"Sidney, why don't you come and sit by the fire? You aren't going to do any good standing by the window freezing." Josiah said from his place on the couch. He was fiddling with his cell phone.. Chris said he would keep in contact with Josiah and Sidney. Sidney turned and obediently sat down on the couch without a word. She stared into the fire, completely absorbed in the dancing flames.

Josiah put down the radio and watched her for a few moments. The deviant cold eyes that had glared at him only a few days ago had been replaced by tired, glazed look full of fear. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder. She jumped, turning her attention to him.

"Sorry," Josiah answered with an apologetic smile. "Penny for your thoughts?"

"Quite the contrary, I believe there are lots of interesting things in that criminal mind of yours."

"You still think that JD and I are trouble?"

"Yeah," Josiah answered with a smile. "But not the kind of trouble I was thinking of. After meeting you and JD, I have to admit I'm a bit intrigued."

"A criminologist is never wrong," Sidney answered. "Only idiots take his assumptions for fact. His testimony should be used as a basis for future investigation."

"Psychology major with an emphasis on deviant behavior and criminal justice." She answered. "I am in my first year of grad school." Josiah looked at the girl in a whole new light. Sorkin was the head of the psychology department and he only allowed the best students into the Master's degree program.

"Any idea what you're going to write your thesis on?" He asked. Sidney lowered her head to hide the embarrassed look on her face.

"I'm not sure yet," She answered, lying between her teeth.

"It's nothing to be ashamed about," Josiah answered. "Most kids don't pick a topic right away." Both of them jumped when the cellphone started to ring.

"Yeah. I'm here," Josiah answered, when he saw that it was Vin,

"Just thought I'd tell you that we're about five miles outside of the Standish mansion right now. We're going to pick up some equipment and figure out what we're going to do about Senator Royal."

"Keep us posted," Josiah answered.
