Bijoux | Thursday, May 10, 2001 - 04:20 pm  But he paused a moment. Was it really Jeff? He looked closer; and strangely the man in front of him stood silent. "That's not Jeff," said Jenna. "No it isn't," said Terry, and then, "Who are you?" "Who's Jeff?" he replied "And what are you doing on my island? I'll ask the questions around here." Startled, Jenna and Terry didn't know what to say. Just then Jenna's stomach gave another loud rumble. The expression on the man's face softened. He could see that they had slept outdoors and were hungry. Quietly he picked up some bowls and started to ladle the soup into them. ______________________ "Well, I'm definitely not Jeff" he answered. He then held out his hand to them, "My name is Anthony and I could sure use your help." |

Just then Jenna's stomach gave another loud rumble. The expression on the man's face softened. He could see that they had slept outdoors and were hungry. Quietly he picked up some bowls and started to ladle the soup into them. He looked at the two of them, studying them both very carefully, as they ate the soup. So who is Jeff, and why did you call me by that name ? But most importantly who the hell are you, and where did you come from ? ______________________ After Terry and Jenna ate the soup they thanked him, and began explaining to the Man, they had mistaken him for a friend of theirs who he closely resembled. But in the back of both of their minds they knew this was Jeff. Terry was were wondering why Jeff was lying about who he was, and couldn't wait until he and Jenna was alone so they could compare notes. Terry thought to himself he must be trying to hide from someone or something. |

Terry was were wondering why Jeff was lying about who he was, and couldn't wait until he and Jenna was alone so they could compare notes. Terry thought to himself he must be trying to hide from someone or something. Jenna asked to be excused and went into the woods to "powder her nose", as soon as she left Jeff began to speak. -------------------- Jeff smiled at Terry and Jenna and said, "Hold on, I have something to show you" and walked behind the curtain. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, May 11, 2001 - 06:19 am  Jeff smiled at Terry and Jenna and said, "Hold on, I have something to show you" and walked behind the curtain. When he returned from behind the curtain, the movie which was projecting the natives dancing around the fire on the large movie screen stopped, and the man returned holding a reel of film. "I used to be a projectionist at the 'Wheel-o-matic' Drive-in in Rollaway, Missouri. When I shipwrecked on the island, I missed it, so I created this screen from coconuts and bark, and built a projector from the remains of my boat which broke up on the beach. I had been out on a three-hour tour when we hit a huge storm, and now I am a castaway, and I've been here a long, long time." _________________________________________ When he returned from behind the curtain, the movie which was projecting the natives dancing around the fire on the large movie screen stopped, and the man returned with a tall red-haired woman dressed in a long white evening gown wearing pearls and diamond earrings. "This is my wife, Ginger," he said. "She's an actress in Hollywood, California!" |
Bijoux | Friday, May 11, 2001 - 10:33 am  When he returned from behind the curtain, the movie which was projecting the natives dancing around the fire on the large movie screen stopped, and the man returned with a tall red-haired woman dressed in a long white evening gown wearing pearls and diamond earrings. "This is my wife, Ginger," he said. "She's an actress in Hollywood, California!" Ginger looked at the expressions of disbelief on Terry and Jenna's face and burst out laughing. "I imagine that I must be quite a sight. You've caught us in the middle of filming a scene for my next picture. Hold on." In a couple of minutes Ginger was back, wearing jeans, boots and a sweater. __________________ At the sight of Ginger, Terry became even more worried about his friend Jeff. He really needed to talk to Jeff, alone. Jenna recognized the look on his face. Taking her cue, she pulled Ginger aside and asked to see her dressing room. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, May 11, 2001 - 11:15 am  At the sight of Ginger, Terry became even more worried about his friend Jeff. He really needed to talk to Jeff, alone. Jenna recognized the look on his face. Taking her cue, she pulled Ginger aside and asked to see her dressing room. When Ginger and Jenna had left, Terry looked at the man. "Are you Jeff or not?" he asked. "Of course not, and I don't even know who Jeff is! I tell you I'm simply having a nice time with my wife, Ginger. Who are YOU?" Just then Jenna and Ginger came back. "I forgot to tell her I don't have a dressing room!" said Ginger, laughing. ___________________________________________ When Ginger and Jenna had left, Terry looked at the man. "I know you're Jeff, now stop kidding around!" he said. "But I'm not Jeff, and I don't even know what you are talking about!" Terry realized Jeff was experiencing severe amnesia, and decided to take matters in his own hands. Just as Jenna and Ginger came back from the dressing room, Terry took a deep breath and punched Jeff in the face, knocking him back. He fell to the ground, senseless. Ginger let out a gasp. "What have you done to my Uncle!" she cried. |
Bijoux | Friday, May 11, 2001 - 12:31 pm  When Ginger and Jenna had left, Terry looked at the man. "Are you Jeff or not?" he asked. "Of course not, and I don't even know who Jeff is! I tell you I'm simply having a nice time with my wife, Ginger. Who are YOU?" Just then Jenna and Ginger came back. "I forgot to tell her I don't have a dressing room!" said Ginger, laughing. Jenna reached out and hugged Terry. Quietly she whispered in his ear, "That man is Jeff, we're in danger if we stay any longer. We must leave without him knowing. Ginger knows a short-cut back to the beach. _________________________ Terry frowned at Jenna, who shrugged helplessly. He really needed more time with Jeff. Obviously Ginger wasn't going to allow them to be alone. |

