Doorknob, a foot massage, and a stuffed rhino
Those are my items for the 5th chapter of our little tale. It's been a fun ride so far, and you guys have been great. Yay for you! This chapter will answer the burning question...where in the crimson hell are Jackie's parents?
Everyone else in the theater did the same thing, as a pair of policemen stood at the exit door, one waved to the person working at the projector to turn the film off, and turn the lights on.
"We have reason to believe that a runaway by the name of Jackie Burkhart is present at this film, and we are here to take her to the station until her parents arrive to take her home where she belongs."
Jackie immediately stood up.
"I didn't run away! I went to a friends house like any normal teenage girl would do," she explained to them in an angry voice. The officers immediately strode up to her and took a firm hold on both of her arms.
"We got word that you were a runaway, and that's how you are going to be treated until we are told otherwise." They pulled her away at an unnecessarily rough fashion, and Hyde shot out of his seat.
"Hey! Take it easy, she didn't kill anyone, so don't treat her like a criminal!"
"Sit down, sonny," the older of the two officers commanded.
"Let her go!" Hyde ignored the officer's request and made a lunge for them. A bit of a mistake that was. The older officer let go of Jackie, and shoved Hyde forward against a wall before cuffing him.
"You are under arrest for assaulting an officer of the law. I guess now you can be with your little girlfriend after all, just to make sure we take extra good care of her."
"Bastards," Hyde muttered under his breath as he and Jackie were sitting in the back seat of the patrol car.
"You could've just let me go and spared yourself the trouble of getting arrested for me."
"I've done it before, it's not a problem."
"I'll get you the bail money, don't worry."
"I don't want your parents money, Jacks."
Jackie rolled her eyes at him.
"What about my money? I have a job you know."
Hyde looked at her in surprise.
"I knew that, but you know?"
"I think I do. I'm a cheese maiden, right?"
"That's right."
Jackie gave a small squeal of delight, and clapped her hands together.
"This memory stuff is getting easier and easier!" Hyde grinned at her. She leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek, but at the last moment he turned his face, so it landed ever so lightly on his lips. She pulled away in shock, but then leaned in again for a longer, deeper kiss. His hands were aching to pull her closer, but the cuffs had him at a disadvantage.
"Okay you two, time to get out of the car," the young officer announced, pulling Hyde out of the car. Jackie followed with a small smile on her face.
"I have no idea why I did that," she whispered to Hyde, as their eyes never left each other while walking into the station.
"I'm not complaining," he replied.
"We'll have to do it again sometime."
"Yeah, after we post bail for this madman, you can do whatever the hell you want with him, but for now, he's staying with us," the young officer cut in.
Jackie immediately saw her parents, as she and Hyde were ushered into the station. They were standing near a desk that had a stuffed Rhino perched on it, along with various pictures of an officer's family. They took one disapproving look at her and Hyde, before her mother spoke.
"You, it's always you! Do you realize that you could have derailed her recovery? As for you, how could you leave us? Why didn't you go to your room when we told you?"
"I didn't know where it was," Jackie replied hotly. Her mother gave a frustrated cry, walked over to Jackie, and slapped her across the face. Her father rushed over to her mother, and put an arm around her as she started to sob.
"Honey, it's ok. Jackie's safe now."
"I struck out at my own child! She drove me to it." She looked over at Hyde, who was glaring at her.
"Take him away from my daughter."
As the officer started pulling Hyde away to his designated cell, Jackie impulsively threw her arms around his neck and gave him another passionate kiss, that both tried to make last, by fighting the father and the officer who was pulling them away from each other.
Finally they were separated, and Jackie found herself walking out of the station with her parents after they had filled out a statement. Jackie's father's hand was placed firmly on her shoulder as they walked out to the car. Her mother was still crying, but at a quieter volume.
"Sweetheart, once we get home we can have Lulu give you a foot massage, would that make you feel better?" Her father asked her mother.
"It might...a new daughter would help too."
"Don't upset her, it's the shock of her losing her memory and everything. Once we see the doctor, we will have her home in bed until she makes a full recovery."
"I don't want her seeing that boy, or any of his friends again. They give me tension headaches."
"Of course."
Jackie tensed up at that agreement, but said nothing.
It seemed like hours before the doctor gave his diagnosis. Temporary amnesia. Jackie was promptly confined to her room once they arrived at home. She twisted at the doorknob to open it, but the door locked from the outside as well as the inside, and she was trapped.
Trapped in a pretty pink paradise that she didn't even recognize.
