9:15 A. M., at the university hospital, Beth had stepped into Tim's room. Tiffany was sitting in the chair and holding Tim. When Tiffany looked at Beth, Beth said, "I heard Tim is being release soon and I wanted to say goodbye before you leave."
"I was actually hoping to see you before we leave anyway," said Tiffany.
"Oh, what about?" asked Beth.
"For the last month, I've been looking into daycares for Tim so I can concentrate on getting a better paying job," Tiffany began. "Your relatives' daycare was one of the daycares I was looking at for Tim. I even have enrollment forms for that daycare. That daycare is reasonably priced; however, the price is still slightly above my price range."
"You want me to see what kind of deal I can get for you," said Beth.
"That was what I wanted, but once I heard it out loud from you, I could hear how imposing of a request that was," said Tiffany. "Please disregard it and I'm sorry to bring it up."
"No that's fine," said Beth. "I am dating Tim's dad, so I guess it would be only right if I help out with Tim where I can."
"So you will help me?" asked Tiffany.
"I'll talk to my Aunt April about working out a deal with you and get Tim in," said Beth. "Most likely I'll need to know what your financial status and situation are and how much you're looking to pay so a deal can be worked out."
"Of course and thank you for your help," said Tiffany.
"You're welcome," said Beth.
Tiffany told Beth how much she made at her current job as a dispatcher at a cab company along with her current expenses and how much she was able to afford for a daycare. When Tiffany saw that Beth wasn't writing anything down, she asked, "Shouldn't you write what I just said down?"
Beth repeated everything that just got said word for word. She then continued to say, "I have an excellent memory, but I can write it down if it would make you feel better."
"No, that's fine," said Tiffany. "I just know that I have to write everything down, but if you don't, that's great."
Beth grinned and asked, "So what kind of job are you looking for?"
"Any job that pays more than what I'm making now," said Tiffany. "I do have secretarial skills."
"I'll keep an eye out and if I see anything I'll let you know," said Beth as her beeper sounded.
"Thanks," said Tiffany as Beth went to look at her beeper.
"You're welcome." She then held up her beeper and said, "I'm being called to the emergency room."
"I'll see you," said Tiffany.
Beth just nodded and walked out.
When Beth stepped to the nurse's station, the nurse said, "You're needed in examination room three."
"Okay, thanks," said Beth.
A minute later Beth was surprise to see Eric, Geri and Lloyd as she walked into the room. A nurse was in the room, shaving an area on the Lloyd's head.
"Hey, Beth," said Geri. "We brought you a patient who needs sewing up."
"Aren't you supposed to be taking your prisoners to regional?" asked Beth.
"I said that too, but Eric wanted you," said Geri.
"I want to talk to you, Beth," said Eric.
Beth looked at Eric in a curious manner before saying, "I can't imagine why, but I'll take care of the patient first. Geri, you and your partner can wait outside."
"We're not supposed to leave the prisoner's side," said Eric.
"You're not supposed to bring him here either, but you did so everyone who is not a patient or on staff here, get out," Beth exclaimed.
"Beth…" Eric was able to get out.
"You can ask Brandon about this if you'd like, but a few nights ago I sedated an FBI agent because he was interfering with my job," said Beth. "I won't hesitate to sedate you or Geri if you don't leave this room."
Geri slightly laughed and said, "Eric, I think Beth will be fine here with the prisoner. You and I will wait outside."
Eric stared at Beth for a second before saying, "Fine." He then turned towards his prisoner. "I'll just be outside that door so if you try something, you will regret it."
"Whatever, you say, pig," said Lloyd.
Before Eric was able to respond, Beth said, "Hey, I'll be the one stitching up your head and it going to be painful as it is. Now I can show you the same respect as you're showing these officers by making sure it's even more painful or I can show you more respect and try to keep it less painful as possible. Which will it be?"
Lloyd looked at Beth in a resentful manner and said, "For you to be less painful."
"Then I don't want to hear any more disrespect towards these officers," said Beth.
"Yes, Doctor," said Lloyd.
"Oh yeah," Geri blurted out. "Beth can handle him. We'll be outside, Beth."
Beth grinned and nodded.
When Eric and Geri stepped out of the room, Lloyd asked, "Why do you care how respectful I am to those cops when I can tell that you don't like that one?"
"How I feel about him is irrelevant," said Beth as she was getting the things she needed to suture his head. "I just have a problem with you showing disrespect towards the police officers in general."
