First, for the whiners, this is clearly the "Parker as hero" path. Most of you have probably not been around long enough to remember (or didn't bother to read) a lot of the early posts where people were baying at the moon for the cops to "get what they deserved." Clearly,
Rich decided to go ahead and tell that tale. In addition,
Rich made it clear WAY back in the beginning of things, that the "Melissa arc" was JohnCBB's, while the "Parker and Becky arc" was hers. Thus, I don't think it's terribly surprising that, at least in this path, he didn't give Becky to the cops. I'd bet long green that Parker and Becky end up together before it's over. Boy got girl, boy lost girl, what is it that comes next?
In the "a" path, however, we're seeing Parker himself get corrupted. No telling what he's going to do there - wrt Becky or anybody else. If she continues to hold out on him, he might, indeed, throw her to the wolves.
