Parker flinches back into the door for a second, goes red, then her face darkens.

"We didn't force *jack*. SIR. Nor would we. We came to the other person who's been obviously pissed off and knows her well, and we nicely asked him if he knew anything! And if he hadn't answered, that would've been another goddamn story! SIR. Forgive us for giving a damn about your traumatized bruised girlfriend who happens to be our friend too. We'll just be going now, since no one thinks the *police* should be called. Unless you want to tell us it's being handled by the authorities?"

Parker is not near tears. Or if they are, they're tears of rage.

Methos sits back down. And takes a deep breath. "All right. All right. I'm sorry, Parker."

Parker's still shaking, but she nods stiffly. She swallows hard. "Do you know... who? I just-- I don't want to look at every guy she knows, and wonder."

Methos struggles with the face that this is CJ's private business. Then he looks up into Parker's eyes. He's used to seeing old eyes in a young face -- but damn, Parker really is just sixteen. "Ten and I have a fair idea who it is. Until CJ chooses to do something about it... we'll abide by her decision. Because anything that I do without her knowing about it or agreeing to it... just takes more control out of her hands, and I won't do that to her."

Professor, she's...well, she's behavin' like a classic victim. By lettin' her decide t'keep this bottled up, it'll only hurt her more in the long run.

I'm sorry we jumped on you like this. *Zero opens the office door.*

"Zero's right. We just-- she said something, and we wanted to be sure. Sorry," Parker mutters, following Zero out.
