LJP- Sorry you didn't like the fact that Will and Alley went through everything and still remembered Parker was their Mom. But I was trying to show how strong the twins were. Glad you still like the story though

Erikstrulove- yea you're back. Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Glad you liked the introduction to the last five black files so much. Yes Alexander comes back but not in this story. He had a few appearances in "Black Files" and I'm going to try to give him some more stuff to do in the sequel to the Black files. But if you really want I may see about bring him back for a chapter or two. Now Alexander/Lex wasn't adopted he's Mike and Maddie's father.

Don't worry soon I'll be posting a character list to keep you from being confused on who's who. Maybe I'll do it later today as my Christmas gift for everyone.

I'm pretty sure that Markus is dead. But who knows maybe he is alive out there some where. Oh …idea. I'll see what I can do with it later on.


CHAPTER 30

RUNNING OUT OF TIME

The Centre

Jen woke up to the weight of Jake and Rachael being lifted off of her lap. She looked up and saw Sam holding the twins.

"Morning," Jen mumbled.

"Good morning," Sam replied. "I figured that the two of them would be up here with you."

"They love medicine, who can blame them." Jen said.

"I think it has more to do with your patients than you, no offense," Sam told her nodding towards Will and Alley.

"None taken." Jen yawned.

"Hey when's the last time you've been home?" Sam asked her.

"I could ask you the same," Jen shot back.

"Yeah but I have an excuse, when I'm not around Willie looks after Jake, Rach, Cass, Marc, Terra and Toby. Sophie gets the younger ones. Which is fine I trust her with them. I don't trust Willie. You one the other hand don't have to worry about violent sweepers tending to your patients," Sam said.

"I do with these two," Jen said nodding towards the sleeping forms of Will and Alley.

"I warned them to stop wondering about the Centre. I told them repeatedly how dangerous it was. But they don't listen. They never listen. God I hope they do now," Sam whispered shaking his head. Sam had learned form Jen that the twins had been sent to the lower sub levels and reeducated.

"I'm just relived that their back. They must be strong. Rumor has it that it's never taken a month to reeducate anyone," Jen said.

"Yeah well what do you expect from those two. They're the most stubborn people I've even met, save my sister."

"How has she been doing by the way? And you?"

"Were both doing fine, thanks. I've been making sure she's been eating right and she's been making sure I rest enough and don't run myself ragged. I hard job with me watching after these monsters," Sam joked as he gestured towards the sleeping twins in his arms. "Well let me get them back to their room before anyone else discovers that they're gone. And hey when the Wonder Twins over there wake up let me know."

"Will do," Jen said.

"And go home and get some sleep," Sam called over his shoulder as he left the infirmary.

" 'ammy?" Rachael said her voice heavy with sleep.

"Yes," Sam replied

"Things dif-rent now," Jake said softly.

"They sure are," Sam said.

"Things change now," Rachael spoke. Sam nodded his head. Things were changing, Will and Alley were proof of that. The Centre had become tired of the twins behavior so they had the twins reeducated.

And then there were the five youngest Black files. They were only a month old and Sam could see that not just Alex and her two brothers shared an telepathic link but the three triplets also shared a telepathic link with their two cousins. The five children were expected to start talking with in the next six months maybe even sooner. Jake and his sister didn't even start talking until they were eight months. Terra and Tobias had just begun to talk and they were seven months. But then again Terra and Tobias had always been rather quite.

"Not like dis ever 'ammy," Jake told Sam. "We go be free,"

"Don't let Raines here you talking like that Jakey," Sam warned the boy as he sat the twins in their cribs. Jake and Rachael blew a raspberry and Sam chuckled. The eldest set of Black Files never bothered to hide their disdain for Raines. In fact the twins rarely got along with anyone other than Sam and Jen.

"Nix special 'ammy?" Rachael asked her sweeper as Sam sat the twins in their crib.

"Yes Phoenix is very special," Sam confirmed "But you two know that already don't you?" Sam asked. Jake and Rachael nodded their heads. Sam was suddenly struck with an idea.

"Jakey, Rach are there more people here like Phoenix? Are there special people here like Phoenix?" Jake and Rachael shook their heads.

"No peoples like nix 'ammy. Gots babies like nix. Three babies." Jake told Sam.

"Which three babies?" Sam asked but he already knew the answer.

"You know 'ammy. You alway know. 'Cept dey took from you." Rachael said. "Made you no know,"

"The Centre made me forget that Air, Andy, and Alex were Will and Alley's siblings?" Sam gasped. The twins brought their index fingers to their lips.

"Sush 'ammy dey hear," The twins said irritated.

"You no tell nix. Dey gots other worries." Jake said.

"No tell babies either. Dey learns soon nuff." Rachael warned.

"Alright," Sam promised. "Now you to get some sleep. I'll be back around nine to check on you two," Sam told the children.

"You got date?" Jake asked.

"Yes a breakfast date with my sister. Because I've been wrapped up with you brats the past year I seldomly get to see her. Now go to sleep," Sam repeated. Jake and Rachael laid down side by side, closed their eyes and pretended to snore.

"Fakers," Sam muttered.

"Sush 'ammy we sleepin'," Rachael whispered. Sam walked out of the room chuckling.

"Knock, knock," Sam said cracking open the door to Parker's office.

"Hey stranger, long time, no see." Parker said smiling at the sight of the sweeper.

"I know what has it been now three hours?" Sam joked.

"Oh five at least," Parker replied.

