Babysitting 101
Sab walked out of her apartment early in the morning to find cardboard boxes scattered everywhere on the floor. She looks at them confused then sees Mrs. Montclair, the superintendent of the building, walk out of her apartment.

"Mrs. Montclair, good morning," Sab said walking over to her smiling.

"A good morning it is, Sabrina. Off to work?" She asked, returning the smile.

"Yeah, but I came out and found all these boxes out here," Sab replied looking at them all.

"Oh, Mr. Denger is moving out of the loft upstairs and is bringing his things down here for his son to come get." Mrs. Montclair replied. "He finally gave in to the Mrs. and bought a condo down in Florida."

"Can't argue with Mrs. Denger," Sab said, looking back at her. "Who's taking the loft now?"

"Well that's my problem, now. I wanted my daughter and my grandchildren to move in here. She just got out of that nasty divorce," Mrs. Montclair explained. "But she doesn't want the kids to be out on the balcony. So I'm going to have to rent it out, which I don't want to cause its so hard to find decent people to move in."

Sab thought for a moment. "Well you want her to move in, so you can be closer to your grandkids," Sab started to say. "How about I take the loft upstairs and they move into my place. I mean you will be on the same floor and I won't bother you when I come home late at night."

"Oh Sabrina, I couldn't trouble you with that," Mrs. Montclair replied.

"Its actually no trouble at all. I need the extra space and I've always wanted a balcony," Sab insisted.

"Well, if you really do want to do that, I'll get the papers ready for you tonight," Mrs. Montclair said with a smile.

"Great, I'll see you tonight then," Sab said, waving good-bye. As she caught the elevator, Mr. Denger walked out carrying a box.

"Oh Mr. Denger, let me help you with that," Sab said, taking the box from him.

"Thank you, Sabrina. My back ain't what it used to be." Mr. Denger smiled as she placed the box with the others. "I'm guessing, Mrs. Montclair has told you we're moving."

"Yes she has, to a condo in nice sunny Florida," Sab answered.

"Yes, yes," Mr. Denger said, in a bit of a sad tone.

"What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's just that moving out of one place and moving away from friends is a bit hard," he said.

"Well I'll tell you what, when if I'm ever down in Florida, I'll come visit you," Sab suggested.

"I would like that. Mrs. Denger would too. But you don't have to come all the way down there just to see us."

"Well, I'll be taking a few trips down there sometime in the future. My boyfriend's parents are down there," Sab informed.

"Oh yes, uh...Cody is his name, right?" Mr. Denger asked.

"Yes that's him."

"Such a nice boy. Always stops and chats when he comes in every morning," he explained. "The Mrs. and I'd always go for our walk and we'd always catch him down in the lobby."

"Oh, he never told me that."

"Well now you know. And where is the lad, lately? We haven't seen him," he asked.

"We are taking things slow again. We kinda got into a big argument," Sab explained.

"Ah, I see. Well you'll be back together in no time. I see how he looks at you." Mr. Denger winked.

"Thanks, Mr. Denger. Well, I gotta be going," Sab said as the elevator opened.

"I'll see you later. Bye now." Mr. Denger waved goodbye.

Frank walked into the bedroom, as Elaina was getting ready for work. He kissed her good morning. "Good morning, Mrs. Donovan."

"Good morning, Mr. Donovan. Where have you been, so early?"

"I went riding with Derek, he's still trying to get me to leave him in charge while we're gone," Frank answered as he picked out a suit to wear.

"You did tell him, there was no way in hell, that was happening?" Elaina asked.

"Yes. Then I got his sermon on how we don't trust him enough to let him take care of Sarah."

"Why would he think we don't trust him? I think his past history speaks for its self. Breaking curfew, computer hacking, sending threats to his mother, " Elaina explained.

"Just who do you want watching them?" Frank asked. "Megan can't, her schedule is full. Monica likes taking care of them."

"I had a volunteer who said she'd like to do it," Elaina replied.

"Let me guess. Sab?" Frank said with a chuckle.

"Hey first try, you're good." Elaina smiled and kissed him.

"Is she sure she can handle Derek and Sarah?"

"I get the feeling, if she's here, Cody will be too," Elaina replied.

"That's another thing I'm worried about," Frank added. "What about work? Where will Sarah be then?"

"I assume she'll take a few days off or take Sarah with her. She has been staying away from flying bullets lately, by staying at HQ."

"Ok. We can talk to her and then I'll decide if she can do it," Frank said, getting ready to take a shower.

"You'll decide, excuse me? But I'll be making that decision too." Elaina looked cross at him.

"I stand corrected, we'll decide." Frank smiled.

************

"Morning all," Sab said as she entered HQ. Dee, Heather, Jake and Alex were sitting together with coffees in hand.

"Someone's in a cheerful mood today," Dee said, noticing the smile on Sab's face.

"Well, why wouldn't I be in a good mood? Some people, in the loft upstairs in my apartment building, are moving out, and I get the loft," Sab said, sitting down beside them.

"No way!" Heather shouted. "The one with balcony and access to the backyard roof upstairs?"

"The one and only," Sab replied.

"That's so cool. When are you moving?" Heather asked.

"Sometime in the next few days," Sab answered as Donovan stuck his head out of his office.

"Sab, my office, please," he called down to her.

"What did I do now?" Sab asked them.

"Nothing we know about," Jake replied.

Sab got off her chair and headed for Donovan's office. She sheepishly walked into Donovan's office not knowing what she had done wrong. When she arrived, she was really worried, because Elaina was there too.

"Ok...whatever I've done, no one saw me do it. You can't prove anything," Sab said, quickly.

