[Private to Miss Parker]

[it is 3:18 am]

[Jarod will be holding up his walkman with the recorded sound of a phone ringing to the communicator]

Comments

[yourunichase]

I guess so.

[A pause]

How'd you know I never told him?

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

The things that link us together like a chain, Miss Parker. Circles don't end, even if we want them to.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Why don't you call me when you get the cliffnotes verison of your theories, Jarod? It'll save a hell of a lot of time.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

It might be another early morning call. Or is it late night? It's really all in how you see it.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Late night. You're god damn lucky I'm alone, you know.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

[short, awkward silence]

I didn't know inmates were allowed to have...roommates.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

[A low laugh]

I know you better than that, Jarod-the-gigolo.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

The Centre kept me isolated for most of my young adulthood, I thought I'd branch out.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

So, I never asked. Did you enjoy it? All the stupid little adventures you went on.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Do you care?

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Pretend I do.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

[he lets out a very small laugh]

[then, very, utterly seriously:] I loved every moment of my freedom.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Even the parts where I almost had you?

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

The "almost" was the best part.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Why do you call me so much, Jarod?

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Why do you answer the phone when I call, Miss Parker?

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Stop answering a question with a question.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Have you forgotten my attitude about taking orders?

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Jarod, I don't forget anything about you.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Be careful, Miss Parker. You're starting to act like you care.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Go to hell, Jarod.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Aren't we already there?

[voice]

[yourunichase]

[Have unexpected laughter.]

That's my line, god damn it.

[voice]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

[surprised, but he's smiling now, rather than smirking]

Good to hear you laugh, Miss Parker. It's been a while.

[voice]

[yourunichase]

Yeah, well, I've had a long time away from you.
