Lyles Secret
"Parker, how are you feeling?"
"Peachy."
He chuckled
"So what's with Lyle? He seems weird. Like he's up to something."Asked Broots
" I dunno. All I know is that he saved my life."
"Speaking or Lyle, Parker we found something about him."
"Right, heres the article."
"What article?" she read
Anna Marie Bowman Found brutally beaten,stabbed,and tortured to death. Brother Bobby Bowman found locked infront of her same, but he was alive. Brother denied what happened and said a neighbor did it. Mother wasn't home. Investigated by a Det. Thomas Malorey.
"Syd, I want you to find him and bring him."
"Already ahead of you. Thomas."
"Nice to meet you."
"Likewise. Tell me all about it.
" Well Bobby and Anna were both found in the basement locked up facing eachother. Anna was found dead. Bobby was close to dead but wasn't."
"How old were they?"
"Bobby was 10 she was 8."
"Omg!What do you think really happened?"
"Well I was alone with him one day. Did get all I wanted out of him but he said his father did it. But the next when I came to his house he was bruised up more then he already was. I knew his father wanted him to keep it a secret. After that his grades when down. He was close with her. He was always there to protect her. I guess he felt like he failed after she died."
" Well, thanks for you time." Parker gave him a smile and he left
"Omg! Lyles childhood was as bad as mine.I wonder if he ever got psychiatry."
"Miss Parker, her birthday."
"What?"
"Yea."
"Get me up!"
"No Parker your not well."
"Fuck well! I said get me up!"
They did as she asked and she ordered Sam to drive her down where she was buried.
Parker got out and walked slowly to where he was
"I'm sorry about your sister."
"Parker you shouldn't be out here. Your still weak and its cold."
"I am the cold. Remember i'm ice queen."
he smiled
"She didn't do anything wrong. It was me."
"What do you mean?"
"My father had this baseball signed by Babe Ruth. He told us not to touch it. Anna always played baseball. She loved. She asked me one day to play with her and her friends. I hit their baseball in the lake and they couldn't find it. So I got my dads baseball and we used that one. I hit into a mud puddle. We told him the we used it and it got dirty. And he asked "Who got it out?" and she said "I did daddy, i'm sorry." and I didn't have the guts to say I did. He hit her and she fell to the ground. It's my fault she is dead. I should've died Parker.
"Lyle, you were just kids."
"Yea, but I got her dead! She's gone!" he started to cry and fell to her knees. Parker had never seen this side of Lyle. She never knew he was soft and gentle inside.
She bent down hugged him. He picked his arm up and held her hand. They were like that for almost an hour.
Parker was back at her house. They gave the hospital enough money to talk them into bringing the gurney and the equipment to her house. Lyle and Syndey were in the living room and Broots went home to his kid.
Lyle yawned and opened his eyes. Sydney was still dead asleep on the couch. He chuckled a little at the site of Sydney. He was just smiling.
"Must be a good dream." lyle mumbled
He got up to check on Parker. He opened the door slightly enough to see that she was still soundly asleep as well. Lyle walked into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. It slowly pored into the container and then into his cup. Sydney had finally woken up and was drinking coffee with him. Lyle was sitting there thinking of what he could say to start a conversation. Sydney was thinking the same thing. Then Parker came and broke the silence
"Morning." she said grumpy
"She needs a cup coffee." Lyle said sarcastically
Sydney chuckled. Parker just stared at him while she drank her coffee. That's when Lyles cell rang
"Excuse me."
"Wow, he has manners. That's a shocker." Lyle just gave her a glare as Sydney chuckled
"Lyle." he answered
"Mr.Lyle, how is everything in The Centre?"
"Ah, Mr. Raines how've you been?" Lyle said it loud enough for Parker to hear.
"Yes, everything's fine."
"Fine? Nothing is ever fine. We don't have Jarod! Or do we?"
"No sir, we don't have Jarod."
"O.k i'll be back in a couple of days."
"O.k. See you then." he shut his phone.
"Where is that wheezing sonofabith?" Parker asked not really interested
"Jamaica."
"Jamaica? What the hell is he doing there."
"I don't think I wanna know."
Days had gone by and Raines soon arrived home to rule this hell hole also known as The Centre. Jarod started leaving clues for Parker and Lyle to chase. They were different. In The Centre they still acted as if they hated eachother but outside they acted like brother and sister. One day Parker and Lyle were at a restaurant call "Bob Evans". They were in the middle of eating and laughter when Jarod came in and saw them. He was in town and was hungry. He was about to run off when he saw them laughing together. He decided to stay and find out what was up. He sat down at a table in the far back where they couldn't see him or hear him. He decided to call up Parker.
"What?"
"Miss Parker, I didn't know how much fun you and Lyle really have together."
"What? Where are you?"
"Oh no where you couldn't find me."
"Oh your a dead lab rat Jarod!"
"No see if you bring me in, Raines is going to want to why you to were at a restaurant together laughing and found me. Then he'll know how you to really feel about eachother."
"Blackmail?"
"That's what its called."
he walked out and gave her a wave.
"What was that about?"
"Pez head knows we don't hate eachother."
"And that's a problem because......?"
"Well he could tell Sydney, Broots or maybe even RAINES!"
"Oh."
"Parker, how are you feeling?"
"Peachy."
He chuckled
