Deal with the Devil Part 1
We continue our story shortly before we left off.
Eric asked "Do we have a deal?"
Glenn responded "Listen I hate you Eric Raymond, I hope you rot in hell one day, how dare you use my love for my sister in such a way, but as long as you give me back my locket, you have yourself a deal."
"Excellent" Eric said.
Glenn said "In exchange for my locket, I will deliver to you Jem's identity."
"I knew you would make the right decision pal, you have 72 hours to get me Jem's true name or else I will melt down your locket" Eric said.
"Okay Eric 72 hours" Glenn responded.
Eric than smiled put out his hand and said "To our partnership"
Glenn just walked past him "I am not shaking your hand, and I am not your partner or pal, I will get you the information you want, nothing better happen to my locket in that time."
Glenn got in his car and went home, leaving Eric alone in the parking lot.
"So it is true" a voice from behind Eric said.
"Pizzazz you shouldn't sneak up people" Eric said.
"I told you not to go there, and then you go and take Glenn's locket" Pizzazz said. "I know how much that means to him that has nothing to do with your feud with him."
"I am just borrowing it" Eric said. "He will get it back, once I find out who Jem is."
"And how is he going to find that out?" Pizzazz said. "I heard what you told him, use his charm and by any means necessary, you know how Glenn finds out information, especially from women."
"Yes I know he flirts with them that is how he always gets into my office when I instruct my secretary to keep him out of my office" Eric said.
"Knowing how much that locket means to him, and how hard pink haired guards her secret identity, I can only imagine how far he will go and will have to go to get that information" Pizzazz said.
Pizzazz than imagined, Glenn and Jem in bed without any clothes on but covered by bed sheets, Glenn saying as he smokes a cigarette "So that's your real name."
"Glenn doesn't smoke" Pizzazz says before continuing her conversation with Eric, "that is a horrible image, and it is all your fault Eric."
"Calm down Pizzazz, once Jem and her friends find out that Glenn betrayed them, they will want nothing to do with him, and Glenn will have nowhere else to go, and be all yours Pizzazz, Glenn will have his locket back, and we will know Jem's true identity, which is something you always wanted to know too Pizzazz" Eric said.
"I used to want to know, but I don't care about that anymore" Pizzazz said.
"But you still care about Glenn and when this is all over, he will be all yours and I will keep my promise and give him back his locket, we all win Pizzazz. You, me, and Glenn" Eric responded. "Just trust me."
"Trust you Eric" Pizzazz says "now that is a joke, but I guess I have no choice."
"Good that is what I want to hear" Eric said.
The next day at the Starlight mansion, Jerrica was working on tour arrangement for Jem and the Holograms in her study when the phone rang.
She answered the phone and said "hello this is Jerrica Benton can I help you?"
"Hello Miss Benton this is Glenn Danson and I would like to ask a favor from your group."
"Oh hi Glenn, please call me Jerrica and what favor would that be?"
"Since we have our alliance I would like to spend the day with the Holograms, and get to know them better" Glenn said.
"That's sweat that is okay with me if it is okay with them, what day do you have in mind?" Jerrica asked.
"How about tomorrow" Glenn responded.
"Let me run it by them if you can hold on for a moment."
"Sure" Glenn said.
Jerrica went to the living room to talk to the Holograms who there just talking to one another, "Hey girls" Jerrica said "you have any plans for tomorrow?"
They all said they didn't, "why do ask" Aja said.
"Come with me and I'll show you" Jerrica said taking the Holograms to her study, when they arrived Jerrica put her phone on speaker.
"Okay I have all the Holograms here, I am putting you on speaker, why don't you ask them yourself" Jerrica said.
"Oh okay" Glenn said "hello Holograms."
The Holograms all said "hi Glenn."
"So I see you remember me" Glenn said "anyway since we have agreed to an alliance against Eric Raymond, I think we all should get to know each other better, and what better way than spent the day together, I would like to invite you to my house tomorrow morning, and then we can go out and spent the day together, I will take you anywhere you want."
"That sounds nice" Aja said.
"That makes sense" Shana said.
"Well girls what do you say?" Glenn asked.
Jerrica and the Holograms all huddled together, and after the conference was over, Kimber spoke up for the group, "Well Glenn we talked and we think that sounds like an outrageous day, so the answer is yes."
"That is great news, I promise we will have a great time" Glenn said.
"I am sure Jem would agree to your invitation as well" Kimber said.
"Hold on" Glenn said "This is just for the Holograms" Glenn said.
