LJP- Well…The black Files and Phoenix were kept top secret. More will be explained on why Jarod never learned about the kids latter on.
Pretender Fanatic- Glad you like Lex, and Andrew. I didn't really talk much about them in the Black Files so I wanted to give them a little time in Genesis. And yes it the renewal wing. And if you think this story has a lot of little stories wait until Exodus the next Black Files story.
CHAPTER 28
REEDUCATION
May 4, 1996
7:45am
Blue Cove, Delaware
The Centre
Will and Alley laid on a cot side by side facing each other a few days after the last of the Black Files had been born "Will I had a dream last night." Alley told him.
"About what?" He asked her.
"Five babies being born. A set of twins and a set of triplets." She said.
"I had that dream too. I think that in the dream we knew them, or would know them. I'm not entirely sure." Will said furrowing his brow in confusion.
"I wonder who they are?" Alley asked.
"Alley they're probably not even real." Will told her.
"I think they are Will," Alley replied. "Will?" Alley said sometime later.
"Yeah," Her brother answered.
"Can we go see her again today?" Alley asked. Will didn't need to know who his sister was referring to. The twins had recently discovered that the blue eyed woman from their dreams was indeed their mother. Every so often the two would seek through the air vents and watch her.
"Sure, we'd better get up anyway, Lyle will be coming for us soon." Will told his sister. The two got off of the cot and proceeded to dress for the day. They were dressed, shoes tied and hair combed by the time the door opened. But it was not Lyle who opened the door, but another familiar face, and one much more friendly.
"Sam," The children cried in delight. It had been almost a year since the twins had last seen the sweeper. Sam had been so wraped up in the care of the Black Files and being Miss Parker's sweeper that he had been unable to visit the children.
"Hey you two," Sam said smiling. The twins noticed that Sam had aged drastically over the past year. His smile no longer touched his eyes as it once did, and their were many worry lines on his face.
"You okay Sam?," Will asked he could feel the weariness emitting off of Sam.
"I'm fine Will," Sam told the boy. "Just a little tired."
"Why ya here, where's Lyle?" Alley asked not that she was disappointed that Lyle wasn't their.
"He went camping or something like that," Sam said, the twins exchanged a frown, they knew exactly what Lyle did when he went on camping trips and it didn't involve roasting marshmallows. "And that asshole Willie isn't here because he got trigger happy last night and shot and killed one of the psychics. Right now he's enduring a T-Board."
All three of the rooms occupants suppressed a shudder. T-Boards were legendary at the Centre, Sam had never been before one but he had heard stories of those who had. And though they were only five, Will and Alley knew all about T-Boards, they had in fact perfected the technique.
"Come on then let's get the two of you to the sim lab," Sam said. Will and Alley followed the sweeper to their lab down the hall. The two sat down at their table on which two folders sat with the days work.
"No pretends today," Alley commented.
"Guess not," Will said shrugging his shoulders. The twins went to work Sam watching them from the corner. After three hours lunch was brought out for the twins. Will and Alley frowned at the green substance and the glass of tomato juice that accompanied it. Yet the two reached for their napkin, to place on their lap. As Will picked up his napkin he began to grin. Inside of both Will and Alley's napkin Sam had hidden a chocolate bar. The twins slipped the candy bar in the waist band of their pants, it would be melted but the twins didn't care.
Halfway through lunch Sam was called to attend to two of his charges. Marc and Cassie had suddenly developed a fever, and were refusing to let Jen give them their medicine. A young sweeper was sent to cover for Sam. Not realizing that his job was considered much more important than his life the sweeper dozed of mere minutes after relieving Sam. Yet we must forgive the sweeper for it was not his fault he fell asleep for he had been drugged.
"He sleep?" A voice asked from the air vent above Will and Alley. Will looked over at the sweeper.
"Out like a light," Will replied. The air vent cover lifted off revealing Jake and Rachael.
