Summary: Miss Parker’s thoughts
Would she never be happy again?
Was this her fate? To be lonely and bitter the rest of her life?
She had already lost everything else to this damn job, was she going to lose herself as well? She gave a sigh, slapping yet another folder from another failed lead on her desk.
She resented Jarod for not coming back to the Centre. She didn’t blame him, as these people had destroyed his life. But it almost felt as if he were bent on taking her down with him in his self-righteous, if demented, quest against the Centre. ‘Almost like a rebellious teenager.’
She resented her father for consenting to her being put into this life in the first place.
She resented the Centre too, for putting her in the position she was in. She, a geek, and a doctor sympathetic to Jarod’s situation were to bring in dear Boy Genius, when all three of them were not anywhere close to his intellectual equal. They weren’t equipped or even on his level. The only way to succeed at this job was if Jarod gave himself up. Fat chance of that happening.
And in some ways she resented Tommy for showing her what life was like outside her dark little world. Because now all she wanted was to fly free.
