New Blood
Revamped
Prologue
Jarod stood at Catherine Parker's gravestone. Exhaling slowly, he knelt down and placed a single white rose among the dozen red ones that already lie on the ground in front of the stone. He wondered what his life would have been like if Catherine hadn't died. He bowed his head and began to pay his respects. So deep in his thoughts, he never heard the footsteps behind him or the cocking of the gun.
The gun was fired and a bullet hit Jarod in the back, then traveled through him to his heart. The Pretender collapsed forward, his blood pooling around him. White-hot pain laced through his body and his world went black.

The Centre
Miss Parker and Broots stood in Sydney's office, watching as the psychologist preformed an experiment with Angelo. Just as the older man was making progress, the empath cried out in pain and fell forward.
"Angelo!" Sydney cried out in alarm.
Parker and Broots moved towards Syd and Angelo. The Empath placed a hand over his heart and his eyes fluttered.
"Jarod dying." He said.
The trio exchanged alarmed looks as Angelo then passed out.
