Deal with the Devil Part 2
"I will tell you my name handsome" Jem said. "My name is..." Jem paused as Glenn anticipated her next words "First another drink."
Glenn almost fainted "You got to be kidding me." Glenn poured another drink into Jem's glass this time without the pill "here you go."
"Just give me a moment and I will tell you my name" Jem said as started to drink some more.
Just than behind Jem a person appeared, someone Glenn knew very well.
"Karen" Glenn said "that is impossible."
Karen than said "big brother why are you doing this, this is not like you at all big brother."
"I am doing this for us, doing this for you, because of my careless behavior I lost the locket you gave me, a symbol of our love for one another, the reminder of the bond we share" Glenn responded.
"You don't need the locket for that big brother that is inside your heart that is something no one can take away from you. Please big brother stop this now, you know better than that, if you continue on this path, you will forever be someone else and not the man I so proudly call big brother, and more importantly someone you cannot be proud of" Karen said.
"You are right Karen" Glenn said "manipulating and drugging this innocent young lady, using and lying to her friends, all in a plot to find out her secret that is her business and her business alone, and selling it to a slime ball like Eric Raymond who will use that secret for evil purposes, I don't deserve that locket anymore, I don't deserve for you to be call me big brother, I am sorry Karen, I am sorry Jem, I am sorry Holograms" Glenn started to cry.
"Don't be so hard on yourself, the important thing is you realized your mistakes before it was too late" Karen said.
"You are right it is not too late to make this right" Glenn said
"And please stop blaming yourself for what happened to me, it is not your fault Glenn" Karen said.
"Okay I will, Glenn responded "Karen why did you appear just now?
"You asked me to; remember Glenn a couple of days ago."
Glenn remembered on the day Eric blackmailed him, when he was deciding if he would take up Eric on his offer, he said he needed Karen more than he ever needed her before, well she finally answered his call.
"Well now that my work is done, I have to go" Karen said.
"No sis don't go, don't leave me again" Glenn said.
"I am sorry big brother I have to go" Karen said.
"Well at least this time, let me say goodbye to you the way I wished I did on the day you died." Glenn said.
"Okay" Karen said.
"Goodbye Karen thank you for being the best sister a guy could ever have ask for, thank you for always brighten up my day and no matter how I felt make me felt great to be your big brother, thank you for everything Karen, I love you" Glenn said tearfully.
"Goodbye Glenn I love you too" Karen said "and please watch over and protect Pizzazz, don't forget the living big brother, I may be gone, but there is a girl that still needs you, and call mom and dad and talk to them like they used to, they miss you; you are not a burden on them. Till we meet again big brother, oni-chan sayonara." Karen blows Glenn a kiss as she disappears.
"Okay I am ready to tell you handsome" Jem said "my real name is…"
"Wait I can't do this" Glenn says "Jem would you go to sleep."
"Sure if that is what you want" Jem says as she than passes out.
Glenn looks over at Jem "Jem this is all my fault I am so sorry what have I done to you."
Eric sits in his office looking over some paperwork, when though the door busted in Glenn.
"Raymond we need to talk" Glenn shouts.
"Mr. Danson how nice to see you, I hope you have for me Glenn's true identity, for your sister's sake you better" Eric says with the grin.
Glenn than punches Eric in the noise and says "Listen you piece of slime, don't you ever bring up my sister like that again, got it" Eric nodded with a fearful expression "I don't have Jem's true identity, and don't plan on trying find out for you anymore. Raymond the deal is off."
"You can't do that, no one crosses Eric Raymond and gets away with it" Eric says.
"Well I just did, you blackmailed me tried to use my love for my sister to sell you my soul, I will never forgive you for what you did, but I also will never forgive myself for what I have done, this deal of ours I felt like I sold my soul to the devil himself and that devil is you Eric Raymond" Glenn said.
"Is that supposed to hurt my feelings" Eric said.
Glenn grabs Eric by his suit and says "While I didn't find out Jem's true identity, I did find out a few things, I found out that Jem and the Holograms are wonderful women, who didn't deserve what I did to them, they are no different than the Misfits. I know you are the main reason for this feud between the Misfits and the Holograms, when they find out what I did to them, Jem and the Holograms will probably never speak to me again, but I will do what I can to undo what you have caused and end this stupid feud."
