker.
"Why don't you just sit down over here?" Jarod asks. Lyle nods and the three of them walks towards the bench and Lyle sits down with Parker next to him.
"Try to follow my finger with your eyes." Jarod says and looks at Lyle and as Lyle does as directed.
"Is he alright?" Miss Parker asks as Jarod seems to be finished.
"He will be alright if we stay here for awhile." Jarod answers.
"I told you I would be fine didn't I?" Lyle says with a small smile.
"Well you sure as hell didn't look alright to me." Miss Parker says sadly.
"Well I am now aren't I?" Lyle says impatiently and starts to get up, but Miss Parker holds a firm grip on his arm.
"Could you let go?" He asks and looks irritated at her.
"No, Jarod told you that we should stay here for awhile." She says and looks at Jarod for help.
"Sorry Lyle, she's right. I told you that we have to stay here." Jarod says and gives Lyle an apologetic smile.
"Fine! I'll stay. For how long?" Lyle whines at them.
"Just an hour. Why?" Jarod says as Miss Parker fights to hold back a giggle.
"I'm bored." Lyle says and Miss Parker can't hold her giggles anymore.
"What the hell is so funny?" Lyle asks irritated as he looks at her with angry eyes.
"We've just been here a few minutes and you're already bored?" Jarod asks and looks at the fighting twins.
"Yeah. Why, isn't that allowed?" Lyle asks and turns his angry eyes towards Jarod.
"Yeah that's okay. I was just asking."
"I'm sorry, Lyle. I just got a laughing fit. It wasn't about you. I'm sorry." Miss Parker says through her laughing fit.
AN HOUR LATER SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, ON A BENCH OUTSIDE A STORE
Lyle, Miss Parker and Jarod are just about to get up from the bench.
"So where exactly are we going? Are we still going to try and find someone who can tell us where we are?" Miss Parker asks Jarod and yawns.
"Yes I guess so. Why Miss Parker are you tired?" He says with a smile. Lyle is just shaking his head.
"Not really. But I want to do something funny." She says with a whimper.
"Oh really?" Jarod says with a big smile.
"Not that kind of fun. We're stuck with my brother, remember?" Miss Parker says a bit irritated.
"Do any of you have money? I'm starving." Jarod stops the conversation. Lyle and Miss Parker starts to go through their pockets.
"Yeah, I have a thousand dollars. Weird. I wonder where those came from?" Lyle answers as he brings up a few hundred dollar bills.
"I have a thousand dollars to." Miss Parker says equally surprised.
"Hmm. Me to. If we put our money together we'll have three thousand dollars." Jarod says.
"No kidding. You don't have to be a genius to figure that out." Lyle says sarcastically.
"Be nice. We should decide who should take care of our money." Jarod says a bit irritated and looks at Miss Parker.
"Can't we just take care of our own money? I mean it isn't like we could buy anything without the others notice anyway." Miss Parker says and gives Jarod a questioning look.
"Good point. Okay but we'll talk about everything before we buy it. Deal?" Jarod asks and looks at Miss Parker and Lyle.
"Deal. But it is very annoying to be stuck here with you." Lyle says and sighs.
"Right back at you. This isn't a picnic for us either Lyle. It might have been better if you weren't here." Jarod says.
"Speak for yourself." Parker says angrily. 'Yes it would be better if Lyle wasn't here.' She thinks.
'Ouch that one actually hurt. Damn him. Damn Jarod for saying that.' Lyle thinks and looks hatefully at Jarod.
'Please Parker, just let me into your heart and let me get to know you all over again. I love you why can't you see that?' Jarod sighs quietly and looks at Parker.
Lyle turns his head towards Parker and sees the way she looks at Jarod. It looks as she's about to throw herself in his arms at any second, and Lyle knows only to well that Jarod will gladly catch her. He really hopes she won't do that because if she is then he would have to watch. He really doesn't care what they're doing when they're at home, but he does care what they're doing when he's stuck in the middle. He sighs quietly and looks at the chains around his wrists. He realizes that even if he did have a key he wouldn't get them off, because the keyholes are filled with led.
