Jake was driving to Sirone's when Cody said; "I hope it doesn't turn out to be Chris' uncle, because it will make our job harder."

"Whether it's Chris' uncle or not, her family is going to be involved for the simple fact that they're the controlling family." Jake said.

"Think she'll come here? She has always kept her life separate from the family." Cody said.

Monica answered, "She may not have a choice, if it is a mob hit her uncle might bring anyone close to him under full protection."

"If I didn't know better, I think you had the hots for her." Jake answered.

"Not to offend the ladies presented, she was fine looking in every way but I think someone else had staked his claim." Cody said.

"Smart boy, you picked up on that too." Jake said.

"How could one not, Monica, Alex what's your opinion?"

Monica said, "Yeah, there was definitely something there, what I don't know."

Alex said, "I agree with everyone, if she does come here, see how Frank reacts."

"If he did have a thing for or with her, he's moved on with Michelle." Jake answered.

"Has he?" Alex asked as they arrived at Sirone's.

Chris had to make some calls before she left town to make sure everything was taken care of. She called the Levys first.

"Hello." Michael said.

"Hey, it's Chris sorry to be calling so late."

"Is something wrong with Frankie?" He asked.

"No, I wanted to let you know that my uncle called me because there was a death in the family and he wants me to go to Chicago."

"I'm sorry. Do you want us to take care of Frankie while you're gone?"

"No, I don't know how long I'll be gone, I just need you to check on the house."

"What do you mean you don't know how long you're going to be gone?

Chris hesitated, "Ah, my cousin's husband was gunned down tonight. So I don't know what's going on?"

"You're nuts going up there then and double nuts for taking your son. You always made an extra effort to stay away from the side of the family."

"I know, but something in his voice told me I need to be there."

"Well, I know I'm not going to be able to talk you out of this so be careful and keep in touch. By the way are you going to take this opportunity to talk to Frankie's father?"

"I have a feeling our paths will cross but I can't guarantee anything right now."

"Ok, keep me in the loop and don't make me have to go to Chicago." He said jokingly

"Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior."

"That worries me, you're more dangerous when you're on your "best behavior."

"Ok, bye doc." She hung up before he could continue with his psychoanalysis of her.
