LJP- As much as I would love to have Morgan 'accidentally' kill Cody. I have other plans for the doctor. Plans that involve him sharing a cell with someone who isn't too pleased with Cody's involvement with the kidnaping of the boys.
Nans- See you in 20 chapters.
Erikstrulove- Sorry about the cliffhanger. But on the bright side you're back! You will find out about the fate of Markus in the next chapter. As for Pete things will slowly come to focus on what's going on with him. And yes Kaine is quite evil.
phi4858- I'm glad you liked Cody's part. We'll see him again but it's going to be a while. As for Erik he's from England, and he's kinda of a combination of Lyle, Raines, Cox and Roger Whydam-Pryce from Angel. And yes in this chapter the kids are free but there is still much more that will be discovered in the coming chapters.

"Sir we hear voices!" One of the men yelled. Morgan and Jarod took off at a run before Sam even had time to respond.
"Peter! Zane! Gabriel!" Morgan and Jaord yelled.
"Help, Somebody help us!" came muffled voices. Morgan and Jaord came to a stop when they saw two agents standing in front of a metal door.
"The voices are coming from this door," One of the agents said.
'No shit,' Morgan thought. "Peter, Zane, Gabriel, can you three hear me? It's Momma," Morgan asked.
"Momma?"
"That's right Zane, baby it's me," Morgan told her son and Sam was momentarily amazed that Morgan was able to distinguish Jason and Jack's voices. Sam still had a hard time telling Jeremiah a Greg apart if they were dressed to similar and they were his own sons.
"Daddy's here too and so is Uncle Sam," Morgan said as she continued to sooth her boy's nerves while Jarod inspected the lock on the door.
"Pete, Zane, Gabe, are you three okay?" Jarod asked his sons.
"Daddy get us out."
"Hold on a sec Gabe," Jarod said. "We have to get Will to turn on the power first. Do either of you know the code to the door?" Jarod asked as Sam told Will to turn on the power.
"I saw it when they brought me back!" Pete yelled though the door.
"What is it Tiger?" Sam asked Pete.
"1-9-6-4," Pete answered.
"Jarod that was the year they took you," Sam said softly.
"I know," Jarod replied as he typed in the numbers. Sam could see that the pretender's jaw was clenched and veins stood out on his neck. The lock released and Morgan quickly opened the door.
"Momma," Jason, and Jack whispered in awe upon sight of their mother. The six year old twins clad in center uniforms- shapeless grey pants and a tunic, and soft soled shoes- flung themselves into their mother's arms. Morgan held her baby boys tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face, as well as the twins'. Pete walked up to his father, and Jarod pulled Pete into his arms.
"I was so scared Dad," Pete whispered.
"It's over now Tiger. It's over now."

"Hello?" Adam said as he towel dried his hair. He had just gotten out of the shower, after returning from his nightly run.
"Ad guess what?" Will said excitement in his voice. Adam sat down hard in the chair next to him and sighed.
"You found them?"
"Yes. And they're safe. A bit worse for the wear from what Uncle Sam told me, some ass wipe roughed up the twins. Mom, and Dad are bring them to the summer house now. Turns out the boys were in Blue Cove. Old man Parker had then stashed away on Sl-27."
"Will that's fantastic," Adam said grinning.
"So can I expect you home soon?" Will asked the younger boy.
"Maybe I don't know. I think I've stumbled on to what I was searching for. I'm about to go and check it out now," Adam said stretching the truth a bit.
"Alright then little cousin. I'll see how long I can keep your Dad off of your back," Will said. "And Ad, hurry home, I know three people who would love to see you."
"I'll try my best. Tell everyone I send my love," Adam said and hung up. He would have talked longer but through his window, Adam had seen Steve heading into town.
Adam quickly dressed and then made his way to the inn where Steve was staying. Adam snuck by the man at the front desk, and made his way to Steve's room. It took him close totwo minutes, but Adam successfully managed to pick the lock on the door. Adam entered the room, and there the shock of his life greeted him.
"Pete?" Adam gasped when he saw the sleeping body of a boy on the bed next to the window.
"What are you doing here?" Steve growled from behind Adam

"Sam we found something. I-I think you should come and see," Said Abrahams a former Centre sweeper, and care taker of the Black Files. Knowing that Abrahams was a good man Sam got the former sweeper a job at the FBI.
"Mor, Jarod, I'll be right back," Sam told Jarod and Morgan. Sam then followed the agent down the corridor.
