The next 2 days would be considerably busy for everyone working at the hospital, experiencing a major test to their abilities. A massive refinery explosion at the World Oil Refining that spilled over to most of the lanes of the 101 Los Angeles Freeway. It resulted in a massive traffic crash pile up with a tremendous amount of treatable to near fatal to fatal injuries. Ellie, Devon, and the rest of their fellow co-workers along with the nursing staff went into overdrive in order to handle the chaotic aftermath. As Chief Operating Officer and temporary boss of Westside Medical Center, she made sure to keep in contact both by phone, as well as in person when it came to every physician who went above and beyond during those 2 days.
She would establish a working relationships across the continuum of care with other hospitals in the area in order to cast a much wider net when it comes to sharing information that would be deemed helpful to pass along. Information involving the who, what, where, when, why, and how regarding the injured being ambulanced in or to other hospitals and relaying the message via herself or by way of the hospital's public affair's spokesperson to all media outlets. Of course, tensions would rise among friends and family members calling or coming to the hospital frantically looking for answers to the whereabouts of their loved ones. Thankfully, Sarah's new found confidence in being able to utilize diplomacy and tact, without resorting to her old wildcard enforcer ways, helped immensely.
Overall, she was able to proudly represent the hospital as a whole, her fellow colleagues, the primary donors, the board of directors, and most of all Chief Administrator Diane Beckman for her fine exemplary leadership during a time of crisis. Speaking of Chief Beckman, word got out to her concerning how Sarah took charge and was able to keep everybody focused on the mission they were trained to. It warranted an unexpected phone call from the short red headed woman to her second in command. She would inform her blonde counterpart that it was Casey who kept her up to speed of how much of an exceptional a job she did.
As much as she wanted to downplay her efforts, she humbly accepted the praise because she was pretty much exhausted in every sense of the word to even turn it down. Plus, it was Casey who backed her up every step of the way, along with Scooter and not to mention Emmitt, much to her surprise. Thankfully, things for the most part settled down heading into Friday for some much needed fun in the form of Bash At The Bench, which couldn't have come at a better time. The staff needs it and so does the temporary boss of Westside Medical Center. Speaking of the Chief Operating Officer, she is sitting behind her desk in her office working on paperwork when she takes a break in order to rub her face and then reaches over to pick up her Starbucks cup of coffee.
She finishes the rest of what's remaining and throws it in the trash. Afterwards, she leans back in her chair expressing a tired groan as she looks up at her ceiling. A number of thoughts are running through her head, but she's too tired to even think about them, one of them being Chuck and Vivian's relationship. For her what happened the past 2 days was considered to be a distraction in helping her to focus on something else. As she continues to look up at the ceiling, she suddenly hears a knock on her office door.
"Come in!" she called out.
Sarah's office door opens leading Casey to step in holding a cup of coffee in his right hand. He's about to say something when Molly suddenly walks in. The hulking head of security nearly spilling/dropping said cup of coffee causing him to expresses a noteworthy grunt. As for the 13 year old, she stops a few feet away in the entrance and takes in her surroundings. "Nice office, sis." she announced. The young teenager flings her back pack on to one of the chairs situated in front of big sister's desk.
"It surely is Mol. Spacious even." stated Emma following in behind her. She gives a nod to Casey after passing him. "Thank you, John."
"Ma'am." Casey closes the door then makes his way passed Molly who he gives a clear but faint grunt to.
In response, Molly returns a grunt of her own that results in a noticeable smirk on Casey's face as he hands Sarah the cup of coffee. "Here. 2 sugars and a hint of syrup."
"How?" Sarah suddenly stops herself once she takes the cup of coffee from him. "Right. You make it your business to know." she added shaking her head.
"You're catching on Walker."
"What else do you know?"
"A lot. My eyes and ears are always open to anything that remotely is or about to go down." Casey informed his blonde boss in charge.
Sarah nods then quirks her right brow up at her mysterious partner. After takes a sip, she exhales a pleasurable sigh of relief. "I bet I know something you don't know."
"Like what?"
"I don't know like..." She gives a sideways glance in order to directly look at her partner. "...you have a girlfriend."
"Oh, how nice." stated Emma directing her attention to Casey.
