Where my pretty one lies.. Part 16 Dream

Interstate 86 3:15P.M.

Miss Parker and Junior are weaving in and out of traffic. Each driver trying to out do the other with dangerous stunts. It was like the Indianapolis Speedway but in each car there was at lest one passenger.

Those passengers took turns first pleading then threatening to get their respective drivers to slow down. The only ones enjoying the high speeds were the drivers. Who were smiling away like there was no tomorrow and the way they were driving one could think that.

Even in Jarod's car, which was speeding toward the Centre's town cars, was mentally pleading for the drivers to slow down. But all this was to no avail the drivers were in fact speeding up, getting more reckless and performing more dangerous stunts.

When Miss Parker swerved in front of Junior's car nearly clipping off his front end, Jarod's hands gripped his steering wheel so hard he left an impression.

'Enough of this.' Reaching for his cell he puts the hands free driver safe set on. Hitting the speed dial he hears it ring once before Broots comes of the line.

"Hello." whimpers Broots.

"Put Parker on now!" demands Jarod. He hears Broots inform Miss Parker that Jarod wishes to talk to her. Hearing her curse, she instructs Broots to get her hands free from the glove compartment. After waiting for her to put the thing on properly. Her voice comes on the line.

"What!" she laughs.

"Slow down!" shouts Jarod. 'Has she gone nuts?'

"Why, you *planning* on joining us?" inquires Miss Parker. 'Not at the rate you're going.'

"Slow your ass down!" demands Jarod. Seeing no change. Hearing her laugh so more.

"NOW!" he snaps.

When he sees her car slowing down a little, he lets a small sigh of relief out. When she flashes Junior's car he notices his car also slowing down. Jarod feels the pent up tension in his body start to leave him. 'Good.'

"Junior!" Miss Parker screams in his ear, yanking the microphone out of his hear Jarod focuses his attention on Junior's car.