"The door was unlocked, so I went in," Abrahams explained as he opened the door. Light shined into the room, revealing a ragged boy some where between the age of six and eight. The tiny malnourished boy was cowering in the corner. And though Sam could tell that the young boy was obviously frightened the child wasn't crying.
"Do you have any idea who he may be?" Abrahams asked. He had known that Sam's nephews had been taken but had heard nothing of another child. Knowing what the Centre was capable of Abrahams was to afraid to truly know the truth behind the little boy.
"Abrahams, leave," Sam said softly as to not startle the boy any further. The agent did as Sam bayed.
"Hi, my name's Sam. Can you tell me yours?" Sam asked as he stepped closer to the boy. The boy pressed himself closer to the wall. "Hey it's okay I won't hurt you," Sam whispered taking a step back. "I was you once. They hurt me like they hurt you. They hurt a lot of people in my family as well..." Sam trailed off not knowing what else to say, so the former Centre sweeper sat on the floor crossed legged, and began to talk about his family
"I have four kids. My oldest is Greg, he loves to play jokes and argue with his sister Lissa. Greg, Lissa, and their brother Jeremiah are triplets. I have another little girl Amy, she's a telekinetic, and the world's biggest tom boy after her cousin, her brother's spoiler something horrible."
"Let's see my sister Morgan and her husband Jarod, have eight kids if you can believe it. Will, and Alley are twins, then there's Aaron-Daniel, Andros, and Alex -they're triplets- after them is Pete followed by Zane and Gabe -or Jason and Jack as all the kids call them-, they're twins too, surprise, surprise."
"Oh let's not forgot Mike and Maddie, they aren't twins they're triplets. Their brother Markus... died," Sam whispered.
His voice had cracked when he said Markus's name. Though the boy had lived for only a few moments, and though there was nothing Sam could have done to prevent Markus's death, Sam still blamed himself.
"Keegan," The boy in the corner whispered softly.
"Is that your name?" Sam asked the boy "Keegan?'
"My name's Keegan," The boy confirmed softly, in a British accent.
"Keegan I'm going to come closer, okay? I'm not going to hurt you Keegan okay?" Sam said. Keegan nodded his head.
"Do you know what your name means?" Sam asked Keegan. "It means little fiery one in Gaelic. You know I know a couple of kids who fit that name. So Keegan can I get a look at you?" Keegan slowly crept closer to Sam. As the light touched the boy's face Sam gasped.

"Who the hell are you? Did the Centre send you?" Steve asked shoving Adam against the wall.
"The Centre. I'd die before I ever allied myself with them," Adam spat. "They killed my father, my uncle. They inflicted pain upon my family for decades."
Steve let go of Adam, but placed himself between Adam and the sleeping boy.
"How do you know about the Centre?" Adam asked.
"I could ask the same of you," Steve replied.
"I asked first," Adam retorted.
"What are you kid, eight?" Steve asked
"Twelve actually," Adam replied with a grin. Steve shook his head "So your relation to the Centre," Adam prompted.
"Fine. I guess you could say I was a sweeper for the Centre. I had just passed training when I turned eighteen. I was then placed in charge of Project Lienage. Basically I became a glorified babysitter. The chairman, or former chairman of the Centre sent me to Carthis where I oversaw the care of three boys. Cain, Abel, and Seth. Seth died when he was four, due to the flu. Twenty-one days ago Cain attempted to kill Benny, over there. Luckily I got Benny to a doctor before he died. Soon as he's well enough for travel I'm taking him to the States. He say's he has family the will take him in."
"This family what's their name?" Adam asked glancing at Benny's pale form, dreading the answer.
"Russell. Rumor has it they brought down the Centre."
"Look no further you've found us. Or one of us anyway. Name's Adam, Adam Russell.
"You said your name was Connor Reilly," Steve stated.
"Dude I lied it was my alias. A crappy one at that. Connor Reilly is a character from a old t.v. show, my cousin Will is addicted too. Well actually his name was Connor Angel but after the whole mind wipe thing, and memory spell. Boy did that screw with Wes's head, and I always wondered why Cordelia remembered Conner. Must have been because she was a higher power, or was it becasue she was in a coma..." Adam trailed of when he saw the look Steve was giving him.
"Anyway like I said may name's Adam Russell. My dad is the half brother of a rather famous pretender known as Jarod. My dad is also the half brother to the former Parker twins, you may know them better as Miss Parker, and Mr. Lyle. Here's the funny thing though. My dad has yet another half-brother, Peter and I've got to tell ya, your boy Benny, looks one hell of a lot like Pete," Adam said.
