Nathan wraps a towel around his waist and goes to his door after hearing knocking. Swinging it open, he is surprised to see Nina standing there. Nina smiles, "Hey J." "Nina, what are you doing here?" he asks. "Uh, you told me once that I could stay with you, so here I am," she answers. She then realizes that he is wrapped in a bath towel. "Oh my goodness J., I didn't mean to interrupt, is Maxie here?," she asks while trying to get a look inside. "No she isn't," replies Nathan, "I was just about to jump in the shower, but come on in." He steps back opening the door wider so that his sister may enter. Pulling her rolling suitcase in after her, she stops in the middle of the room and turns to face Nathan. "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm moving in?" "The question did cross my mind," he answers. "Listen Nina, I want to hear all about it, but I'm standing here in this towel and feeling uncomfortable." "Oh yeah," says Nina, "go, go take your shower, I'm so sorry." Nathan heads to the bathroom, "I'll only be a couple of minutes." "Sure," says Nina. She hears the door close. She stands in her brothers tiny apartment over Kelly's diner. She breathes in deeply and walks around. Stopping at his dresser, she see's a framed picture of she and him, smiling brightly. She smiles to herself. Next to it, is another framed photo. It is of Nathan and Maxie. Nina studies Maxies face and just smirks. Then glancing at one more photo, she see's Madeline and Liesle standing side by side. No longer smiling, Nina looks at the two women and after a few seconds, she sticks her tongue out at them. "You are horrible people," she utters under her breath. "What was that?" asks Nathan. Nina had not noticed him exit the bathroom, his hair wet, wearing sweat pants and a PCPD t-shirt. She turns quickly, "Just looking at your photos," she answers, "um I'm not too fond of this one," she says pointing to the one of her mother and aunt. Nathan walks over to her and takes the photo from the dresser, "I know," he replies, "and if it will make you feel better, I'll just put it away while you stay." "No," says Nina, " this is your place, you don't have to change anything for me. It's just a picture, I can live with it." He smiles and sets the photo back on the dresser. He takes his sister by the hand and leads her to a tiny couch. "So tell me Nina, what happened? Where's Franco?" Nina rolls her eyes, "I left him. I left him because he thinks I took Avery. I told him I didn't. He actually believed what Aunt Liesle told him and showed him. He trusted her over me. Can you believe it? I have been such an idiot for thinking he cared and had my back." She is getting angry and excited. Nathan takes both her hands in his, "calm down Nina, it's okay, you're here and I'm sorry. I know you really care for Franco, although I don't get the attraction." "Care?, no nope, I don't care for him anymore. And as for being attracted to him, I mean, he is rather sexy." She shakes her head, "no, sexy and untrust worthy don't mix, no, it's so over." As his sister sits there trying to convince herself, Nathan can see and knows that she does still care for him, she isn't convincing him otherwise at all.

Back in his suite at the Metro Court, Franco sits alone. There he sits as overwhelming silence fills his head. The coffee table he had kicked still lays there on it's side. Finally snapping out of his gaze at nothing, he looks about the room. This all means nothing to me without Nina, he thinks to himself. Rising he goes to the wall safe hidden behind a gawdy hotel painting. Opening it, he retrieves the ELQ stock sheets. "What good are these without Nina to share them with?," he says this time speaking aloud. Going back to the couch, he looks them over. "Well, Franco one things for sure, you have to pay that blabber mouth Olivia." You can't stay with Scott, so it looks like you'll be living here all alone. I can use this time to get my shit together. Think Franco think. Who could have taken that kid? Where do I start?" He inhales deeply, "I'll get you back Nina, I will. But first things first." Rising, he returns to the safe putting the all stocks but one back. He heads for the door to the suite, "time to pay that jabber jaw Mama Celeste."

"Nina, everything is going to be alright." "I know it will J.," It just hurts." "I know" says Nathan, "and I want to apologize to you." "For what?" asks Nina. "For the time I went to question you after Avery disappeared. I really felt bad for doing that," he replies. "Yes that did hurt too," replies Nina, " I think that you could have handled that differently, like maybe sending some one else to question me." "You're right," says Nathan, "but at the time I thought you might feel more at ease talking to family, I didn't think it through very well, and I sure as hell shouldn't have listened to Franco." Nina smiles at her brother, "yeah, as for listening to him, that was a major boo boo, but for the rest, you were only doing your job, I forgive you." Nathan smiles at her in return, " thanks and speaking of jobs, I have to get to mine, I'm running late as it is." "Oh, I'm sorry for making you late," says Nina. "No it's fine," says Nathan as he jumps up and heads back to the bathroom to change. Emerging rather quickly, he goes to his sister. I'll be back later tonight. Make yourself at home and if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, okay?" He kisses her quickly on the cheek, grabs his gun holster and is out the door.

There Nina is, alone again. She heads over to the window of her brothers apartment. Staring out, thoughts of baby Avery got through her head. "Where are you sweet little thing?" Then her thoughts shift. She shuts her eyes tightly and shakes her head. But try as she might, she can't stop thinking of him. She can't stop thinking of Franco.
