Jarod waited for Miss Parker to come into her house. He had deactivated the alarm and made sure that no sweepers were present when he broke inside. He saw the headlights slice through the darkness as he slipped deeper into the darkness. He heard her get out of the car, walk towards the door and unlock it. He waited for her to turn on the lights, put away her gun and come into the living room before he showed himself.

"Hello, Miss Parker."

"Jarod, what are you doing here? Why are you here? And what about the sweepers?" She asked as she crept towards where she stored her gun, but Jarod blocked her path.

"I'm here because I need your help. I know that we can takedown the Centre and I need your help to do so. Don't worry about the sweepers. I made sure that there were nowhere around."

"What do you mean we can takedown the Centre down? Why would I want to do that?"

"Because it's the right thing to do. Because we can put those people that turned out lives upside down in prison. We can be free and live our lives how we want to."

"If I do this what happens to me?"

"I already have someone inside the Centre that gathered information and he will bring it all to you. All you need to do is take it to the authorities."

"What about you?"

"You get to take me in and leave the Centre."

"You would turn yourself in?"

"Yes."

She crept into the house that Jarod was living in for the time being. She had gotten word from Jarod this is where he would be. She saw the car drive up and made sure that she didn't let herself be seen. She knew that he knew that she was there, but the sweepers didn't know about the deal that she made with Jarod.

He drove up to his house that he had rented knowing that this was the day that he was going back. He didn't want to do this, but he knew that he had to do this. She watched Jarod as they drove up torwards the Centre and could feel that he was nervous about going back to the Centre. She wanted to comfort him, but she knew that she couldn't, so the only thing that she did was look away once again. When he stepped out of the car and they were going up the stairs to go inside, Miss Parker turned to him and said. "I know this is not the different ending you were talking about."

They all went to Mr. Raines's office and she was finally sent free. She left the Centre and while she drove off she hoped that Jarod would be okay inside the Centre and wouldn't be damaged to bad.