We must leave without him knowing. Ginger knows a short-cut back to the beach. Jeff looked at Terry and said "well, I'm waitng for some explaination on why you insist on calling me this Jeff person" ? Jenna notice that Ginger began to look nervous. "Ginger, we will take that tour of the Island now if you don't mine" Jenna said. _____________________ Terry stood there looking dumfounded, not exactly knowing how they were going to leave without Jeff knowing it. He was also worried about Jenna saying they were in danger. He began to wonder about what they had just walked into. The whole situation was sounding weirder by the moment. |
Whit4you | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 03:07 am  Terry stood there looking dumfounded, not exactly knowing how they were going to leave without Jeff knowing it. He was also worried about Jenna saying they were in danger. He began to wonder about what they had just walked into. The whole situation was sounding weirder by the moment. Terry whispered to Jenna "If you feel more comfortable with it, we can leave now" He could tell by the look in Jenna's eyes that she really wanted to leave. -------- Terry spoke frankly to Jeff - "Dude can we take a walk? We really need to talk." Jeff agreed and they went for a walk. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 08:21 am  Terry whispered to Jenna "If you feel more comfortable with it, we can leave now" He could tell by the look in Jenna's eyes that she really wanted to leave. "Leave! No!" Jenna cried. "Something is wrong with Jeff- we've got to help him -- he has amnesia or something -- maybe he's violent!" Her eyes bloodshot, Jenna looked at him with a wild hunger. _________________________________ "Leave! No!" Jenna cried. "Something is wrong with Jeff -- we've got to help Ginger find out what has gone wrong with their relationship!" Her eyes clear and transparent, Jenna looked at him with desperation, and Terry knew she was right. |
Misslibra | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 11:13 pm  "Leave! No!" Jenna cried. "Something is wrong with Jeff -- we've got to help Ginger find out what has gone wrong with their relationship!" Her eyes clear and transparent, Jenna looked at him with desperation, and Terry knew she was right. But there was no way he was going to let himself and Jenna get mixed up in this. He figure the sooner they get out of there the better. He had decided to let things go until they got back home then he would notify Jeff's family, because he wasn't about to played detective. And had no intentions of trying to play therapist to help mend what ever was ailing their relationship. ___________________ Just at that moment Jeff stood up, and he pull out a pistol from his waist band. Ginger went to stand by his side. He looked at Terry and Jenna, and said "you two are the right size and height". "You two coming along could not have happen at a more perfect time then this". He then looked at Ginger and said "these two will be our ticket to freedom". |

He looked at Terry and Jenna, and said "you two are the right size and height". "You two coming along could not have happen at a more perfect time then this". He then looked at Ginger and said "these two will be our ticket to freedom". He motioned for the two of them to move in the direction that his gun pointed. Behind the movie screen, they found a large airship; when they entered, they found themselves in a laboratory-like space. "We need your help to pilot this blimp; it takes four people. We will instruct you what to do. Sit here." Jeff pointed to some seats. Terry and Jenna looked at each other, and they each thought the same thing of the other: "This is another fine mess you have gotten me into." But how were they going to get out of it this time? ________________________________________________________ He motioned for the two of them to move in the direction that his gun pointed. Behind the movie screen, they found a large spaceship; when they entered, they found themselves in a laboratory-like space. "We are from another world. Our bodies are dying from genetic degeneration caused by hundreds of years of exposure to cosmic rays. The members of our race live 1,000 years. Now we will take over your bodies so we can live again."

