The Past Remembered

Miss. Parker paced around her office.

"Broots, you find Jarod or so help me you'll be eating out of a straw!" She said as she lit another cigarette. A lot of things had gone wrong this week and she didn't want another failure on her record. She was about to bite of Broots's head off again when Sidney walked in and said.

"We might be able to find Jarod if we find Bobby Drake."

"Who in the heck is Bobby Drake?" Snapped Miss. Parker.

Broots's head snapped up. "You don't mean the Iceman do you? "he said with absolute amazement. Sidney just nodded his head in reply. Broots turned to the computer and said

"I'd found some computer files that mention him, but nothing really solid. He's like Jarod no files on where he came from."

"Bobby is very much like Jarod. He's a pretender, a very good pretender" Sidney said. "He's the one that came up with the Internet."

"Oh, spare me. I really don't need this." Miss Parker said as she crushed out her cigarette and lit another one.

"He was one of the last children that your mother smuggled out of the Center" Sidney said handing her the file folder. Miss. Parker took the file folder and sat at her desk and opened it.

"He probably knows who killed my mother. So, where did she stash him?" Miss. Parker said with a hard tone as she slammed the folder on her desk.

"I suggest that you read the paper." Broots said not looking up from the computer screen. Miss Parker grabbed the paper. The picture on the front page showed four men, all fighting a really enormous robot. The caption read, X-men strike again.

"Sidney, is the one in white Bobby?"

"It impossible to tell, but it might be him."

"Well, what are you waiting for. Go check it out." She snapped.

Sidney quickly left the room and Miss Parker went back to pacing.

On the way to Winchester, Sidney thought about Bobby and how he came to be in the Center's care
