BLUE GOVE DELAWARE

Broots scrurried to the dark den that the trio worked on affairs concerning Jarrod. "Ms Parker, he's been sighted."

"Where Broots?" Ms Parker rose from her chair and looked at Broots expectantly.

"An agent in California has traced him to a small town an hour or so outside of Los Angeles. Sunnydale." He practically ran down the stairs and stood in front of the desk where Syndey continued to worked.

"Sunnydale? That sounds familiar. Have you ran the town through the system?"

"Done, and the results are incredible. I mean, you can't make this kinda stuff up, you know?"Broots handed her a manilla folder and she hurriedly opened it and scanned its contents.

"Sunnydale is to California as Blue Gove is to Delaware, if you catch my driff,"Broots stated.

"What kind of sick and demented person funded these experiments?"

Broots cleared his throat and Sydney looked up to see the young man shifting uncomfortably.

"Broots?" He asked gently.

"Well, it's, uh, you're not going to believe me when I tell you. It's, um," Broots stammered.

"Out with it Broots, I want to know everything before we fly out," Parker sternly commanded.

"Know everything about what, dear sister?"Mr. Lyle crept out of the shadows, startling Broots. Parker just rolled her eyes and picked up some more folder from the desk, shuffling the one on Sunnydale to the bottom.

"We've got a lead on Jarrod, he was seen at a bar in Houston by one of Broot's associates," the lie poured out of Syndey's lips so easily that Parker had to turn to stare at the man in surprise.

"Very good, I'll send a couple of sweepers with you if you'd like, since I'm assuming you're going to be investigating it. You do tend to like to follow your own leads."Mr. Lyle smiledand nodded at Syndey. "I'm glad to see at least of one of you rememebers the chain of command in the Centre." With a flourish, he spun on his heel and walked out of the den.

As the door slammed shut, Parker tossed down the other folders onto the desk and whipped out her phone, "Parker speaking, I need a plane ready for the west coast in fifteen minutes." She snapped it shut and gave Syndey a look of surprise. "I never knew you had it in you doc. Come on, California is calling."
