Mr. Parker's office.

"Hopefully the operation will be a success." the doctor said to Raines.
"For your sake it better be successful". he wheezed.
" In about six weeks, we'll be able to know for sure". the doctor said. " I know it's not my place to ask, but… what happens after she finds out about the child?"
" You're right. It's none of your business." Mr. Parker said as he came in.
"You can go now." he dismissed the doctor.
" He's right, how are we going to keep track of her after she finds out?"
" We can have a sublevel prepared in about 3 weeks". Raines said.
" She is my daughter. She is not going to be kept here like some lab animal." Mr. Parker growled
" As of yesterday she became a project, that we can't afford to screw up." he wheezed. " The powers that be are getting restless" he added.
Mr. Parker advanced toward Mr. Raines.
" My daughter is not a p……" Mr. Parker started.
Someone knocked on the door.
" What?" Mr. Parker responded in anger.
The sweeper walked in slowly. " Umm, Sir… Doctor Anderson wants me to inform you that he has released Ms. Parker." he said.
" What?" Raines said.
" You're dismissed". Mr. Parker said to the both of them.
Mr. Parker sat somberly at his desk contemplating what Raines had just said.
" As of yesterday she became a project, that we can't afford to screw up.".

" Lyle, the doctor released me." Parker said as they got inside her house.
" That means that I am fine." she said.
" He said go home and rest, I'm sure he didn't mean for you to go home, change clothes then return to work." Lyle argued.
" Lyle, I'm fine" she said again.
" I mean Parker, Don't let me see your pretty mug in the Center…
" But…… You can't stop me." she said.
" You show up and I'll order a sweeper to bring you back home". he threatened.
" So" she sat on the couch " I guess I'll have to just drop kick every sweeper I see". she smiled.
Lyle sat next to her. " I just want what's best for you." she rolled her eyes.
" Parker. If you don't stay at home and relax, I'll never talk to you again". he said with his arms crossed over his chest.
" Aww, is little brother trying to be assertive. Isn't that cute." she teased.
" Parker!" Lyle yelled
" Ok, Ok, Fine. I'll stay at home and rellllaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxx." she said.
" Thank you". he said then went to the kitchen for a bite. " Call me if you need anything. Ok."
"Ok." Parker replied in a droned voice.
He kissed her on the forehead then was gone. There was chasing to be done.

After a couple of hours of boredom the phone rang, and Parker was more than happy to answer it.
"Hello". she said.
" Ms. Parker".
" Sydney, how's it going." she asked.
" I was going to ask you the same question" he chuckled
" I'm fine, Sydney Thanks for calling." she said.
My father hasn't even bothered to do that she thought.
" I heard all the sweepers were to be on the lookout for you"
" Yeah, Lyle is being annoying" she mumbled.
" He has your best interest at heart, and I agree with him."
" Wow! A good old fashion gang up. Anybody else in on it." she laughed and Sydney laughed along with her.
" I'll see you tomorrow at work?" Sydney asked.
" Yes, you will." she answered.
" Bye Parker." he said
" See you later, Sydney."

The phone rang a couple of minutes after Sydney had put it down in it's cradled.
" This is Sydney." he answered.
" Hello, Sydney". Jarod sounded a little off.
" Are you alright ?".
" Remember what today is ?" he asked.
" Yes, Are you okay ?" he replied.
" I'm fine, Sydney. Just fine".
" Are you drunk?" Sydney asked.
" Whatever happened to Parker ?" he asked.
" He's still in charge of the Center Jarod". Sydney said
" I know that Sydney. I meant his daughter.
" Oh, Ms.Parker. Last time I checked she was fine" he said
" That night." Jarod started.
" Yes , that night." Sydney responded.
' In a way, some part of me is still kind of waiting…for"
" I'm sure she had a perfectly good reason for not…."
" Yeah, I'm sure she did." Jarod interrupted then hung up.
