Chapter 13 ~ Secrets Revealed
"Get word of what happened to the other plane," Parker ordered as she shifted into Ice Queen mode, "I want a car ready when we get there."
"What is going on?" Jarod asked as Sam started making calls on his phone.
"It does not concern you." Parker stated as hse walked over to the bar and grabbed some bottles of water for everyone.
"What is this hound that Sam mentioned?" Sydney asked as she handed everybody a bottle of water, worried about the look in her eyes.
"That is my business." Parker said as she sat next to Lyle and helped him to drink the water.
"We're traveling with you so that makes it's our problem as well." Jarod argued as they all drank some of the water.
"That won't a problem for long." Parker muttered to herself as Cameron came back into the cabin and nodded to her.
"Time to buckle up." Parker announced, "We will be landing in a couple of minutes."
"Were are we landing?" Ethan questioned as he drank the rest of the water in the bottle.
"It won't matter, I am the only one getting off." Parker said as the sleeping drug in their water started to take effect.
"You drugged us." Kyle accused as he and Sydney passed out.
"No, not safe." Lyle said as the plane landed and Ethan passed out.
"Don't worry everything is going to be alright." she whispered kissing Lyle's cheek as he passed out.
"Ok, you two get into the car." Parker ordered Cameron and Sam as they head towards the door.
"No." Jarod said grabbing Parker's arm as she walked by, still fighting the effect of the drug.
"It has to be this way." Parker said quietly kneeling down next to Jarod's chair, "I need you to protect my family for me."
"Help you." Jarod whispered slowly losing his fight with the drug.
"Sleep well, My Prince." Parker said pressing a quick kiss on his lip before getting of the plane.
Several Hours Later
Jarod slowly awoke to the sounds of waves crashing against the shore. He faintly remember Parker kissing him, but he was not sure if it was real or just his mind playing trick on him. Jarod sat up and saw Ethan sleeping on the couch across the room, while Sydney and Kyle sleep in chairs by the bed. The door to the room cracked opened as a small dark haired child peeked into the room.
"Hello." Jarod said softly as the child turned her haunting blue eyes towards him.
"Sleep." The little girl said pointing towards Ethan.
"Yes, they are all still asleep." Jarod said completely fascinated by how much this girl resembled Parker.
"Who are you talking to Jarod." Sydney asked as he awoke at the sound of Jarod's conversation.
"I am not sure, but take a look and tell me who she reminds you of." Jarod said as the child climbed up on the bed next to him.
"She look exactly like Parker." Sydney said in amazement staring at the girl.
"Who looks like Parker?" Ethan asked groggily from that couch.
"Ethan." The child squealed as she jumped off the bed and ran over to Ethan.
"Well, who ever she is it seems that she like you best." Kyle said as the girl's voice awoke him.
"I don't remember meeting her before." Ethan said as he felt a connection to the girl.
"Kitten, where are you?" A voice called from outside to door, as the child started to giggle.
"I think we may have discovered our little friend's name." Sydney said smiling at the giggling girl.
"Your awake," Syd said from the doorway, "Kitten, your not supposed to be in here."
"Ethan." Catherin said running over to her cousin.
"It is not nice to go running into other peoples rooms." Syd said taking her hand, "Mom has breakfast ready if you are hungry."
"You're the boy from the Centre," Jarod said as the men stood leaving the room, "Where are we and were is Lyle?"
"I think that my parents should answer those questions." Syd said as he led the men to the staircase were they were meet by Broots and his daughter, Debbie.
"Broots." Sydney said as the tech joined them, "It is good to see you and Debbie again."
"Where is Miss Parker?" Debbie asked looking around for her friend.
"She is not here, but I am sure that she will be joining us soon." Sydney said trying to reassure her.
"Mom is in the dinning room." Syd said stop the conversation before Catherine realized whom they were talking about.
"Lead the way." Jarod said to the boy.
"Welcome to our home." Shay Ling said as she greeted them at the doorway.
"I am seeing a ghost." Broots stammered as they all stared at Lyle's dead wife.
"As my sister aways says this is the Centre nobody dies anymore." Shay Ling said as she lead them into the dinning room, where Lyle and An were already seated.
"Well isn't this fun." Lyle muttered as they all took seats at the table.
"I think that introduction are in order." Shay Ling said sending her husband a look that said behave yourself.
"Fine, do what you want," Lyle said as he started to eat his breakfast, "You usually do anyway."
"My name is Shay Ling and these are our children, Sydney and An." Shay Ling said pointing towards her children.
"Whose children?" Kyle asked not sure that he had heard her correctly.
"My wife's and mine." Lyle replied as An finished her cereal and climbed up into her father's lap, "Anymore questions?"
"Robert, please," Shay Ling said before finishing the introduction, "And this little one is our niece, Catherine."
"I thought Parker had a son?" Jarod said as the other tried to deal with all the information they were receiving.
"A year ago we discovered that Raines and dear old Dad were playing God again." Lyle explained, "It is amazing what my sister can do if she thinks somebody is threatening her children."
"Is that what this is about you threatening her children." Jarod accused standing up as Sydney tried to calm him down.
"Do not you say mean thing about my Daddy." An yelled at Jarod from her father's lap as the Parker temper burning in her eyes.
"Young lady, we do not yell at the dinner table," Shay Ling said taking over the conversation, "Jarod, knowing your past with my husband I will let such accusations go, but you know nothing of out lives or that of my sisters."
"Mrs. Parker..." Sydney begin before being cut off.
"Dr. Green, Catherine Parker is the only Mrs. Parker in this house, you may call me Shay Ling." Shay Ling said smiling at the man who had tried to protect her sister.
"By sister, you are referring to Miss Parker? Sydney asked as Shay Ling nodded her head, "Do you know when she might be joining us."
"I will be in my office." Lyle said as he sat An in his chair and left the room.
"What wrong him?" Ethan asked feeling the distress coming from his brother.
"I do not know when she will be join us." Shay Ling said as the children finished eating.
"What about her son?" Jarod said still a little confused by everything that had happened.
"I believe that you have already meet Cameron." Shay Ling said with a smile, "You are all free to go anywhere on the Island, but until we know that it is safe, you needed to remain on the Island."
"Where are we?" Debbie asked shyly looking at Shay Ling.
"We are on a island in the Florida Keys, Debbie." Shay Ling answered with smile, seeing how this child quick stold Parker's heart.
"Friend." Catherine said trying to get out of her chair.
"How does she know who I am?" Ethan asked looking at the squirming child.
"Catherine seems to have the gift for it," Shay Ling said as she helped the little girl down, "She seems to know exactly what is in your heart, even if you don't."
"If you children are done, Miss Beth is upstairs ready for your lessons." Shay Ling said as the children finished their breakfast, "Debbie, you are welcome to join the children if you wish."
"Dad?" Debbie questioned turning towards her father.
"Sure." Broots said after a few minute deciding that if Miss Parker would trust her children with this woman, than Debbie would be safe with her.
"Shay Ling, what is this hound we have heard about?" Jarod asked the question on everyone's mind as Shay Ling moved towards the door.
"The devil." She said before leaving the men to finish their breakfast.
"Get word of what happened to the other plane," Parker ordered as she shifted into Ice Queen mode, "I want a car ready when we get there."
