“Oh, you mean the escaped convict? You know, if it weren’t for Jarod, I wouldn’t have known that I let that man into the house!” Nia said beaming

“Where is he?”

“Oh, Jarod had him tied up on a chair in the living room, they’re in there right now. Come in, I’ll show you the way.” Turning on her heels, she gestured them to follow as they walked into the living room.

Raines was impressed, he had finally created the perfect pretender he thought victoriously. Ms. Parker stood in her normal stance, and followed after Jarod, with Sydney and Broots trailing closely after her.

Mr. Raines nodded to Nia who smiled at him brightly and closed the door behind them as they leave. She rest her back against the door for a minute, it’s all up to you Jarod, she thought, please keep Jason save…she caught herself, Jason?

“Welcome back Jas—“ Raines stopped mid-sentence when a blow to the back of his head knocked him unconscious. Willie quickly drew out his gun but Jarod aimed his gun at him.

“Hands behind your head,” Ms. Parker snapped, Willie simply looked at her, hatred burning in his eyes, “NOW!” she took out a pair of handcuffs. “Ok Jarod, I’ve done what you told me. Now what?”

“We’re going to rescue my father.” Jarod answered.
