After he had finished filling the report about what had happened in Turkey and how Dante had shot and killed Raj while he was trying to escape. Robert was called back Port Charles by Anna only to be sent to London by her. Now back again he wanted to get a hold of Anna, he had information for her but the messages from Anna were confusing and more of the reason he wanted to talk to her. He knew Alex was now in custody, Anna had told him that, he still thought the messages must have something to do with her. Being here would also give him a chance to check on Dante. Make sure he was adjusting, he knew that sometime these undercover assignments could be rough. The readjustment to their everyday life after extended time undercover could take a while.

When he got to Port Charles he had called Anna first, just to let her know he was in town. Of course, she didn't answer, she never does nowadays. So he decided to go see his brother. Mac was at the Floating Rib when Robert got there. "Hey, Robby, what brings you back here so soon?"

"I need to talk to Anna but like always she calls but doesn't pick up when I do."

"She's meeting Felicia here in a little while if that helps?" Mac told him as they sit down at a table together.

"Well sitting here having a drink with you and waiting for them is easier than trying to track her down."

"We don't get to spend enough time together when you do come to town so this will be nice."

"I should have time to visit this time around. How's that wonderful sister-in-law of mine? This Ryan Chamberlain mess couldn't have been easy on her."

"She's putting on a strong front and getting on with her life but at home, at night," Mac shook his head. "She's scared he's going to show up alive at any time. She told me she thinks he's now obsessed with Ava Jerome but that doesn't make it any easier for her to sleep at night and knowing Kevin is the one that brought him back here. He's one of my best friends and he brought that monster back here and didn't tell anyone."

"I heard he's been arrested."

"Yeah, as Ryan's accomplice, but I don't see that sticking. Aiding and abetting maybe, harbouring a criminal sure. The new DA is trying too hard to make a name for herself, she hasn't been able to get anything on Sonny or Jason and I think she's moving to fast with this again and it'll blow up in her face too."

"You don't sound like you have much faith left in the justice system."

"When I left the commissioner's office it was time. Too many criminals just kept walking away without paying for their crimes."

"I hear ya bro. I bring them in thinking there's an airtight case against them, next thing I know they're out on some technicality. Then six months later they want me to track down the same perp they just let walk. Look at what Obrecht has done to our family and she's still walking around a free woman."

Mac looked up at Robert, "If we keep talking about things like this I'm gonna need something a lot stronger than beer."

"Yeah, we should talk about something else, something a little less depressing. How about our grandsons?" Robert suggested with a grin.

"Now that I can talk about all day," Mac said smiling back.

...

Anna was rushing to meet Felicia on time, she knows she should return Robert's call but she'll make him wait, she knows he won't get that upset about it. She had wanted to talk to Finn a little longer but it seemed like he just wanted to be left alone. He had been so supportive when she got that letter from Griffin saying he had to leave town but now it's like he's pulling away a little. Finn has been a little different lately and she's not sure why. He had been so supportive about this memory mess with her sister, he was there for her and helped her get through that but now it's like he wants a little distance. If something is bothering him why doesn't he talk to her? She knows he said Chase is worried about his girlfriend, maybe whatever is going on with them just has Finn distracted and she's reading to much into this.

Anna sighed, she didn't have time to worry about that right now. Felicia is waiting and it sounded like she could really use a friend right now. Knowing Ryan Chamberlain was the killer and that he could have come after her at any time had been rather unsettling for her. As she walked into the Floating Rib she saw Mac Felicia and Robert all at the same time.

Robert and Mac stood up as Felicia got to their table, Robert took her in his arms and gave her a big hug, "Hi Princess."

Felicia leaned back in his arms, a tear in her eye. "I haven't heard that in years. Have you seen him lately?" Robert just nodded, she could see the sadness in his eyes. "How is he?"

"He has his good days and his bad days. He did ask me about you and Mac last time I was there, that was on one of his good days and we talked about a lot of the old times. It just made it hurt that much more the next day when he wasn't sure who I was."

"I'm sorry Robert, you and Sean were always so close."

"Even when I hated him I still loved the guy."

"Come here you," Anna said her hand on Robert's shoulder. He turned and she hugged him tightly, "I was talking to Tiffany a while ago she told me about your visit. About how hard that was for you."

"I stop in once in a while, he was a lot worse this last time," Robert told her still standing in each other's arms.

Anna saw the pain in Robert's eyes as he thought about it. "I need to go see them."

"Let me know when, I'll go with you," Robert offered.

She smiled up at him, they both had tears in their eyes. "I think I'd like that, thanks." She took a deep breath and they let go of each other.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Robert asked as they all took their seats.

"It can wait, it doesn't have to be tonight. Are you going to be here for a little while?"

"Yeah for a bit, I should have time to visit."

"Good, come by my place tomorrow, we'll talk then. Tonight I want to enjoy our evening." She smiles then turned to the other two at the table. "Felicia, it looks like the Scorpio boys have invited themselves into our evening."

"Oh gee, if you don't want us here," Mac said as he pretended to stand up.

"You stay where you are. When was the last time we were all together?" Felicia asked. "Besides this is the most secure I've felt since the truth about Ryan came out. The three of you are the best bodyguards I could ask for."

"It's settled, you stuck with us for the night," Robert said and they all laughed. "I'll get us a round of drinks." For the rest of the night, they didn't talk about Ryan or the threat that he could show up at any time alive. They didn't talk about Sean of the fact he was slowly slipping away. They didn't talk about what had been done to Anna by Dr Cabot and Alex. They talked about their families, they talked about old times and joked around having a good time. For one night it was nice to not think about the other stuff.

...

Finn knew that Alex was just trying to mess with him, trying to get into his head. That was clearly what she was good at. Telling him he wasn't enough for Anna, that he is just a nice distraction from her real life. He knew they were different people, from very different background with very different lives but he believed they had a future together. Well, he wanted to believe that. Finn was trying to not let that bother him but since hearing that it seemed like their day to day life was just taking them in different directions at the moment.

Anna had told him about wanting to go visit an old friend who is suffering from dementia last night. She had decided this after going out for the evening with Felicia. That she told him afterwards also included Mac and Robert. When Finn asked if Anna wanted him to go with her, she told him that it was something that she wanted to do on her own, then added that Robert was going with her. When he questioned that she made it sound like that was the most logical person to go with her. Then she told him that Mac and Felicia were going to go visit him as well, just not at the same time. Why was he hearing about Robert's involvement in Anna's plans as afterthoughts? As soon as the thought came into his mind he wondered if this is an example of what Alex meant? That he wasn't always going to be the person Anna needs with her. See Finn, that's what Alex wanted she wanted you to doubt your relationship, he told himself.

He had plans with Chase and wanted to talk to him. When they talked the other day it sounded like he was very worked up about something going on with Willow. Finn thought they were getting along, making progress with their relationship. Maybe it wasn't about their relationship at all. Finn figured thinking about someone else's problems for a while would be a good thing. Maybe it'll help take his mind off of what Alex had said before being taken into custody.
