The Car Park

by Jane Hudson

  

Mary got into the Shogun with her 7 year old daughter Lucy wearing her smart grey knee length skirt suit ready for work. Pulling out of the drive leaving the 3 bed semi behind as she drove toward her daughters school to drop off her lovely blond hair imp of a daughter. She took after her lovely mother in the looks department,a more sweet and lovely feminine young girl was there.All at school loved her. Her mother had great looks her slim size 10 5 foot 4 inches figure and her wonderful personality and intelligent ways had captured David after meeting at the nightclub 10 year before they had soon married. David Seabrook was a nice guy blond thinning hair 5 10 and at 37 still in good shape his job at the bank as a manager in the accounts department of a large machine tool company meant he was always home with his family. Soon she had kissed and dropped Lucy off at the gate. Then she was off to her job as an Office Manager in a local timber sales company ready for the 9.00 are start.

Just outside London on the M4 a 40 Ton LGV lorry was heading for Bristol. The Driver had started at 6.00 am doing drops for a Large Supermarket Group. Just one more drop in Bristol and she would be finished for about 3.00 pm. Jackie had been driving for just over 10 years as a Class one driver. She was 44 years old and was one of a growing number of lady drivers. Yet up to just over one years she was Jack yes Jackie was a per op transsexual who is in transition and she had done so in her present job.

As she drove along with Pink Floyd Animals playing on the CD she was scanning as far ahead and behind as she could driving nowadays is no joke its getting harder and harder. Then super rep in his two year Ford Monedo 1.8 lx with more miles that NCC1701 on its clock tried to cut her up .Sh-t who f-ck do these clowns think they are. Well class one plonkers my dear that what they are no doubt. The worse is BMW drivers two speed fast and warp 9.9. The there is the 80 year old plus old guy in a 1971 Morris Marina 1.8 Super Deluxe in Hearing Aid Beige lumbering along at 45 –50mph in the middle lane another real pain. Mind you he the old guy never had accident in 45 years of driving seen thousands mind you. Then there the road works Britain s road are so bloody cr-p. Still that's just how it is. So never mind just do the Brit thing of having a good moan and a cup of tea. Soon be in Bristol she thought. Get change in to my nice black trouser suit with white blouse hit Debemhams great shop. Then bit of a shopping then back to her bedsit not a bad place it was all she could afford, what with changing over and keeping her ex and son which was only fair.The ex wife Dawn got the house but that fair too she looks after Paul our 9 year old son. My change over was to say the lest a bit of a shock but we now get on ok.

Mary had been busy all morning phone calls and the normal hassle of everyday working life still not too long to go and its a nice wander around Broadmead doing a bit of shopping . If a woman is a bit fed a nice walk around they shops should perk her up. Still she had a nice night out with David last night and once they got home ,oh my he still made her feel really yummy inside.I do still love that guy. Come on 5.00pm still only two hours to go.

 

Jackie had done her last drop parked up for the day 5.00 am start tomorrow. Oh well I don't mind a early starts early starts mean less traffic which is good. She had changed out of her red company jacket and trousers and into her smart black trouser suit white blouse and black heels slinging her matching black bag over her shoulder her burgundy bob hair style looked smart. She knew with her height and build she would never have an 100 % pass rate but she was always 100% presentable. She done her make up well and tastefully . The company had changing rooms and showers and most people in the company are ok with her there was one or two but Euro law was on her side. So after showering doing her make up getting changed she was off to the shops.

She walk out to her battered old 1987 Ford Sierra Estate Blue with a red drivers door and white bonnet .She had picked it up out the Trade it free paper a month ago for only £100 with 8 months MOT and 2 months tax it look rough but drove very well and the tape& radio worked .The guy selling her was as rough as the car. But he treated Jackie ok.He had more tats that a lifer still he was a real straight guy she liked him. She liked the heap she drove and with the dent's on front wing driver side and another on the tailgate no one should nick it and she did the job my dears. She opened the drivers door and slipped into the drivers seat .The seat was different to the other seats in the car. It was one she had got from Lenny scrap yard in Weston from a Sierra Ghia as the old one was totally stuffed. So she had the best seat in the house or should say car. She pulled smoothly into the traffic another great thing about bangers people in their new cars keep a nice wide berth which is great as you can soon slide trough the heavy traffic.

