Timeline: 1 month after the island of Carthis
"WHAT?" Miss Parker answered her phone.
"Miss P we found him, we found Jarod!'' Broots answered.
"I'm coming right now." Miss Parker hung up.
She walked through the dark halls of the Centre.
This could be the last time that she was here. All her life she had been locked up in this cruel place, with it's dark secrets. Maybe this time she could leave this place and start a real life.
As she walked through the hall, she heard a scream, it came from the room at the end of the hall. But that was in SL-27, no one was allowed to go there. She could check it out, Jarod wouldn't run away (in a matter of speaking).
Slowly she walked through the dark hall, and stopped at the door. She reached for the door-knob, but suddenly the door opened.
She had to hide, but where? She wasn't supposed to be here.
Her heart bounced in here ears. In a flash she saw that the door next to the room was open.
Miss Parker ran to the room and closed the door.
Miss Parker waited until the man walked around the corner. She turned and opened the door. A little girl was sitting on her bed and looked up, but as soon she saw Miss Parker she tried to hide.
"You don't have to be scared, I'm not going to hurt you'' Miss Parker told her.
The little girl looked up and said " Then, why are you here?"
" I'm here to help you'' Miss Parker replied.
Slowly she walked over to the girl and sat down next to her.
"What's your name?'' asked the little girl.
"Well, My friends call me Miss Parker''.
"My name is Hope".
"That's a beautiful name." Miss Parker said.
"Will you be my friend the little girl asked?''.
"Sure.'' miss Parker said.
"I've never had a girlfriend before.'' Hope said.
When she heard those words she couldn't move a muscle. Those were the same words she had said 18 years ago, when she met her sister Faith. Today was the day that Faith had died 18 years ago.
"Are you ok?" hope asked.
Miss Parker couldn't say anything all she could do was nod. Her eyes were full of tears, she started to cry.
"What's wrong? Please don't cry." The little girl looked at her with big eyes.
"Don't cry you have to cheer up." Hope said with a sweet smile on her face.
The smile of that little girl made miss Parker smile, and she hadn't smiled in a long time.
"I'm sorry Hope, but I really have to go now." Miss Parker said
"But you said you would help me!" Hope said with a disappointed face.
"I will help you, just not yet." Parker replied.
" But you don't know what they do when they come back, they have big needles and they are taking blood out of me and injecting me with something else, look!" Hope said as she pulled up her sweater.
Miss Parker couldn't believe what she saw; the little girl had little needle scars and a lot of bruises
" I promises I will come back to help you". She gave the little girl a kiss on her forehead.
She got up and walked to the door. Just before she opened the door she turned around and spoke to Hope one last time. "Please don't tell anyone I was here."
"No I won't tell anyone'' Hope said.
"Thanks.'' Miss Parker said.
She opened the door to see if the coast was clear. She walked out of the room and closed the door. Miss Parker wiped a tear away, and walked away from SL-27.
