Thanks to all of the reviews that I have received. Because of all the reviews I have decided to keep going with the story.

"It's been a week since she woke up and she still has not talked about what happened. Jarod, if she keeps this up any longer I fear that it will control her. Everything that we have been seeing and hearing from her lately is all pretense. She pretends to be happy and cheerful, but her eyes don't lie. She's in a lot of pain and we need to get her to open up." Sydney said over coffee after Parker had retired for the night.
Jarod leaned back in his chair and sipped his coffee.
Sydney was right. Parker was putting on a show for them to leave her alone about her time at the Centre. The few times that Jarod had mentioned it she had become closed off or she had reverted back to her 'ice queen' persona. She had to talk to someone. He knew that it troubled her because almost every night he had rushed into her room at the sound of her screaming.
"Tomorrow, Sydney, tomorrow night we will make her talk about it. No matter how we do it." Sydney heard the regret in Jarod's voice and new that tomorrow was not going to be an easy night at all.
The next morning Parker sat at the kitchen table drinking her morning coffee when Jarod walked into the room.
"When you get done can you meet me in the living room." he asked. She nodded and quickly finished her coffee.
She walked into the room and sat down a cross from Sydney and Jarod. Her body tightened as suddenly she knew exactly why she was sitting in here. They wanted to know what had happened at the Centre.
For a few moments no one spoke. No one wanted to start what was about to become a very dirty situation. Finally Jarod sighed and met her eyes.
"What happened Parker."
They watched the transformation from the sweet and loving woman that she had been to the 'ice queen' composure that she had lived in while working in the Centre. "I already told you that nothing happened." She stood up and started to walk out of the room when a hand caught her and flung her back to the chair. Shocked she stared at Jarod, whose face showed that anger that he was feeling.
"Don't act like we are stupid Parker. If nothing happened while you were at the Centre then why do you wake up every night from nightmares?" He snapped. "Or is it just because your too weak and stupid to seek help when you need it."
Parker reeled back like she had been slapped across the face. "I don't need any help from someone who cannot even find his own family." With that she stormed out of the room and Jarod made no attempt to stop her. Jarod told himself that he could not be mad at the way she retaliated because he had pushed her, but that comment still hurt.
"Don't you think that was harsh Jarod?" Sydney asked speaking up for the first time. Jarod shook his head.
"It was just what she needed Syd."
Sydney nodded before leaving to room for him to do his part of this.
Parker stared out her window. 'How dare he call her weak and stupid.' She heard the door behind her open, she knew that it was not him. "What do you want Syd? For me to bare my soul out to you?"
"I just want you to know that I am hear if you need it." he said sitting down in the char next to her.
Minutes passed and neither spoke. They just enjoyed the serenity of the night sky. "I was on my way out of the Centre when someone hit me on the side of the head. When I came to I was strapped down on a steel table. I could hear him wheezing. I threatened him and they just laughed. They covered my eyes with a cloth and I felt and needle being stuck into my head above my ear."
She looked at him ad he could see how much this was hurting her. "It hurt so bad. I don't know how long they kept poking my head with those needles. Each time they did it there was more pain until the pain got so bad that I passed out. That whole week they did the same thing every night. They last time they did it I figured out what they were doing. They were ejecting me with pain stimuli to test how much I could handle."
She stopped for a little while and then continued. " After that they started testing the voices in my head. They found a way to increase the volume of the voices. I started getting strong migraines from it. After that I don't really remember that happened. My nightmares are not images. Syd. It's a mixture of the voices and the pain where the needles were stuck increasing so much that I can barely handle it." By now tears ran down her face.
Sydney pulled her into a big hug and let her cry. Parker felt another individual enter the room and Sydney reluctantly passed her to him. Jarod mummered words into her ear and rocked her back and forth. She knew that he had been listening. The pain of his earlier words was not gone nor where they forgotten, but for now she just wanted to be held by him.
Sydney watched his two children embrace before leaving the room.
In the Centre:
Angelo stared out of the vent and smiled. Bad men...men that hurt daughter...gone. He smiled and then left for good.
Sydney turned on the TV to FOX. "Breaking news...an company called The Centre has been taken over the FBI. The FBI was sent documents telling them what this company had been doing for years."
"Jarod! Parker! Come here!" Sydney yelled. The two rushed into the room. Still touching any way they could. Sydney smiled and turned the TV up.
"Documents show that this company has been kidnapping children and exploiting them for their research. Some documents tied them to horrifying murders ranging to plane crashes to killing their own people if they turned against them. Unfortunately one person is still at large. "
A picture of William Raines flashed on the screen. "This man is thought to be the mastermind behind the horrifying world called the Centre. If you see this man..."
The woman on the screen continued talking, but the three figures in the room were no longer listening. A knock at the door had quieted the group while Jarod went to answer it.
"Oh my goodness!" Yelled Jarod. Shouts could be heard from the doorway and Parker and Sydney rushed to the door. Emily, Charles, Jimmy, the name that Jarod's clone had chosen for himself, and Zoe all stood hugging and talking to Jarod.

*Evil Grin* I don't like Zoe so the next chapter will be a lot of Zoe bashing and also be more focused on Jarod and Parker, and of course Dr. W. Raines will have to make an appearance. Hehe!!!!!!
