Chapter 2
Miss Parker looked after Lyle with a look of disgust on her face. 'Shot.he shot a little girl!!!'

With this in mind Miss Parker walked straight over to Broots whom came into the hallway to see what all the commotion was about.
"Sim Lab, now." Was all Miss Parker barked at him before she herself headed off in that direction.

*****Sim Lab*****

Broots entered and looked at Miss Parker for instruction, only to see that she was talking to Sydney about what she just saw.

"..what do you think he is keeping from me this time?!?"

She asked Sydney in an exasperated tone. It was no secret everyone had heard what the girl had started to say to Miss Parker before Lyle knocked her out. Something was going on. Something that involved Miss Parker and that girl.

"Umm.uh.Miss Parker? What is it you.uhhh.n-n-needed me for?"

Broots interrupted timidly. Miss Parker stopped talking to Sydney and looked over at Broots. He could've sworn for a minute there that she was going to scream at him. But she didn't instead she took a deep breath and said,

"Broots, I need you to find where Lyle is keeping that girl and fast. She knows something. Get me a video feed if you can. I want to see how she is doing. By the looks of it those sweepers were gonna beat the hell out of her.NOW!"

Broots nodded his head and went over to his computer. Miss Parker turned back to Sydney to finish her conversation.

30 minutes later

"I FOUND HER!!!"

Broots yelled and slapped his hands down on the table. It had been hard. Lyle obviously wanted to keep the girl well hidden.
"About time."

Miss Parker snapped and stormed over to the desk where Broots sat. She peered over his shoulder to get a look at the computer screen. When this happens it always makes Broots nervous and he started to fidget in his seat. He was attempting to think of anything but how close Miss Parker was to him right then.

"..Broots..EARTH TO BROOTS!!!"

He looked up startled and started to berate himself for letting his thoughts carry him away.

"Let me see the video feed."

Miss Parker said to him as Sydney walked up behind them. He also wanted to catch a glimpse of this mystery girl.

"O-o-okay."

Broots stuttered and clicked the link to get the feed up. What came up on the screen was not what one would call a pretty sight. The girl from earlier today was lying on the floor of her cell where it appeared to be where she was just dumped. She looked terrible. She had a bruise on her right that could only have come from a fist, and along her jaw. She had a bloody lip and nose and the other side of her face it looked like she got pistol-whipped. On top of all that they could see that no one had tended to the bullet wound in her shoulder, it was still not bandaged though it looked like the bleeding had stopped. There was a collective gasp made by the three team members when they saw the condition the girl was in.
"Where is she being kept Broots?"

Miss Parker whispered still trying to regain her cool exterior. Broots clicked a few keys then turned to her and said,

"She is being kept on SL-20 according to this"

She looked at him and back at the screen. Her heart went out to the little girl. No child.no human deserved to be treated that way.
"I need you to disable the cameras down there loop them or something. I will need 45 minutes to an hour. I will also need a first aid-kit."

Miss Parker looked at Sydney then Broots. Sydney nodded and then headed for the door and Broots turned back to the computer wondering all the while what the heck Miss Parker was going to do. She didn't seem like the type of person who would care about the well being of others. But, Broots knew first hand that that wasn't true. It was just a façade she wore at work. He had seen her with Debbie and her little brother. He saw how she treated Angelo. He also knew that she had gone to bat for him and Sydney more times then was necessary. He knew she cared. He just never thought she would be so obvious as to show this caring side at the Centre. Especially to one of the "lab rats."

Broots looked up as Sydney walked back into the lab caring a first aid kit. Broots quickly tampered with the cameras, and gave Miss Parker the okay. Miss nodded turned to Syd, held her hand out for the kit, took it the left.
