The Center Miss Parker's Office 11:56 a.m.

After having to wait for about four hours to speak to Raines. Which Miss Parker had given up and gone to have that drink she deserved so much after not having killed Lyle or Raines for making her wait and not giving her any answers about Miss. Fox. She was spissed beyond believe and had a migraine the size of Texas. She wanted to know about the new Miss. Fox but it seemed that she had given strict orders no one talks about her until she was the one ready to do the talking. She had heard most of the employees both male and female talking about how she seemed wonderful and that she was so nice and of course once they had seen Miss. Parker they had scurried away like the good little pests they were but not before one of them had said that they had even seen Lyle drooling over her. Her train of thought was interrupted by a knock at her door.

"What!" She barked at who ever was at the door.

"Ah Miss. Parker I was looking for you, it seems Mr. Broots has got some news for us. About Jarod newest location." Said Miss Fox While standing at the door to Miss Parker's office

"Well you found me. So you can leave now." She said while drinking more of her drink.

Miss Fox stepped inside the room and closed the door. "Look I know you feel threaten by my being here. Lets get this straight I don't want to get in the way of the chase I'm only here to consult. So whatever you do or don't do is not my problem as long as you keep out of my way I will keep out yours. Is that clear?" she said looking at Miss Parker.

"Crystal." Miss Parker said as she stood and walked up to Miss Fox. " Oh one more thing I don't feel threaten my anyone, least of all you." she said and walked past her to the door. "Are you coming?" Miss Fox smiled and followed Miss Parker down to the tech room.

*************************

Tech Room 12:14 p.m.

Both Miss Parker and Miss Fox were at the computer looking over Broots shoulder

"Broots what does all this mean is all numbers to me?" Miss Parker said clearly irritated

"It says that..

"It says that Jarod has been seen on four occasions in the past 72 hours and it has been in 4 different states." Miss Fox explained for Broots

"That's right Miss Fox. I didn't know you knew anything about computers." Broots said in awe of her capacity not only was she nice to him she was beautiful and very smart.

"I know a lot about a lot of things Mr. Broots" She said and smiled.

"Well what are we waiting for lets go get us a lab rat." Miss Parker said heading toward the door.

"I don't think we can" Broots said while typing in some commands on the keyboard.

"And why can't we" She said waiting for an explanation.

"Because it's not him," Miss Fox said looking for Broots to verify what she had just said.

"And how do you know it's not him you've never even seen him.or. have you" Miss Parker asked.

"She's right is not him because there are signs in the computer that indicate this is a set up."

"And how would you know" Miss Parker asked Miss Fox.

"As I said earlier I happened to know a lot about a lot and this enters that category," She said not looking at Miss Parker while she spoke "Besides I helped create the program in, which allows one to see the authenticity of a particular lead." She stated matter of fact.

"Wow you really help create this. It's so amazing. I never thought I could ever have the chance to work with someone as clever as you." He said looking at her in complete awe.

"Why thank you Mr. Broots and it is a great a pleasure to be working with you as well." She said and smiled at him.

Broots blushed and continued to search the remaining leads on Jarod.

Sydney looked very amused by all that was going on.

"So Miss Fox are you a genius or some thing?" Lyle who has witnessed the whole discussion asked her.

"Or some thing" She said and smiled and turned back to look over Broots shoulder to see if she could offer some more help.

"Miss Fox care to accompany me to lunch," Lyle said.

"Oh Mr. Lyle I'd love to.

"Great lets go" Lyle smiled an offered in hand.

"But we have work to do and I'm not all that hungry at the moment so I'll have to take a rain-check" She said while looking as his reaction change from happy to some what disappointed.

"How bout I take you to dinner tonight to get to know each other" He said not paying attention to the amused look he was receiving from both his sister and Sydney.

"I'm afraid I have plans. I was going to ask Mr. Broots to accompany me at dinner tonight."

"Me?" he sprung around to look at her.

"Him?" Lyle said bemused.

"Well that is if you want to Mr. Broots if not then..." Miss Fox started to say.

"No. I mean yes I would love to accompany you to dinner tonight" he said a smile forming on his face from ear to ear.

"Well, then is a date?" He nodded and kept smiling "Would seven be all right with you?" another nod from Broots. "Very well then a car will be there to pick you up at 6:45 sharp oh and Mr. Broots before you leave stop by my office I need to give you something" She smiled and was about to leave when she turned to him and said. "And Mr. Broots I don't like to be kept waiting" She smiled looked back again as said "Oh, Lyle I'll be taking that rain check sometime this week. That is if you still want us to get to know each other" She smiled one last time and headed out of the room.

A very angry Lyle looked at the rest of the team and said, "What the hell was that"

"Well Lyle I knew you were slow but I do believe she picked Mr. Broots here over you" She said will looking between both Broots who had a very huge smile on his face and a very very angry Lyle.

Lyle was about to say something but thought better of it. Turned around and walked out of the room towards his office. He wasn't in the mood to eat anymore. While outside the door he heard his sister and her team laughing.

Miss Parker still not able to contain her amusement any longer broke out into a fit of laugher along with Sydney.

"That was unbelievable I don't think I've ever had so much fun watching Lyle get rejected by a woman before" She turned and looked at Broots "Oh and Broots you can have the rest of the afternoon off I owe you one. Sydney and me will order some food and keep looking for more clues. Then will head off too there's not much any of us could do. Ratboy will come out when he wants to and we'll be ready"

"Wow thanx Miss Parker" He smiled and said while walking to the door

"Oh and Broots I want details" She laughed some more then headed to her office with Sydney hot on her trail.

Broots' smile seemed to grow even more at that. He'd never seen Miss Parker act that way but he was sure happy it was working for his benefit.

He headed towards the elevator. He had to stop by Miss Fox office before he headed to pick up Debbie from her grandmother house. Today he would spend the rest of the after noon with his daughter.
