UNBELIEVABLE
CHAPTER 2
Of course it is impossible. He closes his eyes and after awhile opens them to see if his eyes has deceived him, but the thumb is still there. He gets out of bed and starts to get dressed. Thumb or no thumb, he still has to go to work. Suddenly the radio switches itself on, he stares at it.
"What the hell is going on here?" he mumbles and turns the radio off, suddenly the phone rings.
"Yeah?" he answers and when he hears the voice on the other line he sighs deeply.
"I thought we agreed that you wouldn't call me here?"
"Alright, I'll meet you at Fort Delaware State Park in Delaware City. At the end of Clinton Street. In two hours. Good, bye," he hangs up with a sigh. The radio turns itself on again. He stares at it in disbelief and turns it off again, this time he even pulls the cable from the wall. He sighs and calls the Centre to say that he's coming in late.
5 MINUTES LATER THE PARKING
Lyle gets into the car and starts it, or tries to. The motor refuses to start, Lyle swears loudly trying again, but the car just won't start. He hits the wheel with his left hand and takes up the cell phone to call Miss Parker for help.
"Hi Parker. I need a ride, could you please drive me to Fort Delaware State Park in Delaware City?"
"Thanks. I have a.... meeting."
"A friend? Sure why not I guess we can handle that. Great. Bye," Lyle says knowing perfectly well that Miss Parker will bring Jarod.
THE SAME TIME MISS PARKERS HOUSE
"Jarod. Come down here. We're going to Delaware City," Miss Parker screams through an open window.
"Coming," Jarod screams back. He runs down the stares and out the door. Miss Parker closes the window from the outside and goes to the car.
"Why are we leaving?" Jarod asks as soon as they get into the car.
"Lyle needs a ride to Fort Delaware State Park in Delaware City. I agreed to drive him," Miss Parker says and drives off.
"What? You want me to be in the same car as Lyle? Are you crazy?" Jarod says alarmed.
"It's okay Jarod, he changed remember? Plus the fact that he knows that if he does anything wrong I'll cut his head off," she answers warningly.
"Getting a little protective aren't we?" he smiles widely. His smile fades as she makes a turn in a way to high speed.
"I always am protective of my possessions," she says as soon as the turn's over.
"Funny, I always thought the Centre owned me," Jarod says in a derisive voice.
"The Centre doesn't own anyone anymore. Two sweepers quit this month and they actually made it out the door alive. Daddy is too caught up in this new project to care about anything else," Miss Parker says sadly.
"What new project?" Jarod asks trying to remember anything about a new project about the files he has been studying lately.
"I'm not sure. I think it's something about making the ultimate power source. All I know is that Dad and Raines has been working on it for two months now," she says and turns into the parking stopping in front of Lyle. He opens the backdoor and climbs in.
"Next time I want a ride with you two I'll have to make sure Jarod is driving. You nearly ran over my feet," Lyle says with a hesitant smile.
"Stop talking, or start walking," she snaps and starts to drive away from the house.
"Hello Jarod. I have a surprise for you," Lyle says ignoring his sister.
"Let me guess, handcuffs, a hit to the head and a one way ticket to the Centre?" Jarod says with a smirk.
"Very funny. No, a meeting with Kyle," Lyle says not really knowing why he knows that Jarod knows his brother is alive. Jarod looks at him confused.
"How did you know that Parker told me?"
"I... I have no idea. Strange things have been happening ever since I got out of bed. The Radio started playing. And..." he stops.
"And what?" Miss Parker asks.
"My thumb is back," he answers and waves his thumb in the rearview mirror.
"That's impossible. Thumbs doesn't suddenly grow back," Jarod states in a shocked voice.
"I know that. But something clearly happened to my thumb, because it wasn't there when I went to bed last night, but its here now," Lyle says a bit annoyed.
"What happened to you after you went to sleep?" Miss Parker asks instantly realizing how dumb she sounds.
"I dreamed," Lyle answers puzzled.
"I didn't mean it like that. I meant... Screw it I don't know what I meant," she says with a sigh. Lyle and Jarod give her odd looks. Suddenly her hair stands straight up. Jarod's eyes grow big as he stares at it in pure shock.
"Miss Parker did you use to much hairspray this morning?" Lyle asks with an amused smile.
"No. I didn't use... Wait. Why do you want to know that?" she asks and looks in the mirror. She sees her hair and steps on the brake. When the car has stopped she stares at the hair and traces it with her fingers. Jarod touches it and can't figure out what happened. Just as suddenly as the hair stood up, it falls back to its original position. Miss Parker stares at Jarod totally confused, she shakes her head as if to clear it. Soon they can all feel the car starting to move, Miss Parker looks totally petrified. Jarod and Lyle can see that she isn't doing anything that would indicate that she is driving. Lyle is starting to feel exhausted, he finds that extremely odd since he hasn't done anything.
A/N: I know I haven't updated for awhile, but I was sort of stuck in how I would continue. So I'm apologizing and to those of you who are reading this story, keep your fingers crossed that the next chapter doesn't take as much time as this one.
