Plot summary
Jarod discovers that one of his last simulations has been exploited by Mr. Lyle to be used as the blueprint in the kidnapping of a witness against a Yakuza boss who killed her son. Posing as someone from the Department of Justice, Jarod sees her kidnapped by Centre sweepers, and contacts Sydney. Mr. Parker mysteriously returns, and Miss Parker is furious to discover Mr. Lyle is associating with organized crime. She teams with an equally furious Raines — already conspiring with her father behind her back — to try and pocket the payment, and pin the stolen funds on Mr. Lyle. This, plus Jarod's rescue of the witness, turns Mr. Lyle into a Yakuza target, forcing him to disappear from The Centre and go on the run.
