Chapter Ten

A/N: Props to Steph (bobbyssheila) for hounding me to finish this. Love you babe. Hehe.

Kaylee and Sue both smiled and blinked back tears at the scene in front of them.

Kaylee listened intently to the conversation between the two before realizing that it all was lost to the deaf woman beside her. She translated as much of the Greek as she could to Sue, who nodded in understanding.

After a while the interaction slowed. "Kelita," Sue asked the little girl, "Would you like something to eat?"

Kelita nodded. "Yes please." She brushed some hair out of her face. "Where am I going to stay?" she queried politely. "I told Mr. Gans that my cousins are all in Europe."

D chuckled at her use of 'Mr. Gans'. "Kelita, you can call me D, if you'd like. This is Sue, and the lady that brought you is Kaylee."

"Hello." Kelita looked at the floor, suddenly shy. Suddenly, she turned to D again and asked him something hurried in Greek and bit her lip.

D's eyes widened; and he glanced at Kay for help. She shrugged helplessly. "I don't know," she signed behind Kelita's back.

Sue suppressed a slightly irritated sigh.

Kaylee motioned Sue out of the interrogation room before explaining. "She wanted to know if she could stay with D."

"I'll do it," Demetrius decided.

"Are you sure?" Kaylee asked quietly. "It's a big risk."

"I know." D rubbed his temples. "But I want to."

"Alright."

D took a deep breath and made his way to the dark-haired, dark eyed little girl. Kelita gazed up at him hopefully.

He nodded, and tears flowed freely down her cheeks as he held out his arms and pulled her up into a hug, holding her close. Kelita clung tightly to him as if she would never let go, and Kaylee felt a rush of emotion watching them.

D murmured something Greek to the ten year old girl, and she hugged him fiercely.

"You're welcome."

"Alright, Tara, what can you find that will help us find the bloke that killed Kelita's parents?"

Tara sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Well... I can tell you that Miguel worked at a pretty large company and was up for an equally large promotion," she informed cheerfully. "He and..." She stopped.

"And...?" Bobby's expression was curious.

"-someoneIdon'tknowI'mverysorry," Tara finished in a rush, glancing down at the floor.

"Come again?" Bobby joked. "Someone what?"

"Some one I don't know," Tara repeated sorrowfully. "I'm sorry, Bobby."

Bobby threw her a charming grin. "It's okay, sheila. Not your fault. Would you like to come with me and find out?"

She hesitated. "Wouldn't you go with Myles?"

Bobby made a face and snuck a look over his shoulder. "Not this time." He wiggled his eyebrows at her playfully, emitting a laugh.

"Alright," Tara conceded reluctantly. "But I don't know if I'll be any help…"

"You'll do fine," Bobby reassured her, stretching out his arm to squeeze her shoulder. "Come on, let's go."

A/N: I'm thinking five more chapters-ish... review please.