"Good luck with that" Eric said with an evil smirk.
"I will make sure you pay for your crimes Eric, and go down once and for all." Glenn let go of Eric and stormed out of the room.
"You will pay for this Danson you will pay for this, first I will start by destroying that locket you hold so dear" Glenn took out his safe, he opened it and said "what the hell is this, the locket is gone." Eric pounded his fist on his disk and said "whoever is responsible for this is going to pay dearly."
The Holograms who went shopping with some of the Starlight girls arrived back at the Starlight house, when they entered the house they were shocked at what they saw, it was Jem passed out on the couch.
"Oh my god Jem" Kimber said as the Holograms all gathered around her.
"Kimber get her some water" Aja said.
"Right" Kimber said as she went to the kitchen to get some water.
"Is Jem going to be all right?" Ashley asked as the other Starlight girls looked worried.
"She will be fine" Aja said "she just passed out, you and the other Starlight girls should go to the room and leave everything to us."
"Okay" Ashley said as she, Deidre, Becky, Nancy, Krissie, and Terri all went to their rooms.
Kimber returned with a glass of water and said "Here you go sis" she than manually had Jem drink the water, and poured some of it in Jem's eyes which revived her.
"Where I am" Jem said "what happened?"
"That is what we want to know" Shanna said.
"Last thing I remember I was talking to Glenn, we were drinking and then everything went blank."
"It appears to me you have been drugged" Aja said.
"Drugged that doesn't sound like something Glenn would do" Kimber said.
"Well the symptoms point to being drugged" Aja responded.
Just than Delaree, JoEllen, and Marianna entered, Delaree said "oh your back"
"Yeah we're back" Kimber said "when we got back we found Jem passed out, you know anything about it."
"Yes we do, mister Danson brought her here" JoEllen said.
"He said she had too much to drink, so he cut short their lunch date" Marianna said.
"Anything else you want to know?" Delaree said.
"No that's fine" Aja said as Delaree, JoEllen, and Marianna went to their rooms.
"I don't know what happened" Jem said.
"Maybe this will answer our questions" Kimber said pointing to an envelope on the coffee table.
Jem took the envelope and read what it said "To Jem and the Holograms"
Glenn returned to his house after his talk with Eric, as he approached his door, he noticed something.
"The door is open" Glenn said "if that is Raymond's goons again, they won't get out of here alive."
Glenn slowly walked into his house, looking for any intruders, "it can't be" Glenn said as he looked at his coffee, it was is locket, Glenn grabbed the locket "who could have done this?"
"Lose something?" someone from behind Glenn said.
Glenn screamed in shock, he turned around and it was Pizzazz. "Pizzazz it's you."
"I found something that belongs to you and thought I thought I drop by and return it to you" Pizzazz said pointing at the locket "you should be more careful next time."
"But how" Glenn asked.
"That fool Eric should know that I know his safe combination" Pizzazz said.
"Pizzazz you little sneak" Glenn said as he smiled at her he then hugged her and said tearfully "thank you very much Phyllis".
Jem opened the envelop and inside the envelope there was a hand written letter.
"What does is say?" Kimber asked.
"Let me read it and find out" Jem said.
"Sorry" Kimber said.
Jem read the letter which said.
Dear Jem and the Holograms:
With great shame I write this letter to inform the last couple of days I was using you to find out Jem's true identity for Eric Raymond. I understand if you never forgive me, frankly I don't think I can ever forgive myself. But be relieved in knowing I couldn't go through with it.
Eric Raymond took something very important to me and used it to blackmail me into finding out Jem's true name and giving it to him, I am sorry.
I know you probably will not believe me, but the day we spent Holograms was fun, and though I originally intended as a plot to find more about Jem, getting to know you all was truly enriching to me, and I hope that this news does not ruining the memories of that day.
And to Jem words cannot express how sorry I am for what I did to you, it was unforgiveable terrible act, my plot to find out your real name almost worked, but in the end I couldn't go through with it.
While you probably will never want anything to do with me again, I acted alone, the Misfits had nothing to do with it. I say that after getting to know you all, that you and the Misfits are not that different, and hope that one day you all can put aside your differences and be friends. Granted there are differences, but I think if you give each other a chance, you could be friends.
Now I have to deal with Eric Raymond myself, and I will do what I can to take him down once and for all. Once again I am so sorry.
