INSTINCT - Season 1, Episode 6

Prologue

"Oscar, you have got to be kidding me!" Jaime fumed. "It's not like you to pull a really bad joke but....you are kidding....right?"

"This is a very important conference, Jaime," Oscar told her. He wasn't laughing.

"You're really serious...? You want me to be....a bionic baby-sitter?" Jaime waved her arms in the air as she tried to argue what she knew was a moot point. "I can be a bodyguard, work security detail – anything! - but....baby-sitting? Really?"

"The Ambassadors need to be able to spend two days giving this matter their full attention, which means not having to worry about the safety and well-being of their children."

"But -"

"And with your background in education, I can't think of anyone more suited for the job."

"Oscar!" Jaime protested – to deaf ears.

"There will be eleven children, ages two to ten, and an infant. Callahan will be in charge of the baby – under your guidance, of course."

"Do they at least speak English?" Jaime asked, pouting.

"Most of them do."

"Terrific."

Oscar patted Jaime's shoulder as he walked her to the office door. "You start tomorrow at 7am."
