Just before 7.00pm Fridat evening , Paige , Walter carrying Megan in her car seat and Ralph walked through the door of Kovelsky's , they saw Cabe and Allie already seated . Before they could move over to them , Mrs Kovelsky came rushing over .
" How are my favourite little family , i trust this man is still treating you well and how is the little princess . " She said as she bent towards Megan , this time Megan put her hand out immediatly .
Paige smiled . " She wants to hold your finger , it is her way of showing you she accepts you . "
" What a cute thing to do . " A smiling Mrs Kovelsky said as she slowly moved her hand towards Megan , who held her little finger and began to giggle .
After a couple of minutes Megan let go of Mrs Kovelsky's finger. Mrs kovelsky slowly straightened up with a sigh . " These old bones cannot take leaning over like they used to , but any pain i suffer was more than worth it just to see that smile on all your faces . I will let you go to your guests , i hope you enjoy your food . "
Walter put Megan , in her car seat , at the far end of the bench , once Paige had put her bib on her , this time a yellow one printed with Daddy's Girl . Walter moved next to her and Paige on the outside of the bench . Ralph slipped in along side Cabe and Allie . "
" Good to see you all again . " Cabe said .
Allie who was looking at Megan with a smile on her face . " Why does Megan need a bib ? "
" Just wait and see . " Paige said a big smile on her face .
Walter had yet to take his eyes off Megan . He lifted his head up from lookig at Megan . "Good evening , Allie , Cabe , thank you for joing us tonight , although i do have an ulterior motive , i was wondering if you could fill us in the cases we stired up when we found the two rooms in the loft . "
Cabe looked across at Walter , a smile on his face . " You just cannot resist being involved can you . "
Walter smiled back at him . " I don't want to be involved , just interested since it was our work that started all these problems . "
" Ok but can we order first please , i am starving . " Cabe said a bigger smile on his face .
" I concur . " Ralph added .
Once they had ordered , Cabe began to explain what had happened , once the invesigation had been put into action .
" Well the FBI have had a lot of success , thanks to the work Paige and you have done on Baltic Holdings , sorry and Ralph's input as well . "
That bought a big smile on to Ralph's face . " Thanks grandpa .
" Within a few days all the names of the people in the States had been checked out and many raids were carried out . Hundreds of weapons were recovered , they also made over two hundred arrests . The information with regards to the overseas address's , were passed onto the relavant agencies in the countries involved . Not really sure how that will work out due to the fact there is a lot of corruption in many of the countries were Baltic Holdings sold weapons ,
The IRS were interested in the information you had gathered , Paige they asked us to pass on their thanks . As far as i am aware the investigation is going along well . "
At that point a waitress arrived with their food , it took her two trips because of the number of people . For the next twenty minutes very little was spoken . But both Cabe and and Allie were both fascinated at the way Megan was asking Walter to share his french fries .
" Just how long as she been eating like that ? " Allie asked her face full of curiosity . "
Paige's smile got bigger . " Just over a week ago , we were eating some food at Walter's house , Walter had got Megan in his arms and she tried to take a french fry off Walter . Walter picked one up blew on it and handed it to Megan , it took her a few minutes to figure exactly how to eat it although more went on her and Walter than she managed to eat . Saturday we found out she likes frozen yogurt , but Saturday we had taken her a bib to save her clothes . Sunday was funny , Ralph gave her ice cream which she also liked . Then Sunday after we had left the Auction we picked up some food from a Subway outlet and again went down to the beach , this time she was in her car seat . She made her sign to Walter to tell him she wanted to share his food by making a fist and blowing on it . Walter refused , he had spicy filling on his , so she scrunched her face at him then shook her little fist at him , it was so cute . Ralph passed a chip to Walter who handed it to Megan , she blew on it , put it in her mouth , scrunched her face and spit it out . In the end Walter took a small amount of bread from the sub and gave it to her . "
Both Allie and Cabe broke out in a laugh .
Once they had finished their meal , a waitress came across to clear the table and asked if they would like to order a dessert .
Ralph looked at his mom . " Can i have an ice cream ? "
Before Paige could answer , a big smile appeared on Megan's face as she called out Ral , Ral, and made a fist and put it towards her mouth , much to the amusment of the whole table even the waitress had a smile on her face .