"Well if the Peter you're referring to is Peter Parker, Mr. Parker's legitimate heir, then there's a good reason, Benny looks a lot like him," Steve said
"Pete isn't a Parker anymore. He's a Russell, My uncle Jarod, and aunt Morgan adopted Pete when he was three." Adam said. Adam knew how defensive Pete was about his name, and Adam felt the need to inform Steve that Adam was not a Parker. "Is-is Benny...Pete's twin?"
"Yes...and no. Peter, Cain, Abel, and Seth are all genetically identical. But they are not quadruplets," Steve said.
"They're all clones of Benny?" Adam said, his brow furrowed.
"What? No. I'm sorry I've gone and confused you. Benny and Abel are the same person. Benny, Kaine, and Seth are all clones of your Pete. I just call Abel, Benny because..."
"Ben Riley a.k.a. the Scarlet Spider was Peter Parker's clone," Adam finished. "I really like reading Spider-Man." Adam stated off of Steve's look. "Is Kaine with a K by the way. Or is like the bible Cain?"
"Both," Steve replied.
"Clever," Adam said. "Biblical Cain killed his brother, and Spidey Kaine kept trying to kill Peter Parker and Ben Riley. By the way is that the nameyou're going with, Ben Riley?" Adam questioned Benny. Out of the cornner of his Adam had notice Beeny awake and sit up in his bed.
"Benjamin Riley Merrick Kirby," Benny answered in a soft sleep filled voiceand a small smile touched his face. Since Benny and Steve had been in Ireland, Steve had gotten papers drawn up declaring that Benny was his son. "The room you share with my predecessor Peter has a Spider-Man mural, does it not?" Beeny asked. Adam found the boy's accent to be odd it wasn't a true Scottish accent, there were faint traces of an Irish accent in Beeny's speach as well as an American accent.
"Yeah it has a Spider-man mural. Will, Chris, Air, Andy, and Alex painted it for Pete when he moved in. They painted it 'cause his old name use to be Peter Parker. H-how did you know that?" Adam asked Benny.
"She told me," Benny replied.
"You hear your mother's voice too," Adam stated as he walked over to Benny's bed. The boy was pale, and their were dark circles under his eyes.
"My mother's voice was the first voice I ever heard. She tells me that you were sent here for me," Benny said.
"I guess. My baby brother and sister, Kale and Kay sent me," Adam admitted. "They're just over a year old."
"They must be very special," Benny said.
"Yeah they are," Adam smiled. "Benny why..."
"Was I created?" Benny finished for Adam. Adam nodded his head. "Father -Mr. Parker- was afraid that Peter may fail as the perfect son. So when Peter's surrogate mother was three months pregnant with him. Father had one of his doctors perform a miracle. Somehow this doctor got some of Pete's DNA. From that my brothers -Kaine, and Seth- and I were born. The three of us only spent five months in the womb. Erik found a way to manipulate embryotic growth. We were born a month after Peter and then swept off to Carthis, and kept secret."
"Wow," Adam said at a loss for words.
"How come...How come you don't seemed shock that I'm a... that I'm not..."
"My uncle Chris is a clone of my uncle Jarod. The two fo you have another common bond besides the fact you're -you know-. You two have the same name kinda. He's Benjamin Christopher Russell, we just call him Chris 'cause my grampa didn't like the fact that Chris named himself after a clone," Adam explained.
"Adam when I get better, do you think I could meet Peter and the others?" Benny yawned.
"Of course. They'll be psyched to meet you. You wouldn't need a set of parents by chance? I think my parents are looking for a new kid to collect. Aunt Emily swears that Mom, and Dad are trying to keep up with Uncle Jarod, and Aunt Morgan."
Benny and Steve stared open mouthed at Adam. "Maybe I should start at the beginning. Tell you what pack your bags and come with me to the inn where I'm staying. I've got plenty of room. In fact I told the woman at the inn that I was waiting on my Dad and brother to join me. You are well enough to move right?" Adam asked Benny.
"Kinda," Benny shrugged. "Steve got me a wheelchair so..."
"Cool. The let's get you two packed. As we pack I can tell you two all about the family. By the way I'm your nephew. My Dad's your half brother."
"Wait I thought you said the Centre killed you Dad," Steve stated.
"They killed my biological Dad when I was little. I'm adopted," Adam explained softly as he helped Steve pack.
Benny laid back on his bed and smiled. He was tired, but happier than he had been in his whole life. The voices were right he was going to be part of a real family.
Up Next: As you learned Jason Jack and Pete aren't the only three boy's that are being kept on Sl-27. Say Hello to a new character by the name of Keegan. Erikstrulove this is your chapter.