Instantly, Casey expresses a noteworthy grunt leading his eyebrows to furrow. Upon hearing the word girlfriend, Molly not only jumps into the conversation but immediately approaches Casey looking straight up at him. "Who is she? What's her name? Is she pretty? Is she like you? Does she talk in grunts? Spill big guy or do I have to take drastic measures..." she quickly spitted out in one seemingly fast-talking motion. "...like waterboarding you!?"
Casey initial response is a mixture of perplexed confusion after being bombarded with some many question all at once. It's not long before he shakes his head then express another grunt peering down at her continuing to furrow his eyebrows toward the young girl. Unfortunately, she's not the type to back down from the experienced veteran. As a matter of fact, she crosses her arms and squints her eyes, furrows her eyebrows up at him, and gives off another grunt of her own towards the man who is clearly taller, older, and not to mention stronger than her. The stare down between the two would suddenly be interrupted by Emma pulling her fearlessly determined 13 year old daughter away from whatever potential calamity that may befall Molly.
While doing so, Casey sees the 13 year old point to her eyes then points to him as she's dragged back to the lounge area of Sarah's office. As for Emma, she knows in the back of her mind that John Casey wouldn't harm a hair on her head, knowing how he's looked out for a woman he's called his partner. A partner, he drove home and helped her inside after a fun night on the town with Ellie. While the matriarch of the Walker women deals with her feisty younger daughter, Casey deals with the older one still seated at her desk.
"Who told you?"
"I have my sources."
"Alex's mom Kathleen." stated Casey eyeing the Chief Operating Officer. "You did mention going to see Bartowski at his office a few days ago. She is after all Bartowski's office manager."
"Maybe..." shrugged Sarah in a coy manner. "...maybe not."
The two then engage in a discussion that results in the two of them bickering leading Emma to suddenly express laughter. This causes a now standing Sarah and Casey to turn towards Emma who is now by herself in the lounge area of the office. "What!? they both say in unison. The two briefly turning their attention to Molly who is standing at the window looking outside and below.
"You two sound like brother and sister."
"No, we don't!" Casey and Sarah once again responding in unison.
It's at the point, the two non-siblings stare at each other but the stare down with the older Walker sibling would suddenly be broken up by the sound of Molly's voice.
"So, is this Vivian chick here?"
"Don't know." shrugged Sarah. She plops herself down back in her desk chair and leans back a bit. A clear but faint audible groan expressed afterwards. "Don't really care either." she added with a hint of disdain in her voice.
"Do you want to talk about it sweetheart?" suggested Emma approaching her oldest daughter. "I know you and Chuck haven't talked in the past 2 days with all that's happened recently."
Upon saying that, Casey speaks up. "That's my cue to leave. Lady feelings are about to be shared." he growled. The head of security for Westside Medical Center turns around heading towards the office door. He opens it and is about to head out when he gets stopped.
"Casey! Wait up!" Molly called out quickly approaching the mammoth man. "Could you take me to Chuck? I think I saw him setting up for the Live YouTube show down there. Is it okay if I go Mom? Sis?"
Instantly, Casey expresses another grunt as he peers up looking towards Emma, non-verbally saying no to her. Instead, his attention is directed to Sarah who speaks up. "Eh..." shrugged Sarah indifferent to her little sister's request. "...Just don't get into trouble, brat." Her attention is then averted to her hulking partner. "If she gets hurt, I hurt you. Capeesh?" sternly warned the blonde, eyeing Casey in a threatening manner.
When it comes to Emma, she speaks up give her response to her younger daughter's request. "Only if..."
Unfortunately, Emma doesn't even finish her sentence as Molly makes a quick exit. "Thanks Mom!" However, before disappearing out of sight she grabs Casey by the left wrist and pulls him out the door to that ends up getting closed shut due to his left hand still clutching the door handle. It leaves Emma and Sarah in the office shaking their head in amusement at what they just witnessed with they own two eyes.

After stepping out of the elevator on to the first floor, Casey would find himself begrudgingly baby sitting Chief Walker's little sister. Fortunately for him, it wouldn't be for long, as he just has to make it to the entrance to courtyard and off she goes, he thinks to himself. Speaking of Sarah's little sister, she's eagerly following her "big brother" in order to see the man who she knows makes her sister happy, but her happiness is threatened by another woman. It's something that she feels needs to be immediately addressed she thinks to herself. As the two are heading towards the nurse's station, Molly suddenly notices a little girl much younger than herself happily running towards them. In that moment's she's fully expecting her non blood related sibling to take her down in some way, but what happens next completely takes her by surprise.
