Chapter 2-  Return of the Super-Karate-Monkey-Death-Car-Girl!!!!!!!!!

"Brother?"  Kerry repeated in shock.  "That's impossible.  I was adopted."  Kerry said.

"Maybe you were, but I wasn't."  Zack replied.

"B-but, I…"

"Look, why don't we get together and talk about this elsewhere?"  He suggested.

"Y-Yeah.  Good Idea."  Kerry said, obviously in shock.

Zack placed his hands on his sister's shoulders.

"Don't worry.  Everything'll be okay."  He reassured.

"I'll be fine.  I won't let this affect my job.  Meet me at Doc Magoo's at 5?"

"See you there."

Kerry made to sit down and sat on a whoopee cushion in the lounge.  Dave and Carter started snickering, and Carter made his exit.  Kerry didn't yell, scream, or try to reprimand Dave for his actions.  She just sat there, not even noticing the tasteless prank.  Dave stood up and stopped laughing.

"Chief?  Is everything okay?"

"Dave, I…  I just met my brother."

"Your brother?  Is he the redhead in chairs?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Sorry to make you do this, but what is his name?"

"Zack Barker."

"You're kidding, right?  You're the sister of Zackary Barker?"

"Yes, I believe so.  Why?"

"I went to school with him!  He was one of my best friends!  We were inseparable!"

"What was he like?"  Kerry asked.

"Oh.  He's a real nice guy.  You know the expression about redheads being evil?"

Kerry nodded, smiling as she recalled the old puppeteer.

"Well, he's living proof.  Together, we poured some chemicals together and caused billowing black smoke to fill the room and the hallways.  They had to evacuate the entire school and bring in the fire department.  But, he's also a really sweet guy, and he would give you the shirt off his back, hug you when you need it, cry with you if you need it, and try his best to make you feel better."  Dave said.

"Oh, great.  So, my brother is the opposite of me?"

"Well, he has a head of red hair, and he has one killer attitude when you piss him off."  Dave remarked, still in reminiscence mode.

Kerry smiled weakly, and sipped her coffee.  Dave sat down next to her and stared off into space. 

Kerry came out of her daze and looked toward Malucci.  "Say, Dave?"

"Huh?"

"Would you…"

"Huh?"

Kerry took a deep breath.

"Would you go with me to meet him?"

"Why do you want me, your resident-delinquent, to go with you?"

"To, uhm…  To break the ice with an old friend?"

"Well…."  Dave said, trying to find a way out…  unsuccessfully.  Kerry began to glare and he sheepishly grinned.

"Okay, Fine."

Well, if you guys haven't dropped dead over the reappearance of PeachyKeen, then you're still reading.  I want you to review, because I'm a review-whore!  I promise to try and update this more often, okay?
