Sarah and the secret service guys decided to stop at the bar and have a beer – of course the SS guys drank soft drinks. Sarah had a frosty Corona. It was nice to relax for a moment and sip a cold beer – but now a siren intruded. It grew louder and then stopped, it seemed to stop at the hotel. After a few minutes, Pat asked the bartender what was going on. Apparently, a child was out on a ledge on the eighth floor. A fire truck was raising a ladder, but it was not going to reach the petrified child, it could only reach the sixth floor.
Using the excuse of wanting to distance herself from a growing crowd, Sarah quickly went back to her room. She changed into Mighty Mom and flew up from her third-floor room. The toddler was crying and flat against the side of the building, afraid to take a step. The little girl was about three or four and was screaming for her mother. MM scooped up the child and floated down to the ground. A wide-eyed paramedic took the little girl to the emergency vehicle to calm her.
Before anyone could respond, MM flew back up to the eighth floor to see how the child got out of the window. Windows at that height were supposed to be fixed and shouldn’t open. There, she found the window broken out and a woman slumped on a bed. Shaking her didn’t work; she was unresponsive. Mighty Mom picked her up and flew back down to the EMT vehicle. They took over and immediately started checking vital signs.
Mighty Mom was inundated by the crowd, they thanked her profusely and touched her – they couldn’t believe what they’d witnessed - a flying masked woman with superhuman strength (and wearing a snappy red, white, and blue frock), they were flabbergasted.
The Caped Mom freed herself from the throng and flew back into the open window of the eighth floor. From there, she could sneak back to her window when fewer people were paying attention. Again, she felt happy and proud that she’d save a child’s life and perhaps a mom’s life as well.
Just as she had changed back to Sarah clothes, a knock on her door startled her. Looking through the peephole, she saw it was Chuck. She opened the door and he said, “You didn’t answer your phone and Sen. McCain has been trying to reach you.” “Oh, I unplugged it so I could take a nap without being disturbed. I’ll call him right now.”
The Senator wanted to meet for dinner and discuss the plans for a rally tomorrow. They met at the hotel restaurant called “Hillary’s.” They joked about needing food tasters, but decided to take a chance. Again, it was reassuring to see that John’s heart and mind were clean, without subterfuge – she could trust him. His security detail and his chief of staff, Cary Okie were also “clean.” Sarah told the Senator about her planned interview with Keith Olbermann. Okie immediately objected, but relented when Sarah convinced him that she could handle Olbermann. The interview was tentatively scheduled for 2 PM after the rally tomorrow.
