4:15pm

Sydney checks the time again and decides that it is time to call dinner. Before he can even say a word to Sam; Parker, Lyle, enter. The Parker children are carrying trays with food on them. The sound of the two of them coming into the lab cause the teens to look up. Cat (Syd learned that she preferred to be called this) just stairs open mouth that them. With out a thought she blurts out, "Why are there sprits following the two of you? You both share one and then have one of your own. Your mother, then you miss have a nice man named Tommy. He says 'it is not your fault for his death all involved are now dead or have made up for their crimes.' And a man named Kyle is following you; he is the last of your ghosts. Even you Mr. Sydney have a ghost following you. Other than their mother, who is with you always, a very nice man who looks a lot like you named Jacob is also there. Speaking of which they both say to 'tell them already'. Goodie dinner." With that said she walks over and grabs two plates, while David give them a sorry smile and them grabs two bottles of water.

The entire group is floored. Parker is the first to recover. " And how do you know that sweetie?" she asks gently while giving the girl a real smile. She likes this little girl. Some how she is drawn to her, like she has known her all of the girls life. In her presence all is quite in Parkers soul. Something that rarely happens anymore.

" It is a gift that I have. It is from my mother, I think. All that I know is that I have had this gift all of my life. It is usually more of a burden than anything else. I am sorry if I offended or scared you, usually I am not that blunt. I tend to keep that information to myself; it is refreshing to meet people who have a calming presence following them." All of a sudden a rattling can be heard. The grate on one of the air vents is pushed off and Angelo pops out.

As he comes closer Parker smiles, a real smile, at him. He holds out his hand, palm up. In it is a small disk, a DSA. "Daughter must find child. Get child out and then the two of them must go to Jared. Jared protect daughter and child." With that he smiles and a quick as a flash is gone. Leaving a stunned group behind.

With a look Parker asks Sydney if his office is clear. " Sam will you stay here with these two please?" Syd answers as her escorts the two Parker children into his office. Once there he grabs a DSA player and places it on the desk. Miss Parker then inserts the disk and it starts to play.

September 10, 1988

The scene is all in black and white. It is in a window less room. The picture keeps cutting in and out for the first few seconds till a scene is clear.

Standing in front of the camera is a younger looking Raines; he is holding a bundle to his chest and is arguing with a young doctor. It looks like the camera cuts in mid-sentence.

"…I didn't agree to this. This baby is a human being not some machine. If you are not going to take care of her like she should be then I will take her form you. Now hand her over." In stead of doing like the doctor asks Raines takes a gun and shoots the man between the eyes, then turns towards the camera.

"As I was saying. The child has survived this far. But it is yet unknown if the child has both of the gifts. If the project was a failure then it may be tried again in a few years; if not well then we will have a perfect pretender. Either way the host and the doctor have been taken care of. If anyone else on the staff gets nosy well then they can always find out what happens to those who oppose The Center." As he says this, a soft thwack can be heard in the background. And the quite crying that was heard suddenly cut off. "The carrier has been taken care of."

With that the video ends.

After watching the video there is utter silence in the room. "What" is what Parker whispers. All that she gets time to whisper, for a second latter Mr. Raines walks in. Seeing him the three of them compose them selves and walk out to meet with him. The only one that he has any time for is Catherine. Walking over to her he asks, "Have you located Jared yet?"

"Yes Mr. Raines." Was her reply.

"Tell me where to find him then." Came the command.

"No." That one word stuns everyone in the room.

"What did you say to me, child?"

"I said no. I won't tell you where to find him he is a good man."

For what she just said the girl receives a smack from Willy. She sways in her spot from the force of the blow but manages to stay standing. David has to be restrained by two sweepers as he tries to go after Willy for hitting her. Raines notices this and tries to use it to his advantage. "If you don't tell me where to find Jared I will shoot him. Do you want that?"

"I won't tell you where to find Jared. And you won't shoot David. You can't the board of directors did not give you permission to hurt any of us in any drastic way. So you are in a catch twenty-two. I'm calling you bluff you want to shoot him go ahead. I still won't tell you. And don't try to trade my life for the info, David does not know it and I won't tell you." With a Parker like smile on her face she stares at Raines, while Willy is holding a gun to David and Raines is fuming. Just when it look like that Raines is going to give the order to shoot, and to hell with what it would cost him, Broots rushes in with a manila envelope in his hands. Seeing the tension in the room, he stops before he can even say a word.

Knowing that he has been out maneuvered and that he can't go through with his bluff, he shoots her a glare and says to the rest of the sweepers. "Take her to the cooler boys. Any means necessary." All of the men get a smile at that one.

One of them pipes up and asks, "What do we do with him?" He was one of the ones holding David.

"Let the love birds nest together." He says with a sneer. With that the two of them are dragged out of the room two different ways. Both of them resisting with everything that they have.

Once they are gone Parker looks at Broots. At the question she see in his eyes she says, "The results, Broots. Hand them here." As if wakening up, he shakes his head and walks over to the threesome. With out a word he hands over the envelope. As Parker opens it and pulls out the results he throws Sydney a look. He had already seen what they said; he was just worried how she would take it. Parker's eyes go wide as she looks up at him, at his nod confirming that the results are right, she promptly passes out.

"Well she took that well." Was all that Broots says.
