Jarod's room
9:00 PM
The Ship
Somewhere out at sea
Only about one hour after they had both gotten to sleep Brad was waken up by the sounds of yelling. He looked over to the corner where Jarod was sleeping and saw that he was having a nightmare. Jarod awoke with a start and noticed that Brad was staring at him.
"Nightmares from when Lyle stopped my heart. He wanted to test out his heart drug and decided to use me as the guinea pig," said Jarod answering the unasked question. Just then Lyle's sweepers stormed in. Jarod and Brad both knew that they could not fight in the state they were in so they just sat there waiting. Two sweepers came up and put handcuffs on both of them. They left off the leg weight because they too knew what bad state the two men were in. Lyle stepped in and smiled.
"Those handcuffs that my sweepers just put on you are new. They have no keyhole. The only way to get them off is with a pair of bolt cutters," said Lyle with a smirk. Lyle gave a nod to one of his sweepers and they pushed Brad and Jarod out the door and into the next room. In the next room Lyle once again hung them by the ceiling. He was about to start beating them again when a group of sweepers walked in with a girl in toe. The girl was tall. She looked to be about thirteen. She had shoulder length brown hair and deep brown eyes and the look that she had in them branded her a rebel. She wore a pair of dark blue flares that reached to the floor and a black sleeveless shirt. The oddest thing about her though was that she had a dog following her at her heels. The dog was a middle aged jet black Black Lab.
"Mr. Lyle, Sir the girl short circuited all the cameras in her room. We have nowhere to put her." Inwardly Lyle was glad that she had done this because now he had a reason to put the pretenders together. Lyle put on a face of mock anger.
"Now why would you go and do a thing like that?" questioned Lyle as if he did not know why she had done it.
"I don't like cameras," the girl merely stated. "You fricken people are sicko's. People need some privacy ya know."
"Put her in Jarod's cell with them but I will come after all of you and kill you if they escape. Understand?" said Lyle.
"Yes Sir!" said the leader sweeper. With that he took the girl away. Lyle turned back to the pretenders hanging from the ceiling and tried to run the sim with them again but only half heartily. He gave them each a mild beating and sent them back to their rooms.
Jarod's Cell
11:00 PM
The Ship
Somewhere at sea
As Jarod and Brad were thrown in the room the girl looked up.
"I was wondering when the two of you would get back," she said. She stood up and dusted herself off.
"My name is Andy short for Andrea," she said as she offered her hand.
"My name is Jarod and this is Brad," said Jarod as he shook her hand.
"How did you get here?" asked Brad.
"Well when I was little I had a nanny she told me about The Center. She said that my parents were there. She said that my real mom was an employee and my dad was a prisoner. Apparently the two of them would have the perfect baby and so I was born from a surrogate mother. I was given to my nanny and once she figured out what The Center wanted me for she ran away with me. The Center has been chasing us ever since. One time they caught up to us. They killed my nanny, but I got away. Ever since I have been going from school to school, signing myself up as different people with different parents each time. One day one of the teachers must have been connected to The Center, and she tipped them off about me. I was at a house that I rented when they pulled up in their black town cars. I ran out the back way. Apparently they saw me and I ran for a good couple of miles before they caught me. They had me surrounded. Anyhow they caught me and here I am," she said.
"What about the dog? How did it get here?" asked Brad nodding to the dog that was sniffing around the cell.
"Shade followed me when I was running and when they surrounded me and took me away, he followed. For some odd reason they let him stay with me. I don't know why," she said. Jarod looked at Brad.
"The perfect pretender," Jarod said. "Miss Parker and me."
"You mean?…" said Andy
"Yes," said Jarod. "I am your father." Andy gave a little smile and said,
"I kinda figured on that." She sat down in a corner and Shade, her dog came over to her and laid across her lap. She curled her knees up to her chin. "I don't know about you guys but I going to sleep. Chances are tomorrow they are going to use me as leverage to make you guys do sims and I don't really feel like giving in," she said. They all went to different corners and sat down and tried to go to sleep.
Jarod could not sleep. He could not bare the thought of The Center using his new found daughter as a way to get him to do sims. He could not give into the sims because he knew that Andy did not want him to. He just wished that there was some way that he could save her the pain
