The Jenny Lewis Chronicles

Episode 3

Chapter 2

Mike Bolton sat at the kitchen table looking over the medical records of a golden retriever, although his thoughts were mainly on his daughter, Tracy. Since his divorce, Tracy had largely become quite withdrawn and silent. Thankfully though, following her meeting of their new neighbour, Jenny Lewis, she was now returning to her previous self. However, she was still quite secretive about what she got up to with Jenny and that boy, Harry. All the same, Mike didn't like to be nosy and he decided that for the time being at least, he would keep his inquiries to himself.

Just then, Tracy came downstairs, fully dressed.

"Are you going out then?" asked Mike.

"Yeah, I'm going over the road to see Jenny" replied Tracy.

"Oh yeah" said Mike, "I don't know, I reckon you must spend more time over there than you do here. Trying to forget about me are you?"

"Oh shut up Dad" giggled Tracy as she left.

As Tracy crossed over the road, she began to have thoughts about her dad, and about what she did. It was quite dangerous, fighting raptors, running from giant snakes. But then again, Jenny had told her that no matter what, she was never to tell anyone about what they did with the anomalies,and that when she was on the anomaly team, they were never allowed to tell anyone outside of the team what they did, not even family. So because Tracy was a law abiding citizen, she had not and would not tell her dad about this.

As she entered Jenny's driveway, she saw her and Harry exiting the house.

"Oh, hi Tracy" they said in unison.

"Hi, so anything up today?" asked Tracy.

"Yes" said Jenny, "There's a new anomaly down at the park, if you'd like to come."

Tracy smiled and nodded. Jenny pointed up at the darkening sky.

"You might want to pack an umbrella, though."
