Exit Stage Left Chapter 8
Can you believe it!? I actually updated this story. My life has been so hectic that I just have absolutely no time. I didn't really have time to read over it so I hope that it's okay to read. I love the reviews, but please none on grammar or how to properly publish writing on the web. I really don't have time to deal with it.
Jodi walked the streets of San Francisco not knowing where she was. Then again, she really didn't care. She felt so lost, lost in mind, in body, and in San Francisco. She pulled out her cell phone debating whether to call Cooper or Charlie. Bitting her lip in frustration and running her hand through her hair, she sat down on the curb. She tried to think of happier times like the week her and Charlie spent in Hawaii, when everything was so perfect. "Well hello, what do we have here?" Jodi turned around to see a dark figure standing over her. "I was uh, just leaving," the terror began to rise within her body. "Oh come on now, a pretty little thing like you. I bet we could have a lot of fun." Getting up Jodi backed away, "I don't think so." The dark figure stepped closer grabbing onto her, "oh, I think so."
Elsewhere...
Charlie sat in front of his television only half watching it. A part of him never wanted to see Jodi again, but another part of him wanted to call her that very moment. Unfortunately his stubborn pride got in the way and he couldn't bring himself to pick up the phone. The doorbell rang and half expecting to see Jodi, Charlie jumped up to answer it. "Cooper," he stepped back surprised. "I went to see Jodi but she wasn't there. Her roommate said she was probably here and gave me the address." "Well she's not, so unless you have anything else to say have a goodnight." "Wait, Charlie... I need to ask you some things. It's kind of important." Charlie saw that Cooper was actually sincere, "yeah okay man, come on in." The two sat down and for a minute neither of them said anything. "Charlie, I don't know how... I just need to, I have to ask you, do you still love Jodi?" He didn't know how to respond, of course he did, he never stopped, but how was he suppose to tell Cooper that. "Yeah, I do." "Well then, I think there's some things you need to know. Do you mind if we take a walk?" Charlie nodded his head, "sure, but this better be good Coop," "trust me, you definitely want to hear what I have to say." Charlie grabbed his jacket and the two began to walk out. The phone rang and Cooper shot Charlie a look, "don't worry, the machine will pick it up," and with that he locked the door.
Somewhere on the streets of San Francisco...
Jodi ran as fast as she could trying to get away from her assailant. She trembled and cried as she heard his footsteps just behind her. She ducked behind a corner and for a moment she thought she had lost him. She took the opportunity to call for help and without thinking dialed 1 on her speed dial. 'Please Charlie pick up,' she thought to herself. The machine picked up, "Charlie please be scanning, please pick up! There's this guy he's chasing me, he's going to find me, help me," her voice was interrupted by a deep rough voice, "aww, there you are," Jodi dropped her phone as the guy grabbed her and threw her to the ground.
