This is a continuation of the story I wrote last week. See Part 1 of the story here.
These are the words for this week:
blasted*, withered*, derelict*, broken*, chained*, and ground*
and/or
fresh*, growing*, alive*, active*, hope,* and dreams*.
"You might as well chain me inside a prison cell," she whispered, her voice failing her, "kick me to the ground...."
"Well," Redhead drawled, "Aren't we full of self-pity? Seems like some loser guy blasted the hell out of you...."
"Peter Vanderhoof," Sherry gulped,"Broke his promises, took all my savings, left me derelict...."
"Who did you say?" Redhead said, her face transforming from angry cop to sympathy in a flash.
"Peter Vanderhoof," Sherry stopped crying, surprised at the cop's reaction.
"Tall, blonde, fortyish?" Redhead asked in a withering voice, glancing down at the licence. Sherry nodded. "Oh my, Ms. Sherry MacDonald, you need to exit this car of yours right now."
Sherry, trembling, got out of the car. Redhead held out her hand for the keys.
"We're going to call you a cab. And you're going to meet me at Jasper's Cafe in 15 minutes. I'm going to say you were sick rather than drunk. You have a chance for a fresh start here. A chance to come alive again."
Sherry's head spun. She obediently fumbled her mobile out of her purse, Redhead took it and called a cab.
"My name is Patsy Kline, and don't start with that song Crazy or you'll kill any hope of redemption tonight." And she laughed.
Sherry waited and watched as a cab pulled up beside them, not daring to say a word.
"My dream has been to catch that wretched crook predator scumbag Peter. And you've re-activated that old file for me. Do I have a story to tell you at Jasper's!"
Ooooh ...... and we want to hear that story.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where Mumblings is going to steer this story?

Now that was a plot twister if ever I saw one. I hope next week's words will bring us a third half of this story ;)
ReplyDeleteThird and four halves, perhaps, depending on Mumblings.