"So you and me lunch? Dinner at your place later?"

"Works for me." Parker told him. "Hey what are you doing next weekend?"

"Nothing I can't clear my schedule of. Why?" Sam asked.

"You want to accompany me on a weekend get away to Phoenix?" Parker questioned.

"W-what?" Sam asked, as far as he knew Parker had no knowledge of Will and Alley.

"Phoenix, Arizona. You know where the annual training seminar is held for all corporate members. You wanna come? You can keep all of the annoying men from hitting on me."

"If you'd ware longer skirts it'd keep the men from hitting on you," Sam muttered.

"I heard that. So are you in or not?" Parker asked again.

"Why not. I just need to clear my schedule for the weekend," Sam told her. "So you ready to go to breakfast?"

"I was waiting on you," Parker said.

"Well then lets go," Sam said tossing her, her jacket.

"Sammy?" Parker said as the two walked out of her office.

"Yeah Mor."

"You'd tell me if you where keeping something secret from me right?" She asked. Sam forced a smile.

"You know I'd never keep anything form you Mor," Sam said.


He hated the Centre. Over the past year Sam had been forced to keep secrets form the one person he loved more than anything else in the world. It killed a part of him to lie to Parker. But Sam had the feeling that it would be dangerous for Parker to know about his job guarding the Black Files. Especially after Jake and Rachael had told him that the Centre had him forget the connection between the Phoenix twins and Aaron, Andros, and Alex. 'What else did they make me forget,' Sam wondered.

Over breakfast Parker and Sam reminisced over their childhood. They avoided the topic of work all together. Parker knew that Sam was keeping something from her but she knew that he had his reasons for it.But it still didn't stop her from not liking the fact that there were now secrects between the to of them

Will woke up and saw that once again he was in an all white room.

"No, no," He began to yell and in the process waking up his sister. Their combined cries had Jen running over to them.

"Will, Alley, it's all right. You're safe," Jen said attempting to calm down the panicking twins.Eventually the twins heart rate slowed down, and their breathing returned to normal.

"How do you to feel?" Jen asked them. Will and Alley just stared at her. "Stupid question. Forgive me," Jen replied. "You to want some morphine to dull the pain?"

"No," Will and Alley said softly. Jen wasn't surprised. Will and alley hated anything that dull their thinking abilities. And though the twins trusted Jen they were still leery about anything administered to them through and IV or needle. Will and Alley had been in Raines's care long enough that nothing good ever came from an ejection.

"H-how long has it been?" Will asked Jen

"A month," Jen replied. Will and Alley looked up at the doctor in disbelief.

"'S new record," Alley said weakly.

"That's not funny Alyssa," Jen reprimanded.

"Sorry," the twins replied.

"Are you two thirsty?" Jen asked them. The children began to nodded their heads vigorously, but quickly stopped when a bolt pain surged though their heads. Jen went and got the two children each a cup of ice chips. The two children slowly and carefully ate the ice chips as to avoid any sudden movements that would cause extreme pain to their bruised bodies.

"Sam will be happy to know that the two of you are awake," Jen told them. "He's been quite worried about the two of you. For a second we thought that they shipped the two of you off to Africa." She said brushing the hair out of their faces. Will let out a harsh bark of laughter, that startled Jen.

"Mr. Parker nor Raines will never let the Zulu's take us." Alley spoke, answering the startled look on Jen's face.

"Why not?" Jen asked.

"We can't tell you." Will said.

"Did they make you two forget?"

"No, they could never make us forget." Alley said "We could never forget her," she whispered so low Jen could not hear.

"Then why can't you tell me?"

"For your safety. Sam's protected you're not." Will told her bluntly. Jen took the hint to drop the subject.

"Where is the sweeper extrodinair?" Alley asked changing the topic.

"Sam had some business to attend to in town." Jen answered. Will and Alley raised an eyebrow at the doctor.

"Somehow we doubt that," The twins said in unison.

"Alright his at breakfast with Miss Parker. He's usually here watching over the two of you. And every since the two of you have been gone he's been keeping a tight watch over his other charges. Now the two of you need to get some rest," Jen lightly reprimanded, the doctor took the twins empty cups from their hands and checked their pulse. Satisfied the doctor went to check on her other charges.

Shortly after Jen had left the twins Jake and Rachael made their way back into the infirmary.

"Wake now," Jake commented as he and Rachael climbed onto Will and Alley's bed.

"Yes we're awake," Will yawned.

"Though not for long," Alley continued.

"You see now? Make dem leave. Gotta," Rachael told the older twins.

"You know not what you ask," Will hissed.

"Know zactaly," Jake replied. "You no do they die."

"Have more death on hands only dis time got you's daddy's death," Rachael spoke.

"If we do what the two of you are proposing we may kill them inadvertently. We can't control it." Alley said.

"Learn," Jake replied annoyed that the other set of twins were making excuses.

"Why should we believe anything the two of you say? For all we know this is a trick." Will said.

"No trick." Rachael all but yelled. "Runnin' out o' time. Must hurry." Jake and Rachael then leapt off the bed and returned to wince they came from.

"They're right Al," Will said after the twins had left. "We have to do it."

"Will you said so yourself that we'll find another way," Alley argued.

"Yeah, but it's our family we're talking about now little sister. Our Dad even. We have to make him get out of here."

"'M scared Will. What if something goes wrong. What if they find out we had something to go with his escape. Not only will they kill him, they might kill us." Alley said.
