The family was getting restless with the fridge getting low on supplies, so Sarah volunteered with 20 different grocery lists that would keep mostly everyone in the house happy.

She was stuck behind an SUV that was going the speed limit, but Sarah was a bit impatient trying to get home since there were 3 cartons of milk and 2 gallons of ice cream in the trunk of her car.

Sarah silently cursed as the SUV as she drove behind it, knowing that the turn to the mansion was close but her impatience was getting the best of her until she watched the SUV turn into the entrance of the mansion.

"Who is that?" Sarah asked as she followed the SUV to the mansion.

The SUV stopped on the edge of the driveway while Sarah went around him and parked right next to the door, the less travel to and from her car would make it easier for her, especially since it was a frigid day.

Sarah got out of her car and watched as the familiar face of Agent Mike Weston exited his vehicle and slowly approached her, she ignored him as she opened the trunk of her car and began grabbing the paper grocery bags once by one.

"Here, let me help." Mike said, grabbing four bags and walking with Sarah into the kitchen where the places them on any available surface she could find.

Sarah was still silent as she walked back to her car to grab the rest of the bags while Mike assisted shutting her trunk then followed her back into the kitchen.

There wasn't much talking going on as the two put everything away; Sarah, who was once again star struck by the agent, didn't know what to say to him as she organized everything in the fridge as he just stood there next to her.

"Do you need any help?" Mike asked quietly.

Sarah shook her head "No, I've got it. If you need to be somewhere, go right ahead—don't let me stop you." She said, not bothering with looking at him.

Mike nodded slowly "Okay then. I'll see you around." He muttered before leaving the kitchen.

Sarah sighed with relief, her body relaxing from the close proximity he had with her; she didn't know why she was so awkward around him, but she knew that she couldn't let him debilitate her.


The girls weren't much into T.V. but Emma and Sarah had both found themselves watching some made-for-TV horror movie on the Syfy channel which kept them entertained for the moment.

Sarah heard her stomach gurgle as she pressed her hands against it, trying to silence the noises that were distracting Emma as she turned to her friend "…have you eaten today?" she asked.

"No." Sarah muttered.

Emma crossed her arms "Well, maybe you should get something to eat since I can hear your stomach over the movie." She gently hissed.

Sarah rolled her eyes at Emma as she got up from the couch when Roderick walked in and stopped in front of Sarah "There you are!" he said, grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the living room.

The girls shared one last confused glance at each other before Sarah shrugged and followed Roderick into Joes' office where a group of 6 was waiting for her.

"Sarah, there you are!" Joe said with a smile as he sat at his desk.

Sarah smiled awkwardly "Here I am." She said, still confused as to what was going on.

Roderick guided her to a chair and let her sit down before taking his place across the room sitting at another chair, the group staring at her intensely.

"Did I do something wrong?" Sarah asked after the silence became too much for her.

Joe shook his head "Of course not, darling! We're just having a meeting and we decided that you need to be in it." He explained.

Sarah raised an eye brow "So what are we talking about?" she asked cautiously.

"As you know, we're in pursuit of finding Claire who's in protective custody right now, and Mikey boy over there," he pointed to Mike who was two seats over from Sarah "…knows exactly where she is. BUT we can't blow his cover, so we're going to make it look like we ambushed and tortured him for the information." Roderick explained.

Sarah nodded slowly at the second in command "O-kay…so where do I come in?" she asked.

"Well, we're going to have to do some serious damage to Mike, and who would be better at nursing him back to health than you?" Roderick said.

Sarah was taken aback, she was never involved in the big jobs before and it made her internally scream before she let a smile out.

"Oh." was all that she could muster out before looking around the room of followers.

Roderick leaned forward "Are you up for the task, Sarah?" he asked.

Sarah nodded "Yes. I am."

"Good!" Roderick said before standing up "I'm setting everything up, so don't fret—but you will be infiltrating the hospital while Mike recoups. You'll get some scrubs and an I.D badge for the hospital." He went on.

Sarah nodded as she looked around the room at Louise, Charlie, Mike, Joe, and two other follows whom she'd never acquainted herself with. "Sounds like fun." She remarked.

Roderick smiled at her before clearing his throat "So, now that that's cleared up, meeting adjourned?" he asked around the room.

Everyone muffled an agreement as everyone stood up to leave while Sarah remained seated, waiting for the crowd to leave so she could leave as well before Roderick placed a hand on her shoulder "Stay. I still need to work some details out with you." He said

"Oh. Okay." Sarah muttered as she stayed in her seat, looking over at Joes' desk which was now vacant.

Roderick moved his seat closer to Sarah "Don't be scared, Sarah…I have everything under control, alright?" he comforted her with a smile and his infamous cocky tone.

"I'm not scared." Sarah remarked, giving Roderick a smile to match his.

"Good!" he said, patting her knee "Listen, the team and I have gotten a plan in order and you don't have to worry about that-you just need to worry about getting into the hospital and getting to Mike. Like I said, I have prepared a pair of scrubs for you as well as an I.D badge that will get you access to any part of the hospital." He remarked.

Sarah nodded slowly "…what hospital are we hoping he goes to?"

"We're setting this up at a Warehouse off Newport Harbor, we know that he'll probably be sent to the closest hospital since we're going to border the line of killing him." Roderick explained.

Sarah glared at Roderick before nodding "Okay." She muttered.

Roderick smiled "Don't worry, I'll give you directions. But still…you're on your own to gain access to the hospital, to wiggle your way into being his nurse until he is cleared for check out."

"And then what?" Sarah asked.

"And then we bring him here just to rest a little longer. You'll be his nurse until the FBI clears him for work again." Roderick said "Sound like a plan?" he asked Sarah.

Sarah nodded slowly "Yeah." She whispered, smiling at Roderick.

"Excellent." He said, patting her thigh once again before getting up to leave the office.

Sarah remained seated once again, knowing she was on her own for this mission was a bit daunting, but she knew she could handle it.