'I'm really not having the best day of my life. On the other hand it's way better then my childhood in that shed.' He thinks and shivers goes up his spine.
"Are you cold?" Miss Parker asks as she sees his shivers.
"What? Err. No, I'm. fine. just thinking. Err. yeah." Lyle says uncharacteristically.
"Thinking? About what?" Miss Parker asks worried that he might be thinking of her.
"Err. Nothing. nothing important. Why?" Lyle asks finally himself again.
"Just wondering." Miss Parker answers.
"Could you two stop bickering?" Jarod asks a bit impatient.
"Fine!" They say in unison. Miss Parker glares angrily at Jarod.
"Why? Are you in a hurry?" She growls.
"No. Oh my God! I totally forgot. How could I forget that? We have to leave. Now." He mumbles.
"What the hell are you talking about? We can't leave. We don't even now where the hell we are. And just what is it that you forgot?" Parker asks confused.
"I forgot about the rapist."
"What rapist?" Miss Parker asks and looks around worriedly.
"Not here. I'm talking about my pretend in New Orleans." Jarod explains.
"Oh. Wait, you were in New Orleans? And you didn't send a clue?" She asks confused.
"I didn't get a chance. I had some stuff left on that pretend. I just hope the police can find my notes." He says with a sad look on his face.
"A rapist huh?" Lyle says with a smile on his lips.
"You're disgusting." Jarod says with a disgusted look on his face.
"Thank you." He replies and bows.
"Cut it out brother dearest." Miss Parker says angrily.
"Sorry Parker, but this is who I am." Lyle says with a charming smile.
"And don't we know it." Jarod says under his breath.
"I heard that." Lyle says and looks at him.
"You were meant to." Jarod says and sighs.
"Anyway. Didn't Parker want to have fun?" Lyle asks to change the subject.
"Yeah."
"There's a Tivoli over there." Lyle says. Miss Parkers eyes lights up and she looks the way Lyle is pointing.
"Please Jarod can't we go to the Tivoli? Please?" She asks and looks at Jarod with pleading eyes.
"Alright Parker." Jarod says with a smile.
"Yes!" She exclaims and kisses him on the cheek.
"Parker. What are you doing?" Lyle asks surprised.
"Err. I have no idea. Why didn't you stop me from making a fool out of myself?" She says embarrassed.
"I don't know. Maybe because I enjoyed it?" Jarod answers.
"You ass. I don't want to go there anymore." Miss Parker says with a pout.
"Fine by me. I didn't want to go there in the first place." Jarod says with a smile.
"Get a grip." Lyle says with a sigh and receives an angry glare from Miss Parker.
"Shut up Lyle." She says angry.
"Why? So you two can continue your lovers tiff?" Lyle asks sarcastically.
"Shut the hell up zombie." Miss Parker growls.
"Zombie? How do you figure?" Lyle says confused.
"Well you are a living dead, aren't you?" She replies with a smile.
"Ha ha ha. Very funny I am so amused." Lyle says and throws her an angry glare.
"I'm glad someone is amused. Why don't we go eat? We need food." Jarod says and looks questioningly at Parker.
"Sure. What do we eat then?" She answers.
"I'm in the mood for Chinese." Lyle says and smiles.
"You know we're talking about food, not people." Jarod says with a disgusted look on his face.
"Yeah. Aren't you in the mood for Chinese?" The others nod.
"In that case, let's have Chinese-FOOD!" Every body agrees and goes to find a restaurant that serves Chinese-food.
IN THE RESTAURANT 40 MINUTES LATER
"This is actually pretty good." Jarod says with a satisfied look on his face.
"Told you it was." Lyle says with a grin.
"Oh god." Miss Parker says when she sees five men with weapons raised coming through the restaurants front door.
"What is it?" Lyle asks and as he looks at the door his eyes widens. Jarod sees the men and wonders what they should do to get all these people out of there.
"Does either of you have a gun?" He asks quietly.
"No. We have to get out of here." Miss Parker answers as Lyle reveals his empty holster.