"Why just us" Shana asked.
"I want to get to know you girls, nothing against Jem but perhaps some other time." Glenn said.
"Okay if that is what you want" Kimber said.
"Good I will see you tomorrow at 9 am" Glenn said.
"Okay" all of the Holograms said.
"Bye" Glenn said as he hung up the phone.
"I wonder why he just wants to spent the days with us, and not invite Jem" Aja asked.
"Maybe he is sick of the media linking them together" Kimber said.
Glenn made another phone call, the person he called was Eric Raymond who answered the phone and said "Hello Raymond speaking"
"Oh right the arrangement for plan A is done" Glenn said.
"Good to hear" Eric said.
"Tomorrow I will try to get as much information as I can from Jem's friends." Glenn said "though I feel terrible using them like this."
"Are you having second thoughts" Eric said "don't forget this is for your sister."
"I haven't forgotten I will get you Jem's identity" Glenn said.
"Good let me know when you do. I will talk to you tomorrow and check on your progress, good bye" Eric said as hung up the phone.
"Yah good bye you piece of scum" Glenn said "who am I kidding I am just as big of scum as you are Raymond, but I have no choice I will get you Jem's identity and once I get my locket back, I am going to kill you Eric, how dare you use Karen like that."
The next day 9 am the Holograms arrive at Glenn Danson's home, he comes outside of his house to greet them.
"Must be my lucky day, I get to spent the day with 4 beautiful women" Glenn said.
"Thank you Glenn" Kimber said blushing.
"How are you all today?" Glenn asked.
"We are doing fine" Aja said.
"Good to hear" Glenn said.
"Glenn how come you are not wearing that locket of yours" Kimber asked.
"None of your business" Glenn yelled, he quickly realized his error in manners "I am sorry, I mean I decided not to wear it today."
"Okay" Kimber responded.
"For this occasion I rented out a van" Glenn said pointing to a van parked outside his driveway. "I am sorry it is not as high class as you are used to, but with what happened to the Tinsel Town club I am…"
"You don't have to say it" Shanna said "besides we are not as spoiled as you think we are."
"Good I will take you all to places each individual wants to go" Glenn said "so any volunteers?"
The Holograms just stood there for a moment, as none of them wanted to volunteer right away, but finally Aja put her hand up.
"Okay I volunteer to go first" she said.
"Okay where do you want to go?" Glenn asked.
"I want to go to the music instrument shop and see what they got" Aja said.
"Your wish is my command" Glenn said bowing to Aja. Glenn and the Holograms got in the van and drove off to the music instrument shop.
Glenn and the Holograms arrived at the music instrument shop, Shana, Kimber, and Raya looked around the shop, while Aja talked to the shop owner and asked him about the latest guitars, while the other Holograms looked around the store, after Aja was done talking to the shop owner Glenn decided to engage her in a conversation.
"So I see you know the shop owner" Glenn said.
"Yes so what business is it of yours?" Aja responded.
"I am just asking, the whole point of today is for me to get to know you better" Glenn responded.
"That is what puzzles me, why do you want to get know us better?" Aja asked.
"I just think we can be friends, but I see you are the protective one of the group" Glenn said.
"Yes I guess that is true, Shana and I lost our families when we were very young, we were adopted by the Benton family, and the Holograms they are my family, and I guess I am just protective of my sisters." Aja said. "Jerrica is often busy and even so a bit naive, so I guess I feel the role of the pessimist protective Hologram."
"You say you and Shana were orphans, is Jem an orphan?" Glenn asked.
"I am sorry I can't answer that" Aja said "any questions about Jem you have to ask her yourself, she chooses to keep things about herself private."
"Okay I respect that" Glenn said "but this conversation was most informative."
The next stop was the department store, Shana wanted to go shopping and look at some designs for the Holograms, as the other Holograms where looking at things that caught their eyes weather being an outfit, dress, or shoes, Shana was looking at a bunch of dresses, Glenn decided to engage her in a conversation.
"So having trouble decided which outfit you like?" Glenn said.
"Actually I am interested in all of them" Shana said "I think I will take the color of this dress, and with the lining of this dress, and create an outrageous design."
"So you are the stylist of the group" Glenn said.
"I guess you can say that, I am also the one the others go to for advice."
"Really I thought Jem would be the one whose wisdom you all most rely on" Glenn said.
"Jem is the face of our band, and she often has her problems to deal with, Aja is stubborn as mule, Kimber is the youngest of our groups, and Raya is new to the group, so that leaves me" Shana responded.
