"It's all taken care of." Andrew Reed finally tells his daughter a couple of weeks later.

He waited to make the announcement to make sure there would be no second thoughts or "acts of conscience" in relation to the Santa Barbara operation. He would keep an eye on the situation of course, and he had taken the necessary precautions to make sure that it couldn't be tracked directly back to him.

"Thank you daddy." Kay gives her dad a big hug before apologizing. "I'm sorry I couldn't do it myself."

"Sometimes things don't go as planned and you need a little help. You made a good deal of progress and that's what counts." He was encouraging and proud of her because she had almost pulled this off.

"So how is Shawn's friend working out?"

"He's fitting in just fine."

"I will admit I was worried about him and how he would adapt to the new environment."

"All it took was a little incentive and things are running smoothly." Kay reassures him. "Don't worry, we're keeping an eye on the two of them and if we have to…well you know, I'll take care of them."
