Jake came out into the living room with Frank and Elaina. "Where's Cody?"
"In the kitchen taking a break, there's food in there, if you're hungry."
"Nah. I'm not hungry yet," Jake said. "I wish my Mom was here, maybe she could've kept us together better."
"Sounds like you have or are about to break now," Elaina observed how Jake was acting.
"I had a small meltdown outside. I was telling Sonny how, Derek and I, went to church together during your surgery and after the plane crash."
"I never knew that," Elaina said.
"Yeah, we did that. We've played basketball with the kids there, too a few times."
"Seems Derek as made a friend in you," Frank said.
"He's a great kid. We haven't talked much since about a week after his birthday party. I don't know why," Jake said.
"Did you two get in a fight about something?" Frank asked.
"No, he just asked me about something. I told him he shouldn't be thinking about it at this time in his life."
"My son asked you about sex didn't he?" Elaina laughed, seeing Jake blush.
"How did you guess?" Jake wondered.
"Because a few weeks ago, Sab and Cody found him and Becky in a compromising position," Frank told him.
"How did you two find out?"
"Sab forced Derek into telling us," Elaina told him. "I'm going to see if Sonny is doing any good with that voice." Elaina went back and talked to Sonny. "Has a name come to you yet?"
"The voice is familiar. I keep getting the name Mac in my mind but I don't know if it was the person's nickname or what."
"Let me listen to it again." Elaina put the headphones on as Cody, Jake and Frank came back in.
"I see she has gone into Agent Blakely mode again," Andy said, smiling.
"Hope it last a while this time, she needs to stop worrying," Jake said.
"She'll stay like that for a while and then Mom will kick back in," Andy said.
"Do you all talk about the two of us like this all the time?" Frank asked.
"We're only making observations," Jake answered.
"I remember this guy now," Elaina said, suddenly. "He used to be an agent. He was one of Bloom's people that I fired. He was taking money and drugs during raids. His case was thrown out because of lack of evidence when they tried to prosecute him. His name is Darrel McMillan."
"How was it a lack of evidence?" Jake asked.
"The evidence was stolen," Elaina sighed, feeling very tired at the moment.
"She's right about the voice. I just couldn't think of the name," Sonny said.
"You were on the right track with the nickname," Elaina said to Sonny.
"Cody, Sab we need.." Frank started to say.
"Everything we can get on Darrel McMillan," Cody said. "I'm already on it."
"Elaina, can I ask you a question?" Andy asked.
"Sure what is it?"
"If I'm in charge, why do you and Frank keep coming in here and giving out orders? Don't you trust me?"
"Force of habit I guess. I do trust you. We'll get out and let you boss them around," Elaina said.
"I am not running you out, it's just that you wanted less stress and pressure for you and Frank. Yet you keep putting yourselves in that position."
"I know Andy. We just have to play Fed occasionally to keep from going insane," Elaina admitted.
"I won't stop you then. Just remember, when this all comes to the moment of the ransom drop, I'll be the only one giving orders." Andy was very serious.
"I understand but you may have some trouble with Frank on that one," Elaina whispered.
Cody and Sab found out that McMillan had a girlfriend and had been doing private investigator work since he was fired. They checked his known cover names and one matched to a van registration. The address for his girlfriend was also near the location they had narrowed down from the clues in the pictures.

"Andy, I think everyone could use a break including you," Elaina suggested.
"I guess we do have a while before they call again," Andy said, looking at his watch.
"I'm going out to feed the horses. Is that ok with you, Elaina?" Sab saw her shake her head yes, while she was still talking to Andy. "Cody, are you coming?"
"No, I have something I want to do here," Cody answered.
"Were supposed to be taking a break." Sab walked over to see what he was doing.
"It's nothing to do with work. I'm emailing Mom and Dad."
"This has you thinking about family too?" Sab gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah,, so go on out. I promise not to work." Cody returned her kiss.
"Okie dokie."
"Sonny, want to go out? I'd like to see my horse," Jake said.
"Your horse?" Sonny asked.
"Yeah, come on out," Jake told Sonny.
Sab headed for the haystack to feed the horses to keep her mind busy as Jake walked with Sonny out to the fence to show him the horses.
"Hey Sab! Have you seen Dante anywhere? I want Sonny to see him?" Jake asked.
Sab looked out into the field and pointed to the far west corner. "By the apple tree. He's likes to scratch on it."
"Thanks. Come on, Sonny, he should come when I whistle." Jake gave a loud whistle and his horse came running.
