"Another successful job." Sylvester said to himself.
The team had just finished a job in Poland and was on their way back.
"What happened?" Kate asked walking down the stairs.
"The team just finished the job, going to the airport as we speak." Sylvester answered.
"Jobs always this easy?" Kate asked with a joking tone.
"Almost never." He replied.
He then noticed that she was wearing a suit and holding a folder.
"What's with the suit, you going somewhere?" He asked.
"Got a job interview." She replied.
Kate and Abby had been staying with the team for nearly a month now, and it was still a rather awkward for everyone.
"Good for you." Sylvester said.
"Can you watch Abby while i'm gone?" Kate asked, picking up some more papers from a desk. "I won't be gone long."
"Yeah that would be fine." He said, though clearly sounding nervous about having to spend time with Abby.
"Thank you so much." Kate said, flashing him a smile before leaving.
Sylvester decided to try and get some work done before Abby came down stairs and he had to look after her.
He managed to get a little done before Abby came down the stairs.
"Hi Uncle Sylvester." Abby said.
"What?" Sylvester said, looking up confused.
"Why did you call me uncle?" He asked.
"Dad said you married his sister." Abby answered.
Sylvester suddenly felt very uncomfortable, he didn't like that Walter had told her he was her uncle, but he was to afraid to contradict her.
"I did." He finally decided to reply.
Abby then started looking around the garage.
"Where is everyone else?" She asked.
"They are in Poland, should be back by tomorrow." He said, suddenly aware of much time he would be left alone with her.
"Why didn't you go?" Abby asked.
"The job didn't require me, and they wanted me here in case they needed help." Sylvester replied.
"How did you meet my dad?" She asked
"I'd rather not talk about it." He replied.
"Oh." Abby said, clearly a little sad.
Sylvester felt guilty and finally said, "I had run away from home and was staying in this terrible hotel, I had nobody and he managed to track me down after I hacked a bank. Instead of having me arrested he decided to help me."
"I also met him like that, at a hotel I mean." Abby replied.
"How long had you and your mom been like that?" Sylvester asked.
"It had been a while, we hadn't eaten properly in weeks and we were out of money." She replied.
"I know that couldn't have been easy, and i'm speaking from personal experience here, but at least you had your mom and now have a dad who is trying."
Abby started to smile and said, "Yeah, I guess I do."
"That's the spirit." He said returning the smile.
"So you hacked a bank?" Abby asked with a gleam in her eye. "Have any other cool stories."
Sylvester smirked at that and said, "Yeah I have a few."
They spent the next two hours talking about things, jobs he had done, school and answering questions she asked.
Kate came through the door and saw them talking.
"What are you guys talking about?" Kate asked.
"Uncle Sylvester was just telling me about how he went to Chernobyl." Abby said.
"Really?" Kate asked surprised. "That must be quite a story."
"It is." Sylvester replied with a grin.
He then proceeded to tell them several stories about himself, Walter and the rest of the team, and for the first time since Kate and Abby had started living in the garage there was no awkwardness.
Hope you enjoyed. Please review.