Mary went out to her sliver 2 year old Shogun she loved the 4x4 her hubby had a company car so this was hers. She got into the car and drove out into traffic and headed toward Bristol just a few miles down the M5. She had on Classic FM she loved it great station great music. She drove into the town centre and found a parking place in the large car park .She left her car locking her up on the key fob and she was off to the shops making sure she had her car park ticket in her bag. She enjoyed her trip around the shops Marks and Spencer's Debemhams then into the Galleries shopping centre . She had got herself a couple of skirts a pair of trousers and a top. She also in Debemhams some make up. Then she walked towards the car park.

Jackie had parked up in the same car park. She made sure she got her ticket and went to the shops. She had a great time she got make up a dress a skirt and two pairs of trousers and 3 black tops some tights and a few bits of make up she had some very good overtime the weekend. She had a lovely chat with some of the girls in Debemhams make up department she had always got on well with the girls there. Jackie got some credit put on her mobile at the Car Phone Warehouse only £10. Then she went and got a lovely pair of boots in Price Right for only £15 knee high black real smart. They would look great with a nice skirt. She thought well might as well make my way back to the car park.

Jackie had started the heap as she called it and was driving towards the lower levels. Mary was just getting into her car when a large dark haired guy who smell of stale beer and fags in a black leather jacket grabbed her putting his hand across her mouth. He held a knife to her neck telling her to be quiet and get in to the car. Jackie was driving into the lower level when she saw the guy grab this woman by a Silver Shogun. Jackie hit the brakes and leaped out of the car. The thug was so busy feeling the woman up pulling up her skirt and pushing her in to the car, that he did not notice Jackie rush up behind him. She slammed into him banging him into the Shogun at the same time grabbing his head and banging his head on to the roof of the car. His nose busted and blood sprayed over the roof. Mary fell on to her backside wondering what the hell was happening. The thug pushed back punching Jackie in the mouth she felt her lip spilt and thought ok big boy what to play rough eh. So she punch him just under the chin she felt his jaw crack with the blow.He fell back across the bonnet of the car. Mary had got the phone out and called the police on it luckily she got a signal. They said they would be there as soon as. The thug slammed the knife into Jackie's chest Mary screamed as Jackie fell to the ground. The thug ran off towards the exit. In the fight Jackie's wig had come off Mary knew she was a he and he was passing away before her eyes. Jackie looked up as Mary upset and scared as she was knew what to do for him/her. She place the wig back on her head if he /she want to live as such she can die as such. Jackie smiled coughed blood all over Mary blouse staining the white blouse red then died in Mary's arms. Mary had never seen a person die . She just started to cry and cry.

 

The police came a woman sergeant and a young male PC. Mary was still there crying and holding her hero someone she never knew but something told her that this person had saved her life. The woman officer asked if she was ok she soon saw Jackie was dead but still called in the Para medics. It was then the male PC who said Bloody hell it a queer in woman clothes the woman officer shot him a very black look. Mary looked up at him and shouted at him you f-cking bastard this person has just saved my life and gave theirs as well and you come out with sh-t. The woman officer took the young man to one side and gave him one hell of a rollicking. They the police got the guy he was a rapist who had rape three women one of which had been killed. The case was in all the papers and the fact that the person who saved Mary was a TS the Red Tops newspapers for a change went easy on the Gender Bender slant . Jackie ex and her son went to service along with Mary and her family

 

Two years later Mary had a baby girl all agreed David as much as Mary she should be named Jackie .