"Big buddy!" giggled the little girl. Her arms stretched out wide. The little girl reaches Casey, but suddenly stops a foot away from him. She stands there for a moment looking up at him and then lifts her right arm in order to do something. That something is salute the much taller mass of humanity. Molly then witnesses Casey do same exchanging a salute down to her. A grunt sounded off afterwards to which the little girl responds back with a faint grunt of her own. Once she does it, the tiny tike launches herself, or more particularly jumps into Casey's arms and seemingly disappears out of sight. Yet, she still hears the sound of giggles as she hears him faintly give off another grunt worthy response.
"Little buddy."
For Molly, the sudden change in Casey's entire demeanor floors the 13 year old teenager as she continues to watch him playfully interact with the little girl in question. Her attention is then averted to 2 people walking up dressed in white coats with blue scrubs underneath. They're presumably the little girls parents she thinks to herself.
"When she spotted you John, she just started running." Ellie smiles watching the interaction between her 6 year old daughter and the head of the security of the hospital.
"And man can she move. I'm thinking an awesome track star in the future, babe." proudly stated Devon.
Instantly, Molly's right brow arches up after hearing the word awesome coming from the guy who looks more like a male model than a doctor. "So, you're Captain Awesome." she announces, stepping forward making her presence known.
"And you are?" wondered the handsome heart surgeon.
"Chief Walker's little sister Molly." Casey chimed in while holding Clara upside down. The 6 year old giggling away without a care in the world.
"Hi Molly..." greeted the brunette extending her right hand. "...I'm Ellie. Chuck's older sister. This is my husband Devon." she added pointing over to him.
After shaking Ellie's hand, her attention is then directed to the man flashing a charming smile down towards her. "You are awesome." she faintly breathed. A growing smile proceeded afterwards. "Listen, can I ask a favor?"
It's at that point, Devon has a questionable look on his face as he momentarily looks at Ellie then turns his attention to Casey. He sees his eyes somewhat widen and then hears him express a grunt as if he's warning him about something but it's not really clear on why. So, the awesome husband and father crosses his arms and with a bit of hesitance returns her question with a question. "What's the favor? Is it kosher?"
While standing there, Molly shakes her had at the word kosher, having no idea what it means and too lazy at the moment to google it on her phone. Instead, she forges on as she has been given the perfect opportunity to ask something, once she found who Captain Awesome is after Chuck mentioned him to her. In her mind, she was fully expecting a big guy wrestler type dude like Dwayne Johnson, better known as The Rock. That, or some super hero in the comics like Superman, or quite possibly like Captain America wearing a uniform as well. She never expected, or fully prepared herself for that matter, that she would be standing in front of the man himself just after getting out of school. Despite that, she takes a deep breath and locks eyes with Devon as his wife Ellie along with Casey still holding Clara upside down look on.
"Could you be my date to Junior High Prom?"
Devon is left speechless not really knowing how to respond. His attention on Molly is quickly averted to his wife. All she does is raise both eyebrows at him. "Well..." she began staring at her husband. "...aren't you going to answer the young lady?"
In that instance, Devon leans over to his wife. "Honey, is this even legal? I'm not feeling awesome about this at all?"
"Just humor her Devon. Besides, she won't remember even asking you..." Ellie stops then turns to Molly in order to ask her a question. "When's your Junior High Prom? As I recall it should be at the end of the school year."
"Yes ma'am." nodded the precocious 13 year old. "In June."
"See..." Ellie leans back over and whispers to her husband. "...it's still early and you got till June. It's March so she could very well forget."
"I won't forget." voiced Molly.
It's at the point, Ellie and Devon turn to see Molly standing there now recording the conversation they're having with her phone. "So, what do you say, Captain Awesome?"
"Yeah Devon. You don't want to disappoint Chief Walker's sister now do you?" smirked Casey.
In that moment, Devon is put on an incredibly awkward spot. Eventually, he hangs his head then afterwards lifts up. "Is there a theme?"
"Twilight..." she answered. "Eclipse. The 3rd movie." she added.
"You can go shirtless and be Jacob." suggested Ellie clearly as a joke. "He's a werewolf."
"Yes! I like her idea." Molly excitedly responded.
"OR..." immediately chimed in Devon. "...or I'll do some research...with my wife here...you've met Ellie...and I'll get back to you. How about that Molly?" he awkwardly responded back.