"You either have a family member who is a cop or you're dating one," said Lloyd.
"That's a very astute observation," said Beth. "You should apply your intelligence towards something other than a life of crime."
"I'm no criminal," said Lloyd.
"So I should disregard the fact that you're in handcuffs?" asked Beth as she was putting on gloves.
Before Lloyd was able to answer, the nurse said, "I'm done, Doctor."
As Beth nodded, Lloyd said, "I was arrested for breaking into the drug cabinet in a nursing home."
The nurse left the room. Beth stepped up to Lloyd and said, "The last I knew, breaking into anything is a crime. So by definition you did commit a criminal act."
"This is the first time I did anything like that," said Lloyd.
"If that is true than most likely the judge will place you on probation and order you to attend rehab," said Beth. "If that does happen, I suggest that you take that opportunity and clean up your act."
"I prefer you save your advice and sew up my head," said Lloyd.
"Okay," said Beth. Beth then began by cleaning the wound and numbing him as well as she could. "So what's your name?"
"It's Lloyd Tanner," he said.
"Well, Lloyd, if you haven't read my name badge yet, I'm Dr. O'Brian," she said.
As Beth began the suturing, Lloyd asked, "So who in your life is a cop?"
"My brother, my boyfriend and an uncle in New York are cops," said Beth. "My grandpa was a cop in New York when he was alive and I have another uncle who had a medical discharge from the force."
"Well, I see why you want me to show respect to the police officers," said Lloyd.
"You actually should show respect regardless," said Beth. "Things would go a lot easier for you if you cooperated."
"Again, Dr. O'Brian, I can do without your advice," said Lloyd.
"I'm just trying to help, but okay." It was quiet for a few seconds before Beth asked, "So have you had a tetanus shot in the past four years?"
"I had one two months ago," said Lloyd.
"You don't have to answer if you don't want, but what happened two months ago that you needed a tetanus shot?" asked Beth.
"I cut my leg on a rusting nail," said Lloyd. "I thought it might needed stitches so I went to the clinic that charged based on someone's income. It didn't need any stitches, but they did give me a tetanus shot."
"So how's your leg now?" asked Beth.
"It's fine," said Lloyd. "It was completely healed in less than three weeks."
"Good," said Beth.
It took Beth a few minutes to suture Lloyd's head and when she was done, she called Geri and Eric back in.
When Geri and Eric stepped in, Eric said, "Geri, take our prisoner out and wait for me in the hall. I want to talk to Beth alone."
Beth closed her eyes and shook her head, as Geri motioned for Lloyd to walk.
When Geri and Lloyd stepped out, Beth asked, "What do you want, Newbury?"
"I want to recruit your skill as a psychic and check out a woman for me," said Eric.
Beth looked at Eric in a curious manner and asked, "Aren't you married or do you just wear that wedding band for fun?"
"The woman I want you to check out is with my dad," said Eric. "My dad met this woman last night at a bar a few miles from here and he is planning to take her with him when he leaves for his next duty station."
Beth again looked at Eric in a curious manner and asked, "Next duty station? Is he in the service?"
"He is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force," said Eric. "Now I feel towards my dad much like how you feel towards me, but regardless as to how I feel about him, I don't what him to get duped."
"Newbury, you're a cop, so why don't you use what little detective skills you have and do detective work," said Beth. "Get her name and run a check on her."
"I did, Beth," said Eric. "She has no criminal records and her name doesn't appear on any driver's license."
"It rare these days for someone not to get a driver's license, but it's not unheard of," said Beth. "And the fact that she doesn't have a criminal record might mean that she's an honest person."
"I met the woman last night before she met my dad," said Eric. "We even played billiards together…"
"Billiards?" Beth questioned. "Everyone I know calls it pool."
"Are you going to make fun of the word I choose or can I finish?" asked Eric.
Beth grinned and said, "There's no reason that we can't do both, but if it bugs you then I can save the bantering until you finish."
"Well, the word billiards popped into my head first so that was what I use," said Eric.
Beth said in an amused manner, "Okay. Please finish."
"Anyway, she says that her name is Belinda Woods, but I'm now thinking that her name is just an alias. She wouldn't tell me where she's from either."
Beth waited a few seconds before asking, "Is that all you know about her?"
"We only played one game of pool before my dad walked in," said Eric. "After my dad walked in, I walk out and now, Belinda is planning to go with my dad to his duty station."
