Chapter 4: "Ties That Bind"
Broots wandered into Sydney's office with a hot cup of strong coffee in hand just after noon.
"Good afternoon Broots," Syd sighed, "Miss Parker is hunting for you. She has been calling every hour to see if I had seen you yet. She wants you back on the hunt for Jarod again."
"Ok," Broots sighed, "If she asks, I'm on it."
Two hours later, while the computer tech sat in front of his computer, he made an interesting discovery. After entering a few more commands, his finger flying over the keyboard, he threw himself out of his seat, and dashed into Sydney's office sliding to a stop with a DSA in his hand.
Sydney looked up slowly. He knew that at last, his bluff had been called. He set down the file he was reading, and the pen he was using to take notes on a pad nearby.
"Syd, why didn't you tell me? You could have saved me hours of work! You and Jarod did a simulation on airplanes with full fuel loads crashing into the World Trade Centers!"
"I knew you'd discover it Mr. Broots, in good time."
"When Miss Parker finds out...."
"Finds out what?" Miss Parker asked coolly as she walks into the room with a file.
"Broots has found an old DSA that shows Jarod running a simulation for an engineering company about what would happen to the World Trade Center if it was hit by airplanes."
"Sydney, I don't need a psychology degree to know that Jarod is on his way to New York City", Miss Parker remarked snidely. "Your little lab rat has ran off to play the hero, I just know it!"
Turning on her back on them she snapped over her shoulder, "Syd get your stuff together we're going to the Big Apple. Broots, call the airport, tell them they better fire up the jet we're leaving for New York City immediately."
"It's going to be near impossible to get clearance to land anywhere near New York City Miss Parker." Broots reminded her.
"Then arrange for a car moron. I don't care, just get us there, pronto!" she snarled as she left.
With a frustrated sigh Broots sat down next to his computer and with the telephone and his computer proceeded to try to arrange for the trip to New York City.
He shook his head in frustration. 'Wouldn't it be easier to make the trip after they knew Jarod's exact location?', he thought a bit exasperated.
