All chapters/episodes have been written and are ready to post so updates will come quickly over the next few weeks while I am finishing up my very first chapter story! I'm very excited about it as it's a huge step for me :)

I would like to give a HUGE thank you to my BETA, Xyber116, for all her hard work and help with this and all of my stories! As always, I appreciate it very much!

Episode 1 - Pilot

Set during the part where Lizzie is with Beth at the zoo and the bomb in the backpack is about to go off.

He stood slightly behind one of the park's trees, just out of sight from Lizzie and the young girl in pink. Of course he would have been surprised had Lizzie noticed him. Her total focus was on the girl.

Lizzie. Elizabeth. She had surprised him today which, if he was being honest, that never happened. In his line of work surprises could and would get a man killed. He had prided himself on always being prepared. To always expect how a person would react. That's one of the ways he had been able to stay alive for the past twenty plus years.

However, if anyone could surprise him, it would be Lizzie. During all the years he had watched her, she surprised almost daily.

Just before he had passed out he remembered thinking what an amazing agent she was going to be. Smart, intuitive, clever, and resourceful. A little impulsive and had a terrible poker face but she'd grow out of that.

Just then the Ukrainian man ran up to the bench Lizzie and the child were sitting on. Red stayed hidden while watching the man work on the bomb. He knew his presence would only make the Ukrainian nervous.

He took his eyes off of the Ukrainian to watch Lizzie. He was too far away to be able to hear anything she was saying to the little girl. Beth was her name. Whatever Lizzie was saying though, seemed to be working as the little girl seemed to be perfectly calm.

She was smiling, nodding and even giggled at Lizzie. He watched as Lizzie rolled up her sleeve and showed Beth her scar. Beth immediately started to rub on it as Lizzie ran a hand down the back of her head.

Turning his focus back to the Ukrainian, he saw something had gone wrong. He was frowning and working even faster on the bomb and Lizzie was looking panicked and on the verge of tears.

Must have cut the wrong wire. Maybe I should have allowed the boys to evacuate the zoo and let the bomb go off. At least Lizzie would have been out of danger he thought with a frown.

He watched the man take a hold of his wire cutters and Lizzie rested her head against Beth's, hugging her tightly.

Red's held his breath as he watched the man move in almost slow motion, his heart beating wildly in his chest.

"UZASNY!"

Red heard the man shout out with a smile and it was then he exhaled his breath. That was way too close for comfort.

Standing up straight and about to come out from behind the tree, he watched as the Ukrainian man tossed all of his belongings into his bag, grabbed the bomb out from Beth's pink backpack, and give Lizzie a quick kiss on her forehead before he turned to run off.

Well I didn't tell him to do that, Red thought as he began walking to the two girls.

"Pesibo! Nos dash daisa!" Red said with a wave and smile. He watched the young man run until he was out of sight, hearing Lizzie go on about how that was a chemical bomb.

"Just consider the device as payment for his services," Red said turning to look at Lizzie. "He's fascinated by the thing. He certainly has more use for it than we do."

Before Lizzie could respond, he heard the sounds of the FBI coming up behind him. He struggled to not roll his eyes. No matter how long it's been, somethings never change he thought as he put his arms up behind his head, linking his fingers together.

As someone was cuffing him, he watched Lizzie sink down to the bench in relief. He smiled at her when she looked at him.

"We're going to make a great team!"

The End!
