Demon seductress

" Thank you Todd, but I have a little problem with her and I was hoping you could help me."

"What seems to be the problem Prince Charming? Perhaps she need some fresh ginkgo ,does she forget to come home at night?" Todd the hippie ask Jackson chuckling. Jackson chuckled a little too reassuring Todd the hippie that wasn't the problem.

" No, No Todd she's a good girl stays by my side all the time. But you see she's a bit skinny and I need a protein shake mix for her. One with at least fifty grams of protein."

Todd the hippie narrowed his eyes, looking up and down her body. " I see there Prince Charming, she is a bit thin, but she looks like she's in good health and in good shape is she a dancer?" He asked Jackson

" She likes to dance Todd but she's not a professional dancer, she's a Medical Student." Todd the hippie points towards the small tables in front of the widows where the older couple are setting, telling them. "Hum, Let's see here Prince Charming, I can mix you up something really quick, you and your pretty little wife just set over there for a few minutes and I'll get you fixed right up."

" Todd can you make it taste good?" Jackson ask him.

"Yeah, Yeah, no problem." Todd the hippie turned his head looking in her direction

" Princess Charming, what's your favorite flavor?"

" Uh, I guess vanilla ." Karmen stammered out

"Good, Good, I have some really nice vanilla beans back there I will have you fixed up in no time." He leans over next to Jackson whispering, "you know Prince Charming the fastest way to fatten a girl up is to knock her up."

" I been trying to do that Todd, but she might starve to death before I knock her up." Todd the hippie chuckled, patting Jackson on the shoulder , saying " Just take a seat over there Prince Charming, I'll be right back, he sauntered off to the back of his shop, to work on the protein mix for Karmen.

Karmen and Jackson milled around for a few minutes reading the signs in front of the glass bottles, then they took a seat at the round table setting in front of the windows.

They watched as people passed by , common everyday people getting on with their life. Men in hard hats, with their names on their shirt and women in uniforms of all colors strolled by.

Nobody even seemed to notice the Royal couple setting in the window, watching the people walk by. Until an old woman with gray hair pulled up into a bun glanced over pointing her finger, screaming something they couldn't understand.

Jackson walked outside thinking something must be terribly wrong and perhaps she needed help.

Before he could reach the woman she ran off down the street.

He scanned the Area ,looking high and low but there was no signs of the lady who just ran off. It was like she just disappeared into thin air.

He walked back into the vitamin shop asking the older couple setting at the outer table " Excuse me, do the two of you know who that lady was, she was pointing inside the the shop screaming something ."

The only response he got from them was some giggles and a few slow one words answers.

Jackson assumed it might be because of the brownies they had been eating earlier. He knows Todd has a special recipe he uses sometimes for the brownies he bakes.

He thanked the couple for their time and went back and set down at the table with Karmen.

Todd the hippie brought the protein shake mix over to the table and Jackson ask him "Todd do you know an older lady in the neighborhood with gray hair that wears it in a bun, she passed by screaming like maybe she needed help."

" I can't think of anyone right off hand, but in this part of town it could be anyone" He handed Jackson the protein mix in a brown paper bag. Saying "this one is on the house, if it works for the Misses we will figure out a price next time." Jackson patted his shoulder muttering " thanks Todd if I can get her to drink it, we'll be back to see you next week."

He took Karmen's hand and walked out onto the sidewalk, there in the middle of the street was the same old lady with the gray hair pointing her finger again screaming " demon seductress, evil demonic offspring

Jackson turned around to see if anyone was behind them but didn't see anything. He turned back in the old lady's direction just to watch her disappear right before his very eyes.

He blinked his eyes confused by what he just seen, It was the craziest thing he had ever witnessed , He wasn't even sure if it was his imagination or maybe it was an elaborate illusion.

He knows Alex can create an illusion but he can't make his self disappear into thin air. This woman could possibly be a dangerous enemy, his first thought was to get karmen out of there and to a safe place.

He grabbed her by the waist pulling her into the driver's seat with him.

He started the car and slammed it in gear ,driving at a high rate of speed down the the city streets with her in his lap.

He never let off the accelerator until he slid the car sideways into the parking lot in front of his office.

That is when he turned the car off jumping out carrying Karmen by the waist with only one arm . He didn't take the elevator he took the stairs instead ,taking them two at time until he reached the very top floor .

He strolled into his office setting down behind his desk with Karmen in his lap pulling the deck drawer open and taking out a bottle of whiskey.

He took the cap off throwing it across the room. Turning up the bottle he didn't take it away from his lips until half of the bottle was gone. Stunned and shocked by everything that was happening Karmen held on to him with her arms tight around his neck she stammered and stuttered trying to get her words out "..wh.. who.,What was that."

" I don't know babe, ether Todd had some powerful hallucinogenic incense burning in his store or that bitch just disappeared into thin air."
