In Wiggletown, Sam, Jill and Andy were at the scene of Calvin's destroyed car.

"This is outrageous! Idina is hardly a year and a half old and she went joy riding?" said Sam.

"Why is a one-year-old driving Calvin's car?" said Andy.

"Officer, my customers are the victims here!" said Mr Carmichael.

"How was she able to hit every parking meter on the street?" said Sam.

"I can't explain that, Sam. I was doing my showing and suddenly, there goes my car. It's on the curb, and boom boom boom! Every meter gets knocked down" said Calvin.

"Better yet... how did she reach the pedals?" said Jill.

"Listen! I didn't know Chad's kids were this precocious!" Calvin shouted.

"Well, they are! Sarge, the kid went joy riding and almost destroyed my property! I don't think she left a speck of paint on that car! I want that little banshee arrested!" Mr Carmichael yelled.

Idina was really crying just listening to the argument.

"Sam, we need to get Meg back into that apartment" said Calvin.

"It's only the first day after the operation. And the Warriors never give up" said Sam.

"Sam. This baby just wrecked my car and my boss wants her arrested when we're supposed to be caring for her" said Calvin.

"I get it, Cal, but we've yet to hear from the Misses" said Sam.

As she said that, her flip-phone rang. 

"Maybe that's them now" said Calvin.

Sam looked who it was. "Oh no; it's Chad. I can't talk to him now."

"Just cover it" said Calvin.

Sam picked up her phone and said "Nice to hear from you, Chad," in an awkward tone.

"Same to you, Sam" said Chad.

"How you feeling?" said Sam.

"Trying to hold up. I had chills all last night and now I'm feeling a bellyache set in" said Chad.

"Gawrsh! You upset?" said Sam.

"A little. Have you heard from the Misses yet?" said Chad.

"Nope. But by god would that be nice" said Sam.

Now Chad was getting worried. "Sam? Are you alright?"

"What? I'm fine. Just stuff going on at work" said Sam.

"You're at work? Where are the girls?" said Chad.

"Charles Wallace has Kristen in the studio. Calvin's got Idina at Carmichael's" Sam covered. 

"Are they alright?"

"Sure! They're just... peachy" said Sam.

"The truth?" said Chad.

"Yeah sure. I gotta go" said Sam.

She hung up the phone and heaved a big sigh.

"I wonder if he suspects" said Calvin.

"I hope not" said Sam.
