Ch. 2 Blowing the Sign's Off

(Two weeks later)

"Hey TK!" Darren said as he flipped through a large textbook on his desk.

"O… hey Darren" TK replied a little shocked by seeing Darren at work earlier than him. "What… what time did you get here?"

"I got here…" Then quickly glancing at his watch, Darren continued "A little after 2 this morning, why?" Then rolling his chair over to a laptop a few feet away, he began typing something into it.

"A little after TWO this morning!" TK said shocked as he glanced down at his watch. "It's almost 4… you've been here for over two hours already. What's the problem can't sleep?"

"Well it's apart of it." Darren replied as he broke his concentration from his laptop and turned to TK. "The other half is… I've been tracking a disturbance over the Atlantic Ocean for a few days, and well… it hasn't developed into…"

"You showed up to watch a small storm that's moving over the ocean hundreds of miles away." TK said still shocked by Darren's poor excuse for showing up extremely early.

"Come on, at least let me finish."

"OK, but there isn't any excuse to get to work that early." TK replied as he slowly made his way over to the other side of the desk.

"I know." Darren replied a little sarcastic. "I can't help it, I still following up on the research I worked on a few years ago." Darren said then turning back to his laptop while beginning to start typing again.

"You studied hurricanes and there affect on our weather, but the storm your looking at is trivial to most weak hurricanes." TK replied as he looked at the LCD screen on his laptop Darren was looking at.

"Hey, I lived back in 1991 when the Unnamed Hurricane or the actual Perfect Storm struck the North East because of a Nor' Easter. That disturbance was just as big as big as this one. Anyway, a low cold front from Canada has been tracking to the east, and a few of the models I've been putting together possibly have them intersecting like back in 1991."

"Darren…" TK said as he put his hand on Darren's shoulder. "That storm was a once and a life time phenomenon. I haven't heard anything about another storm of that caliber even being mentioned by AMS or NOAA's weekly and daily emails." Then walking over to his desk TK said. "I've read a majority of your research and a storm from that angle can't affect us out here." Then as he sat down TK began jotting some notes from the satellite loop from the night before. "Right now let's just worry about the artic blast that could be coming this way."

After a bit, Darren rolled his eyes and pulled over to one of the computer stations in the weather center. As it finally booted up he began starting working on the five-day forecast along with studying numbers from the Doppler radar's readings.

After 15 minutes, a small email notification popped up TK's screen. Looking at the address after a few times it finally dawned on him, "Matt" he whispered to himself as he opened the email. On the top was the usual insignia of his band along with the usual greeting "Hey little bro,"

I wonder what he wants. TK thought as he began reading the email.

Hey little bro,

What's up! I heard that that one of the major networks is going to make a movie of something you wrote, congrats. Wondering why I know this, well… I have connections with many of the networks and well the network that's making the movie, I'm good friends with one of the top executives. Moreover, he had a favor to make up, which is beside the point, so I was asked if I wanted to write some of the music for Chasing the Perfect Storm. Don't worry I won't let you down and can't wait to see you on the set in a week.

Thanks,

Matt

I'll never understand how he can have so many connections with almost any network. TK thought as he saved the email on the computer. Just then, another email popped up. After looking at the address, it was Darren a just a few feet away. As he opened it, the detailed five-day forecast was laid out in front of him. OK let's see what he put together. Monday, partly sunny with chance of showers late high 50 low 23, Tuesday same, Wednesday same except for overcast skies, Thursday, temps are dipping into the lower 30's for highs, and Halloween, good chance of measurable snow high 31 low 0.

Then turning around TK said in slight disbelief, "Darren, you're predicting measurable snow on Halloween this far out. There have been only a few times that this state has had snow that early. Anyway even reading Farmers almanac they're not even predicting a repeat of those bizarre occurrences let alone even a normal cold winter. Above average that's what I've read."

"Hey that's what my models are showing for a forecast along with looking at trends from past years." Darren replied defending his forecast as he still crunched numbers and patterns on the computer screen.

"OK then, you're going to be the one who presents the forecast to the viewers." TK said sarcastically as he finished up on reviewing the satellite loop.

"Fine! It at least it should give me a little more practice in front of the camera." Darren shouted as he turned around his face bright red from all of TK's smart-aleck remarks.

"What's wrong?" TK said as he turned around to face his pissed of coworker.

"Come on… you don't get it." Darren said as he spun around in his chair and looked angrily at TK.

A confused look overcame TK's face, "What do you mean?"

"I know that Chasing the Perfect Storm is going to be made into a movie for primetime next year. The few rumors going around about Kari and you staring in it were confirmed this morning. All I can say is; don't let it get to your head. I've worked here a few more years than you, and also I have a higher and more respectable degree. So, at least give me some respect for that and my work." Then getting up before TK could say anything in his defense, Darren got up and stormed off to down the hallway.

(At home later that night)

"What's wrong, TK?" Kari asked as she saw TK walk into the house with a long face.

"Hey Kari," TK said as he pecked her on the cheek. "I'm fine, how was the University?" Then trying to hide his frustration, TK walked over to the counter where a pile of mail was sitting.

"O… pretty good, come on TK what's wrong?" Kari replied as she hung her arms around TK's body while he flipped through the pile of mail.

"Work stress." TK said trying to look relaxed.

"Hey TK," Patamon squeaked as he walked into the room with Gatomon right along side of him.

"Hey pal, hey Gatomon." TK answered as flashes of the argument between Darren and him, began replaying with vivid detail in his mind.

"You showed up to watch a small storm that's moving over the ocean hundreds of miles away."

"Come on, at least let me finish."

"OK, but there isn't any excuse to get to work that early."

"Hey, I lived back in 1991 when the Unnamed Hurricane or the actual Perfect Storm struck the North East because of a Nor' Easter. That disturbance was just as big as big as this one."

"Darren, you're predicting measurable snow on Halloween this far out. There have been only a few times that this state has had snow that early."

"Hey that's what my models are showing for a forecast along with looking at trends from past years."

"OK then, you're going to be the one who presents the forecast to the viewers."

"Fine! It at least it should give me a little more practice in front of the camera."

"What's wrong?"

"Come on… you don't get it."

"What do you mean?"

"I've worked here a few more years than you, and also I have a higher and more respectable degree. So, at least give me some respect for that and my work."

After a bit, TK wiped his hand over his face trying to erase the stubborn memory.

"Are you OK?" Kari asked as the replay finally let up.

"I got to get some sleep." TK blankly stated as he walked off to his room, after giving Kari a kiss good night.

Thanks for reading, besure to leave a review and tell me what you think.
