Call it instinct. Call it what ever you want.

All Parker knew was when she heard that sound she was barging into the room.

Sydney was standing up in shock and just staring at Jarod.

Not even a second later two people brushed passed her and immediately went to Jarod's aid. Soon other nurses and a doctor entered the room.

They escorted Sydney out but Parker fought against them as she kept her eyes on Jarod.

"MAME YOU HAVE TO…"

Turning with eyes glowing with anger she screamed into the woman's face.

"LET GO!!!" Turning once more as she tried to get to Jarod again, but soon found herself on the other side of the door.

The doctor had been the one to physically remove her.

Whirling around on him she stared at him with those wild burning eyes of hers.

"YOUR IN THE WAY AND HE'S NEEDS ATTENTION!! NOW STAY OUT AND LET US TRY TO SAVE HIM!!!" The doctor yelled at Parker having grown agitated at the stubbornness of this woman.

Parker stepped into the doctors personal space and was mere millimeter from the doctors face.

"You are not going to try anything. I guarantee if you don't save his life you're paying for his life with yours." She said in low deadly voice that brought shivers down Broots' back.

He knew she meant every word. The doctor didn't know this though he looked like he was shocked.

He turned back and went into the room and yelled out for some sort of medication. Parker didn't really know which. And she didn't stay outside either. She went back into the room.

It had been a minute and Jarod was still flat lining.

Parker felt her heart double in speed as she heard the urgency from all of the people in the room as they tried to start Jarod's heart.

It was no luck. The second minute and the doctor looked up at the clock and called it.

Parker's eyes bulged as she looked at the doctor. Looking back at Jarod she watched as people moved away from him.

"No." She whispered out as a tear fell down her cheek.

Call it what you want. Desperation. Heartache.

All she knew is that she was yanking people away from Jarod as she slapped his face.

Everyone in the room was shocked. It took a second for them to react but it would do them no good.

Parker was yelling at Jarod. Slapping his face and telling him to wake up.

They tried to pull her away but she didn't move much at all.

"DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE YOU COWARD!! DON'T YOU DARE!! WAKE UP!! DON'T LIE TO ME JAROD!! WAKE UP!!"

Pounding on his chest she felt herself break down as the tears just came and she wrapped her arms around his neck and cried into his neck.

"Please Jarod……please." Her voiced cracking with the tears clogging her throat.

The nurses and doctor in the room looked away at the scene.

"Please Jarod……I'm………I'm so sorry….I'm so…..I'm sorry." She chocked out.

All of them were shocked at they heard the machine beep and then beep again and again, and again.

Parker slowly pulled back and looked up at the machine. Eyes blurred with the tears that were still in her eyes, but that didn't stop the swell she felt inside of her at the incredible sound.

"GET AN OXYGEN MASK ON HIM!!" The doctor screamed and again people were pulling her away from Jarod and she continued to fight them as they pulled her out of the room. Her eyes stayed locked on Jarod the whole time.

Finding herself outside looking at the door she jumped when she felt Sydney's hand on her shoulder. Looking at him she realized that she was still crying as Sydney brushed a few tears away from her face.

A slowly teary smile appeared on his face and he laughed. She didn't understand. What hell was he smiling about?

That's when his words cut through the anger that had just sparked.

"You brought him back to us Parker."

The tears finally escaped her eyes and traveled down her beautiful cheek. Parker didn't know what got into her, probably would never find out.

Finding herself wrapping her arms around Sydney as she broke down in his arms, Sydney squeezed her in his arms as she sobbed against his neck.

Crying at the emotions that he felt coursing through his body he continued to smile. Actually laughing as he heard the sound of the beeping machine as Jarod's heart pumped blood through his veins.

When everyone was out of the room Parker was the first one in the door. She sat down next to Jarod and placed his hand in hers. Caressing his hand as both Sydney and Broots sat in the room with her.

Neither one said a word about her actions.

They had not eaten since that morning and Broots was extremely hungry. Slowly adjusting in his chair both Sydney and Miss Parker looked at him.

"I think I'm gonna……go down to the cafeteria and get something to eat for us."

Miss Parker nodded her head in approval. Not that she would actually eat anything. Turning back to Jarod she continued to look at his hand as she continued to follow the contours of his hand. Brushing her finger along his hand, she listened Broots open the door and close it behind him.

Broots made it down to the cafeteria and began to eat as he actually picked things up for the others. As he was eating he just happened to look outside to see two very familiar black sedans speeding into the parking lot.

Broots didn't need but a second to react. Dropping the food that hung half in and out of his mouth as well as the things in his hands he took off running.

Bypassing the elevator he knew it would take to long.

Running up four flights of stairs when he stumbled into the door he was gasping and pointing trying to explain what was going on.

He didn't need to though…….both Sydney and Miss Parker understood immediately.

"We need to get him out of here!" Parker said as she began to collect items from the room.

"And how exactly are we going to do that?" Sydney asked anxiously as he too began to panic.

That's when both stopped and looked at each other. A small smile formed on Sydney's face as he turned to Broots.

The sweepers came barging in not caring that nurses and even doctors were yelling at the them.

Quickly they entered the room and found an empty bed and no Jarod.

The leader turned and yelled to the others.

"Check the other rooms."

They went through every room on the floor and found nothing.

Kathy came around the corner and spotted the men and began to yell.

"HEY WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"

The leader of the group walked over to her with a angry face and pointed to the room.

"Where is the man that was in that room?"

Kathy just looked pissed off as she asked her own question.

"What man?"

It looked as though the sweeper was going to back hand her but Kathy stood her ground. The sweeper calmed down and asked her again.

"There was a man in that room by the name of Jarod. Where is he?"

Kathy had the fortune of being a good actress as she faked confusion.

"No one has been in that room all week. I'm sorry sir but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave……you're disrupting the patience."

The sweeper looked at her suspiciously, looking into her eyes to see if she was telling the truth.

Obviously he found something because he motioned with his hand and soon all of them left.

Kathy watched them leave from the window……making sure they actually left before heading upstairs to the maternity ward.

Walking into one of the many rooms on the floor

Broots, Sydney, and Miss Parker were sitting down around Jarod as the machines continued to alert them all that Jarod was very much alive.

All three looked up at Kathy as she walked in alone and all let out a sigh of relief.

Crossing her arms Kathy smiled at them.

"They left about five minutes ago……after having searched two other floors……but I made sure they left before coming to see if he was ok."

Broots stood up and actually hugged Kathy. A little surprised she recovered and hugged him back.

"We can never thank you enough." Broots said with sincerity.

Kathy nodded her head.

"Thank you for helping us." Miss Parker's soft thank you shocked all three, but Kathy didn't know Miss Parker and again recovered quickly.

"There's no need to thank me. It's obvious to me that what ever trouble your friend maybe into……(eyes twitching to Jarod's bandaged head) that he's sorry for whatever crimes he has commited."

Parker looked down in front of her at nothing and stared as she nodded her head. Slowly she turned back her head to look at Jarod's face as she continued to caress his hand like minutes before.

For now he was safe……for now……