"Smart horse," Sonny said.
"Elaina and Derek taught them and then they taught us the different commands for them," Jake informed him.
"Federal agent and horse trainer. She's a very impressive lady," Sonny told Jake.
"Yeah she is," Jake said as he patted Dante. Sab walked over to the three with a square of hay. "You have to watch him this summer. He'll fill up on those apples," Sab said, feeding Dante a handful of hay.
"Hey Sab, I've been meaning to ask, when are you going to get married?" Jake asked.
"You and tech head are getting married? Sonny asked
"Don't call him tech head. And yes we're getting married," Sab replied.
"Sorry if I offended you. I just couldn't remember his name." Sonny apologized.
"It's ok." Sab replied. "We still haven't decided on a date yet. We've been to busy with everything. I think we're just waiting for things to settle down again. I mean Elaina and Frank just had theirs and their honeymoon. A few months ago."
"Frank and Elaina just got married and they have a son and daughter?" Sonny was surprised.
"Frank and Elaina got remarried. Derek isn't Frank's real son, but Sarah is his."
"I see, who was Derek's Father?" Sonny asked.
"Elaina was married to someone before Frank but he turned into a real jerk. He's in prison for bank robbery," Jake told him.
" Well I'm going to go feed Gambit," Sab said, walking back to the stables.
"I wish I could think of who she reminds me of," Sonny said, watching Sab with her horse.
"What about her, makes you think of someone else?" Jake asked, turning from his horse to see Sonny watching Sab.
"Just the way her eyes look and the way she smirks at times," Sonny replied
Jake looked at Sab. "She does have soft eyes. It's probably from all she's been through."
"What do you mean? She seems to be pretty normal to me," Sonny said, still staring at her.
"She's good at keeping it all in, but she has been through a lot. Abusive parents, well her father and stepmother. She ran away very young and joined a hacker group. Had an obsessive boyfriend who tried to kill her and Cody a few months back, not to mention what Cody's ex put her through." Jake explained. "And that's only the tip of the iceberg."
"I guess she has been through a lot. Didn't you tell me earlier, you were dating Cody's ex girlfriend? She's also a cousin to Elaina?" Sonny asked.
"I was. well. I still am sort of. We're working through some things," Jake said.
"Gambit!" Sab laughed out loud as he put his muzzle into her pocket looking for the hidden sugar cubes.
Jake and Sonny walked over to Sab, laughing at her. "Didn't Elaina warn you about doing that? Your lucky if you have a pocket left when he gets done," Jake said.
"Well, I like spoiling my horse," Sab replied, smiling as she pulled the sugar cube out of her pocket for Gambit. She held it out for him to take. "I'll bring you carrots, later."
"Why do all of you have horses here? Sonny questioned.
"They were gifts to us last summer," Jake answered him.
"Yep and we love them so much," Sab said giving Gambit a kiss on his head. She turned to look at Sonny. "You like horses?"
"I like them. I use to ride but I haven't in a while. Whose the Arabian belong too?" Sonny pointed in the direction of Zeus who was watching the house.
"That one's Derek's," Sab said, in a saddened voice as she turned to see the animal.
"The other Arabian is Frank's, no one rides her other than him," Jake said, pointing to the horse by the gate. "She's a one man horse. We can prove it but we'd get in trouble," Jake said. "Sab, think they'd see the joke if we turned Velvet loose to find Frank?" Jake laughed.
"I don't think this is a good time for that Jake." Sab gave him a disapproving look.
"You're no fun. I think they could use the laugh myself," Jake said.
"Better listen to her kid. They're on a fine line with their nerves," Sonny told him.
"Alright, alright. Well I'm going to head back into the house to warm up. You two coming?" Jake asked
"No, I'm going to stay out here longer," Sab replied.
"I think I'll stick around out here too, if that is ok with you Sab?" Sonny asked.
"It's fine," Sab replied as she climbed onto the fence to sit down.
"Alright, See you two later," Jake said as he walked back to the house.
"Do you mind if I call you, Sabrina? Sab just doesn't sound right for you," Sonny asked.
"Sabrina is my real name, everyone just calls me Sab for short."
"Well, I prefer to call you, Sabrina. Jake said you've led a rough life. I'm sorry to hear that about a pretty lady."
"Well, everyone's got to lead their own lives. Mine just had to be rough," Sab replied. "But it turned out ok."
"Glad to hear it. Jake said you had a stepmother. What happened to your real mother?"
