"You had a conversation with my dad?" I asked.
Getting any answer would have been extremely difficult. Ranger was in his trance.
"Ranger.....RANGER!!! HELLO?" I called, waving my hand up and down.
He glared at me via the rear-view mirror with slight amusement on his face. I crossed my arms and leaned against the door the best I could. Ranger's super-cars had super-seat belts. My only guess was that they were used if the car went into super-hero mode and flew. I smiled at the thought.
"Yes, Babe. We talked about my car." He said finally, the amusement still in his voice.
"And that's all?" I knew it wasn't, we both knew.
"You know it's not. I'm sure you know by now that that's all I'm going to tell you." The amusement was suddenly drained.
Oh crap! Had I made him mad? Not a good idea to make Ranger mad.
"Geez." I sighed and turned to face the window.
"Babe, come on." He pleaded, sounding more like Joe than himself.
"Ranger........" I whined, looking at him.
"I can't be the one to tell you." He said, pulling off the road.
"What do you mean, you can't tell me?" I said, still in my mood.
"Are you angry with me?"
"No. I just want some answers!"
He smiled, and pulled off the shoulder back into traffic. What did he mean, he couldn't tell me?
"Suppose you did tell me, would you have to kill me?"
"No. I am not telling you." He said sternly.
"This is pissing me off!" I exclaimed and returned to my angry position.
When we got out of the car, Ranger headed straight for the door, not bothering to wait for me. He didn't hold the door open like he usually did. He waited in the elevator, only because I had no way of getting myself into his apartment.
He stood in the corner of the elevator, his back pressed on the wall, his arms folded across his chest.
"We're two completely different people, you realize that right?" Ranger asked.
I nodded.
"I know something that just might make your life a living nightmare, and you're so persistent on finding out." He stated plainly, looking into my eyes. "I know a whole lot, but that's one thing I can't figure out about you."
"Ranger, is this going to get my the answer to my question or isn't it. I'm really confused!" I whined as the doors slid open.
"Babe." The stare was like a knife, wedged between my ears. "It...uh..." He sighed.
"What, Ranger?" He was never at a loss for words.
"You'll find out soon enough." He finished and opened the door to his apartment.
Like usual, I had to back down and let Ranger run away. Thats what he seemed to do alot.
