"I did." Ty responded.

"And he said that this place simply isn't safe for a child. Especially one in such a... unique... situation." he told her, referring to how Lunet seemingly couldn't see. "Ah, right, questions about that, but later." he then muttered.

"Anyway, I said that I'd take her in, MYSELF." he stated.

"If it reduces the chance of her and her mother ever being reunited, I will do ANYTHING." he said further.

"That poor child has been through enough."

"He knows." Ty responded.

"He fully expects her to be here for a bit." he said further.

"But Lunet needs someone to take her in. She doesn't deserve to be out there on her own, and I don't have faith in the system that she'll be thrown into otherwise." he continued.

"But I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to take her in." he then said.

"I'd be a single parent working a job. And she's... blind. I don't know how well that'd work out."

"Thanks." he responded.

"...I suppose I could hire a sitter if need be..." he mumbled. "I've enough money. Been saving for a while..." he admitted.

"Because you have it tough enough with just Liv." he reasoned. "It'd be too much to ask YOU to take her in." he said further.

"But if we can't find anyone, I'LL do it." he stated.

"And I'll MAKE it work."

Ty paused when she mentioned a daycare wing.

"...that's... that's a good point." he said. "I'm... going to mention it to him." he told her. "And you say you know you're not the only one that needs to hire a sitter often." he went on.

"We both know Hal's a reasonable man. MORE than reasonable." he continued.

"If we can get a collection of signatures... maybe not a petition, per se, but a sheet of paper that shows the need for such a wing, then perhaps he can be persuaded to convert an underused area to a daycare centre." he said further.

"However, your other solution, at least for the time being, is one that I hope will work." he then stated.

"I will cover any and all additional costs for taking care of Lunet, of course, and she could really use a friend that's around her own age."

"Right." Ty responded.

"...actually, can you tell me people that would appreciate the daycare centre right now?" he asked. "Even if just a handful?" he asked further. "Might help to already have a few more names to give to him." he reasoned.

She nodded and did so, with Ty writing them down as she spoke.

"Cool." he said.

"Because Hal WILL make one. I just don't think he's ever been approached by enough people." he reasoned.

"He's nice, but still has bosses to justify costs to." he lamented.

Ty shook his head.

"Let her sleep." he said. "I think she deserves it." he told her.

"...she's been through a lot. And this recent experience was surely... traumatic, to understate it." he commented further, looking in the direction of the room that Lunet was inside.

"Blind..." he mumbled.

"Poor thing. No wonder the cult singled her out." he went on.

"I really hope her and Liv meet, and become good friends." he told her.

"It really isn't." Ty agreed.

"Anyway, I have things to sort out, so I'll let you get back to what you need to do, and then go back home." he told her.

"Thanks again for this." he said.

The next day, Lunet was still recovering, but was showing significant improvement already, which Angela was noting on one of the reports she was typing. Just then, her desk phone rang.

"Angela?" Hal said when she answered. "I would like to speak with you in my office ASAP." he told her.

"Does it have to be literally RIGHT NOW?" Angela asked in response.

"It's not an emergency, no." Hal replied. "However, please come to my office the moment you have the time." he stated.

"Yes." Hal responded.

"Agent King came to me recently. Said we could use a daycare centre here in the Unit." he told her.

"I know you've mentioned that to be in the past." he went on.

"Know anything about it?" he asked with a smirk.

"Gotten him on your side about this now?"

"THAT is neither here nor there." Hal told her immediately.

"You are now part of a committee to assist with something." he told her. When she looked confused, he went on.

"It seems there are at least 40 people working here that could use a daycare service." he commented. "From the messages, notes, and visits I've been receiving, anyway." he continued.

"So you and several other parents will help out in deciding what the daycare centre will look like, décor and furnishing and such." he went on.

"Because, effective immediately, one is being installed here."

"I'll make sure it's accessible whenever need be." Hal assured her.

"Which is to say, we can have someone ready to work there on the hours we're normally closed." he went on. "Someone to work off-hours, whether it be staying longer than planned, or super-late." he reasoned.

"The main hours will be an hour before we 'open', and an hour after we 'close'." he clarified.

"I'll work out those details as it's being built." he continued.

"If you know anyone that would be interested or qualified to work there, do let me know."
