Jennifer watched in fascination as Brady went from angry defender to charming night at the faintest whisper of her little sister's voice, but it happened so quickly. One minute Brady was charging off after Philip and then Chloe was calling his name and his was running toward her room. Unfortunately the trouble wasn't over because she looked toward the door and found her brother Lucas sneaking off.

"Lucas, where are you going?" Jennifer's question brought Luca's location to the attention of her grandmother who looked at him reprovingly. Thankfully he at least had the decency to look guilty.

"I was just going home." Alice Horton stands and looks at her grandson with a look of disbelief clearly on her face. "I was."

"Without saying goodbye to Chloe." Jennifer walked towards her brother and pulled him to some seats near by. "Lucas, I know you want to protect Chloe, and you are doing a great job as her big brother, but don't go over there and try to hurt Philip, remember that he's your brother too, and that he was already punished for his behavior."

"I was just going to tell Victor to keep him away from Chloe." He remembers what Chloe told him about honesty, and he grimaces. "Okay, I was going to hit him."

"That wouldn't be a good idea Lucas, Victor may like you, but attacking Philip will only make you his enemy." Lucas looks up to see Mickey coming toward him with Maggie following behind. "Stay away form him." He pats the younger man on the shoulder. "We're going to go and take your Grandmother home, I don't want to have to come bail you out Lucas."  

The bulk of the Horton's left quickly followed by the Brady's and the Black, leaving mostly teens behind, except for Jennifer, Lucas, and Greta.

Examination Room 1

"Brady." Chloe had heard the commotion and the screaming, and she knew that Brady had probably had tried to follow Philip, but she couldn't let him get into trouble for trying to protect her.

Brady walked into the room with a smile on his face, and just looking at him she knew he had hit Philip. "Hey Diva, how are you?"

"Brady don't go after Philip." He gives her his most innocent look " I know you Brady."

"Diva, I'm not leaving your side until I'm kicked out." He takes her hand and kisses it. "Now, what tape did you see?"

Chloe grimaces. "That date with Cynthia, didn't end as innocently as he suggested, and Cynthia had the proof. "

Brady kisses the delicate that he's holding. "I'm sorry Diva." He smoothes some hair off her forehead. "I know you cared about him."

Chloe smiles "Don't feel bad, I watched the tape and didn't feel a thing." "You were right, I didn't love Philip."

Brady moves to kiss her cheek, and smile at her. "Don't worry Chloe your prince will come."

Chloe looks at Brady with love in her eyes, knowing that he already arrived.

Salem University Hospital ER

"Hey Lucas." Lucas turns is surprised to find himself looking at Greta, although he knew she came back form Vegas, he didn't think he would see her without Jack Davereau.

"Hi, Greta, I didn't know you were back from Vegas." She frowns and he kicks himself for hurting her. "Oh, great I screwed up again didn't I?"

She gives him a weak smile. "No, I just learned something about a friend that I really didn't want to find out."

"Austin." He touches her shoulder and tried to ignore the fire that spreads through his body at the faintest touch. "I love my brother, but let's face it the man dense, to let you get away."  

"Thanks, but I was long over Austin, and am now getting my heart broken by new guys." She smiles at him like the way the warm feeling that his touch brings her, and remembers that she always liked being around Lucas.

Lucas stands and starts flexing. "Just tell me who, and their mince meat." She laughs at his antics. "I'm serious, I'll take this tasteless loser on and beat some sense into him." They both laugh and neither notices Jennifer coming up to them.

"Did I miss something?" Lucas wiggles his eyebrows at the princess sending her into another fit of laughter.

"No, your charming brother is just trying to cheer me up."

"Well, Lucas such you're such good company do you think you could take Great home, I want to stay and talk to Chloe, and I may have a await since she' in there with Brady."

"Sure." Lucas remembers the rest of her statement and turns to look at his sister with concern. "Do I have to watch out for Brady now?"

Greta smiles at the concern Lucas has for Chloe and decides to set his mind at rest. "No, Brady is a good guy, I don't think he would hurt Chloe for the world."

"Well, now that that is settled, Greta do you still have the spare key?" At her nod Jennifer leans down and kisses her brothers cheek. "Keep him out of trouble."

"Sure she will, give Chloe and Brady my best." Lucas stands and lends Greta his arm as he leads her out the door.

Jennifer watches the couple leaves with frank interest as Julie-type thoughts run through her mind.

"They are kind of cute together aren't they?" Jennifer turns to find herself face to face with Belle and Mimi wearing a similar expression. She raises her eyebrow at them, and Belle goes on. "I've noticed how often Greta gets the short end of the stick with guys and the last few times, it's been one of my family members handing it to her, and yet she still goes out of her way to help Brady ad Chloe."

Mimi nods her head. "Yup, Princess is a class act."

"Yeah, I think so too." She looks at her watch and notices how late it is. "How are you two getting home, do you need a ride."

Belle shakes her head. "No, we're going to drag Brady away from soon, just to make sure that he doesn't try and visit Philip."  

Jennifer looks behind the girls to see Brady leaving the Chloe's room. He spots them and begins walking toward them. "Hey, Jennifer."

"Hi, Brady, how is she?"

"Diva's fine, she's still up if you want to see her."

"Yeah, I think I'll do that, bye Guys." The teens say goodbye and begin walking toward the exit, but Brady stops to look back at Chloe's room.

"Brady, she'll be okay." He faces Belle and sees her knowing look. "Come on."

Examination Room 1

"Hey, Chloe you up for a visitor?" Hearing Jennifer's voice Chloe looks up and nods.

"Sure, come in."

Jennifer sits down and looks at her sister although paler then normal, she is still beautiful and she even began to see a resemblance between her and Lucas. "Chloe I want to be honest with you." "My father told me about you in Africa, and I was going to tell you, but then I came home and you seemed so close to Craig, and I thought that it would e cruel to take that away form you just to leave you with a man that never calls and rarely visits." She looks at the stunned look on the girls face, and moves to leave. "I know you don't want to speak to me again, because I lied to you, I understand."

"Stop." Jennifer looks at her sister with a look that can only be called confusion. "I understand, I did a lot of terrible things to my mother to try to get her to tell me who my father was, and when she told me I felt sad." "Don't get me wrong, I like being a member of your family, but I felt like I lost Craig, and I realized that I had had a father for the last two years." " You were trying to protect me, and I appreciate that, but I'll tell you the something I told Lucas." "All I need is for you to be here and be honest, if you can do that then we can try to do this whole sister thing?"

Jennifer smiles and walks over to kiss Chloe on the cheek. "I think I can do that, and I know I would like a sister."

Red Wolf Private Jet

"Boss, Chloe Lane was admitted about an hour ago."

Mackenzie stops staring out of the window and looks at O'Neil. "What happened?"

"That Kiriakis kid knocked her down, Wesley admitted her early as a precaution."

Mackenzie's gaze returns to the window. "That's the second time Kiriakis has caused an alert, get me a file on him and his father, have a someone shadow him, and tell Lane's guard they are to intervene whenever that kid is within twenty feet of her."  

"Boss, we're about to land."

"Is the doctor standing by."

"Yeah, all ready to go."

"Good."
