It had been a month or so and their life of hiding out now seemed normal. They had become accustom to this lifestyle and had almost forgotten it wasn't their normal lifestyle until Frank said or did something that reminded them that this wasn't normal. They weren't happy with the situation but they weren't miserable in it. In fact, Joey liked it a lot more than her previous lifestyle. She got to be who she was with two people who understood her, two people who liked her and two people who accepted her, it was great to her.
One day when Janet was shopping she suddenly felt an unease about the place wash over her. She decided to ignore it and continue shopping until she saw what, or who, was making her uneasy. At the end of the isle was standing a tall greying and balding man wearing mainly black, he had a face you couldn't forget. Janet swallowed her fear and continued and as she suspected Riff Raff followed her.
"Where are they Janet?" He said as he walked with her as she did he shopping.
"Well hello Riff Raff, I haven't seen you in gosh, maybe eighteen years. You look well, better then back then actually." She said with fake niceness as she stopped to get a cereal Chris asked for. It was too high up for her so Riff, surprisingly, got it down for her.
"Thank you," He said, "You look good too bu-"
"How's Magenta?" Janet asked, avoiding his questioning. Riff looked confused and paused before answering.
"She's good. Doesn't like being back on Earth… Janet where are-"
"Oh no, you two never did like it here did you." She said. Janet got some stuff on the shelf put them in the trolley and went to continue when a bony hand grabbed hold of hers. She felt fear run down her body.
"Janet, answer me. Where are the children and Frank N. Furter?" Riff Raff said very slowly looking into her eyes. By the look of Riff Raff's eyes he hadn't slept in about a month. Maybe it was the job he was on or maybe something else had been getting to him, who knows? Janet swallowed her fear and with her other had grabbed Riff Raff's hand and pulled it off her own. She continued down the isles and said with no emotion.
"I don't know."
"Yes you do."
"No. I haven't seen them since the day your fellow Transylvanians barged their way into my house thankyou very much! Was that your doing?"
"Yes."
"Well thankyou very much for scaring my son off and now he could be anywhere. If he and his friends are hurt it's your fault." Riff seemed to believe Janet for a second and seemed to dwell on what she said for a while before deciding it was a lie. He had paused before and now had to jog a little to catch up to Janet. Janet rolled her eyes. Riff Raff was a tough one to get rid of.
"Mrs. Majors," Riff started, "I am not the little butler you thought I was in that castle eighteen years ago. I am a highly trained Transylvanian officer and you can't fool me so easily. I know you have the children and Frank. All I'm interested in is Tom and Frank, the others will be left alone and I will not hurt Tom as long as you tell me where they are now. I suggest you do not mess with me any longer. Where. Are. They?" Janet gulped, she was scared, Riff Raff was very intimidating, but there was no way she was going to let Transylvanians near Tom, his friends or Frank.
"I am sorry Riff Raff," Janet said, "I am not telling you where they are, I am not letting you take my son or his father away and I am not letting you anywhere near any of them as you are a dangerous person and I wouldn't trust you with anything." God it felt good to be the tough one for once and not hide behind Brad. Riff Raff thought about this for a moment, then his crystal blue eyes narrowed on Janet.
"Fine." He whispered, "Fine." Louder, "But I will get your son and Frank, mark my words. You can't stay hidden forever. Oh and if you're buying food for the children don't buy that chocolate, it says it has nuts in it, there's a good chance that at least one of them is allergic to nuts." With that final note he turned to walk away until Janet called after him.
"Who?" She called, "Joey?" Riff Raff's retreating frame froze and slowly turned around to face Janet. "She's a good kid Riff Raff," Janet continued, "Very smart, got put up a year in her school and she's absolutely beautiful, I can see Magenta in her eyes but her smile is definitely yours. You should be proud of her." Riff looked to the ground, he looked both happy and sad, almost tearing up, at the same time. He looked back up at Janet gave her a twitch of a smile and started walking off in a faster pace again. Janet felt sorry for him. His daughter obviously meant something to him but for some reason he and Magenta had chosen not to be in Joey's life. It was their fault they missed out on her though.
As Riff Raff walked out of the shopping centre a small smile came onto his lips. "Put up a year in school…" He whispered to himself. "That's my girl."
Janet returned to the hotel room with the groceries and was greeted by many variations of the word hello coming from everyone. Brad got up to help Janet, she pulled him to the side.
"Joey is Riff Raff and Magenta's." She whispered to him.
"How do you know?"
"I ran into Riff Raff, he gave me a tip about Joey. Watch this." She cleared her voice and spoke loudly "Excuse me, Joey, are you allergic to nuts?" Joey looked up from her handheld game at nodded at Janet.
"Yeah, found out a little while ago, quite badly really." She said.
"Okay, thankyou Joey, dear." Janet said then gave Brad a 'what did I tell you' look. Brad mimed the word "wow" and Janet nodded. "We need to be out of here by tonight." Janet said out loud. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her. "I ran into Riff Raff at the shopping centre, he's fresh on our tail so we have to get out of here." Scared looks were exchanged. "Don't worry everyone, we'll just go to a different city, right Brad?"
"Yeah. But where?"
"How about Vegas?" Joey said.
"But we can't do anything in Vegas." Tom said, who had his arm around her.
"My point exactly, we have no reason to leave the hotel room so it will be harder to find us and we'll only be there a while, then we got to New York for a few weeks and then maybe California or change countries, I'm thinking England." Everyone looked dumbfounded at her.
"My sweetheart." Frank said, "You've got this all planned out, haven't you?"
"Since the first night here." She said proudly.
"I love girls with both a body and brains." Frank flirted, Joey blushed.
"Wow, hold on there Frankie," Tom said, 'She's mine." He pulled Joey closer to him and they kissed.
"AH! Get a room!" Steph, with her newly pink hair for "disguise", called out.
"They're in a room." Chris stated. Silence from Steph as she glared at him.
"Anyway," Brad said, "That sounds like a plan to me." He said, "What do you think Janet?"
"I say we pack tonight, good thinking Joey."
