Chapter 11 ~ Lyle

Local Airport
4:00 pm

"We're here, no what?" Jarod asked turning to face the backseat.
"There is a private hanger on the south side of the airport." Sam directed, "I will get us by the guard."
"Sam, do you know where we are going?" Sydney questioned the sweeper.
"You know that I can't answer that question, Dr. Green." Sam stated as he turned his attention towards Lyle.
"He not going anywhere." Kyle said notice how close the sweeper watches Lyle.
"Miss Parker left him in my care and I am not going to betray her trust." Sam replied as the guard stopped them.
"This is a restricted area, you will have to leave now." The guard said with his hand on the gun.
"It alright Garrett, they're with me." Sam said leading forward, "Did the boss arrive?"
"She flew by here a few minutes ago, that the cause of the increased security." The guards said way them through.
"Jarod, I think that you might take another look at Lyle." Kyle suggested notice how flush his cheeks were.
"I will check him once we are onboard." Jarod said as he followed Sam's direction to a private jet.
Ethan said as he ran down the steps of the plane.
Sam and Kyle carried Lyle on to the plane and placed him the back bedroom. Parker told Cameron to tell that pilot that they were ready for take off. Sydney tried to get more information out of Parker but her focus was solely on her brother and his survival.
"I want to check his shoulder again before we take off." Jarod said as moved to the other side of the bed.
"Well how is he?" Parker asked crossing her arms around her.
"The bullet went through his shoulder." Jarod explained as he redressed the wound, "We need to make sure that it does not get infected and that he get lots of rest."
"The pilot says that we will be taking off in a few minutes." Cameron said from the doorway, "How is he?"
"Jarod says the he should be fine." Parker said as she put her hand on Jarod's arm to stop him, causing him to look at her questionably.
"I want to say thank for helping, Lyle." Parker said quietly giving him a small smile.
"We need to strap him in." Jarod said as Parker nodded, not sure of how to deal with this change in her and not noticing the dark look that Cameron was sending him.
"We had better get strapped in too." Parker said as they finished strapping Lyle to the bed.
She entered the main cabin and sat down on the sofa that was against the wall. Cameron sat down beside her as Ethan sat down on the others side. Sydney and Sam took up the two seats facing towards the front of the plane with Jarod and Kyle taking the seats facing the back. Sydney observed how close the boy stayed to Parker and how close they seemed to be.
"Now, Parker, I think that we deserved some answers to our questions." Jarod said still a little off balance of how she acted earlier.
"She does not owe you anything." Cameron said not will to let anybody order his other mother around.
"That enough boys." Parker said stopping Jarod before he could reply, "I will answer some of your question now, but some will have to wait."
"How long have you know that Lyle was your brother?" Sydney asked a little angry that she did not trust him with this secret.
"Who is Cameron?" Ethan asked the question that echo through his mind.
"Why is he so important to the Centre?" Jarod asked still on believing that she could have keep a secret child hidden from him.
"Whoa, one question at a time." Parker said choosing to answer the question about her brother first.
"I meet Lyle when I was six." Parker said as she smiled at the happy memory, "Raines had brought him to the Centre for some tests. I remember walking in the Centre that morning with Momma and feeling someone call to me," then taking a deep breath she continued, "I don't know what Raines did to him, he would never tell me, but I found him curled up in a ball in the back of his cell."
"Then what happen?" Sydney prompted her to continue.
"I knelt down next to him and he looked up at me," Parker said as the plane took off, "I knew, I don't know how but I just knew."
"Knew what?" Kyle asked as everybody sat there waiting of her to finish.
"I knew that he was the one who called to me, that it was his presence I could feel," Parker said, "I used to have these horrible nightmare about a part of me being ripped away and when I looked into his eyes I found that missing part."
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Sydney said angry at her silence, "We could have protected him from Raines."
"Raines caught me." Parker said closing her eyes at the next part of the story, "He had two sweeper beat Lyle unconscious in front of me, and he said that if I told anyone about my brother that they would find him dead the next morning."
"So that it you didn't see him again until he returned to the Centre." Jarod said not believing that she would give up so easily.
"No, I had Angelo sneak me down to his cell the next day." Parker said, "We talked through the air duck for hours."
"You did not tell your mother about him." Jarod said hurt that she kept this from him.
"Raines threaten Lyle that he would kill Momma and I if anybody found out about him." Parker explained, "We made sure that we kept in contact with each other and arranged meeting when every we could."
"That where you would disappear to after your mother die." Sydney said remembering all of the times that nobody could find her.
"I did have to worry about anything, I knew that I was safe with him." Parker said knowing that the hard question with coming next.
"It still does not change the fact the he is a monster." Jarod said not will to forgive Lyle for all that he had done.
"He is not the monster, you're the monster." Cameron accused not will to sit by and let anybody attack a member of his family without a fight.