"Hi. 'm Jake, this Rach," Jake said pointing to his self and his sister. "need yous help." Will and Alley stared in disbelief at the boy and his sister. Never before had they been contacted and asked for help by another Center Project.
"What do you need our help with?" Alley asked.
"Go get our daddies out," Rachael said. "In trouble. Bad men hurt dem. Mr. Lyle hurt dem."
"What do we do?" Will asked.
"Make dem go." Jake said locking eyes with Will.
"I won't do that. We won't do that," Will said understanding what the boy spoke of.
"Do or dey die. Dey no need any more. Got us," Rachael said and they two children disappeared.
"They remind you of Angelo?" Alley asked shakily. Will nodded his head unable to speak. "Will what are we going to do?"
"Alley we promised that we would never do it again. We... Alley we almost killed a man last time," Will whispered.
"But he's our Daddy. Those twins said he'd die if we don't make him leave," Alley argued.
"Al, for all we know they were trying to trick us, Lyle could be setting us up to use our powers."
"Will they weren't lying and you know it," Alley said shaking her head.
"Alley we can't. No matter how much we may want to. We can't mess with peoples minds like that, it's wrong." Will said placing both hands on her shoulders.
"I don't care Will, I'm doing it. I'll do it with out you if I have to." Alley told her brother.
"Look we'll get him out. But we'll find another way," Will promised her "Just give me sometime to figure it out," Will said.
"Okay," Alley agreed reluctantly.
Sam returned half an hour latter, to find that his replacement had dozed off while on the job.
"Wake up you idiot," Sam said knocking the sweeper onto the floor. The sweeper looked up at Sam in shock. "You dumb piece of shit you feel asleep while watching one of the Centre's top projects," Sam said picking up the sweeper by the lapels of his jacket and shaking him. "What if they had choked on their lunch and died? What if they decided to wander of and ended up hurting them selves? What if they had escaped, or someone decided to take them? Let me tell you just one of their little fingers is worth more than your life will ever be. Now get the hell out of here before I tell Raines and he has you killed." Sam growled. The younger sweeper ran out of the sim lab as fast as he could.
Will and Alley laughed at the form of the retreating sweeper. "You two didn't drug him did you?" Sam asked the twins.
"No sir," Will answered.
"Is everything okay Sam?" Alley asked the sweeper.
"Everything's fine Alley. Now why don't you and Will finish up the last of your work and the two of you are done for the day," Sam told the kids.
"There you are Sam. I was wondering where you were," Came the voice of a woman. Will and Alley gasped at the sight of her. Never before had they been so close to her. Never had they seen her so clearly unless it had been in pictures.
"You stood me up," Parker said slightly annoyed. Sam glanced at Will and Alley and noticed that they looked slightly pale, but thought nothing of it. Sam then turned his gaze towards Parker.
"Sorry Willie had a T-board and Raines made me cover for him. How about dinner tonight. I'll cook even, or we can go out. Which ever you want," Sam told her.
"How about you cook, I'll bring the wine," Parker told him.
"Fine with me," Sam told her. Parker then turned her attention to Will and Alley.
"What are they?" Parker asked nodding towards the children. Will and Alley felt as though they could not breath. It was all they could do not to throw their selves into their mother's arms.
"Pretenders," Sam replied. All of a sudden Sam remembered that Parker was not supposed to be their. Phoenix and the Black Files were top secret.
"You two look familiar. Have we met?" Parker asked the twins. Will and Alley shook their head. "Hum," Parker muttered shrugging her shoulders.
"You're Miss Parker," Alley said softly a tinge of amazement in her voice.
"Yes I am," Parker replied.
"You're our m..."
"Angel," Mr. Parker said entering the room interrupting what ever Will was about to say. "What are you doing down here?" He asked his daughter as he nervously cast a glance towards Will and Alley.
"I was looking for Sam, Daddy," Miss Parker said.
"Well you've found him. Why don't the two of you go upstairs and talk?" Mr. Parker suggested. "I'll take the children back to their room Sam."