"I'm not really sure. I was too young to remember her," Sab replied. "My father took me away from her and married someone else. Only thing I can remember is my father and stepmother not wanting me."
"You mean the bastard took you from a loving mother and then didn't want you? What's his name? I'll have a hit put out on him for you," Sonny said, only half joking.
"He's dead already," Sab replied.
"Too bad. I'm curious what was his name?"
"Logan Dalton," Sab answered, turning back to Gambit.
"You're joking right? I knew a Logan Dalton. I wonder if it's the same guy?"
"I'm not joking. How do you know him?" Sab asked, turning back to Sonny, surprised.
"He was a member of my crew, once then he married my sister. She and I never got along very well," Sonny said, leaning against the fence.
"What did this Logan look like?" Sab asked, wondering if it could be the same one.
"I guess he would've been in his forty's now. He had brown hair and eyes, my height, the last time I saw him he was about my weight."
"Oh my God," Sab replied as she almost fell off the fence.
"Are you ok Sabrina?" Sonny asked, catching her.
"You just described my father," Sab replied, in shock.
"You mean. my sister, is your mother?" Sonny was just as shocked.
"I guess it would be." Sab tried to believe what he said.
"Do you know if he was married more than twice? Maybe he married someone after my sister?"
"I'm not sure. I was born in 1980. When did she get married?"
"About that time," he said, trying to remember exactly.
"So, that would make you my..." Sab couldn't get the words out.
"Uncle. This is a little weird for me. Is it to you?" Sonny asked.
"Sabrina, there you are. Cody needs you right now," Elaina said, coming out to them.
"Little more then weird," Sab replied.
"What is weird?" Elaina asked walking up to them. She sees that Sonny's hands are still on Sab. "Why are you holding her?"
"She almost fell off the fence," Sonny answered, moving his hands.
"Why would you almost fall off the fence?" Elaina asked as Sonny stepped away from Sab.
"She was playing around with her horse and he nudged her too hard," Sonny said.
Elaina looked to Sab who was still pale in the face. "Yeah, I had sugar cubes in my pocket that Gambit wanted."
Elaina walked over to her. "What is really going on here, you look pale and upset," Elaina whispered.
Sab looked at Elaina then to Sonny. "He's my uncle," Sab replied, quietly.
"He's your what?" Elaina was confused as she looked from Sab to Sonny.
"We were talking and it turns out Sabrina's father married my sister. Then a few years after she was born, he took her away from my sister," Sonny explained as Sab was still in shock.
"Well, this is definitely a surprise. Listen, Cody really needs you inside. You two can talk about this later." Elaina urged her to leave. "I'd like to find out more too but my mind is on other things right now."
"Yeah...right. I'm on it." Sab replied as she snapped out of it to hop off the fence. She walked toward the house glancing back once still trying to believe what she had found out.
"Sonny, tell me about your sister," Elaina said, after Sab went into the house.
"Thought you didn't want to talk about it," Sonny said.
"I didn't want to talk about it with Sabrina," Elaina told him.
"I didn't get along with her. Even though she married a man from my crew, we still never talked much."
"When was the last time you talked to her?"
"She was still pregnant, so about twenty some years ago," Sonny guessed.
"That's a long time, not to talk to someone, especially family," Elaina said to him.
"That's the way we wanted it."
"You, Logan or your sister? Who really wanted the estrangement?" Elaina asked.
"I can't answer that," Sonny said.
"I think you can you just don't prefer to." Elaina turned to walk away.
"Agent Blakely," Sonny stopped her.
"What?" Elaina's tone was slightly angry.
"Why all the questions?"
"They're questions you'll have to answer for Sabrina. I don't want her going through a lot of agony because you refuse to answer her questions."
"You sound more like her mother than her friend or boss," Sonny commented.
"Sabrina and I have become close over the past few months," Elaina told him, walking back to him.
"Do you treat everyone here like that?"
"Like what?"
"A mother bear protecting her cubs," Sonny stated.
"Listen, I'll fight for any friend or family member. I fight to win. Remember that. Don't hurt Sabrina by dodging her questions be honest and upfront. You won't have to worry about me."
"I just saw the Agent Blakely I first met. I was wondering if she was still around," Sonny said, smiling.
"She's still here. If you want to see just how she protects family, stick around. If I have my way I'll get to those kidnappers one way or the other."
"I believe you."
"In the kitchen taking a break, there's food in there, if you're hungry."
"Nah. I'm not hungry yet," Jake said. "I wish my Mom was here, maybe she could've kept us together better."
