Out of the Frying Pan...Into the Fire- Season 4, Episode 4
Prologue
''So...how is she?'' Oscar asked, joining the three men who were already watching Jaime run laps.
''Stubborn!''
''Persistent!''
''Exasperating!''
Back to her normal self already, Oscar thought to himself. He chuckled, ''Care to explain, gentlemen?''
Michael clicked the button on his stopwatch, made a note on the clipboard and motioned for Jaime to make another round of the track - then grimaced when she stuck out her tongue. He turned to Oscar. ''That is what I meant by 'stubborn'!''
''She calls me every day,'' Rudy put in, as explanation for 'persistent', ''wanting to know when I'll sign off that she's ready to go back to work. Or...to start training, since she's back at Square One.''
Michael nodded. ''And that's after I've already told her no, usually five minutes before she calls Rudy.''
''Chomping at the bit,'' Oscar noted. ''That's a good sign; an excellent sign. Steve - infuriating? Should I ask?''
''All of the above,'' Steve answered (still watching Jaime intently). ''Not to mention that she wants me to start training her 'informally', until the three of you give the official word.''
''Is that so?'' Oscar mused. ''Maybe it's time, then. Rudy...Michael...is she ready?''
Rudy nodded. ''Physically, she's doing very well. Not quite one hundred percent yet, but she's in great shape. Very strong recovery.''
''No lingering effects from the blood clot in her brain; we were fortunate it dissolved without surgery,'' Michael concluded. ''Mentally, she's sharp as a tack. And stubborn!''
''Persistent!''
''Exasperating...and amazing.''
Oscar smiled. ''Gentlemen, it sounds like the time has come to let our young lady get back to work!''
