Knocking On Heaven´s Door Leave The Devil Outside Chapter 3, a pretender fanfic

Chapter 3

Hey, I wrote this in the middle of the night after watching the first Pretender movie with my family (Huh, you can't imagine how BAD the German translation is! They totally shattered all the plays of words…)

So this may be… (YAWN)…Never mind…Enjoy!

I'm sorry for making Ethan a gossip – I just couldn't resist LOL

…

"What…is the matter with him?" Major Charles asked when his sons got back and the older one immediately disappeared into his room.

"Well…"Ethan made sure Zoe wasn't around before he continued. "He has to talk to Sydney. He's worried about Miss Parker…"

"That woman only causes trouble! Em told me you two went to find out whether she was in danger cause someone wanted to kill her?"

"Yeah, but when she opened the door she was quite alive. A little tired and pissed off but very much alive." Ethan told his father with a grin.

The Major's eyes widened "You went into her house? Are you completely out of your mind? She could have killed you!"

Ethan didn't know why, but he felt he needed to tell his father the details. Just like in every ordinary family tattle was something wonderful.

"Oh, my sister was a little too busy to get the both of us out of her house as fast as possible. I brought my siblings in some kind of… embarrassing situation…accidentally. Of course I didn't know about that moment on that island so I thought it was fun to drop a hint about Jarod caring for her… Guess I was wrong. Though it was funny for me, it sure as hell wasn't for them."

Even more worried, Major Charles interrogated "What kind of moment do you mean!"

"Well…" Ethan made sure nobody listened again – if Zoe was around he would cause a lot more trouble than he did by telling Major Charles about the almost-kiss – before whispering "He and Miss Parker almost kissed! She's trying to forget it and he's trying to change that…I can't help it…I think that's cute."

Staring at his son in disbelief, the Major let out a shocked "Please tell me you're kidding!"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Sydney? This is Jarod. I need to talk to you."

"Jarod! I hoped you'd phone me. You're okay? You sound like something heavy was on your mind?" Sydney knew him well enough.

"It's about Parker. Is there someone trying to kill her?" Jarod asked, concerned.

"No. At least I don't know about something like that…Why are you asking?"

"Ethan's Inner sense told him so. We…well; when we saw her I recognized something strange. I have to ask you. Is Miss Parker taking any… any drugs?"

Sydney hesitated. Parker had behaved different since she was back from Carthis, but considering of everything she had been trough…"Drugs?" he took a deep breath. Was it possible that Parker tried to kill all the pain with drugs?

"Ethan and I went to her house to see if she was okay and she looked really stoned." Jarod sighted "Please look after her Sydney. I don't want anything to happen to her."

Jarod hung up and left a confused Sydney. Jarod and Miss Parker behaved very strange. And what was about that drug thing? He checked his watch. In less than 12 hours we would be able to have a talk to Miss Parker.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When Parker entered her office, she was in a bad mood yet. Still haunted by the headache, she had had to take further pills only to find herself feeling worse and worse. She felt so very frail and helpless that she began to doubt about those pills. Why the hell didn't they help? With a cup of coffee in her hands – it was the fourth one today – she sat down.

She had almost fallen asleep when she recognized Sydney standing suddenly in front of her and managed a tired"Morning Syd…"

Sydney gave her a worried look. Parker looked very pale and ill. "Are you okay? "

"I'm fine. Just didn't sleep well. This headache is still haunting me and those pills I got from one of our doctors are as useful as coffee and scotch. They're making me feel kinda frail."

"What pills? " Sydney asked, thinking that this might be the answer. Since Raines was running the Centre people were even less trustworthy than before.

"Huh? Syd, you were the one who told me to visit a doc. I did. I went down to them and they gave me those pills." Parker didn't know what he wanted.

"Could I have one of them?" Sydney asked her.

"Why?" she wondered what was going on with Sydney.

"I…I'm having a headache myself." he lied, knowing that she'd refuse to give him one if he told her about his true worries about the pills.

"Okay…" Parker, knowing he lied but not why, slowly gave him one.

"Thank you." with that he left the office to find out what it really was that was in those pills.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A couple of hours later, Broots was joining Sydney who was on his way to have lunch "Did you give something to the lab lately?"

Sydney turned to Broots immediately "I did. Did they give the results to you!"

"Indeed. But whatever you gave them: it's quite heavy. Take it longer than a week and you will hear the angels sing. What a mix of nasty substances!" he gave him a piece of paper.

Sydney just stared at it "Oh my god…"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

… To be continued:P Iknow this was a very short one...next one´s gonna be longer, promise!

Romantic part is coming...soon...LOL
