The day of Callen's suspension had found Jasmine at her Grandmother's house. "You'll take good care of Lilly Grandma?" Jasmine asked for the 100th time.

The older elegant woman smiled fondly at her only grandchild as she drew her into a warm embrace in her petite arms. "Of course I will. We even have plans to have tea one afternoon," Michelle's mother said glancing where the American Girl doll rested in her rocking chair. "Of course it will not be as special as the tea you, Uncle Callen and Lily had at the American Girl Place, but I am sure we will still have fun. Now do you have everything packed for camp?"

The little girl nodded her head enthusiastically. "Yes. Shirts, shorts, jeans and my bathing suit. They have a lake we can swim in and horses to ride. "

"You are going to have so much fun," her Grandmother said with a final squeeze before releasing her. "I wish I was going."

"Sorry, but this camp is only for kids," her granddaughter answered very seriously. "Do they have camps for people your age?"

Jessica laughed at her granddaughter's tone which suggested she could not imagine grown-ups having such places. "Actually they do. " Before she could go on, a white van pulled up in front of the house. "I think they're here." Jasmine eagerly grabbed her suitcase and backpack and headed towards the door after a quick farewell wave to her doll Lily.

Jessica opened the door to find a male dressed in tan shorts and a dark polo shirt about to ring her buzzer.

"Hi! My name is Mike, from Camp Sunshine, and I am here to pick up," he quickly consulted his clipboard, "Jasmine Hanna."

"That's me," Jasmine said bouncing up and down with excitement. She peered around him to the empty van and a small look of disappointment washed across her face. "Where are the other kids?"

Mike let a big smile wash across his face. "You, Miss Hanna, are the first stop. Then we have six more children to pick-up. Two boys and four girls. If you would sign here please," he said handing the clipboard and the attached form to her Grandmother. "I will be bringing Jasmine back here on August 13th. Around 3:00 pm if the traffic cooperates. "

Jessica signed the form then returned the board. "Yes. I will be here." Bending over she gave her granddaughter a huge hug and kiss goodbye. "Have a super wonderful time. Be safe!"

Jasmine hugged her back equally hard. "I will."

"Our camp is extremely fun," he grinned down at the little girl as he took her suitcase. "And extremely safe," he addressed to the older woman. "The camp's office number is on the forms you received. Remember, we do ask that you try not to call the first week. We find it helps the campers to settle in better." Mike gave the older woman another smile before he headed with Jasmine's suitcase down the walk to the van. After putting the suitcase he took from Jasmine in the rear, he opened the front passenger door and bowed deeply. "Since you are the first guest, you get to ride up front with me.

Jasmine happily climbed into the seat and buckled up as her father taught her. Mike moved back to the driver's side, got in and started the engine. As the van pulled away from the curb, Jasmine waved to her Grandmother until she was out of sight. "This is exciting" she said to Mike when her Grandmother was no longer visible. "Like an adventure."

"You have no idea," Mike replied with a smile that was a bit evil.
