Parker woke up with the sun in her eyes. Turning around quickly she faced Jarod, her back to the window.
" Uhh. It's morning" her voice was groggy. Her eyes opened to meet Jarod's smiling face.
"Good -morning" he said.
" Oh, you're a morning person".
" I'm sorry?" he said.
" Are we anywhere near coffee ?" she asked.
" There's a Starbucks right before we get to the apartment." he said.
" Where are we going ?" she asked looking around.
" To see my dad." he answered.
" Did you tell him that you kidnapped me?" she asked smiling.
" Ha Ha. I haven't called him yet." he said looking straight forward. "We're just going to surprise him."
" Oh, this should be fun. The boy is with him ?" she asked.
" Yes. And so is my sister Emily."
" How is she? I don't think I ever met her." she said.
" You're right. Don't worry you'll like her. She's persistent, ambitious, exceptional…."
Parker stole a glance at him as he listed his sister's attributes.
" He looks so happy" she thought. She quickly comes to her senses when he catches her
looking.
" What?" he asked.
She cleared her throat. "Umm. Did you miss the Starbucks?" she asked
" No. It's right there." he pointed at it then drove into the parking lot.
He came to stop.
" I'll have a vanilla coffee. Medium size. Bring lots of sugar and cream." she said.
" You're not coming ?" he asked.
" Somehow I don't think a woman in a bath robe will go over too well with people."
He rolled down the window, then got out the car.
" You underestimate yourself Parker. You can make anything go your way." he said then
left.
" Especially in a bath robe." he thought.
She watched him walk into the café. She sat up looking into the mirror to fix her hair.
She reflects on the past day. Without her inner sense Jarod would be dead. And she would be god knows where. She spotted him coming back to the car. Sitting back comfortably in the chair she said a silent thank you to whatever god was watching out for them. Somebody was definitely on their side.
" Here's your coffee, cream, and sugars." he handed them to her.
" Thanks." she said. She mix the coffee then sat back comfortably drinking.
A couple of minutes later they turned into the parking lot of apartment complex.
" This is where they are. Come on. Let's go surprise them." he said killing the car.
They took 2 flights of stairs to their apartment. After a couple of knocks without an answer, they took of to see the super. Jarod knocked on the super's door.
" Yes ?" she came out. She looked at Parker with a look somewhere between amazement and disgust. Parker stared back.
" Have you seen this man.?" Jarod asked shifting the super's attention.
" Yes. He left about 2 days ago."
" Oh." Jarod said disappointed. Parker smiled sadly at him.
" Can we rent out their apartment?" he asked.
" Sure." she went back into the room then brought a key. She then handed it to Jarod.
" Thank you." he said. She then handed him an envelope.
" The little boy asked me to give this to you. Sweet child." she said.
Jarod's face lit up with a smile. Parker couldn't help but smile. Jarod said thank you then they returned to the apartment.
" There's only one bed." Parker thought.
" Ok. I'll be right back." Jarod said. Leaving Parker in the room.
He returned with a bag and the DSA case.
" So, where do you think they are now.?" Parker asked.
" I trust Vincent left me a clue in the envelope."
" Vincent." she asked.
" The clone. He has a different name at least every week." he laughed.
Parker smiled. " So. What are we going to do about my state of undress." she asked.
" Well we are settled in, so to speak."
" Let's go shopping." she said.
" Ummm." he dug in his bag and provided her with some boxer shorts and a t-shirt.
Parker hesitantly put them on. " Why don't I just walk around naked." she suggested at when she came out of the bathroom.
" Well it's getting cold outside. But if you want to…."
" Oh. Shut up."
"Ok. Lets go." he said opening the door. Parker looked at herself in the mirror.
" Everything is too big." she said. " I hope no one I know sees me." she huffed
She put on a pair of Jarod's sandals. Then they left. Jarod couldn't help but smile at how normal she looked. She didn't seem so scary .
