Back Again

Reeducation

By; 24

Jarod paced his cell that he was in still trying to remember what had happened. He remembered going to his latest lair, being on the Internet, watching a video and then watching T.V., but that was all.

A beep could be heard outside his cell and stood away from the door. In walked two sweepers and one of them was Gavin. They took him to the sim lab and closed the door.

Mr. Raines walked in the door and looked at the pretender.

"Are you ready to do some Sims for us Jarod?"

"You know that answer Mr. Raines. Why ask it?"

"Answer the question Jarod."

"No, I won't have anymore innocent blood on my hands. I won't do another simulation."

"Too bad because now we will make you do Sims."

"You can't make me do them. I won't allow my work to be used to hurt and kill people anymore."

Mr. Raines nodded to the two sweepers and they took each arm and dragged the pretender to another room. They forced him into a chair and bound his wrists and ankles to the chair.

Gavin stood there looking at the bound pretender and decided that he would let him in, in who had captured him.

"I bet you've been wondering who had captured you." When there was no response he went on. "The Centre sent sweepers to almost every State and town in America. I was the lucky one that found and tailed you."

An Hour Later.

Jarod was unstrapped and carried back to his cell. He would wake up soon and when he did he would have no idea that he had escaped. Not only that he would have any idea the true nature of what his Sims was used for.

Sydney's Office.

Willie came into Sydney's office as he was putting his things away. After he was done he would then go to the computer lab and see if they had any leads on Jarod, but that would have to wait until later. Willie had told him that he was summoned to Mr. Raines office. He wondered why he was sent by Raines and would have to find out when he was there.

Sitting down he waited until Raines started to talk.

"When my brother died and took over the position of chairman of the Centre. I not only sent you looking for Jarod, but also some sweepers. A sweeper did what my two children could never do and what you could never do. He brought our possession back and he's now reeducated. You can now be his mentor again. We have a bunch of simulations already lined up for him to do. The Centre is back in business. You may go Sydney and collect your charge. Just remember don't tell him that he escaped, or what his Sims are being used for. You may tell Miss Parker that the pretender is back and reeducated."

Sydney got up and walked out the door in a daze. He didn't hear Miss Parker calling out to him until she tapped him and said his name again.

"Sydney, What's wrong?"

"Mr. Raines just informed me that a sweeper brought Jarod back and he's been reeducated. I am going to be his mentor again."

"What?"

"I am in charge of Jarod's Sims again. I can't tell him what they are used for, or that he's escaped."

"Who was the sweeper Sydney?"

"That would be me." Gavin heard the conversation and joined in. "I am also his guard while he's at the Centre."

"Who are you?"

"I am Gavin the sweeper who brought the pretender back. Shall we go and collect him and take him to the sim lab?"

Sydney stared at the tall well-built sweeper and followed him to the elevators. Miss Parker followed also to see if this was indeed true. She couldn't believe it. A sweeper brought Jarod back? How did he do that?

"How did you capture him?"

"Mr. Raines sent sweepers to every State and town in America in hopes that one of us would run into Jarod. I was the lucky one that found him. I watched what he did, set up cameras in his lair and then drugged him. After that I sent for the jet and brought him home where he belongs."

The exited the elevator and made their way towards Jarod's room. The door opened and Jarod was standing as he was supposed to stand. He had heard the lock click when it was opened and stood near the back wall.

"Sydney."

"Hello Jarod. It's time to go to the sim lab."

Jarod walked forward and then halted when he saw Miss Parker. He gazed at her remembering her mother. "Miss Parker?" He hadn't seen Miss Parker for a long time, not since they were children and she was sent away to Boarding School.

"What?"

"You look just like your Mom."

"That's what I hear all the time."

They followed Gavin to the sim lab and Jarod sat in the chair and watched as Sydney grab the folder on the desk. After he was done he handed it to Jarod. Just then Mr. Lyle walked in and saw with his own eyes that Jarod was indeed back. Mr. Raines had told him when he got in that they had captured the pretender and had been reeducated.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see Jarod work. That was all."

"Well, Brother Dearest you can't watch."

"He's your brother? I didn't know that you had a brother Miss Parker."

"Yes, he's my brother. I found out a couple of years ago." She didn't tell him that the reason she found out was because of him.

"Oh."

Jarod then turned back to his work and Miss Parker and Mr. Lyle left leaving only Sydney and Jarod in the sim lab. Sydney had read what was in the folder. It was an I.Q. test to find out if Jarod was still as smart as he was before he escaped.

When Jarod was done Sydney grabbed it and checked it out. He didn't lose his genius I.Q. with the reeducation. Sydney gave him a break, so that he can go over a simulation before giving it to Jarod.

When Jarod was done with the simulation he was escorted to the weight room where he was sometimes allowed to go to. Sydney gathered the folders and went up to Mr. Raines to give him a report on his progress.