" Of course you can Ralph . " Paige told him before turning to the waitress" Could you please also do a very small portion of vanilla icecream for Megan ? "
" I am sure we can , espically as that little lady is so cute . " The waitress replied
Once the waitress left Cabe began to speak again . " Scott as returned to Washington , but left the other agents behind , who are spending their time going through every case that had connection to the twelve people who were paying Carlson .
Dallas office did contact Scott before he left , after a lot of work by the agents sent to the army base . Following the paper trail they found the rifles were part of a consignment that was delivered and signed for at the camp , but there was no record of them ever leaving the camp . In the end they left the investigation into the reason to the arm's disappeance to their own military police force, the security of the storage of the weapons and ammuntion was being investigated by JAG .
The curious case was that that of Jale Summers Construction Companies , again due to some good work by Paige . " He stopped speaking to give Paige a smile . " Who's research picked up something that the agents had missed , it appeared the company were employing a large number of illegal immigrants . A raid on all the sites they were working at the same time , by immigration , Homeland , including Rusty , Simone and Nick , they found over 1000 illegal immigrants . But the best part , if you could call it that was , that at just only on a couple of sites , they had taken a couple of engineers with them who checked some of the work that was being carried out and found sub standard materials was being used . This caused a lot of concern , so all the sites were checked with the same results .
There is now a legal investigation going on into everything they are doing and have done over the last ten years , espcially as a lot of them are goverment buildings . So Paige you have caused a lot of work for people . But it also means all of Jake Summers work sites are at present all shut down . "
Paige smiled at Cabe . " Glad to be of service . "
The waitress returned and put a double scoop of icecream in front of Ralph , who's face broke into a big smile . Megan looked across and imediatly made a fist and put it towards her mouth .
" It is alright young lady , i have a special dish just for you . " The waitress said as she placed a dish with about half a scoop of icecream in front of Walter , with a small teaspoon for her .
Megan immediatly turned to Walter , said Da, Da and put her fist towards her mouth .
" Ok little princess . "
Walter turned a little more towards Megan , picked the teaspoon up and put a small amount of icecream and began to feed Megan . All the time he was doing this , Cabe and Allie could not take their eyes of the two of them .
Ralph had finished his iceream , Walter was still feeding Megan with hers , it still seemed funny as she still blew before every spoonful before she accepted it in her mouth .
Eventually she finished the last of the icecream , when there was no more left , she looked a little disappointed and again made a fist and put it by her mouth .
" Sorry little princess , but it as all gone and i think you have had enough. "
Megan scrunched her face and shook a fist at Walter , which caused the whole table to break out in laughter .
" She is so cute when she does things like that . " Allie said a big smile on her face .
" She his , at times i forget she is not six months old yet . " A proud Paige said .
Cabe cut into the conversation . " Just so you know , all the other cases are still being looked into , most by other agents . My main job at the moment is to liase with all of the agents , i can tell you now it is twice as difficult than trying to keep Scorpion in order . I think i could do with Paige or at least someone like her . "
" Thank you for the compliment , but as far as i am concerned the only liason work i want to do , is with decorators , poolmen and garden landscapers . " She told Cabe with a big smile on her face .
" I understand now just what a good job you did keeping all of those nerds in order . "
Paige gave a small cough before saying . " Thank you . "
They stayed talking for another thirty minutes .
Walter looked across to Megan , who by now had fallen asleep in her car seat . He turned to Paige . " I think it is time we made our way home , Megan is purring . "
Allie looked at him . " Purring . "
Walter looked at her a smile on his face . " Yes , just like Paige once she falls into a deep sleep . Both of them begin to make a low purr , a bit like a contented kitten . "
They all said goodnight , Paige fitted Megan's seat back in the holder on the back seat of her car before climbing into the front passenger seat .
Saturday morning the whole family were on the sofa waiting for Sean and Louise to contact them on the computer , Megan was cuddled up in Walter's arms.
Today Walter cut the video call at 10.45 am due to the fact , Paige needed to be at the house before noon , as Sam was due to repair the seat's metalwork .
