CHAPTER 29
SOME THINGS YOU NEVER FORGET
May 4, 1996

Blue Cove, Delaware
The Centre
After Willie and Gar dragged Sam to the renewal wing they went to fetch Will and Alley. The twins were prepared for the two sweepers, not only had they sensed them coming the voices the children heard warned them of what was to come.
"Let's go," Willie said reaching for Will.
"Get away from me," Will said in a menacing voice, and even though he was only five Will's tone of voice made Willie and Gar's blood run cold. It was obvious in that moment that Will was the son of the Centre's ice queen.
"The two of you are coming with us," Gar said. "It looks as though the two of you have won yourselves a trip to the renewal wing."
"They can't make us forget our mother," Alley said.
"They can make you forget your mother, your brother even your own name kid," Willie told her. "Now lets go, and incase your wondering we've be authorized to use force if need be."
"We aren't going any where," Will yelled.
"Wrong thing to say kid," Gar said and he pulled out a tazer and zapped Will. Not only did Will drop to the floor in convulsions as did Alley even though she had not been zapped. "Interesting," Gar muttered and he and Willie carried to two children to the renewal wing.
Will and Alley awoke to the sound of a robotic voice. "I have no mother. I have no father. I am a child of the Centre. The Centre is my home. The Centre is my family. I have no mother. I have no father. I am a child of the Centre. The Centre is my home. The Centre is my family." The voice repeated over and over again.
"Hypnopaedia," Will groaned "What is this Brave New World?"
"No I believe this is the product of one of our Sims," Alley moaned in pain. Will and Alley studied their new surrounding. The room was a blinding white. The only other color was the chrome of the hospital bed that the two laid strapped down to. Both struggled against their restraint testing the tightness of them.
"God I hate sleep conditioning." Will said as the voice repeated for the eighth time since they'd been awake.
"Well no worries children now that your awake the true fun can begin," Came the voice of a man. Will and Alley turned their heads. The man looked like an extremely pale young Steve Martin, wearing coke bottle glasses. He wore a lab coat with blood splatters, and their was a dot of blood on his left cheek.
"Please doc we perfected the whole scaring the shit out of those to be reeducated, so stop trying to scare us," Alley said not fazed the slightest by the sight of the man.
"Dear child you don't even know what fear is," The doctor said.
"I read once that fear is an acronym for Fuck Everything And Run," Will said.
"You two truly are your mother's children," Mr. Parker said entering the room.
"Why thank you Grandfather, I'm glad to know we could make you proud," Alley drawled. Mr. Parker just smirked at the children.
"Your mother stands to inherit the Centre as well as the Parker name. Though she is not my child she is my only heir. The two of you also stand to inherit the Centre. And you will with the proper education. You see your mother is just here to keep the seat warm until it is time for the two of you. Once you two have been fully trained the Centre will be handed over to you. It is a shame that the Parker blood line will not be carried out but at least the name will still remain. For you see the Parkers and the Centre go hand in hand. And after all your mother is legally my daughter. Thus making the two of you Parkers. And by Triumvirate law it is enough for you two to gain control of the Centre,"
"Why are you reeducating us if we're just going to relearn all this as time progresses?" Will asked.
"You two won't ever relearn the truth after you've been reeducated. You see you two were never to know that you were legally Parkers. The triumvirate would but not the two of you, nor anyone else. Once the two of you reach the proper age the triumvirate will appoint the two of you as the co-chairmen of the Centre." Mr. Parker answered.
"You can't make us forget our mother. You can't make us forget who we are," Alley protested.
"Oh Alyssa I can do that and so much more. You and William are to carry out my visions of the Centre when I'm gone. The triumvirate thought that you two were just a prototype for the Black Files. But in truth you to are so much more. You two will be the next generation of Parkers."
"Never," Will snarled.
"We'll see," Mr. Parker replied, and left the children alone with the doctor.
"Well then lets get to work," The doctor said. He then began to pull out various tools, scalpels, electrodes and other things that looked as though they would cause a vast amount of pain.
"Hey doc are you a dentist by profession?" Alley asked.
"Why yes," The doctor replied, and despite they fact that they were strapped down to a bed, despite the fact that they were about to be tortured the twins began to laugh. "What is it that the two of you find so funny?" But the children were unable to answer due to their laugher, for their laughter had steadily progressed to hysterics.
They were unable to tell the doctor that they found him funny due to the fact that he resembled Steve Martin from Little Shop of Horrors -they had seen the movie a few days ago after seeking into the sweeper's lounge-. Things had finally begun to seep in for the twins. They were going to be reeducated. They would be force to endure many forms of torture just so that they would forget the face of their mother. The face of the woman they had met only for a brief moment. The face of the woman who was the only thing that kept them wanting to live some days.
"Please. Please don't do this," Will and Alley begged, as electrodes were placed along their small frames. The doctor then used a metal instrument to force the twins eyes to stay open. The lights were then switched off and a slid project began to show pictures of Miss Parker.
"Who is this?" The doctor asked.
"Our mom," Will replied in a strong voice. Will had decided that he was no longer going to beg. He was not going to let them force him to forget his mother. He was going to fight.
"Wrong," the doctor replied and Will and Alley were given an electrical shock. The two yelped in pain, and another picture of Miss Parker was shown.
"Who is this?" The doctor asked.
"Our mother," Both Will and Alley replied.
"Wrong." And the twins were given another shock, this time at a higher voltage and for a longer amount of time. Will and Alley lasted three hours before they passed out form the pain. It was and is still, a renewal wing record.