"Even Jem ask for your advice" Glenn asked.
"Yes even Jem"
"Tell me what kind of advice does Jem need, does she come to you for family advice, does Jem have any family besides you girls?" Glenn asked.
"Well I am not at liberty to say, that type of question you need to ask Jem" Shana said.
"I understand my apologies."
"That is okay, I hope we aren't boring you."
"No not at all, believe it or not, I have learned a lot about you, and it was most informative" Glenn said.
The next stop was Kimber's choice the amusement park called Six Flags, upon entering they looked at the rides and games available, one ride caught Kimber's attention.
"Look it's the scream machine" Kimber said pointing at a rollercoaster "we should go on that, it looks like fun."
"You are right that does look like fun" Glenn said.
"Count me out" Shana said.
"Me too I am not fool" Aja said.
"It is too dangerous" Raya said.
"It is no fun without you guy" Kimber said.
Glenn pulled Kimber aside and said "I have an idea if they are anything like my Misfits they should, well just watch."
"They are right" Glenn said "it is a scary ride, I have been here a few times with the Misfits and they were intimidated as well, but they overcame their fears and had fun, but not everyone has the same bravery of others."
"What did you say?" Shana said.
"Are you saying we are not as brave as your precious Misfits" Aja said "I'll show you all, I am going."
"Me too" Shana said.
"Me three" Raya said.
Glenn thought to himself 'just as I thought, they are as competitive as the Misfits.'
They all got on the rollercoaster ride, and after the ride they were all dizzy, but still they all had fun.
"That was fun but I need a rest" Shana said.
"It was fun but I am not going on that ride again for a year" Aja said.
"I am with you guy" Raya said.
"That was fun I am going to go again" Kimber said.
"Sounds like fun I'll join you" Glenn said.
As the day continued, Glenn and the Holograms played many of the park's games and rode many of the parks rides. While the other Holograms were elsewhere in the amusement park, Glenn and Kimber were walking around the amusement park Glenn took this opportunity to engage Kimber in a conversation.
"So you are having fun?" Glenn asked.
"Yes I am thanks for taking us" Kimber said.
"No problem is Jem as wild as you are Kimber?" Glenn asked.
"I don't know never thought of that" Kimber said "but she much more adaptive to doing spontaneous crazy things than she lets on."
"I am sure she is quite the party lady, and probably have some legendary birthday parties" Glenn said.
"You could say that" Kimber said.
"When is her birthday by the way" Glenn asked.
"I can't tell you that anything you want to know about Jem you have to ask her yourself" Kimber said "she is very particular of what people know about her."
"I understand anyway enough about Jem, I noticed you are the spontaneous wild one of the group" Glenn said.
"I guess I am" Kimber said "must be because I am the youngest."
Glenn started to laugh, "What's so funny?" Kimber asked.
"It is nothing, it is just that at times I think you are more like a Misfit than a Hologram" Glenn said.
"What do you mean by that?" Kimber said looking offended by that comment.
"There is nothing wrong with that, besides you are not alone" Glenn said "at times I feel the same way about Mary when it comes to the Holograms."
"Who's Mary?" Kimber asked.
"You know her better as Stormer" Glenn said. "She has some of the qualities that your girls have an inner kindness and be a good friend, and after getting to know you today, I have found that you have some of the qualities that the Misfits have spontaneity and love for fun."
"I agree with you about Stormer you know she almost joined our band" Kimber said.
"Well in my opinion, you two could switch bands and not miss a beat" Glenn said.
"By the way how is Stormer?" Kimber asked.
"She is doing fine, she actually become more assertive" Glenn said "I think you had a lot to do with that."
"I did?" Kimber asked.
"Yes you did, thank you very much for being there when she needed a friend like you" Glenn said.
Kimber blushed at the comment and said "well tell her thank you for being there for me, when I need a friend like her the next time you see her."
"Okay I will."
"By the way I know it was her" Kimber said.
"What do you mean?" Glenn asked.
"You know anonymous source" Kimber said "who else would it be, don't worry I won't tell anybody, besides I figured that out by myself, so it is not like you went back on your word."
"You are wiser than you let on" Glenn said "by the way I am sorry for snapping at you earlier."
"That is okay you probably was just nervous and over reacted" Kimber said.
The two of them continued to walk when Glenn noticed some people were just besides them, it was Stormer, Roxy, and Jetta, he looked at them Roxy and Jetta backs were to him, but Stormer saw him, Glenn quickly turned around and told Kimber "I think it is time we go, let's go find the others and get going."