Walter and Ralph left just after they had disconnected the video call . Paige checked out Megan , before she left , after changing Megan's diaper , today with some difficulty as Megan seemed to have the devil in her , as she insisted kicking her legs about and moving her arms and almost shouting DA ,DA . Megan eventually calmed down , when Paige spoke gently to her . " I know sweetheart i miss Da, Da, to . "
Once Megan had been changed , Paige put her in the car seat and made her way to Walter's house she still found it difficult to think of it as their house , as she still felt some guilt as to what she had put Walter through for ten months . But as soon as Megan began to giggle , as Paige started the car , her overall demeaner began to change to one of happiness . She knew now her life could not be better .
She arrived at the house at 11.45am and saw Sam's Fiat 5oo parked on the drive next to Walter's Range Rover , Walter having driven the van , which Richard arranged to be delvered to the house , to her home the previous night . Fortunatly the drive was wide enough for three vehicles , so she managed to pull up on the other side of Walter's car . She got out of the car and walked to the rear to unclip Megan's car seat from it's holder .
Sam had got out of her car and went over to greet Paige . " Morning Paige , sorry i am a bit early, but i was not to sure how long it would take me to get here from my apartment . "
Paige a smile on her face . " Not a problem , could you just grab the blue bag for me ? " Paige asked as she pointed to the bag on the seat at the side of Megan Car seat .
" Certainly , i hope you had a pleasant evening , Walter told me you were meeting up with two old friends . "
" We certainly did , Cabe had been like a father figure to all members of Scorpion and when he got with Allie she became a bit like a mother figure to the team . But lets get inside and i will put some coffee on . "
Sam gave her a smile . " Coffee would be good , but first i would like to see the work i need to do . "
" Of course , all the items are in the garage , hold on while i sort the key out from this bunch i have got . "
Paige , followed by Sam walked up to the garage . Paige put Megan in her seat at the side of the garage door , then walked to the door and opened it . As Paige opened the door , Sam's eyes went wide . " That is more like a mini wharehouse rather than a garage . "
Paige turned to her a smile on her face . " Yes Walter seems to like a large garage . "
Paige went to pick Megan up and then led Sam to the chairs which were in need of repair .
Sam took a look at the damage . " Well it is not as bad as i thought , when i first saw the pictures on Walter's phone , let me get my electic welder out of the car . " With that she turned and left the garage .
She was back in a few minutes , carrying a small piece of equipment . Paige looked at it and with curiosty in her voice asked . " I always thought welding was with a big torch and large cylinders of gas ? "
Sam smiled at her . " These old type seats are made of cast iron , to much heat could cause more damage . This type of welding does not use as much heat so it should be perfect .Now if you don't mind would you please take Megan into the house and stay with her until i have finished , i only have one set of protective gear with me . "
Paige smiled . " Of course , i will go and put some coffee on , i will leave the door open so you can just walk in when you are finished . " At that Paige picked up Megan , in her car seat , and her bag and made her way indoors via the door in the garage .
After thirty minutes , Paige heard a knock on the door that led to the garage ,
Paige shouted . " Come in . " Sam appeared at the door , " Do you want to come and see what i have done ? "
Paige picked Megan up and walked to the door to the garage . Sam was standing there a smile on her face as she pointed to the newly repaired seats ,
Paige looked at the work . " That is very good , i don't think Happy could have done a better job .
Sam looked a little confused . " Happy ! Who is she ? "
A half smile onher face Paige replied . " She was our mechanical and electrical engineer at Scorpion , she was also a real bad ass in a dangerous situation . "
" She is the sort of person i would love to meet . " Said a smiling Sam .
" Lets go get some coffee and i will tell you a little bit more . "
"Ok just give me a minute to put the welder back in my car . " Sam replied .
Paige stayed in the garage admiring the seats now they all were capable of standing on their own , Sam was back a few minutes later .
" Ok, shall we get that coffee now ? " Sam asked .
Paige led them back to the kitchen , poured two cups of coffee , after puting Megan , still in her car seat on the kitchen island , she put one cup in front of Sam and one by were she was sitting on one of the high stools .
By now Megan was becoming restless and unsettled and began uttering Da , Da . " Alright sweetheart , i know you want to see daddy , let me and Sam have our coffee and i will ring him to see were he is at the moment . "
Megan calmed down a little at the sound of Paige's voice and immediatly made a fist and put it to her mouth .
Sam watched what she was doing . " Is Megan asking for something to eat ? " Sam asked a little confused .
