Where my pretty one lies.. Part 7 Dream
The Centre Simm lab 9:45 a.m.
"Miss Parker is due in soon she said that she is bring someone with her. Probably a new sweeper." says Syd, talking to Jarod by video mail.
Broots was sitting at his desk, shakes his head, "No, Raines refuses to assign any new sweepers to her. He said it was a waist of resources. I think he's planning something, he even tried to re-assign Sam the other day."
The door swooshes; both men look up expecting Miss Parker. The person facing them from the open doorway wasn't Miss Parker. It was a good- looking lad around seventeen or eighteen years old. Tall. Dark haired. Bright piecing blue eyes. Finely cut features set in black glower. "Who are you?" the boy demanded.
"My name is Sydney and this here is Broots," as he gestures to the other man, and "whom might you be?"
The young man smiles "I might be Mr. Parker Jr. But you can call me Junior." At this statement Syd, Broots and Jarod gasp. The young man smirks at them.
Miss Parker walks into the lab. Glancing back-and-forth between the two men and the young man she asks, "Have you guys met?" Sydney and Broots nodded their heads to Miss Parker.
"Good, then I won't have to introduce you to my son." She can see the two men in front of her struggled not to ask questions that were so clearly written on their faces.
Sam walks in taps the young man on his shoulder and informs him that his office next to Miss Parker is all set. The young man smiles and says "thank you." Sam nods his head to Miss Parker walks out.
Lyle creeps into the lab. "Who are you?" the boy demanded. The sound of the boy's voice nearly caused a Lyle to jump out of his skin. He felt the pinned by the intensity in the boy's eyes. Trying desperately to gather his thoughts Lyle did not immediately reply.
"I will ask you one when more time. Who are you?" the boy commanded.
"My name is Mr. Lyle and I am Miss Parker's twin brother." Lyle stretched out a hand tempting to shake up the boy's hand. The boy did not raise his hand but stepped closer to Lyle and in front of Miss Parker as if to shield her. The intensity in the boy's eyes grew 'if looking could kill I would be dead' thought Lyle.
"My name is Mr. Parker. I don't believe anyone has invited you. Don't you have work to do *elsewhere*?"
Lyle for a moment was afraid for his safety. 'This boy is insane.' Lyle turns on his heels and walks out of the lab. Junior glances at Miss Parker he sees one eyebrow raised in a questioning-fashion.
"What! I didn't like the way he looked. Going to my office," with saying that the boy walks out of the lab towards his office.
The men watched the boy leave. Syd notices how pale Miss Parker is looking. 'She needs to get out more. She is starting to look like a ghost.'
"My son, Syd. He will be working on projects around here and assisting me on occasion." She watches Syd and Broots react to her statements. She looks over the lab, notices the computer screen.
"Miss Parker, a son, how? You have never been pregnant," questions Sydney. Broots just opens and closes his mouth no questions escape. All the men in her view were taking the news rather well. 'Well, this wasn't so hard.'
"When you say projects, what are you talking about exactly? And assisting you?" asks Broots.
Miss Parker looks directly at Broots, "The projects Junior will be working on are his own, if he should need your help your to give it to him. No questions asked. As for assisting me, it means just that he will help me with the retrieval of our missing pretenders."
"The retrieval of the missing pretenders?" ponders Syd "I thought we were just suppose to track Jarod."
"You thought wrong the triumvirate wants Jarod's clone found as well," states Miss Parker "Along with any other member of the pretender's family."
At this news, she can see Jarod also struggling not to explode. "Miss Parker how could you," damns Jarod, "Thank God your mother can't see you now."
Turning on her heal, she tries to prevent any of them see just how much Jarod's last statements have hurt her. 'Yes, damn me for letting him into this hell. Damn you for making it necessary.'
Broots is the only one who notices her crumpled face. 'Wow, it almost looks as if she is going to cry.' Walking swiftly she leaves the Simm Lab.
Sam sees Miss Parker exit the Lab, watches her as she slowly she closes her office door. 'Never let them know that they can get to you. Good for you.' Sam glances at his watch. 'Time to check in on Junior.'
Going over to Junior's office, Sam raises his hand to knock on the door. "Enter, Sam."
Opening the door Sam sees the new kid sitting with his feet up on the desk, papers stacked neatly in a pile, a coffee mug filled with what smelled suspiciously like hot chocolate on the corner of the desk. Junior looked as if he was staring off into space.
"Sam tell me, what kind of man was Mr. Parker?" questions Junior.
Tensioning, Sam tries to see a way out of answering the kid. Junior glances at him, and then goes back to staring out into space.
"I can tell by the way your reacting to my question you either have a strong loyalty to Mr. Parker" Junior smirks "or your afraid of hurting my mother with your dis-loyalty to her father. I wonder which, so tell me Sam where do your loyalties lie?"
"With Miss Parker." Sam answers bluntly, then belatedly realizing his mistake. Before Sam could add or subtract from his statement, Junior holds up a hand.
"Good. Make sure it remains that way. Now tell me what kind of man was Mr. Parker?" questions Junior. He gestures to Sam to have a seat.
The next hour finds Sam informing Junior on Mr. Parker. What Sam stress the most is what he feels Mr. Parker has put Miss Parker through, all his lies, deceits and half to empty promises.
How Miss Parker had to have a blood test to find out who was her twin. About all the dirt Miss Parker and her group have dug up. Even mentioning Miss Parker having to dig up her mother's empty coffin.
Sam gave his opinion that Mr. Parker didn't love his daughter at all. Sam felt that Mr. Parker lived to serve the Centre. Sam informed Junior that the only thing Mr. Parker show real affection for was his sons, Lyle and of course Baby Parker.
That led to the next hour on Brigitte. Sam told Junior that Brigitte was a Centre sweeper who once was assigned to help bring in the Pretender Jarod. Brigitte and some unknown source tried to pull a coupe, one, which Mr. Parker would die. But in the end it was Miss Parker who was shot at, beat up by Brigitte who almost died.
But Miss Parker was able to over come it all to save her father. How did he pay her back, Mr. Parker marries Brigitte, used her to have a new son, one that he would raise from birth. Kills Brigitte cover his involvement in killing of the triumvirate boss Mutumbo.
The in the third hour had Sam explained Centre politics, Dr. Raines who or who might not be Miss Parker's biological father, Mr. Lyle and even Jarod. When he was all talked out he looked at the kid before him. Sam noticed the kids' thoughtful expression.
"Well, Sam, I say it's time for a change," issues Junior. By the time Sam left Junior's office he felt invigorated. Looking down at the piece of paper he held in his hands, Sam did something he never did before he smiled. 'This kid is going to fit in here just fine.'