Sincerely,
Glenn Danson
"Wow I can't believe it" Kimber said.
"He was using us the whole time, I am so mad" Aja said.
"As mad as you are, I doubt we are as mad as Glenn is at himself" Jem said.
"How do we know if what he says is true, for all we know he could know your true identity and told Eric, and this letter is a rouse to throw us off?" Aja asked.
"He doesn't know Jem's true identity" a voice said, and out from Jem's earrings appeared a purple haired purple skinned women dressed in purple.
"Synergy" Jem said.
"I was there and I saw exactly what happened" Synergy said "that man drugged Jem as part of a plot to find out her true identity, had that happened there was a danger of my existence being revealed to the public, fortunately I sensed his heart was crying, he was crying for somebody, so I created a Hologram of that person he was crying out for, and gave that Hologram the ability to speak and say what that person would say."
"How did you know what person he was crying for" Jem asked.
"I didn't in fact I didn't know who that person would be or that person would say, that was for that man's heart and the person he was crying out for to decide" Synergy said. "It was as if he was really talking to that person. So don't worry our secret is safe."
"Thanks Synergy" Jem said as Synergy disappared.
"That is a relief, but still if Eric had him in some trouble, why didn't he come to us for help" Kimber said.
"We can't judge him too harshly, after all I remember when we were in a similar situation when Eric held mom's master tapes hostage" Jem said.
"Still we could have helped him" Kimber said.
"So I guess you know the truth about Eric" Glenn said.
"Yes I knew he was a liar and cheat, I thought that is what we needed, but now I know how insane that man is, you were right all along about him" Pizzazz said.
"Finally after all these years, you have come to your senses I knew you would" Glenn said, he grabbed Pizzazz and flung her in the air excitedly and said "let's celebrate" however Pizzazz had a sad look on her face, realizing this Glenn put her down "what's wrong, if it is your contract with Eric, we will find a way out of it."
"It is not that" Pizzazz said "with my dad's money, I can easily get out of any contract."
"Then what is it?" Glenn asked now starting to worry "everything is finally perfect, you have seen the light, I have my locket back, you wouldn't believe who I talked to today, but I finally some inner peace, what else could possibly be wrong."
"It is not that simple Glenn" Pizzazz said "Eric is slime, but for the last few years I have been just as big of a slime ball as he is."
"That's not true" Glenn said.
"Yes it is, but that is not all, you tried to help me and warn about him, but I wouldn't listen, you have always been there for me, and how do I repay you, I accuse you of being jealous, I accuse you of being against me, I yell and berate you. Glenn you are a wonderful guy, you by the far being the kindest and nicest man I have ever known, you don't the drama that I provide, you deserve better than me" Pizzazz said with tears in her eyes.
"What are you saying Phyllis, are you kidding after what I have the last couple of days, I am just as bad" Glenn said. "we can feel bad about ourselves together."
"Don't kid yourself, doing something out of blackmail when you know your heart it is wrong, does not equal years of doing wrong and not knowing better, being selfish and only caring about yourself" Pizzazz said "remember when you told me if I wanted to I could fire you as my friend, well I resign as your friend."
"No don't do this Phyllis please" Glenn begged.
Pizzazz kissed Glenn on the cheek and said "trust me you will find someone that deserves you more than me, years for now you will be married have kids and realize that me being out of your life is the best thing that ever happened to you."
"You are wrong, I have been with women from both sides of the Pacific, but they are all boring compared to you" Glenn said. Pizzazz walked out the door and started to walk away.
"Glenn you are sweet, but in time you will realize this is for the best, goodbye Glenn" Pizzazz said as slowly started to fade away from Glenn's view with a tear in her eye.
Glenn stood at his front door step, he thought of chasing after Pizzazz but for some reason he couldn't move, as if he knew there was nothing he could do, all he could do was yell "Phyllis comeback."
The black and white security video showed Eric Raymond's safe as Eric looked on "okay let's see who is the culprit" Eric waited and waited when someone appeared, opened the safe and took out the locket "I don't believe it" Eric said "it was you Pizzazz" Eric pounded his fist on the table and said "Pizzazz you are the last person I would suspect of betrayal, but that is it I am done playing nice, you are all going to pay."
End of chapter I hope you enjoyed this chapter and continue to review.
