LATER THAT DAY.
THE CENTRE.

Jarod sat at the desk of Miss Parker's office when suddenly the door flew open. He looked up and saw Lyle standing in the doorway. With an evil glare at what he thought was his sister; he walked up to the desk.
*** Shit! Not him, please make him go away! ***
"You idiot!" Lyle snarled.
Jarod got up on his feet, staring at the other man. First he didn't know how to act.
"What the hell were you thinking of? We could have had him by now!" Lyle continued.
"It was an accident dammit!" Jarod snapped.
"Yeah, don't you think I know what you are doing," Lyle said in a threatening tone.
"You don't know a fucking shit about me! Get out of here!"
Lyle gave his sister a smug smile. Then he left the room. Jarod shivered. What was he up to? This didn't look good. He walked up to the door and watched Lyle disappear.

LATER THAT DAY.

"Miss Parker, you are not going to believe this!" Jarod looked up and saw Broots, followed by Sydney walk into the office.
"What?" he asked.
"Mr. Lyle found Jarod in your house, he said he was checking up on you and Jarod was there, why would he be checking up on you?" Broots asked.
"Miss Parker are you alright?" Sydney asked as he saw the look on her face. Jarod swallowed hard.
"Has he caught her?" he asked without thinking of what he said.
"Her?" Broots asked confused.
*** Shit! Did I say her? Dammit! ***
"I mean him, has Lyle caught him?"
"I don't know, I think Jarod managed to escape, but Lyle is still after him," Sydney said.
"Oh no... I mean YES! Maybe we'll finally have him!" Jarod said with a false smile on his lips.
*** Oh Parker, I'm so sorry... please be okay... ***
"I'm afraid Lyle will hurt him," Sydney mumbled.
Jarod gasped. Without saying anything he got up on his feet and ran out of the room. He had to get to her; he just couldn't let Lyle hurt her. He'd promised her he would keep Lyle away.
"Miss Parker?" Sydney shouted. He turned to Broots.
"What is she doing?" he asked with confusion written all over his face.
~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~
Miss Parker rounded the corner as fast as she could. She was desperate; she had to find somewhere to hide! She heard Lyle shout something. Until now, she had no idea of how it felt like to being chased for real. She had no idea of the fear and desperation that was going through her body. God, was this how Jarod felt? All of the sudden she realized the road was a dead end. She stopped dead in her tracks, giving the high barrier in front of her a terrified look. She spun around, desperately searching for somewhere to go. *** Please... don't let him get me... please... ***
"Jarod! How does it feel to not have anywhere to run?" Lyle shouted as he walked up to her with his gun drawn. He smiled evilly.
Miss Parker didn't know what to do. She had never been this frightened in a very long time. What was she going to do?
"Don't look so scared. I won't hurt you," Lyle said. "badly..." he added with a smirk. Miss Parker was still searching for somewhere to go.
"There's no need to do that, this time you won't get away," Lyle said, raising his gun. With a finger on the trigger he pointed it at her stomach.
*** He is going to shoot! Oh my god, please don't hurt me... I'm your sister! Please!***
Miss Parker closed her eyes and waited. A gunshot sounded. She pressed her eyes closer together and waited for the bullet to hit her. But to her surprise nothing happened. Trembling, she opened her eyes again. What she saw made her let out a loud gasp of shock.
Lyle was lying on the ground, clutching his shoulder. Behind him, Jarod was standing.
"Jarod!" Miss Parker screamed. *** Shit! Dammit, I called him Jarod! Why the hell did I do that***
"What the hell is going on?" Lyle asked.
"Nothing you need to worry about. Just shut up!" Jarod snarled. With his gun still pointed at him, he walked up to Miss Parker.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Miss Parker just stared at him. *** Are you hurt? No! You can't be! Talk to me. ***
"Parker?" he whispered.
"I'm fine, why the hell did you sent him after me, you promised you wouldn't," she said.
"I didn't... I'll tell you later.
"You could have killed me! Was that what you wanted?!" Miss Parker almost screamed. *** How could you? Don't you know how much I love you? Would it be different if you did? ***
"I'm sorry, when I found out it was too late to stop him," Jarod said.
"Like I would believe that!" *** is that true? Do you care about me... please care...***
"Dammit, we don't have time for this, we have to figure something out, Lyle is shot, and I'm sure he knows too much already," Jarod said, changing the subject.
*** He doesn't... oh my god... no...***
Miss Parker closed her eyes to pull herself together. Slowly she opened them again.
"No one will believe him, we'll just leave him here and call a sweeper team to take care of him," she said. She tried to sound could but her voice trembled slightly as she spoke. Jarod nodded.
"Let's go then!" Without looking back, they both walked away.