"Oh we were done sir. Parker just leaving," Sam said.
"Good, Good. Angel why don't you come with me then. A little father daughter time, what do you say?"
"I'd love to Daddy," Parker said taken aback.
"Wonderful," Mr. Parker said taking her arm and leading her out of the room. As the two crossed the threshold Mr. Parker looked back at Sam.
"Shit," Sam muttered under his breath. Sam knew his was in trouble. "Come on you two are done for the day," Sam said leading Will and Alley back to their room. The twins didn't even bother to argue.
Once the twins were secure Sam ran to the chairman's office. He made it upstairs in time to see Parker being wheeled out on a stretcher.
"What's going on," Sam asked panicked.
"She just passed out," Susan told Sam. Sam quickly pressed a kiss to Parker's head and then barged into the chairman's office.
"What did you do to her!" Sam yelled.
"I warned you that she was not to learn of Phoenix or the Black Files." Mr. Parker growled.
"What's so Damn important about those kids that she can't know about them. Hell she stands to inherent the Centre when you die. I think that one way or another she'll find out!"
"Then children won't be here then upon my death they'll be transferred to a non disclosed location."
"What? Why?" Sam asked confused. He the heard the voice of Andrew in his head
why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers
Sam felt like an idiot. 'God their eyes. Will, Alley, and their baby brothers and sister have the exact same eyes as their mother. Alley acts just like Parker did when we were younger. How could I not see it?' Suddenly Sam was filled with blind rage. The same rage he felt all those years ago when he attacked Raines.
"You son of a bitch what did you do!" Sam roared lunging himself at the chairman. Yet Sam never reached him he found himself being held back by Willie and another sweeper named Gar. "She's your daughter you bastard. They're your grandchildren." Sam yelled thrashing against the two sweepers.
"Let me let you in on a little secret Samuel. Your precious Morgan is not my daughter. Her and your mother as you call her had an affair with one of the psychiatrist here."
"It that why you had her killed?" Sam spat.
"No boy, I had her killed because she was interfering with my plans,"
"And my parents? Did they interfere with your plans too?"
"Yes. You see Samuel when you and your sister where younger you two were friends with a boy. When that boy was four he was taken from his parents and brought to the Centre. Your parents and Catherine were good friends with this boy's parents. Your parents discovered the truth of the boy and were about to reveal his location. I warned them to leave it alone, for your sake. But then it was learned how smart you were and well I just couldn't pass upon the opportunity of another pretender. And I knew that your parents weren't going to give you to us willingly. So..." Mr. Parker said.
"Yeah but you screwed up, I'm no pretender."
"A mistake yes. But you still served a purpose. You, Jarod and Morgan."
"Jarod was the boy my parents tried to save," Sam asked shocked.
"Yes he was. But in your childhood you knew him better as Jar, if I'm correct." Sam's eyes widened. He remembered being a boy and climbing a tree with Mor and Jar. How the three of them tormented Emma, tied her to the chair, locked her in the closet.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Sam asked.
"Because boy you won't remember any of it. You and your sister along with her and Jarod's two children are to be reeducated." Mr. Parker growled.
Sam shook his head "No, no, no, no," He chanted over and over. 'Maybe Raines was right about me being an idiot,' Sam thought to himself. It was bad enough Sam didn't make the connection that Parker was their mother. But Jarod God. Will and Alley looked like a miniature version of Jarod with blue eyes. The twins had their father's smile, hair and build.
"Why Will and Alley?" Sam asked "Why are they being reeducated too?"
"Because it has been learned that the two of them know to much of their parentage. I can't have them knowing who their mother is."
"You won't get away with this!" Sam yelled.
"Dear boy I already have," Mr Parker laughed. "Take him to the renewal wing," Mr. Parker ordered. Willie and Gar dragged Sam kicking and screaming to the renewal wing.
Up next Will and Alley are forced to endure the terrors of the renewal wing.