"Why the sudden urgency to leave" Kimber asked.
Glenn ignored her question, grabbed her arm and started to walk faster trying to find the other Holograms.
"Stormer what is it?" Roxy asked.
"Nothing lets go this way" Stormer said pointing towards the north area of the amusement park.
"That dam Pizzazz ditching us again" Roxy said.
"Well she said she had something she had to do on her own" Stormer said.
"Still I wish she would stop being so distant from us, we are supposed to be friends" Roxy said.
Glenn franticly searched for Shana, Aja, and Raya, he had to find them before they bumped into the Misfits, Glenn knew if the Holograms and Misfits saw each other, there is no telling what would happen, the last thing Glenn needed was another Hologram / Misfit battle to break out. He saw Aja and Raya on the line for the ferries wheel, he grabbed them.
"What gives?" Aja asked.
"Sorry but it is time to go, where is Shanna?" Glenn said.
"Last I saw was at the games stands" Aja said.
"Wait here" Glenn said "I'll find her."
Glenn ran as fast as he could to the gaming area, he saw Shanna playing a game of knock the barrel, "Shanna is time to go"
"Okay" Shanna said.
Glenn than noticed not far from them was Roxy, from what I heard Glenn knew there was a personal rivalry between Shanna and Roxy, he couldn't let those two see each other. Luckily for Glenn he saw one of the amusement park employees dropped a flair gun, Glenn took the gun and fired it in the air, which caused the area to be covered with smoke. Glenn took Shanna to where the other Holograms were they then took off out of the amusement park as fast as Glenn could make them. Glenn had survived a near disaster.
The next stop was the park since Raya wanted to go on a picnic, Raya brought some food with her that she and her family made, they spent the rest of the day resting in the park, after what happened at the amusement park they all needed the rest. As the other Holograms went to look around the park, Raya and Glenn were left alone which gave Glenn an opportunity to talk to the final Hologram alone.
"So you are the newest Hologram" Glenn said.
"Yeah but lucky for me the other girls have treated me great and made this life changing transition as easy as possible. I don't know what I would do without them" Raya said.
"Even Jem" Glenn asked.
"Especially Jem" Raya said.
"I see speaking of Jem, is Jem her first name? Glenn asked.
"I am sorry I can't answer that, you have to ask Jem" Raya responded.
"Of course I do" Glenn said now clearly frustrated he haven't found out a dam thing about Jem. "Raya unlike the other Holograms you still have your family around, do you ever feel left out or not as close to the other Holograms because you are not an orphan like they are?"
"Well sometimes I feel like there is a part of them, I will never relate to." Raya said. "But they have done their best to make me feel part of their family."
"I see" Glenn said "if you excuse me I need to take a brief walk."
Glenn went for a short walk and started to think to himself, 'I haven't found out a thing about Jem today, I didn't expect to find out her true identity as I thought they are too loyal to tell me anything significant, I have to go to plan B and find a way to find out Jem's identity from Jem herself. As far as my mission of finding out Jem's true identity, this day has been a complete failure, yet I feel enrichment getting to know these women. They are not at all what I expected, I actually had fun, sure they have their differences in ways they do things, but they are not that different from the Misfits, it is a shame they all can't be friends, if they ever gave each other a chance, they could be friends. Well Kimber and Stormer are friends; maybe there is hope for all of them regardless they will hate me if I succeed in my mission. But part of me is glad I didn't find out anything, knowing what loyal friends they are, that brings a smile to me. Holograms you fully have my respect.'
The twilight had come it was time to go home. "Okay ladies time to go" Glenn said. "Before we go I just want to say I had a much better time than I thought I would, and I hope you enjoyed yourselves. And I got to know each of you better, and no matter what happens later, know that I sincerely enjoyed your company, as hard as you might not want to believe in the future."
"I don't know what you mean by that last statement" Aja said "but I had a great time."
"Me too I am glad we came" Shana said.
"Yeah it was real nice of you" Raya said.
"All I have to say, it was truly an outrageous day thank you Glenn" Kimber said, as she than kissed Glenn on the cheek.
Glenn just stood there like a statue staring the ground and said "yeah sure no problem let's go" Glenn said in a deadpan voice.
The van pulled into the Starlight mansion they all got out of the van and walked towards the front door.
"Ladies could I come inside and use your phone, I need to call and talk to Jem" Glenn asked.
"Sure Glenn" Kimber said "but she is probably here right now, I will go see if she is here and then you can talk to her in person"
"That sound great, thank you very much Kimber; I will wait out here and you go find her" Glenn responded.
