"And there is some question
about that," Alex added. She didn't like this woman. She reminded
Alex of something, but she wasn't sure what.
Derek nodded, remembering the
card and grinning "True. They might be... busy for a bit. But I'm
sure they'll make a token appearance at the function before dodging off
somewhere as per usual. They're there when we need them and that's what
counts."
He was talking about more than just the function but was
sure only Alex got that part, considering she knew the two as well if not better
than he did.
A family.
"So," he put the now empty mug down on the table and sat
back with a curious expression "What has you so intrigued with this little get
together to volunteer to help?"
And family looked after each other. Either this
woman truly volunteered or, after his little talk with Sloan the other night -
something he remembered most of - Sloan sent her to take a peek around.
Whichever the reason, it was obvious Anya Sherridan was more than must a helpful
hand; her own reasons or someone else's being the reason behind her appearance
here was yet to be determined.
He made a note to give ol' Sloan a call but for now, he
settled in casually and arched one brow, expression showing his interest in her
coming response.
