Whispers From the Past - 3
Ben's House Maine – Family Room
"This is not like Miss
Parker," states Broots.
"I agree," mutters
Syd. "I think she has snapped."
Ethan walks quietly into the
room a worried expression on his face. Major Charles notices.
He asks, "Ethan what's wrong?"
"Nothing really, it's just,
never mind," dismisses Ethan.
"Just what," questions
Jarod.
"It's Miss Parker,"
says Ethan. "She was joking around upstairs. Like she had all
the time in the world."
Bounding down the steps like a
child Miss Parker flashes Ben a smile. He hesitantly returns it;
glancing at
Jarod his nervousness is apparent. Going in to the family room Miss Parker looks the group over
and almost laughs at them.
"I'm perfectly fine,"
states Miss Parker. "But I do have a questions for Jarod. Which
is why I wanted to talk
to him. Not everyone." Flopping down into an oversized chair, she watches everyone's reactions to her
uncharacteristic actions. Everyone looked short of horrified. 'Note to self, should have bought gum.'
"Miss Parker," looking
at her, Jarod could almost swear she was bored. "You wanted to
ask me something."
"Yeah, I wanted to know how long," she questions.
"How long what?" asks
Jarod feeling a little confused.
"How long have you been
looking for my mother's plan," asks Miss Parker finally looking
at him.
"Since I left the Centre,"
answers Jarod "Why?" Getting up, Miss Parker heads back the
way she came.
"Because I have it,"
answers Miss Parker smirking at him. "Just wanted to let you
know." Winking at him
she leaves the room.