Beth slightly grinned and said in a sarcastic manner, "You're right Newbury. It sounds as though that your dad is mixed up with a dangerous woman."
"I know I have nothing, Beth, but my gut is telling me that something isn't right," said Eric.
"You don't know anything else about this woman other than her name… or possible name?" asked Beth.
"She was involved in that plane crash," said Eric.
Eric saw Beth's attention come to life as she said, "Okay, Newbury. I might be wasting my time with this, but I'll check her out for you. Where can I find her?"
"Okay, what's going on?" asked Eric.
Beth looked at Eric in a curious manner and said, "You asked me for help and I said yes. Do you think I should have made you grovel before agreeing to it?"
"You weren't interested in helping me until I mention that she was involved in the plane crash," said Eric.
"Okay, you caught me," said Beth in a sarcastic manner. "I'm collecting names and making a scrapbook on the plane crash survivors. I know I have a weird hobby, so don't tell anyone."
"That's fine," said Eric. "Don't tell me what's going on."
"What's going on is that I agree to help you," said Beth. "Now if you want my help, I'll need to know where I can find Belinda Woods."
Eric gazed at Beth in a skeptical manner for a second before saying, "My dad is staying at the Motel six. Belinda is staying with him. If there's anyway that you can get away from the hospital, I would like to meet you there at six o'clock."
Beth looked at Eric as if he had lost his mind and said, "You and I are not meeting at any motel or hotel."
"Beth, I'm married and you're dating Spence," said Eric.
"And that is a good reason alone not to meet you at a motel," said Beth.
"What are you talking about?" asked Eric.
"You're married and if someone who knows your wife sees us together at a motel, I doubt that your wife will believe at what we were doing was innocent," said Beth. "I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like a plot to a Lifetime movie in the makings."
"Okay, fine; most likely my dad will want to meet Little Jack anyway," said Eric. "So will you meet me at the motel if my wife Haley and Little Jack were with me?"
"First of all, I hope Little Jack is not his actual name," said Beth. "Anyway, I won't meet you there without Spence or Brandon or… well, someone will be with me if one of them can't come with me."
"Fine," said Eric. "And Haley's dad's name is Jack and that is why we call our son, Little Jack."
"Ah," said Beth.
"So you will meet me at the motel at six?" asked Eric.
"I'll be there," said Beth.
"Thank you," said Eric.
"No problem," said Beth. "I will need you to something for me though."
"And what would that be?" asked Eric.
"Your dad or Belinda can't find out that I'm a psychic," said Beth. "In fact if all possible I need the knowledge of my psychic abilities to get buried and forgotten. So if you would, I need you to pass the word to every officer who knows me for them to keep their mouth shut about my abilities."
"Okay, something is definitely going on," said Eric. "Now what is it?"
"Just please tell the people at the precinct to keep quiet about my abilities," said Beth. She then gestured towards the door. "Now, I need to get back to work."
Eric watched Beth in a curious manner as she turned and walked out. Eric shook it off and as he followed her out, he mumbled, "Okay, don't tell me."
A minute later, as Beth was walking towards the nurse's station, she saw Barry as he was being discharged. She then turned and saw Tiffany with Tim. Tiffany had her hands full while carrying Tim and the teddy bear. Beth glanced back at Barry before walking up to Tiffany.
As Beth was stepping up to Tiffany, she said, "Okay, before you leave, I want to say bye to this cutie-pie. Would it be okay if I hold him for a minute?"
"I don't mind, but he's very shy around people who he doesn't really know," said Tiffany. "In fact, it took my brother over a week before Tim would allow my brother to hold him."
Beth held out her hands for Tim to come and asked, "Hey, Sweetie, can I give you a hug bye?" Tim buried his face in the teddy bear and clung onto Tiffany tighter. "Well, Teddy, can I give you a hug bye?" Tim just looked at Beth from the corner of his eyes. "Teddy wants me to give him a hug." Tim just watched Beth from the corner of his eyes as Beth took the teddy bear and gave it a hug. Beth handed back the bear to Tiffany and held out her hands again for Tim to go to her. "Teddy gave me a hug, but I would sure like to get a hug from you." Tim continued to stare at Beth from the corner of his eyes as he held onto Tiffany. Beth gave up and rubbed Tim's back. "Okay, Sweetie. I don't have to have that hug."
"Once he's around you for about a week, Beth, Tim will warm up to you," said Tiffany.
Before Beth was able to respond, Tim reached for Beth and said, "Hug."
