"Sarah, the bib stays on you. Not the floor," Sab said as Derek walked into
the kitchen. "Glad you came down. Made eggs and toast, if you want."
"Thanks. Need some help?" Derek asked, picking Sarah's bib off the floor.
"Yes, please. She doesn't like keeping it on," Sab replied as Derek put it back on her.
"Keep it on, Sarah," Derek said as he sat down at the table. Sab handed him a plate of food and gave Sarah a bowl of scrambled eggs.
"So, I figured once you're done at school today, you come over to my place and help me move some stuff," Sab suggested as she took a bite of her toast.
"Ok. Can Becky come over?" Derek asked.
"Yeah, you two can do homework together if you want. Pizza, good for dinner tonight?"
"Great. Mind if I ask you something?" Derek asked.
"Shoot," Sab replied.
"What's the deal with you and Cody?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, are you two broken up or what?" Derek asked.
"We're taking things slow again because of what happened," Sab replied. "I just need to work some things out right now."
"I see. I hope it works out for you."
"Thanks." Sab turned to the clock. "I think you ought to be heading to school."
" I think you're right." Derek got out of his chair. "Bye Sarah." He kissed his sister on the head then headed out the door.
Sab turned to look at the mess Sarah had made. "Boy, you can be so messy," Sab said to her. "Let's clean you up, then we can go look at my new place."
**** Frank grabbed Elaina around the waist and kissed her deeply. "Umm.... you are eager, but we have all the time in the world," Elaina told him.
"I don't want to slow down. I want to get you in that bed and start warming you up, don't want you to catch cold," Frank told her.
"Ok you strip and so will I, the last one in bed has to give the other a full massage."
"A honest contest, you won't try to cheat?"
"Honest. We start at the same time, besides I have more clothes on than you do. So you should win." They quickly undressed and Frank did win. "See I told you so." Elaina said, getting in beside him.
"You took your dear sweet time. I think you wanted to lose."
"Wait until this summer. I'll give you a rematch."
"I'll keep you to that." Frank said. "I'm ready for my massage, Lady."
"I bet you are." Elaina gave him soft tender kisses on his lips, then his face and then his neck. She looked into his eyes and saw he was enjoying her actions. She continued her kisses and massaged his neck, shoulders, and chest.
He started groaning softly enjoying her touches and kisses she gave him. She moved her hands down to his stomach and he took hold of her hands. "No tickling," he warned.
"I won't I promise." Elaina kissed his hands. He released her hands and she massaged his stomach making sure she didn't tickle him. She moved to the side of him so she could kiss is stomach. She started using her tongue with her kisses. This caused him to tremble with every kiss as she moved up from his stomach to his lips.
"You're driving me crazy, Lady." His was breathing heavily. She knew she was getting to him as he got to her many times in the past. His hands started searching her body caressing her back and hips as she moved over him. He moved inside her and she kissed him hard on the lips, their tongues searching the others. They moved together as their passion for each other built to the breaking point. They both vocalized the ecstasy they felt at their climax.
They lay in each other's arms and drifted off to sleep. The phone rang waking them. Elaina answered it but there was no answer on the other end. She hung the phone up.
"Who was that?" Frank asked.
"No one answered, same as before," Elaina said wondering to herself if it was Maria.

Andy had arrived for the morning briefing. He was waiting at the table for every one to gather around. "I can only be here a few hours at a time seeing how I'm doing double duty. When you get any news on Maria you're to call me immediately. So tell me, what do we have so far?" Andy asked.
"Absolutely nothing, I have faxed her picture to every bus station, train station, airport, car rental and hospital, though I doubt she'll go near one," Cody replied.
"I have gone to every place Frank and I could think of and no one has seen her," Jake added.
"I'm going back to the psych ward to talk to the orderly again. See if he remembers her telling him about her plans," Alex replied as she took a drink of her coffee.
"She has to be somewhere, she couldn't have dropped of the face of the earth," Andy said, somewhat frustrated.
"She could've hitched a ride with just about anyone," Cody said. "She told me that she use to do it when she was a teenager."
"Maybe we should put her face in the media as a missing person, but not tell anyone where she escaped from," Monica suggested.
"She's a dangerous person to herself and others," Andy replied. "If she hurts someone and we didn't tell the public we could be unemployed or in jail."
"I don't think she's a danger to the public in general. I think there are only a certain few that she harbors resentment toward enough to hurt them," Monica stated.
"We all know who they are, so I agree with Monica, we should get the help from the public in finding her," Alex approved.
"Ok. Cody and Monica, work something out for a press release and I'll check it over before we send it out. Alex, go on over to the hospital and see what you find out. Jake, go by the Songbird and see if anyone there may know where she could be. Elaina said that she was a friend with the bandleader, Steve. See if she told him anything," Andy ordered.
"Got it," Cody said as his cell phone rang. The rest of the team departed to do their jobs. "Hello?"
"Hey Cody, its Derek."
"Hey, why you calling? Did something happen to Sab or Sarah?" Cody asked, a bit worried.
"No, she and Sarah are fine. I was calling to see if you can help us tonight move things into Sab's new loft," Derek replied.
"Sab's new loft?" Cody asked in confusion.
"Yeah, she's moving into the loft on the upper floor. And I thought you'd like to come and help her," Derek suggested.
"Yeah, I guess I could." Cody replied.
"Good. I'll see you tonight," Derek said as he hung up.
"Who was that?" Monica asked as she came back into the room.
"Derek, he wants me to go over and help Sab move in," Cody replied. "Did she ever tell you that she was moving?"
"Yeah I think everybody knew. Why?" Monica asked as she looked over a file.
"No reason," Cody replied as he walked over to the Operations Board. "Just that she didn't tell me."
"Thanks. Need some help?" Derek asked, picking Sarah's bib off the floor.
"Yes, please. She doesn't like keeping it on," Sab replied as Derek put it back on her.
"Keep it on, Sarah," Derek said as he sat down at the table. Sab handed him a plate of food and gave Sarah a bowl of scrambled eggs.
