"Please
God Let it be This"

I can't believe this is happening. This whole damn thing is just one huge mess, and all thanks to the Centre, not that that's a surprise or anything. I mean no one else could be this sick and sadistic and all around fucked up. In one week, if that, I have discovered that Miss Parker and I share a brother, that they both have this psychic thing going on, and that Ethan, our brother, is supposed to be this 'super Pretender' who not only has two parents who carry the Pretender gene, but he also has Catherine Parker's 'inner sense', whatever the hell that is. But oh no, it couldn't stop there. God forbid something should go right for me when it comes to that rat hole. No, Miss Parker, Ethan, and me almost get blown to bits because Raines managed to control Ethan. We all manage to survive, but that isn't enough, no God isn't done messing with us yet.
So after nearly being blown up Ethan and I manage to make it out safely, and as I'm recuperating, praying that Miss Parker is all right, I happen to have the news on and see the person that I escaped from the Centre with nearly five years ago. Now ain't that something? And oh guess what, he's in critical condition after getting shot by some terrorist. Right then and there I should have known that it was a trap, but the goddamn hero in me insisted that I go help the guy, so I did. Only to find out that he was chasing a guy that I thought was dead…. Alex. I thought he died during our escape – that's right there were three of us, but Alex fell, and we assumed he was dead – you know I think Parker was right when she said that no one at the Centre ever really dies.
Which brings us to the here and now. I was driving along with Broots after finding him in a murdered man's house and he tells me what else Alex has been up to, other than trying to mess with me. That he has kidnapped Mr. Parker and that Miss Parker has gone to retrieve him. It takes me a minute, but what Alex had been saying all along finally sunk in. I pull over suddenly and demand that Broots get out of the car. I feel bad about it, and suddenly I can sympathize with his fears of having a nervous breakdown. With the way my heart is beating erratically I think I'm on the verge too. After Broots reluctantly climbs out of the car, I peel away with Alex's words floating through my head. "I want to see what happens when I kill someone important to your world". I know now what this has been about. He set me up, set up a pretend I couldn't resist in order to draw me out, and now he's going to hang Miss Parker's life over my head. I grit my teeth and press my foot harder on the gas pedal. I throw a little prayer up to God, and hope that I get there in time. If there is only one thing you ever help me with, please God let it be this.
