Where my pretty one lies.. Part 5 Dream
The Lair Jarod's Bedroom 6:30 P.M.
'Did he do that to Mrs. Parker? Is that how he keep her at his house without much of a fight? Did he do the to Miss Parker? Is that why she . No, he couldn't have done that to her. *That* would have interfered with the chase.' Still pacing the room, he doesn't notice Zoe. He picks up the cell phone debating if he should call her.
"Jarod, I'm lonely. Why don't you stop pacing and using that energy on something more productive" purrs Zoe as she places her arms around his body.
"Zoe, I am not in the mood." Replies Jarod as he tries to remove her arms. Zoe tightens her grip and presses her body closer to Jarod. "That's not new, you're never in the mood," dismisses Zoe.
"Not now Zoe!" snaps Jarod. He forcefully removes her arms from around his body and pushes her away.
"Every since you went to that damn island you have been more then distant. Hell, now that I think about even before then. You always seem to be pushing me away. Focusing on other things," wines Zoe as she tries to embrace Jarod again, not noticing Jarod flinch from her tone of voice.
Struggling out of her embrace Jarod states "I said not now."
"Well when? Jarod, I am getting tried of playing second fiddle." Zoe continues to wine.
Major Charles watches Zoe interrogate Jarod from the living room. 'One of these days Jarod is going to wise up and dump her.'
Zoe gives it one more shot at holding Jarod before she gets angry and storms out of the room.
Major Charles just shakes his head and looks over to Ethan. He sees that Ethan is sleeping peacefully at the window. Major Charles gets up and walks toward Jarod's bedroom. He closes the door behind in to insure privacy.
"Jarod, we need to talk."
The Lair Family room 6:45 P.M.
'I'll not play second fiddle to this freak!' Stalking toward Ethan, Zoe decides to take matters into her own hands. She pokes at Ethan until he wakes up. "And, how is your sister Miss Parker" Zoe laughs. Then vindictively says "*What's the matter* did she disown you?"
"No, she loves me."
"Yeah, right. Then, were is she? Why isn't she here with you?" maliciously states Zoe, waving her hands in the air. "I don't think she does love you. If it weren't for you, her mother would still be here. Isn't that true?"
The Lair Jarod's Bedroom 6:50 P.M.
Behind the closed door, Major Charles and Jarod can hear Ethan fragile wail "Miss Parker *is* my sister, Zoe. She does love me!"
Major Charles rushes to the door and swings it open with such force that it crashes against the wall. Upon seeing the distress on Ethan's face, Major Charles curtly says, "Zoe, their relationship is none of your business."
In an authoritative voice Jarod states, "It's the holidays. The time to reach out to ones family, it's *past time* for you to reach out to your *own*". With that being said Jarod spends the rest of the night preparing Zoe's immediate departure.
Jarod's New Lair The Family room 1:30 A.M.
--Beep--
--"You have mail" --
-- Beep ---
--"You have mail" --
--- Beep --
The laptop on the desk beeped again, Major Charles reaches over takes the mouse and hit the Mailbox icon. He sees the screen become gibberish. 'Damn.' Looking over at his children, he notices everyone is sleeping expect for J.C. who is wide-awake.
"J.C. this computer is swearing at me,' states the Major. Seeing his son smirk at him, J.C. goes over states typing on the keyboard. In a few seconds J.C. put the computer to rights.
"It's not a regular e-mail, this is carrying a voice package, which is why it went bonkers when you opened it.
Closing and re-opening the e-mail. Lyle's repulsive voice was heard coming out of the computer startling everyone awake.
"You are sure, that's were the pretender and his family is?" demands Lyle; they could practically hear him smiling.
"Yes, Lyle I am sure."
"That BITCH!" shouts the Major as he jumps out of his chair. "That is how Lyle keep finding us. It was Zoe!!" Seeing their father shaking with rage, his children start to laugh at him. Some of his children were laughing so hard that they are getting the ground with their hands.
"What!" he demands.
"She is going to be in a lot of trouble, because we are no longer there, plus the heads up gives us time to plot something truly evil for Mr. Lyle, " chokes out Emily.
"And something equally special for Zoe." declared Jarod.
"Plus, we now know who is helping Lyle, we don't have to worry about being caught," laughs Ethan.
The Charles claim set-up camp, making suggestions that were getting more radical as the night progressed. The two traps were set-up for their intended *victims*. The group falls into easy sleep.
************************************************************************ More to come!! Any questions? Sometimes things aren't what they appear and sometimes they are.
