"I'm your son." shakily says J.C. "I'm Jason."

"Jarod, do you think it's possible that Miss Parker could be the female pretender?" inquires the Major.

"I don't see how, but I'll have Broots do a though background investigation into her life." Says Jarod. Seeing the doubtful expression on his face Jarod explains, "He owes me a few favors."

The Centre Simm Lab 9:30 A.M.

Mr. Broots is sitting at his desk, computer in front of him. On the screen, Jarod and family. This time Jarod wants Broots help. Broots is extremely reluctant to give it.

"Broots I need your help." Jarod is looking directly at him. Watching the other man weigh the pros and cons to helping him. "It regards Miss Parker." Seeing the tech's eye almost pop out of his head.

"What do you need?"

Surprised at the fast reaction, "Well, I need to account for her where abouts for her entire life."

"What!" shouts Broots.

"Calm down Broots" snaps Jarod "I don't need every little detail just her general whereabouts. Before she was placed in her current assignment."

Thinking Broots mutters "Like a time line."

"Yeah, something like that."

"O.k. where do you want me to send it?" questions Broots. Jarod informs Broots to send it via e-mail. The two men disconnect, Broots gets to work on the time-line for Jarod. 'God, I hope the Centre didn't do anything more to her then it already has.'

Looking it over, Jarod dismissed that idea that Miss Parker was the female pretender. He even told his family that night. Emily looked at the information comes to a different conclusion.

"Jarod did you even look at this print out?" questions Emily.

"Yes, there is nothing there." dismisses Jarod. Jarod turns his back on his sister. Jason is sitting at the table notices the look of rage flash across her face. Ethan visibly shallows. Major Charles shakes his head and smirks.

"Well, that is were you're wrong genius," snaps Emily "I might not be a genius but even I can see the connection."

"What are you talking about?" questions Jarod. Emily shoves the e-mail print out under Jarod's nose. "This."

Taking it he looks it over again, "Emily there is nothing here."

"Really, let's play a game. Jason you look at the print out and check off each thing as it comes up. Jarod since you're *so* smart you get to answer the questions. Dad you get to answer questions too, Ethan, you stay out of it," demands Emily.

"Fine if it will calm you down."

"Ok, Dad the date Jarod was taken?"

"February 1, 1963," replies the Major.

"Got that Jason?"

"Yeah" taking a pencil he marks off the date on the paper.

"Jarod, date that Raines tricked you into dumping acid on Kyle?" questions Emily.

"Got that Jason?"

Checking off another date, "Yeah."

"Jarod date Timmy become Angelo?" questions Emily.

"April 13, 1970" replies Jarod.

"Got it."

"Date Ethan was born?" questions Emily.

"August 18, 1970" answers Jarod.

"Date that Annie Raines died? And what did she die of?" questions Emily.

"May 23, 1975, blunt force trauma to the head."

"Got it."

"Date Jason and Michael are born?" questions Emily.

"July 16,1982" replies Jarod.

"Oh, boy." The boy face shines with shock.

"Now you're starting to see what I saw." Smirks Emily.

"See what?" demands Jarod.

"There is something connecting you with Miss Parker because every time something happens she get sick." replies Jason (J.C.), handing back the e- mail to Jarod. Looking at the information again, he can see its true.

"Well, I'll be damn."

"The only time she took time off for herself was when she went on a sabbatical for three months in May of 1996. But it doesn't co-inside with any known torture." Says Jason (J.C.).