Miss Parker woke up in the infirmary. "Angel you're awake," Mr. Parker said when he noticed her moving.
"D-daddy? Where am I?" She asked her father.
"You're in the infirmary Angel. You passed out. And it's no reason why, you're far to thin Angel you need to eat more." Mr. Parker chastised.
"Daddy, where's Sam?"
"Sam off tending to his charges," He answered.
"We were to have dinner together," Miss Parker said. "Sam was going to cook."
"We'll then I guess the two of will have to have dinner instead." Mr. Parker told her.
"Really," She said smiling. Parker could not remember when the last the two of them had eaten dinner together.
"Of course Angel. Now I'm going to check with Doctor Mackenzie to make sure it's okay to take you home, and then the two of us will be off.

Sam waking was far less pleasant than Parker's. He like Will and Alley, was strapped down to his bed. Unlike the twins he had not endured electroshock therapy. Instead Sam had been given a drug that made him subjective to thoughts.
"Jesus," He groaned he felt as though he had a massive hangover.
"Good you're awake," Came Raines's voice from the corner. Sam tilted his head towards the doctor. "You never learn boy. You've always believed yourself to be something bigger. But in truth you like all the others are just a pawn."
"Screw you Raines," Sam replied, he was so tired of the game he had been forced into playing. He just wanted it to be over. "Just do what ever it is you're going to do."
Sam's screams of pain could be heard three sublevels above.

Sam woke up later that night in the infirmary. For the life of him he could not remember how he got there. He looked to his right and saw that Parker was sleeping in the chair next to him. He reached out and brushed a lock of hair out of her face.
"Hey," Parker said.
"Hey yourself," Sam replied. 'What happened?" He asked her.
"Don't you remember?" Sam shook his head. "There was a gas leak Sammy on one of the sublevels and something exploded. You were the only survivor."
"How long have I been out?"
"Since last night," Parker told him. "So you ready to come home?"
"Oh God yes. I swear I spend most of my life in this room. What about my charges?"
"Daddy has someone covering for you until your ready to come back," Parker told him. "Now lets get you home,"

The Centre
Will and Alley were covered in a light sheen of sweat. Their tiny bodies were so wired with the drugs that had been administered into their systems that they couldn't stop shaking. Tiny cuts decorated their bodies and there were burns from where the electrodes had laid.
"Who is this woman?" The doctor asked.
"I don't know," Will answered. He and Alley were connected to the Centre's version of a lie detector test. Five empaths sat in front of the children judging if they were telling the truth or not. The doctor looked over at the panel of empaths. They all nodded their heads.
"It appears as though the two of you have passed." The doctor said. Will and Alley began to cry.
"It's done sir. The pain that the two were forced to endure was tremendous. Never before has taken so long to renew someone. The children were quite stubborn when it came to remembering the face of their mother yet in the end we won," The doctor told Mr. Parker.
"They are to be the next generation to rule the Centre. It's good to know that they are strong. In fact I would have been more relived to know that they had lasted even longer," Mr. Parker said.
"Well sir a month certainly is the longest ever. Even when we reeducated Jarod to forget about Miss Parker and her sweeper it only took two weeks. And that was with the old method of reeducation. As you know Phoenix themselves revised the new form of reeducation and most seldomly last more than a week."
"Either way good job, Sigmund," Mr. Parker told the doctor.
"Thank you chairman. I take great pride in my work," Sigmund replied and left to return to his sub level, after all there was always someone at the Centre in need of a good reeducation.
Mr. Parker watched Sigmund leave and reached for his phone. "Make Sigmund disappear," Mr. Parker said into his phone. "Yes his family as well." And he hung up.

Will and Alley were in the infirmary, there reeducation having been deemed complete. Jen stood watch over the two children as they slept.
"They be okay," Came the sound of Jake's voice.
"I hope so. No one is quite sure," Jen said picking up the little boy and his sister.
"No Mac. They be okay," Rachael told the doctor.
"How do you to know?" Jen asked the twins. The twins shrugged their shoulders, then snuggled in to Jen's arms to get comfortable. The three kept a vigil over project Phoenix.
"Never forget you Momma," Will and Alley muttered in their sleep "Never forget." Jake and Rachael smiled.
Up next : Will and Alley recover from their trip to the renewal wing. And decide to do when it comes to Jarod