Beth said in a pleasing manner. "Oh, I will get that hug today after all."
As Beth took Tim, Tiffany said, "Okay, you were the first person to persuade Tim to go to anyone that he didn't know very well in less than twenty-fours."
Beth grinned and said, "I have a way with kids." Tim noticed the freckles on Beth's wrist and arm, and tried to wipe them off. "Sweetie, those spots won't come off."
Tim glanced up into Beth's eyes and as he continued trying to wipe off the freckles, Tim said, "Dirdy."
"No dirt; they're freckles," said Beth. Beth exposed more of her skin to show more of her freckles. "See freckles."
Tim tried to wipe off the freckles and said, "Fec-kles."
"I don't think Tim understands that those freckles won't come off," said Tiffany.
"Well, I'm going to get my hug before you get bored with me and my freckles," said Beth.
As Beth hugged Tim, Tiffany asked, "Any other kids think the same way as Tim?"
"A few," said Beth. "Eight years ago I was sleeping on the living room couch while wearing a bikini. I was lying on my stomach and when my twin cousins saw me, they decided to play connect the dots on my back with an ink pen. They were five at the time."
Tiffany grinned and said, "I bet you stopped sleeping around five-year-olds with an ink pen."
"Actually, the interesting part of them doing that is that my brother Keith noticed that my freckle pattern on my back comes very close at forming the Pegasus constellation," said Beth. "He took a picture of my back while my back was marked up and showed it and a picture of the constellation to me."
"That's interesting," said Tiffany.
Beth looked into the direction of where she saw Barry. When she couldn't see Barry she said, "Well, I've better hand Tim back to you and get back to work." Beth gave Tim a kiss on the cheek before handing him back to Tiffany. Beth waved bye to him. "Bye, Sweetie. I'll see you later." Beth looked up at Tiffany. "Bye."
"Bye, Beth," said Tiffany. She and Beth went their respective direction.
Beth didn't get very far from Tiffany when Rebecca stepped up to her and said, "You'll need to re-check the surgical board. There have been changes to it."
"I'll check it now," said Beth. She then walked in the direction of the board. When she stepped up to the board, she saw that she was scheduled to assist, Dr. Michaels in a type of operation that she was unfamiliar with at 10:30 A.M. which was in forty minutes. Beth looked at the board in a curious manner and mumbled, "Who's Dr. Michaels?" Beth gazed over the board for another minute. When she left she went directly to the medical library to read up on the operation that she was to assist with.
In Egypt, the Cylons there located a local archaeologist who was able to speak English and were able to persuade him to lead them into the pyramids. As they walked through, they recognized a few symbols, but not enough to know what was said. Number-three of that group had a notebook and pencil and wrote down what they saw.
In London Charles, Frank and Abby had returned to Oxford and went straight to their editor with their pictures. The editor thought that the pictures and their story were part of an elaborate hoax. When they couldn't convince their editor that the pictures were genuine, they created a blog and uploaded them onto the Internet along with the story to it.
At the art gallery owned by Alicia's mom, Number-Six walked through the front door. Alicia's mom, stepped up to Number-Six and said, "Hi, I'm Page Baxter, the owner and curator. You're welcome to browse and if you see anything you like to purchase, don't hesitate to find me."
"This is my third art gallery and I'm not here to buy, but to appreciate the art," said Number-Six.
"Well, welcome and I hope you like what you see," said Page. "I will have to ask you to obey the signs and don't touch the exhibit."
"Of course," said Number-Six.
"Oh and there are donuts and coffee," said Page as she gestured towards the refreshments. "They are free so just help yourself."
"Thank you," said Number-Six.
Page politely grinned and nodded. She and Number-Six walked their respective ways.
The art gallery was moderately crowed with mostly adults and eight children between the age of four and eleven. All of the visitors were dressed in fine clothing that indicated a status of having a good income. Number-Six was the only one who was wearing a more modest clothes. As Number-Six walked up to the exhibit, the people around her looked at her for longer than a glance. The more snooty had looked at her from head to toe before going about his or her business.
Number-Six was looking at the fifth painting when a four-year-girl tapped on her lower hip.
When Number-Six looked down, the girl asked, "What's your name?"
"I'm Savannah," she said.
"My name's Katie," said the girl. "I'm not allowed to talk to strangers."
Number-Six looked at Katie in a curious manner and asked, "I'm a stranger, so why are you talking to me?"
