Miss Right Part 12
It took all of forty five minutes to get to the farm. Stu had wasted no time. Kari felt that he might be almost as curious as she was. Since they weren't expected, Kari tried to call before leaving the vehicle. Well, at least her mom's constant paranoia made a lot more sense. Everything did. The story had to be true.
Stu pulled the her onto the driveway to the farmhouse. Kari wasn't sure that was the best idea. She knew her mom would welcome her but figured that four in the morning wasn't the best time to drop in.
"Ok, Stu. Just in case I want you to park in that spot in front of the house. It's where I usually do so hopefully she'll realize it is me. You should wait in the car until I talk to her."
"Are you sure it'll be ok? We could wait until the sun is up?"
"It should be ok."
As soon as the words left her mouth, floodlights came to life. The yard lit up like a sports stadium. Kari was looking right towards the lifts when they came on. The sudden change in lighting had left her temporarily blinded. She tripped over her own get and hit the ground hard. Stu made out a little better, but it was still impossible to see.
A voice band over a PA system. It seemed to come from everywhere at once.
"I don't know who the hell you are, but it's rude to disturb a lady in the middle of the night! People just lack manners these days. You, sir, can pick up your little friend off the ground and leave the way you came! That's assuming you want to leave with all your parts intact!"
Stu tried to diffuse the situation.
" Ma'am, we came here…."
"I don't give two pig shits why you are here! I didn't mean to make it sound like it was up for debate. Anything else from you pretty boy and you'll be eating through a straw!"
"Kari! Some help here!"
"Dammit, mom! What the hell is wrong with you???"
"Kari? Is that really you?"
"YES! Do not shoot my friend! Why would you even respond like that? Who did you think was here? I'd hate to see how you treat a pizza guy??"
The floodlights dimmed and the perimeter lifts came on. Kari could see her mom walking towards them from a field. She knew...