Our bodies are dying from genetic degeneration caused by hundreds of years of exposure to cosmic rays. The members of our race live 1,000 years. Now we will take over your bodies so we can live again." Suddenly there was a large explosion as a large machine in the back room caught flame and large jagged shards of metal were strewn all around. After the debris fell to the ground, Terry, dazed, lifted his head and saw Jenna beside him, her face bleeding. The man, Jeff, and Ginger were lying prone a bit further on, and they were clearly dead. _____________________________________________ Suddenly there was a loud noise; Terry was awoken abruptly, and he lifted his head from the rock and saw a parrot cracking open a coconut. The ocean was calm; dawn was breaking over the mountains. Jenna stirred beside him, but did not awake. What a strange dream he had had! Now, awaking after a wonderful night on the warm, flat rock with Jenna, he was looking forward to a beautiful day on this uninhabited island. |

The ocean was calm; dawn was breaking over the mountains. Jenna stirred beside him, but did not awake. What a strange dream he had had! Now, awaking after a wonderful night on the warm, flat rock with Jenna, he was looking forward to a beautiful day on this uninhabited island. "Oh good, you're awake." Terry twisted around to see Ginger behind him. It was only partly a dream. At least there were no aliens wanting his and Jenna's bodies to save their race. He couldn't remember anything from the time Jeff pulled the gun on them. __________________ "Oh good, you're awake." Terry twisted around to see Jeff behind him. Jeff gave him a wry smile, "Still looking out for me, just like old times." Confusedly, Terry asked Jeff what had happened after he pulled out his gun. |

At least there were no aliens wanting his and Jenna's bodies to save their race. He couldn't remember anything from the time Jeff pulled the gun on them. Terry, shook Jenna to wake her, but she was slow to wake. Sleepy and rubbing her eyes Jenna asked "what's the matter" Jenna followed in the direction of Terry's eyes to see Ginger standing over them, with her hands on her hips. ___________________ Ginger said,"So did you two sleep well" ? "I was just thinking about you two traveling alone, and coming to this Island". "You know you should be more careful about who you trust". "For all you know we could be fugitives on the run from the law". "You both seem like very free spirits, do you travel like this often"? |

Sleepy and rubbing her eyes Jenna asked "what's the matter" Jenna followed in the direction of Terry's eyes to see Ginger standing over them, with her hands on her hips. Ginger said "Ok come on you two raise and shine". At a distance Terry could see a sped boat approaching, occupied by two Men. Ginger said "Well it looks like we have more company joining us today". ________________________ Ginger offered them both some hot coffee, which they glady accepted. Jenna left to go use the bathroom. Terry asked Ginger if Jeff was up yet. She ignored his question, which he found strange. |
Bijoux | Tuesday, May 15, 2001 - 04:40 pm  Ginger offered them both some hot coffee, which they glady accepted. Jenna left to go use the bathroom. Terry asked Ginger if Jeff was up yet. She ignored his question, which he found strange. Terry noticed that the coffee was in one of his own cups and wondered how Ginger had made it onto the boat. He felt that he had just about had it. Too many unexplained events and too many people not saying anything. What was Jeff doing on the island and why had he pretended to be someone named Anthony? Why had Jeff pulled a gun on them and what happened after that? Terry rubbed his temples to stop the throbbing that had started in his head. ________________________________________ But then again, what wasn't strange about this whole trip? The sooner he and Jenna could get back the better. Why was Jenna taking so long? |
Misslibra | Wednesday, May 16, 2001 - 01:25 am  But then again, what wasn't strange about this whole trip? The sooner he and Jenna could get back the better. Why was Jenna taking so long? Terry was on his second cup of coffee, and Jenna had not return yet. Terry notice Ginger was a lot more quiet today compared to yesterday, and she seemed distracted, and never did answer his question about where Jeff was ? Little did Terry know Ginger was distracted alright, she was making plans to leave when Terry and Jenna left the Island. She knew it was now or never, because she couldn't go on living with a Mad Man. ________________________ Jenna return and Jeff was with her. Jeff said, "I have decided to tell them the truth, they know who I am anyway. Jeff said, "I am who you say I am." you both took me by surprise, coming here out of no where... I came to a Island that is basically deserted, and who shows up ?! Two old high school friends. I'm here because I am a wanted Man back in the States. Terry and Jenna looked at each other in shock. Jeff took a seat, Jenna was still standing with her mouth open in shock. Terry yanked at her sleeve to pull her down to sit. Jeff said, "and I know you both are dying to know what my crime is" ? "Are you insane" ?! Ginger yelled, with desperation in her voice. |

It all started the summer after I graduated from college. I was working for an agricultural company doing research on genetic diversity in potatoes in Peru. The goal was to develop a better potato and feed the world. One day I'm working with my collegues in the Andes, when a group of men approached. _________________________ It all started the summer after high school. I wanted to travel and see the world, but had no money. I decided to sign up with one of those companies that provide courrier services. You know, one of those services that matches people wanting to travel somewhere with people needing to find someone to carry a package? The person gets a free trip. Well, I wanted to go to South America, and was asked to take a package to Columbia. |

