Unexpected Surprises

Sydney and Gage had just gotten back to the station after arresting a man of attempted murder on a district attorney.

" You know Syd I don't mind helping you baby-sit Angela tonight if you need an extra hand."

"Gage I am not incapable of taking care of a one year old by myself. It's not like I have never babysat her before," replied Syd

"I didn't say you weren't" Gage replied "but..."

"But nothing Gage, that's what the way it sounded" snapped Sydney

"Fine I just thought we could watch a movie together or something, but if you can handle it"

"I can" she replied quickly

"Syd can I ask you a question" Gage asked as nicely as he could, trying not to upset her anymore than she already appeared to be.

"Depends on what the question is" replied Syd with a sly smile at Gage.

"I just want to know if there is something going on with you that I should know about," he asked

Sydney's smile faded and she replied, "No, does it seem like there should be"

"Well you seemed kind of tense these past few days and"

Just then a little boy came running through the door with a little girl not far behind. They boy went straight to Sydney "Mommy they are going to kill us!"
