Tiffany's Poem: Whispers from the past Part 16



The Warehouse

Opening the back door Jarod slowly eased himself inside. Flickering his eyes around the room he spots nothing out of the ordinary, Miss Parker's voice floats towards him but he cant make out what she's saying. Standing up Jarod strides confidently over to the doorframe.

Outside in the Van

Broots sighs 'man if Miss Parker is really trying to get Jarod back for all those years of humiliation I'm so glad I'm out here.' Laughing to himself Broots turns on the radio and starts to grove to the music.

The Warehouse

Going in the front door Major Charles immediately smells something off, looking around he only notices that he is standing in a puddle of water, thinking nothing of it he continues to walk toward the voice of his daughter.

Elsewhere

Sliding in the both Miss Parker sits next to Debbie as they wait for their waiter to return with their order. Glancing at each other the grown women feel like schoolgirls.

"This is going to be so much fun," laughs Emily as she makes eyes at their waiter.

"Yep," replies Debbie "Do you think they are there yet?"

"Yes," dismisses Miss Parker "Come on this is wonder boy, he *has* to show me up. Of course he's there." Seeing Emily's confused expression Miss Parker tries to explain all of her little nicknames for Jarod, causing the girls to laugh so loud that other customers were looking at their table.

The Warehouse

Going out into the hall Jarod notices a foul smell. Looking around he can't find what seems to make the smell. Following Miss Parker's voice Jarod comes to a door that's marked 'Do Not Enter' in bright yellow paint. Pulling out his knife Jarod scratches the sign. He notes that the paint is fresh 'this could be what's making this smell.'

Elsewhere

Pulling her car into the gas station that is full service. The man runs up to her car asking if she needs a fill up. Replying that indeed she does she hands him a twenty dollar bill when he is done. Before pulling away she asks where the closest restaurant was. She was informed that the nearest place was Wild Bill's it was also the local ice cream place. Smiling her thanks she pulled out.

The Warehouse

Walking in a small room Major Charles notices two things instantly one his daughter's voice was coming from a computer set up on the desk, stopping a few feet away for the desk Major Charles watches as it shifts over to simulating Miss Parker's voice. Smirking 'at lest she's thorough.'

Hearing a door open Major Charles tries to move toward the desk, finding that he can't move his feet, he swears as he pulls out his gun. As the door creaks open he could hear his son cursing up a blue streak, when the door finally opened Major Charles looked at his son covered in slime green ooze.

Laughing, "What happened to you," questions Major Charles receiving a hard glare from his son.

Wiping some of the ooze off his face with his hand Jarod comes further into the room. Spotting paper towels on the desk Jarod picks them up and pulls off a large amount.

"Nothing," he snaps as he runs the paper towels down his face "Well are you just going to stand there or help me?"

"Stand here," replies Major Charles after getting a weird look from Jarod he tries to explain, "Since I can't move." Hearing his son swear before explaining what Miss Parker has done, Jarod receives a hard glare from his father.

"Anything else I should know about," questions Major Charles.

Thinking of all of the tricks he has pulled on Miss Parker, Jarod flinches "Ah, nothing." Hearing his father's controlled laughter radiating toward him. Throwing the paper towels toward the desk Jarod is surprised to find them stuck to his hand. "Shit," he mutters "Ah, Dad maybe *there* are a few things I should tell you."

"Before you start I think you should know that you face has just turned a lovely shade of orange," snickers Major Charles 'thank god she's not mad at me.'