"It is the least I can do" Kimber said, as the Holograms went inside as Glenn waited outside.
Glenn waited and to his surprise out walked Jem and said, "Kimber said you wanted to speak to me Mr. Danson."
"First of all no need to be so formal call me Glenn and yes I did, as you may or may not know I spent the whole day getting to know the Holograms better, and I feel I need to do the same with you in order for our alliance against Eric Raymond to be more effective, so it would be my honor to have lunch with you Miss Jem" Glenn said bowing to Jem.
"How can I say no after being asked in such an honorable way" Jem said.
"Excellent how about I pick you up at your place tomorrow" Glenn said.
"I think it is better you pick me up from here" Jem said.
"So you are very secretive about where you live, I can respect that" Glenn said.
"So where would we be going" Jem asked.
"I hope if you don't mind my place, it is the one place where the press won't bother us." Glenn said.
"Sounds good to me" Jem said.
"Good I will pick you up here at noon tomorrow" Glenn said.
"Okay I will see you than" Jem said. Jem walked inside the Starlight mansion, while Glenn walked towards his rented van and drove home.
The next day at noon, Glenn arrived at the Starlight mansion, Glenn wearing his best looking suit carrying a rose got out of his car and walked to the door, Glenn thought to himself 'I cannot hold back today, I have to use all of my charm and my other devices.' He rang the door bell, Jem opened the door.
Glenn said "Jem it is an honor to be in your company" kissing Jem's hand.
"Mr. Danson you are such a gentlemen" Jem said.
"Please call me Glenn a rose for the lady" Glenn said handing Jem the rose.
"You are too much Glenn"
"Shall we go to my estate" Glenn said.
"We shall" Jem responded.
Glenn walked Jem to his car, opening the door for her, than getting into the car and drove off.
They arrived at Glenn's house, Glenn quickly got out of his car so he could help Jem out of the car they then walked to the front door. Glenn took out his key and opened the front door.
"After you miss" Glenn said holding the door for Jem.
"Thank you very much" Jem said as she walked into the house.
"You're welcome" Glenn said giving a worried look when Jem's back was to him.
They entered the living room; Glenn pointed at his couch and said "please be seated."
"Oh right" Jem said as she sat down.
Glenn ran into his kitchen to get something, when he came out he had a couple of glasses and a bottle of wine.
"Before we get to lunch, why don't have a drink and get to know each other" Glenn said.
"I don't know I don't drink in the afternoon" Jem said.
"Don't worry it is non alcoholic and it would mean so much to me to have a drink with the great Jem" Glenn said he gave a big smile.
"Okay" Jem said.
Glenn thought to himself 'what have I sunk to? I don't think I can ever forgive myself.'
Glenn poured the two glasses with wine, and handed one to Jem.
"Thank you very much" Jem said.
"To our alliance" Glenn said as the two of them pounded their glasses together. The two of them started to drink, "Jem what do you think of that" Glenn said pointing at a vase, when Jem looked at the vase and wasn't looking at her glass, Glenn took out a pill and slipped it in Jem's drink.
"That is a nice vase, what is the big deal?"
"Nothing I thought it looked similar to a vase I saw at the Starlight house" Glenn said.
"You must be mistaken, we don't have any vases like that" Jem said.
"Silly me" Glenn said "how about another drink?" Jem nodded and Glenn poured another drink. "Are you sure Jem, you should take another look." When Jem looked at the vase again, he put in another pill into Jem's drink.
"Nope, looks nothing like anything I have seen at the Starlight mansion."
Jem drank, and it didn't take long for the alcohol and drug that was planted in the drink to take effect. Jem started to act dizzy and was talking funny.
"You know people think they know me, but they don't" Jem said as she started to rant "but no one knows me, not my sister, not my band mates, not Rio, no one understand me."
Glenn saw this as opportunity said "I want to understand you, but first I must know your name, please tell me?"
"You are sweet" Jem said "not to mention handsome." Jem kissed Glenn on the cheek a couple of times as she was dizzier as the alcohol had more effect than Glenn thought it would. "I finally found someone that understands me" Jem than grabbed Glenn and kissed him on the lips, Glenn stood there in shock.
"Oh no this is all my fault, what have I done?" Glenn said.
"I will tell you my name handsome" Jem said. "My name is..."
End of chapter, I have done it again leaving you a cliffhanger, I am so evil. Will Jem reveal her secret, will Glenn have a change of heart, we will find out in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and continue to review
