Chapter 12 ~ Facing the Truth

"You do not know anything about what is going, so I suggest that you stay out of this." Jarod said starting to get annoyed at this boy's attitude.
"That is enough." Parker yelled grabbing Cameron's arm and hauling him towards the room Lyle was, "You stay in there and cool down."
"You seem to know that boy." Sydney observed as Parker started to pace, not really wanting to answer the question that was coming next.
"Who is the boy that your father was talking about and why does the Centre want him?" Kyle asked as Parker continued to pace.
"As I said at the Centre, he was my son." Parker said still pacing as Sam moved to stand guard in front of Lyle's door.
"You have never been pregnant." Jarod stated that sure what she was up to, but that sure what.
"This the Centre we're talking about, monkey-boy" Parker said, "They cloned you, so do you really think they would ask me before creating a child."
"How did it happen?" Ethan asked worried about how upset she seemed.
"I was in the infirmary, when I was sixteen." Parker said breathing deeply, "Daddy decide that it would be a perfect time to harvest some of my eggs and nine months later my baby boy was born."
"How did you find out about him?" Jarod demanded knowing that there was no reference to this child in the Centre mainframe.
"Stop it, I will not discuss this anymore." Parker yelled back startling everyone before entering the room where Lyle was.
"Parker we're not done." Jarod said walking towards the room only to be stopped by Sam.
"Nobody but the boss goes in there." Sam said stand in front of the door, "I suggest that you go and sit down.

Parker leaned against the door and took a deep breath. She walked over to where Cameron lay sleeping on the floor and covered him with a blanket, before turning her attention to the bed. Parker unstrapped Lyle and gentle arranged the cover. He still had not moved or regained conciseness and this fact alone scared her the most.
"Time to wake up, Lyle." Parker said sitting down on the bed next to him.
"Come on this isn't funny anymore, wake up." Parker said with tear in her eyes, "You promised me, remember when Tommy die, you promised that you would never leave me."
"I am begging you, open your eyes Bobby." She pleaded and begged him to wake up.
"Could not get rid of me if you tried." Lyle said hoarsely opening his eyes to see her beautiful face staring back at him.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again, I mean it Bobby." Parker said wiping her tear away with her hand.
"You're upset, why?" Lyle asked knowing that she only used his childhood name when she was scared or upset.
"They wanted to talk about Cameron." Parker said sighing.
"You need to sleep." Lyle suggested knowing that nothing would help stop the memories that were haunting her.
"Cameron is not dealing well with Jarod, I want to make sure that he doesn't do anything stupid." Parker said shaking head at his suggestion of sleep.
"That boy is like his mother, he could eat them alive out there if he wanted to." Lyle said Parker curled up next to him.
"I will close my eyes for just a minute, if it will get you to stop nagging me." Parker said with a yawn and quickly fell fast asleep.
"Sleep in peace, Angel." Lyle said softly as he kissed her forehead before falling back asleep himself.
'I don't care who he thinks he is, this pretender is not tearing my family apart.' Cameron thought as looked at his mother and uncle resting peaceful. He got up quietly a crept out of the room, nodding to Sam as he exited and walked over the mini bar for a bottle of water. Sydney watched him out of the corner of his eye and notice that Jarod to was paying close attention to boy was well.
"How is Parker?" Ethan asked still worried about her.
"Why haven't you upset her enough for one night?" Cameron snarled knowing that his mother would kill him for talking to his uncle like this.
"We can't help her if we don't know what is going on." Kyle said still trying to puzzle out where this kid fit into all of this.
"I have seen your kind of help," Cameron said glaring at Jarod, "I seen her so upset by one of your little gifts, that she will sit a stare at her gun for hours try to decide if she should just pull the trigger and end it. Does it make you feel better?"
"You belong in a cage," Cameron spat at Jarod finally being able to release all of the anger, he felt towards the pretender for all of the pain and sorrow that his presents had caused over the years, "The monster is you, not Lyle."
"Tell the pilot to land at the secondary site, we have a change in plan." Sam said after getting of his phone as Parker helped Lyle into the main cabin.
"What is it now?" Parker demanded feeling more like her old self, as she helped Lyle to sit down on the sofa and Cameron went to tell the pilot about the change of destination.
"They have released the hound on us." Sam said grimly as Parker whipped around to face as the shock of his words evident on her face.
