"Jarod. Will you please make a candy run for us?"
Jarod looked at the two women before him. He knew better than to say no, he had learned early on not to cross them, especially Grace. "Alright you two." He said holding his hands up between them and him. "I'll go."
"Thank you." Rachel said happily.
Jarod shook his head as he turned and walked from the room. Behind him they were calling what kinds they wanted. He closed the door and walked around the corner.
~*~*~*~*~*
"So, do you still think he's hiding something. That's related to the case that is?"
"I don't know why I do Grace, but I do."
"It's not just you honey, I get the feeling too. I don't know why either. Maybe you're wearing off on me." She said with a smile.
"If only."
"Hey girls." John said walking into the room. "Bailey's calling a meeting now. Have you seen Jarod?"
"He made a run for us." Rachel replied.
"Poor fool." John muttered under his breath.
"What was that?" Grace asked as she stood up.
"Nothing." He replied quickly.
Both women looked at him knowingly. He took a deep breath and rushed out of the room.
"We'll get you John."
"I wouldn't sleep tonight if I were you."
"Lord help me I'm a dead man." He thought to himself.

"John, you look like you've seen a ghost." George said as John walked in.
"Worse, I've been threatened by his wife and our dear Rach." He said pointing at Marcus.
Marcus and George both started to snicker and Bailey shook his head. "What'd you do now?" he asked while the other two tried to control their laughter.
"We sent Jarod on a candy run, and John here made a comment."
"About Jarod being a poor fool." Grace continued glaring at him.
"You asked for that one John." George said with one final laugh.
"Anyway, we'll fill Jarod in later." Bailey said as everyone sat down.
"So what's up Bail?" Grace asked as she sat next to Marcus.
"I know we told Jarod we would trust him, but do any of you.."
"Get the feeling he knows more about the case than he's letting on." Rachel finished.
"You too?"
"And me Bail."
"Ummm Bailey, what would you have done if Jarod had been here?" George asked softly, glancing at Rachel and Grace warily.
"I don't know." He replied softly.
Outside the door, Jarod stood patiently. So they were beginning to wonder, not that he could blame them. Sighing he turned around to go to his room. Writing a quick note saying he was out, he left it with the candy on the table in the main sitting room. Then he grabbed his jacket and left.

Bailey sat with the others the next morning in the café down the street from their hotel. Jarod was rather silent, making Bailey wonder if something was wrong.
"Jarod, are you alright?" he asked slowly.
"What?" he asked looking up at Bailey, catching everyone's attention. "Oh, I'm fine."
"Jarod, don't take this wrong, but I don't exactly believe you." Bailey replied.
"Of course you wouldn't, you never did." A voice said from behind Bailey.
They all looked up to the women standing behind him, except for Bailey.
"May I introduce Mrs. Sandra Dee Montgomery."
Bailey turned around finally, wondering why they all looked so shocked. He stopped as he looked up at the dark-haired women with violet eyes. She looked like...
"Hi Bail." She said softly. "Jarod," she continued nodding towards him, "You look well."
"I always look well Sam. You've said that for the past five years." He said with a smile. Everyone on the team looked at him in shock.