" Yes but normally it is if Walter or Ralph are eating something . " Paige then turned to Megan . " Sorry little princess , it can only be milk . "
Megan uttered Mo, Mo , again putting her fist to her mouth .
Paige turned to Sam . " Will you be alright here while i go feed Megan , when i come back , how about i ring Walter to see if they are still at the garage . If they are we could pick up some food and visit the garage . That is if you would like to do that of course . "
A big smile came on Sam's face . " I would love that if it is not to much trouble . "
" Not at all i need an excuse to go and see Walter as we have lunch together everyday and i know Megan loves to see Da, Da . " At that Paige picked up her blue bag and Megan and went up to Walter's bedroom .
Twenty minutes later Paige was back , Megan fed and winded. Sam did not appear to have moved since Paige had left her . She put Megan back on the kitchen island and her blue bag on one of the spare stools . She pulled her phone out from her pocket and dialled Walter .
" Hello beautiful lady . " Walter answered .
" Hi , handsome man , Sam as repaired the chairs , are you still at the garage ? "
" Yes we are still dismantling the computers . "
" Ok we will come over , Sam would like to see the garage , we will stop and pick some food up for lunch . See you in about a hour , I love you . "
" Love you to . "
Just over a hour later Paige and Sam pulled up on the parking space outside the garage . Paige carried Megan and her blue bag , Sam followed carrying the bags of food .
This time Walter had been waiting for them and having heard the cars pull up was waiting at the door and immediatly gave Paige a kiss and took Megan from her causing Megan to utter Da, Da .
They all entered the garage , were Ralph ran across to his mom and gave her a hug , which Paige returned . Once he released Paige he saw Sam . .
" It is good to see you again Sam . "
Paige told Sam to follow her into the kitchen , were Paige sorted the food out , she then called Walter and Ralph into the kitchen , once again Walter put Megan next to him .
Not much talking was done during the meal , but Sam was again amused at the way Megan shared Walter's french fries . Once they had finished their food , Paige put all the remains back into the bag they had bought it in .
Sam was talking to Walter and Ralph exactly what they were up to . Ralph looked at Walter who just nodded his head and with a lot of exciment in his voice , he began to explain what they had been doing . So far they had disconnected the majority of the computers , including all the computers and other pieces of equipment that Walter and Sylvester had built in an attempt to trace Mark Collins .
At the mention of Mark Collins name Sam looked a little confused . Walter broke into Ralph's conversation .
" Mark was an early member of Scorpion , but we had to get rid of him ,since then he became a thorn in the side , he is still somewhere out there , i just hope he just stays away from us . "
Ralph then carried on telling Sam a little more about what they had done and what else they stiil needed to do .
Walter again spoke to Sam once Ralph had finished . " I am glad you came over to see us , would you like to check out the desks to see if they will be of use and if there is sufficent number to do the job you want to do . Also you might want to look at the area Happy used to work at, there is a good selection of metal and electrical gear , that may be of use . Paige could you come over here please ? "
" Yes my love . " Paige asked as she walked over to him , a cute smile on her face .
" Would you mind showing Sam around the garage ? " Walter said as he leaned in and gave her a kiss .
" If you don't mind waiting about thirty minutes , so i can go and feed and change Megan , it would be my pleasure . " Paige answered .
" I am in your hands , but why not show me Happy's work area , i am sure i can amuse myself for that time going through what some people call rubbish . " Sam said a big smile on her face .
" Follow me . " Paige told her .
Once she showed Sam the area were Happy used to work , Paige collected Megan and her blue bag and went up to the loft .
Paige returned thirty minutes later , Megan cuddled in her arms who had fallen asleep .
She showed Sam around the rest of the garage , Sam examined all the desks as she walked around . After about twenty minutes Sam walked over to Walter to tell him the desks were fine and should be sufficent . Sam was enjoying herself , so she asked if she could stay for the rest of the afternoon and help out in whatever way role she could . Walter , Paige and Ralph were more than happy for her to stay .
By 5.00pm they had loaded all the desks and the majority of the computers onto the van . Sam asked if she could help in the unloading at Walter's house , as she had loaded electrical accessories and pieces of metal and timber on the van .
The other three were more than happy to accept the help , Paige also invited her to join them for a meal at Kovelsky's once they had offloaded everthing , which Sam was happy to do .