"Cool..." nodded the young teenage girl. "...but don't keep me waiting long. It's slim pickings at the school I go to and the girls get to choose this year, from what I've been told." she explained further. "Do you want my digits?"
"Ummm, I'll let your sister Sarah know. Is that okay?"
"Awesome." grinned Molly lowering her phone. "Don't troll me or I'll be very salty." After saying that, she steps forward, but then stops. "Is Chuck that way?" she said pointing down the hall.
"What does that even mean?" wondered Devon shaking his head in absolute confusion.
Ellie glances behind her then gives her a response. "Mhmm." she responded, holding back laughter. "The next nurses' station you see, take a right. It will lead you to the courtyard. We were just there visiting him." the experienced neurologist shared. Meanwhile, Casey is busy with Clara who is climbing all over Casey as if he's her own personal jungle gym.
After hearing that, Molly takes off like a bolt of lighting with a considerable kick to her step, with a potential date for her junior high prom. In her mind, all the girls at her school are going to be jealous when they see who she'll walking in with on that awesome night, she thinks to herself. As she's lost in thought turning right at the nurses' station, she narrowly misses bumping into someone. Thankfully, she just brushes passed the person on her way to see Chuck in the courtyard outside. Unfortunately, the person she brushed passed is none other than Emmitt Milbarge.

"Good Golly..." bellowed Chuck in amusement.
Morgan immediately chimed in."...Miss Molly! You actually asked Awesome to junior high prom!? What did he say?" he asked shaking his head in utter disbelief.
Chuck and Morgan sit on the edge of a makeshift stage where the camera, as well as the laptop is set up. They are facing towards the main stage directly across from them, where a number of instruments are placed about in different areas. Although the blue bench won't be the focal point for Jeff and Lester performance, it will still be used as Casey, Tang, and Greta were able to put together a movable stage that would allow the camera to move from the blue bench to the stage located a few feet to the right. One of the conditions of their rider that Chuck and Sarah agreed to unbeknownst to them.
One of the other conditioners of their rider was to have pathway taped off leading to the stage in order to make their grand entrance. An entrance what would consist of having Morgan play the song from the band Europe's The Final Countdown when they were ready. Plus, they specifically asked for, and actually got, 2 golf carts for both men to ride separately in, which reading on paper was considered to be totally ridiculous. Unfortunately, Chuck wasn't informed what song that the 2 men, who were given 2 days off by Sarah, would be performing, which greatly worried the nerd.
"He said, he'll let my sister know. I did get video proof on my phone. Just to cover my bases."
"Smart. Well, I hope you pull it off. If..." Chuck stops to correct himself. "...when it happens. You'll have an awesome memory to look back on and story to tell when you're older." the nerdy business owner added. He reaches out for at fist tap.
Molly reciprocates the fist tap, adding once again the explosion at the end, which Chuck does as well. Sound effects and all.
"What's the theme of your Junior High Prom?" inquired Morgan.
"Twilight. The 3rd movie."
It's at the point, Chuck and Morgan burst into laughter after hearing that. It takes a while for the both men to calm down before Chuck continues on. As he wipes away the tears from his eyes, he speaks up. "Listen, does your school need volunteer chaperones? Please, say yes!" pleaded the youngest Bartowski sibling.
The 13 year old shakes her head at the seemingly odd request made by Chuck. As weird as it sounds, she refocuses her mind on her true intensions. "Chuck, what..."
Unfortunately, she doesn't get to finish what's she's about say when she's grabbed by the arm causing Chuck and Morgan to quickly react by standing up. "Emmitt!" the best friends bellowed out in unison. "What gives!?"
"Yeah..." growled Molly. She's able to rip her arm away and free herself from Emmitt's clutches. "...ya pedo! What gives dude!?" she angrily spitted out.
"First off, I am not a pedo. Do I even look like one?"
"Well..." Morgan responded titling his head from side to side.
Emmitt waves off his rival's best friend then continues on. "Secondly, this hooligan..." Emmitt stops in order to correct himself. "...juvenile delinquent accosted me in the hallway a while ago."
"I did not!" Molly immediately crosses arms and intensely furrows her eyebrows at the bald headed man standing in front of her. Afterwards, she leans back a bit to whisper something to Chuck and Morgan. "What does accosted mean?"
