Helping Jarod
Chapter 6
Sydney returned to the Tech Room to tell Broots the story he had made up with Miss Parker. Both had agreed that Broots didn't need to know the truth to help.
"Sydney, thank god your back. It seems all important people of the Centre are checking up on Miss Parker...."
Sydney could see Broots fear. With important people Broots was quite clear who had visited the Tech Room... Cox, Lyle and Mr. Parker. Broots despised Cox deeply since their last meeting at the Restroom. Cox had wanted information and Broots had fought hard to deceive him, by telling him lies...
"Miss Parker doesn't feel well. Like Mr. Lyle said she had a visitor last night and she had to tidy up her house. She overslept and is now suffering from a serious hangover...."
Broots wrinkled his nose.
"Miss Parker's drunk?"
Sydney shook his head, smiling.
"No, Broots. She just feels like. I assume she had a bad night regarding the fact someone broke into her house and might come back. She's totally exhausted."
Broots nodded.
"Oh, okay. So she's going to be around again tomorrow?"
Sydney twitched his shoulder.
"I am not sure, Broots. I told her to take some days off, since I fear her ulcer might get worse again. You remember what happened last time...."
Reminding Broots of the day when Parker had collapsed into Broots arms with a perforated ulcer Sydney remembered also that Jarod had nearly died on that day as well. Broots shivered thinking of the helplessness when even Miss Parker was fighting for her life. He had stayed at her side all the time until it was sure she would survive. And it had earned him a lot of grey hairs.
Sydney asked Broots to do some research on whatever the stranger invading the Centre had been looking for. If there where any clues concerning Jarod they could pursue this further, And maybe they would be able to figure out why the Pretender had risked his freedom and life for breaking into the Centre himself.....Broots started his research immediately while Sydney leant back in his chair.
