PARKER RESIDENCE

“What!” Miss Parker the huntress answered the phone at her bedside in her usual abrupt manner.

 

 “Parker you really need to work on your telephone skills.” Jarod the hunted replied.

 

She groaned, “What do you want!”

 

“Just to talk.”

 

“At this time of night!”

 

“What other time is there.” He asked innocently. “You ever watch a TV show called JAG?”

”What?” She was thrown buy the change in topic.

 

“JAG? Do you watch it on TV?” He repeated.

 

“NO.”

 

“How about Star Trek: The Next Generation or TNG as they call it.”

 

“No.”

 

“Parker get a life!” he teased.

 

“Until I catch you and return you to the Center I have no social life.” She informed him.

 

“Whose talking about a social life?” he replied. “I’m talking about unwinding in front a TV with some cheese cake.”

 

“No Jarod I don’t watch JAG Trek.” She said.

 

“Its JAG and Star Trek.” He corrected. “I had a pretend to do where I lectured on the media and how it portrayed relationships and I focused on these two shows.  You know they both have very strong women just like you.”

 

“Me?”

 

“Don’t be modest now. Apart from our mothers you are the probably the strongest woman I know.”

 

“You don’t know our mothers.” She stated.

 

“True but I know of them and your mother was and my mother is as strong woman.”

 

“What else is there?” She wanted to get him of the track of mothers.

 

“In common?”

 

“Yes between the shows.”

 

“They are military. There’s even a character that looks like you. At first I thought that it may have been you… but it wasn’t.”

 

“Go on.” She encouraged.

 

“They both have a strong unrequited love theme.  Did you know there actually support groups out there? I joined one…”

 

“Of course you did.” She interjected.

 

“Grrr!” He replied, “So close are the shows that one groups emerged called Parallel Hearts. You see on TNG there is Commander William Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi while on JAG there is Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. and Lt. Colonel Sarah Mackenzie.  Regardless of the show every one I mean everyone knows they belong together except of course them.”

 

She was silent.

 

 “Miss Parker?” She called.

 

“Yes Jarod, I’m here.”

 

“Why so quiet?” he asked.

 

“It seems to familiar.” She replied. “I’ll bet that in both cases one is in love and the other doesn’t have a clue.”

 

“Yes!” He got excited “How’d you know?”

 

“It’s formula TV.” She sounded sad.

 

“Why do you sound so sad?”

 

“Cause I’ve been there and its not a nice place to be.” She revealed.

 

“No I suppose not.” He agreed. Suddenly the conversation lost its appeal. “Parker?”

 

“Yes Jarod?”

“Sorry I called so late.” He apologized.

 

“That’s ok.  Good night.” She hung up and caressed the handset. “Be safe my love.” She switched off the bedside lamp and went to sleep.

 

Jarod stared at the phone even though he’s hung up. “Sweet dreams my love.”
