Darren did as he was told, "San Fran, isn't that far away from here and my brother still lives in the same city as them so,"

(Holy cow my ankle is swollen
Wow)

Tara nodded. "Are you happy here?" She asked suddenly.

(Why?)

"I love it here, it's a lot like home so not much of a change. But I love where I live and work,"

(I was playing cops and robbers with our guests and I kicked a broomstick into my left ankle running from my little brother(who, lol, is also 9……)

Tara nodded. "That's good." She leaned forward. "Take that exit." She said, pointing towards it.

(Lol)

Darren followed her directions silence filling the car.

Tara tapped her knee nervously. "Okay, right there." She said finally, pointing to the school. And, surprise surprise, an eight year old girl who looked similar to Tara was sitting on the front steps of the school, books out on the steps beside her.

"Is that her?" Darren eyed a smaller girl who looked to be doing homework.

"Yup." Tara said as she slid the car window down. "Sara! Over here!" Sara looked up, smiled, and shoved her books into her bag. She rapidly made her way down the steps to the car. "Hello! Late again I see." Sara said jokingly as she slid into the backseat.

"Hardy har very funny Sara." Tara answered. "Darren, this is my little sister Sara. Sara, this is one of my new colleges, Darren."
"Cool! Hey Darren." Sara said nonchalantly.

"Hey," Darren smiled, "Where to now?"

"Ahmm……..could we make a quick stop at Chipotle?" Tara asked. "If it's not too much to ask."

"No not at all," Darren laughed a bit at the request but drove there anyway.

"Why are you laughing?" Tara asked. "Abby and I are working until ten tonight, and I couldn't eat lunch today!" Tara defended. Sara giggled softly from the back.

"Like 10 PM?"

(How old is her sister?)

(Eight)
Tara nodded. "Yup."

"Will your sister have a place to go?"

"She usually just stays with us and plays with the dolphins or does her homework, and there are other kids who have to come too, so she's not alone. Our boss loves her, so it's not a problem to have her there. We're planning on making a hangout place for her and the other kids who stay at the reserve late, but haven't been able to make it yet." Tara explained as she looked for the nearest Chipotle.

Darren nodded, he would have offered to watch her but she was clearly taken care of, "Do you know where we're going?"

"Right over there." Tara replied, pointing. Suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up quickly. "Hello?" She waited a few seconds. "What do you mean?" …………… "Well, were is Sara supposed to go?" …………… "Yeah, well I guess I could try to find someone to watch her…..okay then." She put her phone down. "Sooo………..apparently Sara can't be with me tonight." Tara sighed.

"Why not? I can always watch her if you want," Darren said pulling into a parking spot.

"Ahhmm, it's a kind of long story. And are you sure?" Tara asked. "She can be a handful, and I don't want to ask too much of you."

"I have a niece and a nephew that are like children to me," He chuckled, "I'll be okay,"

Tara raised her eyebrow."You're sure?"

"Positive,"

Tara nodded. "Okay. Sound good to you Sara?" Sara nodded.
"Well then, my sister is all yours Darren. I wish you the best of luck." Tara teased as she opened the car door and got out. Sara quickly followed her.
"Race you to the doors." Sara said, eyes twinkling.
"Oh, you are SO on." Tara replied.
