Jackie sat down on the already made up hotel bed. She brushed her hair and pulled it back into a bun. She turned on the TV and began to watch. Due to the long night, she had immediately fallen asleep.
Eric couldn't believe what he had witnessed. Tonight was ending up to be some kind of bizarre weird nightmare. First Jackie claiming that Donna and Hyde were having an affair, then she knew the name that Donna and Eric had discussed, and lastly this. He wouldn't have paid any attention to it if wasn't for Jackie. Yes it was a kiss on the cheek but given the circumstances, it was highly uncalled for. Though if what Jackie was saying was true then he wouldn't be surprise that she had just kissed him on the cheek. After all, she didn't even know he was there.
"So what are we going to do?" Donna asked.
"What you mean?" Hyde asked back.
"Well, you know this is going to destroy our friendship." Donna said.
"Yes I know." Hyde said.
"What's going to destroy your friendship?" Eric came out from hiding to ask.
"Eric I didn't know that you were there." Donna said.
"Does it matter if I was out here or not?" Eric asked.
"No it doesn't matter Eric; look, I'm sorry if you thought I was being mean but this whole situation with Jackie has made me a little uneasy." Donna said.
"Why? I mean if you're not guilty, like you say, then you wouldn't feel uneasy at all; right?" He asked.
"Eric don't you believe me?" Donna asked.
"I don't know. Donna did you ever discuss with Jackie what we wanted to name our first daughter?" Eric said.
"Why does that matter now?" Donna asked.
"Just answer the question please." Eric asked.
"No, why would I discuss what we were going to name our child with her? She hardly ever listens to me anyways." Donna said.
"Okay, that's all I needed to know." Eric said.
"What do you mean that's all you needed to know?" Donna said.
"Donna I really don't believe you right now. I'm just going to wait for the pictures to come in." Eric said.
"ERIC WAIT." Donna yelled but it was too late he had already gone inside.
"What the hell was that all about?" Donna asked.
"I don't know but I bet it had to do with a conversation between him and Jackie." Hyde said.
"I can't wait for those pictures to come back. I know that she's lying." Donna said.
"I know too." He replied.
"I go to go now." Donna said.
Hyde smiled at her and watched her leave. He waited for her to go into her yard before starting the car up. Hyde drove down the streets thinking about what Jackie had said to Eric. There was a question that was burning inside of his head. Why would they be discussing Eric and Donna's baby? It was a question that he didn't understand and it was one that had to be answered.
Jackie lay sleeping in her bed. The night had been along one and all she wanted to do was get some sleep before she had to face the next few days. She heard a knock on her door that pulled her out of her light sleep. She jumped up and answered the door. Hyde was standing there. There was hurt and anger in his eyes.
"How could you do this to Donna?" He asked.
"I didn't do anything wrong." She replied.
"Donna's your best friend and you're willing to ruin her engagement to Eric just to get back at me." Hyde said.
"No you don't..."
"What I don't understand what you're doing? Jackie I know how your rich snobby mind works." Hyde said.
"Go away Steven." Jackie said.
She went to close the door, but Hyde put his foot in the way and slammed it back open.
"Steven do I have to call security; do I." Jackie asked.
"Sit down Jackie. It's going to be a long night." Hyde said.
` "Go away Steven." Jackie said but not as firmly as she did the second time.
Hyde slapped her across the face and threw her on to the top of the bed.
"When I'm done with you, you'll wish that you had never opened your mouth." Hyde said.
Jackie began to scream but it was useless; no one could here her.
Hyde walked up to the front desk and asked for Ms. Burkhart's room. He pointed him in the right direction and when he got there, he heard vicious screams coming out of Jackie's room. He grabbed the door handle and began to try and open it but it was lock. He banged on her door but she didn't answer him. He ran back down the hall and got the clerk. The clerk opened the door and Hyde went in to find nothing in the room; not even Jackie. Not only was Jackie gone but her bed was gone as well.
"Are you sure that you gave me the right room?" He asked him.
"Yes, I'm sure sir. This is Ms. Burkhart's room." The clerk said.
"Well then where is she and where's the bed?" Hyde asked.
"I don't know sir. I'll be right back." The clerk said.
Hyde walked around the room until he noticed a purple crumbled up blouse lying on the ground; it was Jackie's. The clerk came back and said that he had called the cops. Hyde then called Kitty and Red to tell them that Jackie was missing and that for some stranger reason her bed wasn't there as well. Little did Hyde know that the bed had a mind of its own. Jackie had traveled again and this time she was stuck later into the week.
