Title: Second chances

Author: Ezzie89

Rating: PG to R I think, not very well with this rating thing. There will be a lot of swearing and bad language. Some violence if I can fit it in the fic.

Warnings: Some violence inflicted on "minors" and bad guys. This is a humorous fic but part serious too.

Summary: What would happen if Mr. Raines built a youth machine and to see if it worked, tried it on Mr. Lyle and Miss Parker? And just how much trouble can the terrible twin duo get into and will they stay as 15 year olds?

Notes: I don't own Lyle, Miss Parker or any other of the cast member of the Pretender and I don't make any profit from this. Purely enjoyment only. And I would love some feedback on what you think of this story.

Chapter one: The news

Mr. Lyle walked towards Raines' office when he heard a mysterious phone conversation.

"Yes the project is going according to plan. The machine is ready although we have not found someone to try it on." Mr. Raines said into the phone.

"No sir. We have been looking but not found someone suitable." And on went the conversation until Raines laughed loudly. "Are you sure sir? Picking them would mean war; it won't go unpunished or unnoticed."

Now Mr. Lyle was really curious as to what Raines was up to. "As you wish sir. This is going to get interesting; I'll let you know when we have succeeded, have a good day."

Lyle knocked on the door so it wouldn't look as if he was eavesdropping. "Here's the file you wanted, Mr. Raines," was that a twinkle in Mr. Raines eyes?

"Ah yes thank you. This will be very handy in catching Jarod. Has he sent any clues yet?" Mr. Raines said.

"No, no he hasn't although Sydney thinks he will soon so we are staying alert," Lyle said desperately wanting to know about Raines' new project but was too scared of him to ask.

"Well then you better get back to work or is there something else you want?" Raines asked and Lyle thought for a minute he knew he had been eavesdropping.

"No nothing at all. I'll see you later," Lyle said and hurried out of the office. "Yes, I'll see you later." Mr. Raines laughed an evil laugh.

When Lyle entered Parker's office she was talking to Jarod on the phone. "We'll check into that Jarod, I promise," Miss Parker said warmly. "Is there anything more you know about the project?" "Well ok then. Don't get killed before we can catch you," she joked. "Bye."

"What's up with this project you were talking about?" Lyle asked. "Don't you knock before you enter some ones office?" Miss Parker spat.

"Not if the door is open," he retorted back. "What kind of project was Jarod talking about?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but Mr. Raines is apparently working on some youth machine that will make people younger," she said icily.

"Well I asked because I might have some info on it to," Lyle said while he sat on the edge of Miss Parker's desk.

"How did you come by this said information?" Sydney asked. "I overheard Raines talking over the phone," Lyle said. "You mean you eavesdropped," Parker shot in.

"Anyway, he's planning on trying this machine on two people and by the tone of his the two persons are somewhat important"

"Really, how important?" Parker asked. "Don't know," Lyle sighed. "This means Raines is up to something big. But just what is he going to do with a youth machine?" Sydney pondered.

"Maybe he wants to be younger," Broots said before he was interrupted by one of Mr. Raines secretaries.

"Mr. Raines wants to meet Mr. Lyle and Miss Parker in SL-15," the secretary said walking out. "Why on earth would Raines meet us in SL-15?"Miss Parker said annoyed. "Let's go find out," Lyle said.

All the way to SL-15 Lyle had the feeling he was being watched and the feeling intensified the closer they got to SL.

"Well now we're here," Miss Parker said trying to make a conversation. He was going to say yeah but was cut out by a blow to the head and then everything went black.
