Chapter 11
They walked to the Park's control room. The floors were metallic and futuristic holographic computers lined the walls. Each one controlling a specific ride or the whole park as one. Engineers and technicians raced back and forth trying to fix all the rides malfunctions. But it was no use, the breaks and everything else about the rides had clutched or loosened leaving it impossible to stop any of them. Security footage showed a blue spark moving quickly from one ride to the next seeming to drain the energy from each ride.
A man in a white shirt with a blue tie sat in one of the chairs. He clutched a foam cup filled half way with coffee. His black hair was matted and wild due to continuously running his fingers through his hair. He let out a big breath feeling defeat creeping up on him.
"Excuse me sir," a young feminine voice asked, "are you in charge here?"
The man turned around and spotted a young blonde girl, her hair was the lightest of blondes and her eyes were the darkest of blues. Her skin was almost porcelain. His mouth dropped and she grinned. He stumbled out of his chair and held out his hand.
"Hi, Jeff Wilson," he stumbled out, "how may I help you?"
The girl took his hand and shook.
"Jenny," she responded, "I need to ask you a few questions. My Dad and Mum will be here soon. There just taking care of my brother right now. It was a bit shocking for him out in the park."
Jeff nodded his head and smiled trying to put on his best charm.
"Well since they're not here yet and we're alone maybe we should start talking," Jeff ran his fingers through his hair and continued, "I can answer any questions you have."
Jenny looked at him and rolled her eyes. She had caught the undertone of flirting in his voice. Even though it was badly played out, she giggled at his antics.
"I think we can wait. My Father has most of the questions anyways. Mainly concerning the blue energy."
"Blue energy," Jeff knowingly stated.
Jenny quirked her eyebrow.
"You know of it?"
Jeff nodded his head. He pulled at his collar with his middle finger and gulped.
"Yeah I know of it. It's been giving me problems for weeks. I had talked to Mr. Jenkins about it but he believed it was harmless," Jeff scoffed, "He can eat his words now."
"Yes, he can," a male voice answered back.
"Oh, Hi, Dad," Jenny responded.
Jeff turned around to the sight of a tall, handsome man with a wild mane of brown hair and wide brown eyes. He wore a long brown trench coat with a brown pinstripe suit and white sneakers. He carried a young boy in his arms and a red-headed woman entered behind him.
"Hello," he said, a friendly smile crossing his face, "I'm the Doctor."
Jeff walked over and shook the man's hand.
"Jeff," he stated simply.
"Jaime," the little boy, who was in the Doctor's arms, said.
He looked pale and extremely tired.
The redheaded woman walked over and smiled warmly.
"Donna. I'm Jenny's mother."
Jeff shook her hand.
The Doctor handed Jaime over to Donna and clapped his hands.
"Well, Jeff, I couldn't help but overhear that the blue energy has given you trouble before all of this because Mr. Jenkins was pretty animate that there was no problem until now."
Jeff scoffed and scratched his stubbly chin, "Mr. Jenkins doesn't know anything. I have come to him,countless times,explaining to him the blue energy is dangerous. It has broken down kitchen appliances and electronic games even some of our computers. But the stubborn man refused to shut down, said the problem would go away. But guess what!" he exasperatedly stated, "The problem hasn't gone away its ] worst."
"What do you believe it is Jeff," the Doctor curiously asked.
"Me, I think its alive. I think its trying to survive," Jeff responded.
The Doctor smiled exuberantly.
"You are an extremely brilliant man, Jeff, because I believe the same thing too."
"I believe it might be trying to survive and it's not acting out maliciously because the patterns I've seen it isn't choosing specific rides or attractions, its going for all of them. If it had a hidden agenda it wouldn't be quite so random."
"My thoughts exactly," the Doctor agreed, "I want to find it, try to speak with it, see if we can come to an agreement."
"I don't want you to kill it," Jeff stated, "If it is a living creature, it deserves a chance to survive regardless of everything its done."
The Doctor patted Jeff on the shoulder.
"I like you Jeff. You're sensible," the Doctor stated, he clapped his hands and turned to his family, "Jeff can you take us where you first saw it or normally see it. That would be wonderful. That way I can find out what it is. See how I can help it."
"Ya, sure," Jeff said, "It was in the electrical room, where the power mainframe for the park is. I can take you there if you want. It might still be there actually since it seemed to of slowed down for the time being. George saw it last time, he was down there."
Jeff walked towards the door.
"Are you coming?" he asked.
The Family smiled and nodded their heads. Finally they were getting somewhere. They followed Jeff to the electrical room.
