Sophie looked oddly at the phone after Nate had hung up with them. She was angry that Nate had broken out of the rehab place with Parker and their mark, but it was helping them. Along with the fact that Nate was undoing all of her good work by simply going to a taco stand. She sighed and looked up at Eliot. "What?" She asked.
"You're not happy," Eliot replied quietly.
"He sounded focused on the phone," she replied. "The last time I talked to him, when he was in rehab, he was chaotic. He was all over the place and trying to focus. But it was helping him instead of him just giving into his vices."
"He's a drunk, Sophie," he said gently. "We all want to change that fact about Nate, but we can't."
"What if it could be changed, if he tried?" She asked though. "Why not fix him?"
"You knew that wasn't going to be your job," he pointed out to her.
"It is now," she said. "Considering that I'm the doctor in charge of him."
"On paper only," he pointed out. "You are not a real therapist."
"I don't care," she said. "I'm going to fix him."
"You can try, but the reason he sounds focused is because he had a drink," he pointed out. "And that is the only way he is going to be focused until he gets help himself. The first part of knowing you have a problem is to acknowledge it. He won't. So we work around it, like we have done in the past and we will do in the future."
"There is a way – we help him get revenge," she said. "I have a plan."
"One job at a time," he said. "When we're done, pitch it to all of us and we'll do it. Anything to get Nate better."
"Agreed," she said quietly as she walked out of the room, smiling to herself. Her plan was slowly going into action and soon she would have everything she wanted. Nate would be fixed and she would have both Davids.
