"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain."

Emily Dickinson

Sara suddenly became aware that she was being watched. Before she opened her eyes, she tried to remember where she was. The familiar cramp in her neck made her realized she had passed out on the couch, again. Not fully aware of what was going on Sara slowly opened her eyes. All Sara saw was two big brown eyes inches from her face before she let out a scream and came to full consciousness. The brown eyes, and body attached to them ran off in a flurry. Sara sat up and tried to comprehend what had just happened.

Is someone in my apartment? Was Sara's first thought. She became worried when she realized her gun was in her locker back at the lab. Looking around her living room for a suitable weapon, she noticed something on the coffee table. Coloring books and crayons. Just some of the many items she had purchased for Sadie when they had gone shopping with Catherine and Lindsey.

Sadie! Sara quickly realized just who those brown eyes that had been watching her were. She had screamed and Sadie had run. Looking over at the door she was happy to see it still closed and locked.

"Hey Sadie, come out, come out where ever you are." Sara heard nothing in return. She figured there couldn't be a whole lot of places in the apartment that Sadie could be hiding so Sara began to look around. A half an hour later, a very frustrated Sara found Sadie hiding under the bed.

"Come on Sadie, let's get out of there." Sara said trying to reason with the little girl. Sadie looked at Sara fearfully. "I'm sorry I screamed, I'm not use to getting woken up." Sara tried again to reason with the little girl, but Sadie wasn't going anywhere.

Sara wondered if it was ok to just leave the little girl under the bed. Is she ok? What happens if she forgets the little girls under there and she climbs into bed? She had forgotten about the little girl when Sara had first woken up from her nap, who's to say it wouldn't happen again? As that thought raced through Sara's mind, she began to feel guilty. How many other people had forgotten this little girl before. Sara didn't know what to do.

"Willows" Catherine answered the phone after a few rings. She had become obsessing with searching the internet.

"Hey Cath, I've got another question."

"Really Sara? Because I thought you might be calling to check on me." Catherine replied sarcastically. Even though no one was in the office, just talking to Sara on the phone when Catherine was trying to search the internet and newspaper articles for crimes that occurred in the Tamales Bay area in the time frame of when Sara would have been a child, some how felt wrong. She closed out the website and turned her full attention to the phone.

"I've got a bit of a problem." Sara tentatively stated into the phone.

"What happened." Catherine knew something must have happened with or to Sadie for Sara to be calling her.

"Well, after you left, Sadie was still asleep so I went out to the living room and started reading some journals. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew, I opened my eyes and there were two brown ones inches from my face. I screamed. Sadie ran and hid. It took me a half an hour to find her. She's under my bed right now and she won't get out." Sara mulled.

"It took you that long to find her? Your apartment's not all that big!" Catherine choked out over laughter. "Why don't you climb in under the bed with her. Try talking to her there. If not, she'll come out eventually." Catherine was trying to squash the image of seeing Sara climb under a bed, but she just couldn't stop laughing.

"Catherine, I don't make it a habit of climbing under my bed. I don't even know if I'll fit!" Sara argued into the phone. As agitated as she was, she knew if she saw Catherine trying to climb under a bed, she'd be laughing just as much.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll try to behave." Catherine Mumbled. "Just try, cause even if you only get half way under there she'll be more responsive to you."

"Ok" Sara timidly replied.

"Oh, and Sara, one more thing. You might want to bring your phone with you, incase you get stuck and have to call for help. You know the firemen carry cameras too." With that, Catherine dissolved in to fits of hysterical laughter. Sara just hung up.

Sara went back to the bedroom and lay down on her belly.

"Hey kiddo, I'm going to come join you." Sara moved some boxes and she proceeded to shimmy her way under the bed. Making her way to Sadie, she noticed the fear in the little girl's eyes. "It's ok, I'm not mad, you scared me, and I got worried." Sara tried to calm the little girl.

"Are you going to punish me?" Sadie quietly replied. Sara's heart sank. Just what had this little girl endured?

"NO, no, I promise I'm not going to punish you. I just want to get out from under here so I don't get stuck and have to call 911." Sara tried to smile.

"But when I called 911 you came to help me." Sadie simply stated. Sara was shocked at the simplicity and complexity of the statement. How could someone make such an impact on another so quickly? Sara didn't know if she was talking about herself or Sadie.

"Well, here I am now, so why don't we get out from under here and think about making some dinner."

"Ok!" Sadie said excitedly.

Sara shimmied out from under the bed with more difficulty than it had taken to get under there. She sat with her back against the nightstand, as Sadie climbed out like there was nothing to it. Sadie looked at Sara and climbed into her lap and gave her a hug with all of her might. Sara took the little girl in her arms and hugged her back with just as much zeal. Sara and Sadie sat like that for a while till they both hear Sara's stomach growl. They both laughed as Sara said.

"I don't know about you kiddo, but I'm hungry, let's go find some food." Sadie giggled as they made their way out to the kitchen.