You know, one of those services that matches people wanting to travel somewhere with people needing to find someone to carry a package? The person gets a free trip. Well, I wanted to go to South America, and was asked to take a package to Columbia. Before Jeff could finish his story, Terry interupted him and said "you mean to tell me you were caught with drugs? Man your much to smart for that." You would think so, but I'm begining to wonder myself, Ginger said in a angry tone. _______________________ Before Jeff could finish his story Ginger cut in and said, "I can't believe you just told them your a wanted Man. You not only have just put your life and my life in danger, but our unborn child as well." |
Bijoux | Friday, May 18, 2001 - 04:50 pm  Before Jeff could finish his story, Terry interupted him and said "you mean to tell me you were caught with drugs? Man you're much too smart for that." "You would think so, but I'm begining to wonder myself", Ginger said in a angry tone. Jeff glared at Terry and Ginger, "It's worse than that. The package contained information on a covert operation to bust the leading drug czar in Colombia." The original courrier was being followed, so at the last minute the cartel decided to try some innocent looking kid, knowning that if he was caught, he wouldn't be able to say anything. I was that kid. It almost worked too. I made it all the way to the office where I was supposed to deliver the package before the Columbian police, with the FBI, stopped me. ________________________________ At Terry and Ginger's words Jeff stopped talking. Jenna could see a look of tender sadness in his eyes. It reminded her of Jeff at 18. Very trusting, open and innocent. Jeff resumed talking, but would no longer look them in the eye. "Going to Columbia was no problem. That was just a test. After I dropped off the package I was given another to take back to the United States when I left. Who would have thought that a package that small would have contained what it did?" |

I was that kid. It almost worked too. I made it all the way to the office where I was supposed to deliver the package before the Columbian police, with the FBI, stopped me. It's been a nightmare for us. And I did the only thing I could think to do... RUN! As far away as possible. So that is why were here on this Island. Living off the land and hoping and praying that no one would find us here. If we are found by the FBI, I will be going away for a long time. And if I'm found by the Columbians I'm a dead man. ___________________ "Terry I'm sorry but we could never allow you and Jenna to leave this Island. You two are the only ones who know where, and who we are", Jeff said. I still find it strange that you both just happen to come to this Island out of all the places in the world. Are you sure you two weren't sent here by someone ? |

"Have you considered making a deal with the FBI?" Jenna asked. "Maybe they weren't there to arrest you, but to protect you." "Why would the FBI help me when my friends are skeptical?" Jeff answered. "I'm sure that they would believe you." "And just why are you so sure?" "Because I'm with the FBI." Jenna stood up. "We've been looking for you for a long time. You've seen Carlos Moldalvo, the notorious Colombian drug lord, and can help us prosecute him." _____________________________ Terry stood up and pulled out a gun. "Carlos Moldalvo sends his regards." |
Misslibra | Thursday, May 24, 2001 - 01:57 am  "Have you considered making a deal with the FBI?" Jenna asked. "Maybe they weren't there to arrest you, but to protect you." "Why would the FBI help me when my friends are skeptical?" Jeff answered. "I'm sure that they would believe you." "And just why are you so sure?" "Because I'm with the FBI." Jenna stood up. "We've been looking for you for a long time. You've seen Carlos Moldalvo, the notorious Colombian drug lord, and can help us prosecute him." Jeff instantly reached for the gun he had in his waist band and started shooting at Terry and Jenna. Terry and Jenna thought this might happen and came prepared for it by returning fire. As the bullets were flying, Ginger ran screaming and hid behind a big storage chest. After about a minute of gun fire it got very quiet. One bullet struck Terry in the leg, and Jenna was laying on her back on the floor not moving, but a red stain of blood was startng to appear from her stomach. Jeff was laying face down and wasn't moving either, but a trail of blood appeared to be coming from his head. ______________________ Jeff looked at Ginger who was looking in total shocked at what she just heard. He then slowly turned back to looked at both Terry and Jenna, and told them both he would cooperate only if he could make a deal with the FBI, that would keep him out of jail, and give him a new idenity otherwise no deal. |

He then slowly turned back to look at both Terry and Jenna, and told them he would cooperate only if he could make a deal with the FBI that would keep him out of jail, and give him a new idenity otherwise no deal. Suddenly Ginger started running down the beach. "No, no, no" she shrieked. "I can't go back. You don't know what he'll do to me if I go back." Before Terry and Jenna could move Jeff had already caught Ginger and was holding her close, soothing her. Looking into Ginger's eyes he said, "Any deal will also have to include Ginger. She was Carlos' mistress and had helped me escape." ______________________________________ Terry pulled Jenna aside to talk it over with her. With one eye on Jeff and Ginger, Terry said, "We can't make a deal until we know for sure that he has the paper, the one that was missing from the package he delivered in Columbia." Jenna nodded. She believed in Jeff's innocence but the missing paper concerned her. |
