Grammar issues again.

Which would be correct?

This one: I made sure that she was no where in sight and made sure that Dr. Garcia was preoccupied with what he was doing before I threw my legs over the side of the bed and walked over to Benny.

"And exactly what did you see?" He asked.

When to capitalize words like, Mom, Dad, North, South, etc., etc.

Thanks in advanced!