"You're Savannah, silly, not a stranger," said Katie.
"Your parents didn't explain the concept very well of someone being a stranger to you, did they?" asked Number-Six.
"Huh?" asked Katie.
"Katie, go to your mother or father and ask one of them to explain stranger to you," said Number-Six.
"My mommy is in heaven and my daddy is away," said Katie. "He's been gone for a long time. I don't know if he's coming back."
"Who are you here with?" asked Number-Six.
As Katie's uncle was approaching, Katie said, "I'm here with Uncle Noah."
"Katie, how many times have I've told you not to wander off from me?" asked Noah.
"You didn't tell me at all today," said Katie.
"Well, you're not to wander off from me if I remind you or not," said Noah. "You also know not to go around troubling people."
"I'm not troubling people," said Katie. "I was only talking to Savannah."
Number-Six got Noah's attention and said, "In case you hadn't figured it out, I'm Savannah."
"I have deduced that on my own, Madam," said Noah.
"Well, what you haven't deduced on your own, is that once Katie learns of someone's name, she doesn't think of that someone as a stranger," said Number-Six. "Now if you don't want Katie speaking to strangers as she had mentioned to me, then you may want to explain the concept better of someone being a stranger."
"You're right, I wasn't aware that Katie didn't realize what a stranger is," said Noah. "That does explains as to why she won't stop walking up to people and asking their names when I keep telling her not to talk to strangers." Noah stuck out his hand to shake hands. "Anyway, Savannah, I'm Noah Walker and you met my niece."
As Number-Six shook hands, she said, "Nice to meet you."
"So are you here to buy a decoration for your home?" asked Noah.
"I'm just here to admire the artwork," said Number-Six.
"Are you a connoisseur of art?" asked Noah.
"No," said Number-Six as she shook her head. "What about you? Are you here to buy or to admire?"
Noah grinned and said, "Both. My father loves his art and I can't think to what else to get him for Christmas. I wouldn't mind having the company of a beautiful lady who also loves and appreciates art as I search for my father's gift."
Number-Six grinned and said, "I too wouldn't mind the company."
As the minutes slowly passed, Number-Six and Noah held a conversation as they and Katie browsed the gallery in a slow and leisurely fashion. Katie joined into the conversation when the opportunity permitted.
Number-Six, Noah and Katie were together for fifteen minutes when Alicia walked into the gallery and saw Number-Six. Alicia quickly moved out of view. She quickly took her phone from her purse and called Beth.
At the university hospital, Beth was stepping up to the sink as her cell phone rang. She looked at the number and answered, "This is a bad time, Alicia. I'm getting ready to scrub in for surgery."
"I'll make it quick," said Alicia. "Savannah is here and she has befriended Noah and Katie."
"Noah and Katie are not a threat to her, so I wouldn't worry about it," said Beth. "There is something about Savannah that I find interesting and a plus for us."
"What's that?" asked Alicia.
"Savannah believes in a god and in fate," said Beth "I really believe that Savannah's mission is a twisted belief that what she and her group are doing is the will of god. I believe there's a chance through powerful persuasion that Savannah could be convinced that what she is trying to do is wrong."
"I hope you aren't planning to confront her about her plans," said Alicia.
"No-no, that would be too dangerous if not suicidal," said Beth.
"I'm glad you realized that," said Alicia. "But what is your plan?"
"When the opportunities present it selves, I'm going to talk about god, forgiveness and anything else I can think of that would get her to question her plans," said Beth as Dr. Michaels opened the door to walk in. Beth heard the door opening and faced him. "Alicia, thanks for informing me on this, but I have to let you go, so I'll call you later when we can talk."
"Okay, bye," said Alicia.
Dr. Michaels gave Beth a degraded look and said in the same manner, "If this operation is interfering with your social life then perhaps I should get another intern."
Beth held her temper and as she held up the phone she said, "If you look at my phone you will noticed that it was an incoming call and it was only a minute long."
"How long would it have been if I didn't walk in when I did?" asked Dr. Michaels.
"The same length," said Beth.
Dr. Michaels again said in a degrading manner, "I'm sure it would have."
Beth said in a tone as if to make a stand, "This is the first time that we even laid eyes on each other, Dr. Michaels, so you have no right to have that kind of attitude towards me. Now I'm damn good at what I do and if you ask around, the residents and attendings will say the same. You on the other hand could be a quack surgeon as for as I know."
