Whispers From the Past - 2
Ben's House Maine


Not really trusting each other both Jarod and Miss Parker choose to meet at a neutral place.

Major Charles, J.J. and Ethan had the place scope out before Miss Parker and company arrived.

Jarod wondered what it could possible be so important that Miss Parker was willing to talk to him

about. Important enough that she let him pick a nice place to meet, not one of the sleazy hotels he

has had her stay in over the years. He know that she would be bring along her stooges, she informed

him of that.


 Watching her car pull up they sees that Syd in driving, Broots is in the passenger seat. Miss Parker

was nowhere in sight. Smelling a setup Jarod and family head towards the back entrance, as Ben

goes out the front.


 "Where's Miss Parker?" he asks to the men.


 "Shopping with my daughter Debbie," replies Broots "I'm Broots, that over there is Sydney.

She said you would know where we would be staying."


 Tension melted away inside the house. "Broots, why is Debbie here?"


 Startled Broots looks up and see Jarod. "Jarod?" Jarod comes out and helps Syd and Broots

get situated. No one seems to know or understand why Miss Parker has called this meeting.

Ethan could only say that his mother said it was time.


 It was late in the evening when Debbie and Miss Parker walked in the door their arms full

from their shopping exposition. Going up to Ben Miss Parker is told she is in her mothers

old room. Spotting the Major in a corner Miss Parker smirks at him and goes up to her room.

Debbie follows her.


 "Everyone in waiting," Ethan tells her from the doorframe.


 "Let them wait," she snickers seeing her brother's unhappy expression "Tell them I will be

down shortly. OK." Once he leaves Miss Parker rolls her eyes picks up a black book and

extracts a small silver disk.


 Seeing the silver disk, Debbie asks, "What's that?"


 Miss Parker smiles radiantly at her. "Freedom."