"Everybody quiet. We want all of you to come up here one at a time and give us all your money. If all of you co-operate no one will be hurt." One of the men says and the others points their weapons in different directions.
"You start. NOW!" The man says and points at Lyle.
"Good fucking luck. You see we three have a little problem we're sort of stuck. So I was wondering if." Lyle tries to explain but the man interrupts him.
"SHUT UP AND GET UP HERE NOW!" He screams. Lyle looks angrily at the man. 'If I had my gun I'd kill him.' He thinks and starts to get to his feet.
"Don't move." The man says.
"How am I supposed to go up to you if I can't move?" Lyle asks annoyed.
"Be quiet Lyle. Just do as they say. Someone might get hurt." Jarod says with worry. Miss Parker rolls her eyes and looks at her brother.
"Just. be careful." She whispers. Lyle looks at her surprised when suddenly the man with the gun grabs him by the arm and hauls him to the floor Miss Parker and Jarod falls over the seat and falls to the floor as well.
"What the hell are you two doing? Get back in your seat." The man screams. Jarod shows the chains.
"We can't we're stuck with each other." He explains and looks at the man. The man starts to laugh.
"What is so goddamn funny Kev?" An other man says and looks at the laughing man.
"They are stuck. Okay sorry. Just give me your money and I'll let you two go." He says.
"Two?" Jarod says horrified.
"You and the lady may leave but this man here is truly annoying. And I want to have some fun with him." Kev says with a smug smile.
"I don't think you understand. We are all stuck. Even with him." Jarod replies and nods towards Lyle who looks absolutely terrified.
"Well then I guess I'll have fun with all of you then won't I?" Kev says still smiling. Miss Parker looks at him.
"I f you ever call me lady again I will make you regret it. And that's a promise." She growls.
"Really? I think I would enjoy that. And just one more thing, if you don't shut up I'll kill him." The man says and points a gun at Lyle.
"Err. May I ask a question?" Lyle asks.
"Sure. But if you are mean, I'll have more fun." Kev says smiling.
"Sure. Err. Do you think that you could just let us leave if we give you all our money?" Lyle asks carefully.
"I'll think about it." Kev says and turns to his friends.
"What do you say boys? Do you want to have some fun with them or should we let them go?" He asks. The other men starts chanting; Fun, fun, fun. Over and over again. Kev turns towards Lyle with a smile.
"Sorry man. They like you." He says as the rest of the men turns silent.
"Great. The only ones, who happen to like me, are criminals. And they could kill me with a twitch of a finger." Lyle says sarcastically.
"Aww. Don't feel so bad about it Lyle, we who don't like you could kill you to." Miss Parker says. She's not letting her nervousness shine through her Ice Queen mask.
"SHUT UP! YOU BITCH!" One of the men screams and shoves his gun in Lyle's ribs.
"Okay, calm down. She won't say another word." Jarod tries but the man just presses the gun harder against Lyle's ribs. Lyle hisses in pain.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" He screams.
"Lex. Relax you can't shoot him yet." Kev tries to reason with the man who appears to be a bit insane.
"He makes fun of me, I can hear him laughing. I can't take it."
"What? I haven't said a word." Lyle says surprised. Lex shoves the gun harder against his ribs and Lyle is starting to have trouble breathing from the pressure.
"DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO SHUT UP??" He screams.
"Calm down, Lex. You can't kill him yet, we agreed to share with the others remember?" Kev asks with a smile.
"Yeah, but tell him to stop laughing at me or I swear I'll kill him." Lex answers threatening and removes the gun.
"Thank God." Lyle whispers softly and Lex swirls around towards him again.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY??" He screams and Lyle looks at Jarod worried that that he would do something with that gun.
"I.I said." He starts but gets interrupted by Lex.
"I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID." He screams and kicks Lyle in the ribs. Lyle falls to a lying position on the floor trying to catch his breath.
"Lyle? Are you okay?" Miss Parker asks carefully and watches him worriedly. She turns her gaze towards Jarod and sees him looking just as worried as she feels.
"Lyle talk to us. Come on." Jarod says and knows that anything can happen to them now.
TO BE CONTINUED
