Disclaimer: see chapter one

Author's Note: Hi people. I decided to go on with this story after getting your reviews and encouragements. Before posting the first part I was quite certain that I wouldn't continue for I thought that the surprise was over after the first chapter and I didn't have any ideas how to continue. But when I read your reviews I thought it over and… well, the next chapter is here and there will be more to come. At the moment I'm considering, making a whole story.

Ah, and thank Grace that I continue this one. She gave me the main idea, how the story will move along (the basic outline).

I have to warn you though because most chapters won't be as long as those from "To End The Evil". Only that you know. You can complain but it won't get you any further.

Thanks to those, who reviewed the first part:

e-dog: Again, a review from you. Thanks for telling me what you think about my stories, not only "To End The Evil" but also with this one. Hope you will enjoy this chapter as much as the last one.

gemini006007: Also thanks to you for reviewing not only "To End The Evil" but this little piece as well. Thanks for the encouragements.

Grace: Already told you that you are the main reason there is a follow-up. I didn't have any ideas at first but you gave me the sketchy main-plot (though it will move into a different direction as you might think). Thanks for that and keep reviewing, please. Oh, an: Have fun with this part.

Rachel: Ok, if you insist,… I'm making a sequel. And this is not the last one!!! Thanks for reviewing and have fun!

The Call Part 2

Disturbing the night

The shrill ringing of his cell phone effectively roused him from his sleep. He grunted. Without raising his head away from the pillow and with his eyes still closed, he reached over to where the noise was coming from. Swatting his hand over the small table where several objects lay, he finally found an item.

Rising his hand to his ear, he fumbled with the device.

"Hmmm?" He mumbled.

Surprisingly the ringing didn't stop.

"Damn'it!" He roused somewhat and opened his eyes. A little more awake now, he realized that the item in his hand was not his cell phone.

Jarod let the object he held in his hand fall onto his bed and reached out once more.

The shrill sound continued and he went on searching for the device.

Finally finding the object in question, he snapped it open and held it to his ear.

"Hmmm?" He murmured, still sleepy.

"What took you so long?" Parker's voice floated over the line.

"Agh, Parker", he grumbled and rubbed his hand over his eyes.

"Yes Jarod?" She asked sweetly, the smile and satisfaction apparent in her voice.

"Call again later to torment me!" He said tiredly and snapped the phone shut, cutting off the connection.

He let his arm sink away from his head and put the phone back onto the nightstand. Only seconds later he was fast asleep again.

~~~~~~~

In Blue Cove, Parker looked at the cell phone in her hand, an eyebrow raised. He had terminated the call. God, he sounded tired.

Suddenly, a vicious smile appeared on her lips.

Parker got up from her couch and walked into the kitchen. Pouring a glass of water, she leaned back against the counter and swallowed part of the contents.

~~~~~~~

Again, the telephone roused him from his slumber.

Jarod groaned. He turned away from the noise. When the ringing continued, he grabbed his pillow from under his head and buried his face in the mattress under him, his pillow covering his head.

Nonetheless, the ringing continued and reached his ears through the cushion.

Jarod growled but he did his best to ignore the disturbing noise.

As suddenly as it had started, the ringing stopped.

He sighed gratefully at the following silence.

Seconds after stopping, another call came in, making the phone ring again.

When he couldn't take it any longer, Jarod grabbed his cell and opened it.

"My God, Parker", he grumbled.

"Oh, just Parker is ok. No need to be that submissive and call me God", she chuckled.

"Funny, very funny", he said.

"Yeah, don't you think", Parker quipped.

"Didn't I tell you to call back later?" He asked.

"Yes, you did", she stated.

"And, why didn't you do as I said?" He growled.

"As a matter of fact, I did. It's five minutes later than the first time I called you today", she grinned.

Jarod clenched his eyes shut. "Oh, great", he muttered.

Parker kept silent.

"And, is there anything you want besides annoying me and keeping me from sleeping?" He asked.

"Let me think about that… no", she smiled and shook her head as if Jarod could see it.

"In that case, this call ends right here and there", Jarod grumbled and terminated the connection the second time that night.

After cutting the connection, he deactivated his cell, hoping that he would be able to sleep for some more time.

~~~~~~~

The dialling tone ringing in her ears, Parker started laughing.

"Gotcha again!" She snickered.