"Confronted aggressively?" questioned Chuck in a whisper.
"I thought it meant attacked." whispered Morgan as well.
"I'll google it." announced Molly taking out her phone. "How do you spell it?"
All three individuals are seemingly preoccupied in trying to figure out the right meaning of the word "accosted". Chuck and Morgan begin spelling out the word together as Molly types it into her phone. However, they wouldn't get the chance to know the meaning of the word because of an epic meltdown Emmitt is having right now.
"Enough! Enough! Enough! I am pressing charges on this juvenile." he firmly spewed out in disdain. "Where are your parents?" he snidely remarked.
"My Mom is upstairs."
"Are you sure you want you want to do that?" warned Morgan.
Instantly, the hospital's attorney quickly holds up his finger at Morgan. His attention is then averted to the man standing beside him. "Is this one of your Rockstar rebels Bartowski for this week? How..." He peers down at the girl who is giving the stink eye back up at him. "...sweet." he sarcastically added with a slight cringe expressed on his face."
"Emmitt..." Chuck holds up his hand. "...I don't think..."
"Shhhuhhhh Chuck." His attention doesn't leave the young girl as he bends down to meet her at eye level. While doing so, he retrieves his notepad and pen from his right front inner suit coat pocket. After flipping a few pages, he clicks his pen and prepares himself. "What is your name little girl?"
In that instance, Molly turns back to look up atChuck and Morgan who simply nod with noticeable grins on both their faces. She then gives off a shrug and returns her attention back to the guy who she thought was going to kidnap her in broad daylight. "Molly."
"Molly what?" he asked writing down her first name.
"Molly Walker."
"Molly Walk..." Emmitt suddenly stops writing when he starts realizing who the little girl is related to. He immediately stands straight up and his whole demeanor suddenly shifts to where his aggressive behavior completely vanishes. "You're Chief Walker's sister?"
Almost immediately Molly realizes why Chuck and Morgan were grinning a few moments ago and the reason he thought she was one of Chuck's Rockstar rebels. It's at that point, a devilish smile appears on her face as she peers up at the man who accused her of accosting him in the hallway. "I can call her and tell her I got in trouble for accosting you. What was your name again?" she asked bringing up Sarah's number on her phone." she added, pretending show a mixture of fear, worry, and disappointment.
"Emmitt." Chuck and Morgan said out loud in unison. Both men snickering afterwards.
"Wait!" He frantically said waving both hands like a crazed lunatic in front of her. "I may have mistakenly thought you accosted me. You didn't even come close to it as I recall. Nope, you didn't. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused you." He stammered out while backing up slowly. Emmitt stumbles back a bit as he takes several attempts putting his notepad and pen back in the inside front pocket of his suit coat. "Oh, if you happen to see your sister, Chief Walker, tell her I said hi." Upon saying that, he quickly turns around and fast walks towards the entrance leading Molly to turn around. When she does, she raises both her fists up to Chuck and Morgan. The two men exchange fist taps with her ending with all 3 doing the explosion. Sound effects and all.
It's at the point, Molly notices Chuck's attention is focused on something behind her. When she turns around, she sees it's not something but someone. Two people to be exact. An older guy and a woman who she believes is the woman that is causing trouble for her big sister. "Vivian." she breathes out. The 13 year old teenager eyes the woman in question walking towards them.

"I was able to get a chance to watch some of the past shows Chuck. Very impressive." nodded Vivian giving a wink towards Chuck. "I'm looking forward to what's in store soon." she added with a soft smile.
"Vivian's right. Smashing success in what you've been able to do, my boy. Stephen would be most proud of you." Hartley proudly stated. He reaches over to squeeze Chuck's right shoulder then pat him a couple times on it afterwards. "The excitement, and anticipation, is killing me. I am overjoyed."
Chuck ducks his head a bit after receiving the compliments given by Vivian and Hartley. He gives a quick shrug of his shoulders then motions over to his best friend stand
next to him. "I can't take all the credit. Morgan here is the one here making me look good doing his magic behind the camera."
"Then you, kind sir, deserve this." Vivian responded, stepping forward. She then leans over to plant a soft kiss on the side of Morgan's cheek. Afterwards, the sound of a clearing throat is heard from all 5 individuals leading them to turn to the source.
