Elaina and Frank arrived at HQ. Andy was there, talking to Alex and Monica.
"Hey, where is everyone? Don't they know they have work to do?" Frank said
as they walked in.
"Actually we don't have an assignment right now, since you found Maria," Alex said, as the door slammed shut.
"Elaina! Did you leave orders that I couldn't see Maria today?" Jake was angry.
"No! I didn't and you can change your tone of voice anytime now. Your mother is in charge of Maria. Allison called and told me that Maria didn't want me to be there for the test. I assume she must've told her she didn't want you there either."
"That isn't how she felt last night. When I got there this morning the nurse said there are no visitors allowed at all!" Jake yelled.
"She can change her mind Jake or she may have changed into her Miss Hyde personality as she calls it. Allison just didn't have time to tell you."
"She had time to call you," Jake countered.
"Did you check your messages this morning? Maybe she called and you were in the shower or already gone ever think of that?" Elaina was getting angry at his yelling.
Jake realized that he didn't check them. "No, I didn't check them. I'm sorry, you're probably right."
Cody and Sab arrived. "You're late again," Frank said to them. "What's the excuse this time?"
"I forgot I was to come back to work today." Sab laughed.
"What's wrong with Jake he looks a little ticked off? Cody observed.
"Maria has evidently changed her mind about having him with her during her tests today," Elaina answered.
"What tests is she having?" Sab asked.
"They are measuring the tumor so they know if it's growing and they're going to do more test to see if it's cancer. They wanted to give her a small amount of the medication they want to use to see if she has an allergic reaction to it. Maria is very sensitive to medications."
"That's about the only thing she's sensitive about," Sab stated.
"Sabrina! I know that you don't like her but you need to put that hatred to rest before it eats you alive. Maria told me she was sorry that she hurt you and Cody and that it wasn't the personality change that caused it, it was all her doing just as it was in the past."
"I'm never going to forgive her for what she did," Sab said.
"You may have to work with her in the future, if she should decide to come back to work. Will you be able to handle that?" Elaina asked.
"I will as long as she stays away from me and Cody," Sab insisted.
"Maria said some things to you about Cody and that was her personality change that caused her to say them. She and Cody were never lovers before he found her passed out."
"Cody explained all that to me. I believe him. We had a long revealing talk while you were gone, thanks to Derek."
"What did he do?" Elaina sounded exasperated.
"He shut the elevator down in my building with Cody and I stuck until we had it out. He just wanted us back together."
"My son is a romantic and a pain in the ass but I'm glad he did. At least now I don't have too." Elaina laughed.
"You would've done that to us?" Cody asked.
"Actually I had something else in mind but I'm not giving it away. I may have to use it in the future if you two have any other break ups." Elaina smiled and walked off to see Andy and Frank.
"I hope Maria recovers fully from this ordeal," Andy told Frank.
"I think she will in time," Frank said.
"Andy, let's give them the day off. We didn't expect to be back yet and we don't have anything too pressing to give them right now, so let them have today," Elaina suggested.
"Fine with me. I have one meeting today and then I'm going to meet Sam for a relaxing afternoon, myself."
"And who would be minding the store if I were still away?" Elaina smiled.
"You know that place runs itself most of the time. We're just there taking up space most of the day."
"Now Andy, I want to thank you for telling my husband that, because I had him convinced our job was very taxing and I hate all the problems I have to solve, day in and day out." Elaina laughed.
"Sorry. Let them loose I have to be going, nice to have you both back. Oh Elaina! Before I forget you'll have to be own your own at the office the first of the month I scheduled my 2-week vacation for then. I'm not telling you were I'm going either. And don't try to get me to move it either. Sam and I have already made plans and we aren't changing them for anyone," Andy told her.
"I knew this would happen sooner or later. I'm all for you and Sam having time together. I'll manage without you, if I have any problems, I'll just bring in Frank to yell at people while I solve them."
"That's sounds like a good plan. I'll see you all later. Bye."
"Bye Andy. Say hello from me to Sam." Elaina called out. "Ok everybody leave and don't come back until tomorrow morning and don't be late either. I'll have a case ready for you. Course I won't be here to give it to you but he will." Elaina said.
"Actually we don't have an assignment right now, since you found Maria," Alex said, as the door slammed shut.
"Elaina! Did you leave orders that I couldn't see Maria today?" Jake was angry.