"I'll figure out what you're hiding later. Right now, we just need to talk about something you volunteered for," Elaina said, gesturing her to sit down.

"I volunteered for?" Sab asked as she sat down in the chair across from Frank's desk.

"Unless she volunteered you, she said, you wanted to baby-sit the rug rats while we were gone," Frank replied.

"Baby-sit Sarah and Derek? Oh yeah! I'd love too!" Sab said, excitedly.

"But can you handle a teenager and a 20 month old?" Elaina asked, looking at her.

"I've handle gun wounds, obsessed boyfriends and Maria," Sab replied. "I think I can handle them."

"That was a piece of cake compared to Sarah and Derek," Frank said, looking at her.

"Frank, are you trying to scare her off?"

"Don't worry, Elaina. I'm sure I can. Plus if I need help, I got the whole UC team here," Sab said with a giggle.

"No, Cody, at the house. He can help, but not stay over," Frank ordered.

"They're adults. They wouldn't do anything, we wouldn't do." Elaina winked at Sab.

"Well, actually the way things are going between Cody and I, I really don't think we'll be doing much of that for a while," Sab said, looking at them. "We decided to take things slow again."

"Hey once in a while, never hurt anyone," Elaina teased.

"Elaina, not everyone is shall we say, needy, as you," Frank said, turning to Elaina.

"I'm not needy, I just love you way too much," Elaina said as she kissed Frank on the cheek.

"I think this is my cue to leave," Sab said, getting off her chair.

"Wait a minute, the interview isn't over," Frank said, turning his attention back to Sab.

"Ok." Sab sat right back down as quickly as she got up.

"I don't leave my kids, with just anyone," Frank said.

"Our children, Dear," Elaina corrected him. "I think she can handle it, but if you want to grill her more go ahead."

"I will, thank you," Frank said, turning to Elaina then back to Sab. "What if Sarah gets sick? What do you do?"

"Depending on what she's sick with, I can call a doctor, call Megan, stay up with her...um..." Sab answered.

"Your answer, should've been, call the doctor and then call us," Frank said.

"Sorry," Sab apologized.

"Don't be sorry, when she's sick, he yells for me first," Elaina said, so that she wouldn't feel so down.

"True. But I think it was a valid question. My next question, are you going to work or take time off?" Frank asked.

"Well, I'm probably gonna take time off, cause I wouldn't want to bring Sarah around here and interrupt work and Derek will be at school," Sab replied.

"Good answer," Frank said. "Now will your boss give you time off? You've been off more than most agents are in a life time."

"Frank, shut up. Yes, she can have the time off, but if she's needed, she has permission to bring her here,' Elaina stepped in. "This place is safe enough, security wise, I'm sure they'll keep a close eye on her."

"Two eyes, I promise," Sab added.

"I'm satisfied with her," Elaina said, turning to Frank.

"Ok, you got the job. We'll give you the temporary guardian papers, so if something does happen the doctors have permission to treat them on your say so," Frank told her.

"Good luck your gonna need it." Elaina giggled

"Ok, now you're scaring me," Sab said, getting out of her chair again.

"I try my best to scare everyone, once in a while," Elaina joked.

"So, I'll come over around 8 tonight, I guess?" Sab said as she reached the door.

"That's fine with me. See you then," Elaina agreed.

"Ok, see ya then," Sab left the office, leaving the two alone.

*****

"Ok, as you all know I'll be away for a week, starting tomorrow," Frank explained to his team. "But that doesn't mean you all get a break as well. I've called in Andy, to take over and you'll report to him."

"Andy must really like you two. He's working for you and he has the whole show while Elaina is gone," Jake said.

"He's done it before, besides I hear he's keeping track of favors, so he can use them against Elaina when he wants something." Frank laughed.

"Where are you going on your honeymoon?" Monica asked, keeping her head down to avoid eye contact.

"None of your business. We're discussing work, not our private life," Elaina told them, coming from upstairs. "I'm leaving now. Bye, ya all."

The phone rang as Frank walked Elaina out. Cody answered it. "Hello...Yeah, hang on a sec.... Jake, its Allison."

As Jake talked to Allison, the other team members saw that what he was being told was not good news. After Allison hung up he was very frustrated and slammed his phone down.

"What's wrong?" Frank asked, coming back in.

"Nothing, we can handle it," Jake replied. "You don't need to get involved."

"I'm still your boss until Andy gets here, so what's going on?" Frank demanded.

"Maria escaped this morning, from the psych ward," Jake told him.

"How did she manage that?" Alex asked.

"She charmed an orderly and stole his keys," Jake replied. "Mom told Chicago PD, they're looking for her, too."

"All of you, are going to be looking, too," Frank told them.

"Do you think she'll come after Sab or Elaina?" Cody asked, looking at Sab who was still a little shocked at the news.

"Mom thinks she'll go after Elaina, for having her committed," Jake said to them.

"Good thing you're taking her out of town," Monica said.

"What if Maria has made it to her office, isn't that where she was going?" Alex asked.

"Cody, call Andy. Tell him to get security to watch Elaina until I get there," Frank said as he started to leave.

"Wait, do you want to tell her? She won't leave town until Maria is back in the hospital. If I were you, I'd just get her out of town as quick as you could," Sab told him.

"Why don't I go over to her office? I wanted to talk to her about something privately anyway," Alex suggested. "Then maybe she won't suspect anything."

"Are you sure you can keep it from her?" Frank asked.

"I've a better shot at doing it than you. She reads you like a book," Alex replied, holding back a giggle.

"She has a point," Sab agreed.

"Go give it your best shot. In the mean time, we'll look for Maria and if we don't find her, I hope I can keep it from her until we get on the plane tonight," Frank said wondering how he could do it.
