MISS PARKER'S HOUSE.
~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~
With a deep sigh, Miss Parker collapsed into her couch. It was much more tiring to be chased than to chase. No doubt it was. She looked up and saw Jarod sit down next to her. He started to talk, telling her about what happened. When he was finished he gave her a pleading look.
"Do you believe me?" he asked. *** I'm not lying, I would never to that to you. ***
Miss Parker nodded slowly.*** Please, talk about something else before I start to cry. *** She cleared her throat. "We are in big trouble," she announced. Jarod gave her a questioning look.
"Lyle," Miss Parker said simply. Jarod immediately understood. "And Sydney and Broots," he added. Now it was Miss Parker's turn to look confused.
"Maybe it's not that serious, but I happened to call you a 'she' and I kind of panicked when I herd Lyle was after you, they must think I have totally lost it," Jarod smiled. *** Hmmm, maybe this is good, now they will see how much she cares about me, she does? Doesn't she? ***
Miss Parker returned the smile. She imagined the looks on their faces. It must have been quite fun. *** Sydney will think I need to see a shrink! ***
"The sweeper team, you have to call them," she suddenly said.
"Do I have to?" Jarod asked with a grin. *** Why did she have to remember that? ***
Miss Parker sighed. "No matter how much I hate him, I can't let him die," she said.
*** But he's evil...*** "Fine, give me the phone," Jarod surrendered.
Miss Parker glared at him. "Get it yourself!" she snapped. *** What does he think I am? ***
Jarod walked up to the phone, picked it up and without thinking he dialled one of the numbers concerning the Centre he knew about.
A cell phone started to ring. Both Miss Parker and Jarod looked around, confused.
"It's mine..." Jarod said, taking up the small phone from his pocket. *** Oh my god, what if it's Raines!? ***
"No! idiot! It's mine!" Miss Parker snapped. She snatched the phone out of his hand, flipped it open to answer.
"But..." Jarod protested, but it was too late.
"WHAT!" Miss Parker almost screamed. There was no response.
"What the hell do you want!" *** Talk to me dammit! ***
There was a silence. Jarod slowly turned his head and gave her a puzzled look. Soon his look was replaced by a grin. He started to chuckle.
Miss Parker gave him an annoyed look. *** Does he think this is funny? Bastad! ***
"Parker, I think I called you," Jarod stated. Still smiling, he hung up.
Miss Parker stared at him as if he was an idiot. She snapped her phone closed and threw it at the couch.
"HOW DAMN STUPID CAN YOU GET!" she screamed. *** I can't believe it, he called me! What an idiot! ***
Jarod just smiled dumbly. *** It's not my fault. I never called a sweeper team, isn't that obvious? ***
Miss Parker couldn't hold back a smile. *** He is so cute when he does that, Shit! ***
"What's the number?" Jarod asked. Miss Parker told him and he dialled the number, waiting nervously for someone to answer.
~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~
LATER. AT THE CENTRE.
~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~
Jarod was sitting in Miss Parker's office when the door suddenly opened and Mr. Parker walked in. He had an angry look on his face and walked straight up to his daughter. *** Eh oh... ***
"Angel, I knew what you did, and that's not acceptable at the Centre. I want to know why," he said.
Jarod got up on his feet to face the older man. Shit! This was not good. Damn Lyle, he had obviously told him. *** No one will believe him, yeah, like hell! ***
"It was an accident daddy," He tried. But the angry look on Mr. Parker's face told him he didn't believe a word of what he was saying.
"Don't lie to me."
Jarod swallowed hard. What was he going to say?
"You shot your brother and literally walked away with Jarod. You are on his side," Mr. Parker stated. "How long have this been going on? I guess that's why you never captured him. I can't let you do this anymore; you'll get a new assignment. Lyle and sweepers are going to handle the chase for Jarod from now, is that clear?"
Jarod stared at him in shock. "You can't replace me!" he said. *** This can't be happening! ***
"I don't have a choice."
"How can you do this to your own daughter! Don't you care about her at all?!" Jarod almost screamed. *** Miss Parker is going to be so upset! How am I going to tell her? ***
Mr. Parker gave him a confused look. "Angel, since when do you talk about yourself in third person?" he asked.
Jarod realized his mistake. *** Shit! Not again! ***
Mr. Parker didn't wait for him to answer. "I'll inform Sydney and Broots. You're not allowed to work with this anymore. Do you understand?" he said.
Jarod couldn't do anything else than to nod. Mr. Parker left and Jarod slowly sat down. He rested his face in his hands, sighing deeply.

LATER THAT NIGHT. MISS PARKER'S HOUSE.
~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~ ~¤~¤~¤~
"I can't believe it! This is the worst day in my life! WHY! Jarod, WHY?!" Miss Parker screamed. Jarod gave her a sad look.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything;" Jarod mumbled. *** Hey! You should be glad! Now you don't have a reason to stay there! ***
"I'm replaced? I'm not going to chase you anymore! Do you have any idea of what this means!? Lyle will be chasing after me, and when we switch back, I won't be able to protect you!" Miss Parker said upset. The last sentence came out before she had a chance to stop it. Jarod gave her a surprised look. Miss Parker sat down at the couch, whining. *** Can it possible get any worse? ***
"Is that what you are doing?" Jarod asked amused. *** I knew it! ***
Miss Parker glared at him. "I'm not going to answer that," she snarled.
Jarod smiled at her. "You don't have to," he said with a smirk. *** YES! She loves me! ***
With a deep sigh, Miss Parker leaned back in the couch. She grabbed one of the pillows and held it close to her. Jarod gave her a look. He raised an eyebrow.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" he asked.
"NO! SHUT UP!" Miss Parker screamed, surprising both herself and Jarod. Jarod walked to sit down next to her. She glared at him, but didn't say anything.
They just sat there for a long time. None of them were talking. Finally Miss Parker turned her head to look at Jarod.
"I have to come with you," she said in a low voice.
Jarod gave her a puzzled look.
"Come with me? Where?" *** Is she serious? ***
"How the hell should I know!?" Miss Parker snapped. "I just mean that I'll come with you, wherever it is you are going," she said in a nicer voice.
*** Oh my god! YES! *** Jarod looked at her as if he didn't understand what she was saying. *** This is fun... *** Miss Parker whimpered. Why didn't he understand? Why did she have to repeat it when it was so hard to say it at all?
"I'm..." she started but stopped as she didn't know how to rephrase it. *** What the hell is this? Is he stupid?! ***
"Jarod, I'm leaving the Centre, and I'll come with you..." Miss Parker said in a low voice "Is that okay?" she added. *** Now he HAS to understand! ***
Jarod smiled. "Yes it is, I'm glad!" he said as his smile grew even bigger.
Miss parker let out a sigh of relief.
"And just so you know, I knew what you meant the first time you mentioned it," Jarod added with a smug smile. Miss Parker gasped.
"You bastard! Why did you let me go on!?" She almost screamed.
"Fun," Jarod said simply. *** Don't be mad honey... ***
"Do you know how embarrassing it is?" Miss Parker mumbled. *** How could I be so damn stupid! Of course he knew! *** Jarod gave her an encouraging smile. Soon Miss Parker relaxed and returned the smile. *** Why can I never stay mad at him? How can it be so hard? ***
"Where are we going? It's your choice," she said.
"No, it's our choice."
