Margaret wandered through the halls of the Centre. "Catherine?" She hissed. "Catherine where are you?"

Catherine emerged from the dark shadows, "Margaret." She whispered and embraced the woman. "I've found him."

"Charles? Where?"

"The Centre has someone holding him over in the Middle East. They paid the some enemies of the U.S. to kidnap them. To keep them, specifically Charles, from coming home."

"To keep me on the Pretender Project, no doubt." Margaret concluded. Worry lines sprouted on her face.

Catherine nodded in agreement, "I tipped off the FBI to their location and he should be home soon. You have to get out of here."

Margaret agreed with her friend, "I intend to. But Catherine I'm worried."

"About?"

"My son is a Pretender."

"What?"

Margaret hung her head in fear, "Yes. As soon as Charles comes back we're leaving."

"Good." Catherine said. "The farther you get from here the better."

"What about Merriam?"

"I intend to get my daughter away from here as soon as possible. But I don't know if I can leave my son."

"Honey, Matthew's gone."

Catherine nodded sadly, "I know. Its ironic isn't it?"

Margaret was puzzled, "I'm at a loss here. What is?"

"You… me. You gave birth to Jarod nearly six months ago and just two weeks ago my baby was born."

"I don't understand how that's ironic."

Catherine shook her head and embraced her friend, "God speed. Margaret. God speed."

"Jarod… your father was missing for over six months." Kate observed.

Jarod nodded and then turned to Harm, "Can you find out anything about this? Did you find anything on my father?"

Harm shook his head, "I made a call and we are waiting for someone to fax the information over to us."

Jarod nodded, "That's right. I had a memory lapse."

Mac smiled, "That tends to happen under stressful situations."

Parker rubbed her forehead. "Okay so Faith had a key to a box under my mother's name. Why?"

Syd shrugged, "Maybe Catherine gave it to Faith to hang on to before she died."

Parker thought about this but disagreed. "I'm not so sure."

Broots shrugged, "We have one DSA left."

Parker took the DSA. The date on it was March 12, 1970. Not long before her mother died. She placed the DSA into the player and the group once again huddled to watch.

Catherine Parker's face flooded the screen. "My darling girl. If you are watching this I am no longer here. I several things I need to say in a short amount of time. I will cut simply to the chase and tell you to find Jarod's mother, Margaret. She holds the key to the truth about all the secrets, to the truth about you.

I have put together this DSA so that you and Jarod can complete my plan." She paused and took a deep breath. "My darling girl, you and Jarod have become close in the past few weeks. And I know that together the two of you can complete my plan. I cannot tell you what is in case this DSA falls into the wrong hands.

Again, Margaret knows my plan. Together the two of us tried to do it but failed. You and Jarod can. I know that together you can destroy the Centre. I will, however, leave you a clue, one I hope that Jarod will understand, to find his mother. Margaret will tell you what to do. Merriam, I want you to tell Jarod this:

Jarod, focus all your energy on your mother. Think of this: NuGensis. Here you will find the key. The clues to her and yourself.

Godspeed my daughter, and to you Jarod.

It ended there. Parker and Jarod gave each other stunned looks. "I don't get it." Parker said. "She said to go to NuGensis. There you will find the key."

Jarod shrugged, "And she said she couldn't tell us her plan but she could tell me where to find my mother. I don't understand that either."

Parker thought for moment, "Didn't your parents used to stay at a lodge while they were at NuGensis?"

Jarod nodded, "But I don't…" his voice trailed off with realization. "Sydney, Sam, Broots you three stay here with Lyle and Faith." He turned to the three seated over on his other couch, "A.J., Mac, and Harm keep looking for information about my father. Ben and Kate, I want you two to scan recent news reports, anything, for information on my father, Ethan, or Emily." He didn't mention the clone; best not bring up the boy until necessary. "Parker you and I are going on another road trip."

***

Jarod and Parker tore the cabin apart but found nothing. Not a clue. Parker shrugged at the Pretender, "Jarod I don't think we'll find anything here. Its just not here." But Jarod was staring at a floorboard. "What are you staring at?" She asked.

Jarod pointed at the floorboard but Parker didn't see anything. Jarod knelt down and picked it up, cleanly. He dug down and pulled out a thick envelope. "Bingo."

"What are you doing!?" A shrill voice cried from the doorway. Parker and Jarod turned around slowly to come face to face with Jarod's mother.
