THE CENTRE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO - 1972

A camera zooms into a close focus of a young boy with writing furiously at a desk this continues for a few mintues until the young boy suddenly stops, puts the pen down sofly on the desk and then turns to look at the back corner of the dark room. "Who are you?" the boy can be heard asking" I've never sensed you before."

A Young girl steps out from the shadowy corner looking at something to her left before looking back to the boy at the desk. "Miss Parker. Whats your name?"

"Percival Cox, But i like Perry Better" Young Perry looks to the corner the corner the Young Miss Parker had appeared form. "So who are you?"

"My name is Jarod" And the young boy steps out from the shadows with a nervous look on his face as he galnces directly at the camera.

"Jarod who?" questions Perry.

"Just Jarod..."

"Don't Be stupid, Everyone has a last name. I have one, Missy has one, how do you not? What about your Mum and Dad?"

Jarod Looks away as Miss Parker replies, "MY NAME IS NOT MISSY! and he doesn't have one cause he doesnt have any. So leave him alone!."

Perry looks between the two... deep in thought before his face lights up.

"Well then Jarod, i shall give you one." Perry states with a cocky grin causing both to look at him in surprise"You are now Jarrod Detriot after the best hockey team in the world and im going to call you J.D for short. That way missy over there isn't the only one with a new nickname."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

All three glance up at the door however two of them look terrified at the sound. Missy reaches for JD and he looks at her with fear.

"Please perry we have to hide," Missy pleads to him. " If they find out we were in here we'll both be in serious trouble, especially Jarod.."

"Percival is everything ok in there? we heard yelling..." The door handle rattles as the voice is heard " Percvial unlock this door right now!"

Perry looks toward them and says quietly "Go hide fast" and steps slowly toward the door.

Missy pulls on Jarods arm leading him to the hidden corner they had apeeared from.

Percival unlocks and opens the door to his room, and two men walk in looking angry. Perry steps back away from them and stand with his back against wall

"Who were you talking to?" they snap.

"Nobody sir," answers perry queitly as he steadily watches both men like a scared mouse ready to run, then gestures to the desk. "I've just been Doing my assignments for today..."

The two men Glance over to the desk and the only light source in room, then shine a torch around his room. Not seeing anyone there they look back at him before leaving the room. And Percival breaths a sigh of relief that those two kids hadnt been caught

...JAROD...

As i took a deep breath and looked back up at Perry who continued to simply stare at me in disbelief, like he was trying to convince himself i was here. then i heard him mumble under his breath. ... "Can't be here, not now..."

"What did you say perry? I asked, surprised by the frustrated glare i recevied by the man i hadn't seen in over 30 years.
"Why is it always questions with you Jarrod" Perry questions as he ran a hand the his hair and let a a sigh. "how bad is it?" he asked waving his towards my blood covered shirt.

I move slightly and pull up the hem of shirt, "just a deep graze this time.' i gasp as perry suddenly reaches towrds and gently pokes the spot.

Perry pulls his hand back and stares at me again this time with confusion. "i don't understand why you came here for that. Surely you could've taken care of that on your own you don't need my help..."

" the Mickey Mouse patrol will be watching the hospitals...'' As i watched his face turn from confused into a frown. "And beside I cant stitch it up myself this time because while i can be many things a Contortionist will never be one of them." I reply with a grin.

Perry stands and unlocks his car, reaching in to pull out a jacket from the inside, comepletely red with a white wing logo on the back, and hands it to me.

I reach out to take the jacket "it's my hockey team... The Detriot Red Wings."

.

"Don't Be stupid, Everyone has a last name."

"then i shall give you one. You are now Jarrod Detriot after the best hockey team in the world and im going to call you J.D for short"

.

Perry stiffins and stopped talking suddenly, the frown returning to his face as he reaches out with a hand to help me up. As i stand he quickly says "put this on and get in the car right now."
Confused by the sudden change in attitude i put the jacket on and leaning against the car and just as i've pulled up the zipper, hiding any visible traces of an injury perry yanks open the car door behind me just as i see a young man in blue scrubs exit the same door perry had come through earlier. Then i remembered Perry's uncanny almost psyhic abilitiy of knowing when people were coming up behind him and knowing who it was coming before he had even turned around to look. The very uncanny ability that had gotten him noticed by raines while he had been in the program.