Let's get this clear, Dr. O'Brian," said Dr. Michaels. "I will not tolerate incompetence or insubordinations."
"Incompetence I'm not, Dr. Michaels, and as far as being an insubordinate, I have no problem with following orders or respecting my superiors as long as the person giving me the orders isn't a disrespectful asshole who treats everyone around him as an incompetent," said Beth. "Now if you want to replace me go right ahead or do I scrub in?"
"Scrub in, Dr. O'Brian, and regardless of you being an intern, I don't want to see any intern mistakes from you," said Dr. Michaels.
"And I don't want to see any quack mistakes from you," said Beth as she set her phone to vibrate. She then turned towards the sink to scrub in.
As Dr. Michaels stepped up to the sink to scrub in, he said, "For your information, Dr. O'Brian, I'm a specialist out of Miami. I was called here because of this procedure."
Beth said as she was scrubbing in, "That doesn't give you the right to treat people, especially the ones you just met as incompetents."
As Dr. Michaels began scrubbing in, he said, "I haven't seen anything from anyone's performance to make me change my opinions of people."
"I hope your surgical skills are as high as your standards are, and you won't be able to hide it from me if it's not," said Beth.
"And I hope you are as good as you talk," Dr. Michaels spouted back.
As Beth was finishing up at scrubbing in, she said, "Be prepared to be dazzled."
Dr. Michaels gave Beth a skeptical look as Beth walked away.
At the art gallery, Alicia stepped up to Number-Six, Noah and Katie and said, "Savannah, I never expected to see you here. Welcome."
"Hearing you and Beth talking about art last night had inspired me to come here and admire the art," said Number-Six.
"Beth?" Noah questioned. "Are you meaning Beth O'Brian?"
"Yes," said Number-Six.
"Savannah lives in the same building as Beth," said Alicia.
"I have Beth's painting on my wall," said Katie.
"You must like it to have it on your wall," said Number-Six.
"It's a picture of a mommy unicorn and a baby unicorn," said Katie. "I love unicorns."
"That's sounds nice," said Number-Six.
"Well, Savannah, I hope you enjoy the exhibits and right now the types of artwork that we have are on religion, modern and conventional art," said Alicia. "Oh and there are a few on mythology and the dark ages."
"There's a nice turned over rate as well so in two weeks from now, seventy-five percent of the artwork will be different," said Noah.
"I'm interested in seeing those religious artworks," said Number-Six.
Noah pointed and said, "They're over in that area of the gallery."
Katie took hold of Number-Six's hand and said, "I'll take you to them."
Alicia saw the uncertain expression on Number-Six's face as she allowed Katie to lead her by the hand. Alicia and Noah followed right behind.
After they stepped up to a painting of Jesus, Alicia said, "Here we have the Son of God." Alicia glanced at Number-Six as she continued to say, "Katie, you might not know this, but Jesus forgives all people for their sins. In fact we get the phrase, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone,' from him. Jesus said that when a group of people wanted to stone an adulteress to death."
Alicia saw Number-Six in a deep thought as Katie asked, "What is an adulteress?"
"An Adulteress is an unmarried woman who gets friendly to a man in a way that a wife would," said Alicia.
"I was wondering how you were going to answer that," said Noah. Alicia just grinned.
"I don't understand," said Katie.
"That's okay," said Alicia. "You will understand when you're older."
"Well, I'm almost five," said Katie.
"You will need to be older than five before you can understand better," said Alicia.
"Will I be able to understand when I get six?" asked Katie.
"You will have to be more like twelve or thirteen," said Noah.
"Wow, I have to be that old," said Katie.
Alicia and Noah slightly laughed. Alicia then said, "You will be that old before you know it."
Alicia continued to another religious painting and like last time she gave subtle hints to Number-Six while making out that she was talking to Katie about it.
After Alicia talked about the third religious painting Noah asked, "Alicia, did you just recently take a job teaching Sunday school?"
Alicia grinned and as she shook her head she said, "No. I figured since we were looking at these paintings that Katie should learn a little about them." Alicia glanced at Number-Six.
"Well, if you keep going as you are, there won't be anything else for her to learn tomorrow in church," said Noah.
Alicia grinned and said, "You're right. I'm done." She gestured towards the front. "I should check to see if my mom needs me to do anything anyway. I hope everyone enjoys the exhibits and I'll see everyone later." She then turned and walked away.
As Alicia was walking away, Katie blurt out, "See you."
Alicia waved as she continued as she continued walking.
