If you call I will answer

and if you fall I will pick you up

and if you court this disaster I'll point you home

I'll point you home

Emily:

As soon as I could walk, I was out of there. I felt a bit bad, knowing
both Jarod and Dad would worry about me. Jarod was helping Ethan. Dad was
taking care of the boy. We would find Mom together. That only left one
order of unfinished business, as far as I was concerned. Lyle. That son
of a bitch had killed Kyle, pushed me out a window, and I was sure as hell
not going to just let it go. Jarod may not have killed him, because it
was "wrong", but I'm past the point of caring about right and wrong anymore.
That bastard is gonna pay. I am going to cause him pain, in more ways then
he has ever imagined.

Two Months Later:

Blonde hair dye, contacts, and skin toner can change someone remarkably.
I changed the outward appearance and got a job at the Centre as a…well,
they gave it some long fancy name, but basically, I was to help Lyle and
the other three on the hunt for Jarod.

As the elevator came to a stop, the doors opened and I got off. Quickly
I made my way to my new office, which was about half way between Lyle and
Miss Parker's. I was about twenty minutes early so I got aquatinted to
my new surroundings. By the time I had arranged everything to my liking
and had gone to the bathroom, it was time to meet the boss. This unnerved
me, I was terrified Lyle would recognize me. Deciding to face the music,
I made my way down the hall, took a deep breath, and knocked on Lyle's
office door.

"Come in," Lyle's voice, even muffled by the door, sent shivers through
me. I entered and he looked to see who it was. "Ah, you must be Faith Turner,
our newest addition on the hunt for Jarod. I assume you have been briefed
on what you will be doing?"

"Yes sir," I had to work to keep the hate out of my tone.

"Okay, why don't you go down and meet the others," he said, sitting
back down behind his desk. As I was about to leave, he spoke up again,
"Hey, you look kind of familiar. Have we met?"

 I paused, panicking, "No, we've never met."

He gave me a strange look, but left it at that and nodded. As I left,
I could still feel his eyes on me and once in the hall and out of his sight
I shivered. He had been staring at me in a, I don't know, leering way the
whole time I was in there. Good, the first part of my plan was working.
He found me attractive, and that would be somewhat crucial to what I had
planned.

Lyle:

As soon as she came in I gasped internally. She was beautiful. Not the
type I usually went for, but I can't deny my immediate attraction to her.
Even more than that, as much as I hate to admit it, she intimidated me.
She seemed so cool and calm. Most people are almost quivering in fear when
the meet me, but not her. I usually enjoy the looks of fear, but I was
surprised to find myself smiling at the small smirk she had on her face,
as if we shared some private joke.

But still, I couldn't help but feel as if we had met before. In fact,
she reminded me a bit of… nah. Couldn't be. Emily is somewhere with Jarod,
probably gloating over their victory over me.

Emily:

It's been a few weeks that I've been here, helping them search for my
brother. I've seen Lyle several times since that first day, and every day
I find him more attractive. 'No,' I tell myself, 'you are not falling for
him.' But that's the problem. I am falling for him. When I look at him,
I don't see my brother's killer. I see a man, a beautiful man, who was
thrown into this whole shitty way of life, just like the rest of us.

Then there's the whole part where he thinks I'm a psyche major. Which,
by the way, I'm not. Yeah, I took a few psychology classes in college,
but nothing extensive. I just put that in my resume because it made me
look good. But, he doesn't know that. A few days after I started, he approached
me about the idea of me counseling him. Deep down, he doesn't like the
life he's living and he wants to change. That's what we established in
the first session. Since then we've been slowly working the way through
his life, facing the demons, finding the specific events that have made
him the monster he is now. And as eager as he seems to change, there is
still a part of me that is terrified it's an act.
