Miss Parker

By: 24

Miss Parker was walking towards Sydney's office when she heard Sydney talking to some one. She heard only the last part of it.

"Jarod, you know what you should do."

Why is he talking to Jarod? He should be trying to get him to come home not talking to him. She thought. Then she heard what else he said.

"But whoever this was got inside your lair. This is not good at all. "

What was happening? Was Jarod in trouble? Was he hurt?

She heard Sydney hang up and then she walked in.

"What's happening? Is Jarod in trouble?"

"This doesn't concern you."

"I heard you talking to Jarod. Jarod is my business. Whatever's happening to Jarod is my business, so tell me what's going on."

"Or what?"

"Or I might have to kill you."

"You won't kill me Miss Parker."

"No, but if I tell Daddy then he might."

"Like I said before you can't kill someone who's already dead."

"Just tell me Sydney. I'm worried."

"For the last couple of months Jarod has had a stalker. Whoever this is keeps on leaving red a rose on his doorstep whenever he went to a new lair. Today was the first day that the person who is doing this came inside the lair."

"Did you tell him that we can protect him here?"

"He said that he's not coming back. That he's not that scared."
