<span style="text-decoration: underline"><div style="text-align: center;">Carol Winston - The Investigative Reporter</div></span><br/><br/>Carol smiled at Alexandra, glad the other woman didn't have a problem with her being late. Carol didn't like to be late but sometimes you couldn't avoid. Especially if it meant she helped prevent some kids from having the same life she and her brother had lived. She hoped Trax got his cousin and her kids far away from Los Angeles and that poor excuse of a man. She saw that the Rookie was hard at work getting everyone's drink orders. She waved that she didn't need anything. Instead, she gave Alexandra, their new director, her full attention.<br/><br/>Old man Silverman had always been good to her. When Carol decided that Oakland needed to become a part of her past, he had helped her get on her feet. Establish herself here and make good use of her skills.She had been a single woman struggling to make it and he had helped her out. She wouldn't be where she was without that man. Carol wouldn't be able to help people like Trax's cousin if Silverman hadn't helped her first. She had been upset when she found out he died. More upset then she would ever be the day she found out her father was dead.<br/><br/>It didn't surprise Carol what the other members of the Agency were saying. This group, it was like a family. Sure some people got along better then others, but in the end, everyone had each other's back. Which was what a family did. Not that much different then the family Billy had found for him and her with the OMC.<br/><br/>"You dad always had my back and I got yours. Count me in."<br/><br/>Carol told Alexandra with a smile. Where ever it led, she wanted to find out the truth. Whether it was foul play or all the years of drinking and smoking had caught up on him too fast. After everything Silverman had done for her in the past, he definitely deserved the truth about his death to be known.
