Tiffany's Poem: Whispers from the past Part 13

Miss Parker's Room

Welcome to my world

"What," shouts Jarod as he slams the book down on the bed, quickly looking around the room Jarod thinks of possible escape passages. Going over to the window he looks down, 'nothing, what am I thinking Melody going down a ladder when she could have easily walked out the door.'

Picking up the book Major Charles looks at the words Melody has written 'damn I hope she's not going to pay him back for every single little thing.' Looking around the room's setup 'have to give it to her, really knows how to arrange things.'

Spotting the flatware and silverware Major Charles look around for Debbie and Emily. "Emily," shouts Major Charles "Emily where are you?"

"Don't worry we can find them easily," assures Broots. Both Jarod and Major Charles look at Broots funny. "Hell we have been tracking Jarod for five years, plus they must have left right before we come up here."

"So they only have a few minutes head start," says Ethan as they head back downstairs.

"Plus they're on foot," comment J.J. holding Miss Parker's car keys in his hand.

"Ok," relaxes Jarod "this should be easy then." Grabbing his car keys Jarod and family head toward his car. Opening the driver side door Jarod slips in and tries to start the car. It stutters then clunks out 'shit she had to remember that time.'

"No problem," starts Syd we'll just take our car. Pulling Miss Parker's car key from J.J. egger hand Syd goes to his car. Starting the car, Syd puts on his seat belt pulling up to Jarod, they all hear a loud hissing noise as the air in the tires slowly leak out.

"Ah, Jarod," starts Syd "I need a little help here." As he pulls on the release of the safety belt 'I never did that to her.' Pulling out his knife Jarod cuts him loose as Ethan backs away from his car not even bothering to try it.

"What's wrong," demands Jarod.

"Mother says," groans Ethan "don't get into the car. And not to bother trying Ben's either." Broots looks at the group in front of him then busts out laughing.

"What," growls Jarod.

"It's payback time," laughs Broots pointing to the cars "this was all for Jarod. Not us. I want to know how she was able to pull this all off without everyone here knowing and I don't wan to know what's next. "

Unseen by the men standing in the driveway Miss Parker smirk as she put away the telescope 'yep this is going to be real fun.' Looking at her partners in crime "Ladies phase one is complete, they should be entering phase two soon."