"Alex!" waved Morgan quickly turning to face her. Instantly, he steps towards her then makes a quick U-turn to stand beside her. "Alex, this is Hartley Winterbottom and his daughter Vivian." he firmly reiterated. Upon saying that, Alex turns to Morgan who locks eyes with him and nonverbally communicate with each other in a matter of seconds with nods, as well as facial expressions.
As introductions are exchanged between Alex, Vivian and Hartley, Molly stands there silently observing what is going on. She's been mainly focused on Vivian the whole time. What didn't sit well with her was the way Vivian winked at Chuck knowing full well how her sister feels for the nerd. In her mind, she's stepping on holy nerdy ground and if she doesn't watch herself she'll lose her head at the hands of a teenage highlander but without immortality, not from the highlands of Scotland, and the fact she doesn't carry a sword. However, what she does carry is 85 pounds of pure grit, bold determination, fiery, tenacious, and stubbornly headstrong young girl all contained within a 5 foot frame.
While standing there next to Chuck, she can't help but be territorial when it comes to protecting a guy who could potentially be her future brother-in-law. Her 2nd brother being that Casey is considered part of the Walker family not by his choice, which leads her to express a hint of a smirk after thinking that. In any case, she knows she has to do everything in her power to thwart Vivian from physically interacting with Chuck, without actually letting her sister Sarah know she's helping her outright. The 13 year old knows, she has to be devious, discreet, and most of all look completely unaware of what's going on. So, basically do what she does normally on any given day she thinks to herself. In her mind, Operation V Block is now in full effect even though she's working on the fly.
"Hi Vivian" smiled Molly. "I'm Sarah's sister Molly." she added extending her hand for a handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Molly." responded Vivian reciprocating the handshake back. "My, aren't you cute as a bug's ear. Isn't she, father?"
Instantly, Molly quirks her right brow at what Vivian said. She's about to say something when her father speaks up. "Yes, just like Emilia Clarke, who I just read will be cast in the new HBO series Game of Thrones starting 2011 next year, I would say. She'll be portraying the Mother of Dragons." he retorted tilting his head back and forth. "Yes. Definitely Emilia."
"Khaleesi!? She's my favorite character from Game of Thrones books. Not old enough to see the series yet, according to my Mom. Stinks." In that moment, as much as she likes Vivian's father for having great taste in one of the best book series around, she's still dead set on stopping whatever plans Vivian has for Chuck. Her thoughts concerning her sister's rival is subsequently turned to Chuck.
"I see it..." nodded Chuck. "...kind of. The books are awesome. A storm of Storm of Swords is my favorite. Morg?"
Morgan squints his eyes and takes a moment to weigh in on the matter. After a few seconds, he speaks up. "I say she's more Arya Stark than Khaleesi. Oh, and A Dance of Dragons is my favorite."
As the adults discuss the new series coming out relating to the books written by George R.R. Martin, Molly's attention is suddenly focused on someone walking in their direction. It's not just any someone. Her sister Sarah along with her mother walking beside her. In that moment, she formulates a plan and does it in a way that will allow Sarah to have some one on one time with Chuck. "It's about time you guys showed up! What took you so long!? she shouted out.
"I had stuff to do to brat! I'm the boss you know!" she shouted back.
Molly's attention immediately turns to Chuck, who he notices has a smile on his face once he sees her sister. She then watches Chuck head over to her and thus begins Operation V Block. Step 1 Distraction. In that moment, she zeros on something on Vivian's person to get a conversation going, in order for her to look from Chuck's location to right at her. After a few seconds of searching, she finally spots it. "Hey Vivian, that's a pretty necklace you got there around your neck."
"Oh this." She said peering down at it then lifting it up with her right hand. "It's my father's grandmother's necklace. It's special to me."
"My mum's mum. Vivian's named after her." Hartley softy said with a smile.
Molly smiles in response. "Tell me about her. Is she still alive?"
Vivian shakes her head." She lived in Somerset and..."
As Molly has Vivian distracted, Chuck is left to talk to her sister who haven't talk one another in the past 2 days. That's seemingly forever for a 13 year old. While still half listening to what Vivian is sharing with her about the necklace belonging to her great-granny, she briefly glances over to where Chuck is and she can clearly see not only a smile on Sarah's face, but also hears her laughing as well. Mission accomplished so far, she thinks to herself. Unfortunately, she knows that she can't be there all the time, so she has to make do with the time she has today to enact Operation V Block.
