In Frank's office he and Elaina were listening to the music Cody had put on. "Don't you think we should put on a slight floor show in front of the window, so they think you're actually mad at me?"
"What do you have in mind?" Frank asked.
"Well, I could throw you out the window or door. Slap you in the face." Elaina giggled.
"Why am I the one that gets hurt? I'm supposed to be angry at you." Frank looked at her.
"I was wondering, if you were paying attention." Elaina giggled. "Ok, then lets have it out."
"No hitting," Frank insisted.
"Wimp." Elaina laughed.

"They're awfully quite up there even with the music on, I'd think we'd at least see something going on," Cody said watching the window.
"What's with the music?" Alex said, loudly as she and Jake arrived with the food.
"Frank and Elaina are at it again," Monica told them.
"Good Lord what happened now?" Jake asked.
"Seems Elaina has been hiding a drug problem from him," Travis explained.
"You're kidding, right?" Jake asked, looking up to the window as papers go flying by the window.
"Well, looks like it's heating up more, she's throwing things," Monica observed.
"Should be about time for Frank to…yep there he goes down. Elaina got him again," Cody said doing play-by-play.
*****
"Ok that's enough of that," Frank said getting up.
"You fell pretty good, considering I never touched you." Elaina giggled.
"I've had plenty of practice from when you did hit me." Frank playfully smacked her face.
"You'll live. You better push me over by the window, so they see you defending yourself," Elaina told him.
*****
"Don't you think someone should break them up before they hurt each other?" Travis asked seeing Frank push Elaina to the window.
"Not if you value your life. They'll be ok," Monica said.
"He has her under control now," Cody said as he sees Frank handcuff Elaina. "They'll talk more peacefully now."
"Do all there fights end with him handcuffing her?" Annie asked.
"No, there are times when she ends up knocking Frank out or cuffing him." Jake laughed.
"You don't find that unprofessional for them to do that?" Annie asked.
"Not when you get to know them the way we do. We worry if they don't fight at least once a week," Cody told her.
*****
"So how long do we set up here with me handcuffed?" Elaina asked.
"I'll go down to get our food and answer their questions. You might want to say a few choice words as I go out. Just to make it look real."
"Be glad to. Let me think. What would I call you if I was really pissed at you?" Elaina asked with a smirk.
"I'm sure you'll think of something." Frank chuckled.
******
Frank opened the door and Elaina started yelling at him and calling him names. He quickly closed the door behind him. "I'm starving where is my food?" Frank asked, walking over to the team.
"Right here. Do you want Elaina's too?" Jake asked.
"She doesn't deserve it, but yeah I'll take it. I'll probably be wearing it before she gets done."
"Is she going to be ok?" Cody wondered.
"She'll be fine. We have some assignment changes for tonight. Jake you and I are going inside. Alex, Annie and Sab will be in the cars to follow any suspects. Cody, Monica and Elaina will be in the van."
"You're going to let her stay on the case with a drug addition problem?" Annie asked.
"She told me she hadn't taken anything for about a week. I'm going to take her for a blood test after we leave here and then I'll make any other decisions then."
"I really prefer to be outside," Jake said.
"So would I but under the circumstances, we have no other choice."
"Why don't you send Annie and Sab in together?" Jake offered.
"I made the assignment, that's final!" Frank insisted.
"Sabrina, I want to see you in my office as soon as you're done eating."
"While she's in there? I don't think so." Sab resisted. "I really don't want to see her right now."
"It was an order, Agent Kells. She won't say or do anything to you. I promise," Frank told her.
"Yes sir. I'll be there as soon as I finish," Sab answered.
"Don't take all afternoon, either." Frank walked up with the food.
*****
Sab went up to Frank's office. Cody still has the music playing so no one can hear, if they argue. "Hey there, nice bracelets," Sab said, shutting the door.
"Aren't they but they do clash with my tennis shoes, don't you think?" Elaina raised her feet up.
"Eh, maybe a little. They'd go better with the gray pumps you have," Sab stated, smiling.
"Excuse me ladies. You aren't in here to talk fashion," Frank interrupted them.
"So, how did it go with Annie? Are you two buddies now?" Elaina asked.
.
"I think we hit it off rather well," Sab told her.
"Why did you change the plans? Not that I care, it's just I like to have more notice," Elaina asked.
"Sorry, there wasn't time to tell you. I just wanted to keep Travis out of it as much as possible."
"You want her to get it from you and not Travis. I guess that's a better idea. Glad you thought of it." Elaina complemented her.
"Thanks. I've already put a bug in her car. I also plan to plant one on her somehow."
"I have a suggestion. Why don't you give her a piece of jewelry with a bug in it?" Frank told her.
"Thought of that but she might get suspicious, since we just became friends."
"All the more reason to," Elaina said. "Get something from Cody's collection carry it around. When she asks you about it, you can say that I gave it back to you. Tell her you gave it to me when we first became friends."
"Then what?"
"Geez, do I have to think of everything? Give it to her, tell her you don't want it," Elaina told her.
"You think she'd buy that?" Sab wondered.
"If you get something expensive looking, she'll take it," Frank told her.
"Okie dokie. Is there anything else I need to know or do?"
"As far as knowing yes, I've told Jake and Alex to keep this piece of evidence to ourselves for now." Elaina showed her the earring.
"Why do you want to keep it a secret?" Sab sounded confused.
"It doesn't look familiar to you? It did to us, so don't mention it to Annie or Travis," Frank ordered.
"Just keep in mind that we're at war. We can't talk in front of the others," Elaina stressed.
"I don't think that will be much of a problem, if you keep acting the way you were." Sab smirked.
"I plan to, just wait until we go out," Elaina said, taking the handcuff off.
"How did you do that?" Frank asked.
"You forget I have a key, too. I've been unlocked, since you went downstairs." Elaina smiled.
"Let's go put on the next act of our play, Ladies." Frank got up and took Elaina's arm.
Sab opened the door. "Don't let that bitch near me, she's libel to trip me down the stairs."
"If I'm a bitch, you're a slut. You slimy little traitor. You'll never be my friend again. I don't care if we're the last two people on earth, I'll never talk to you as a friend."
"I'd be happy if you didn't talk to me at all!" Sab yelled.
"I'm your superior. I have to talk to you to give orders!" Elaina yelled back.
"Will you two, shut the hell up. Get away from her, Sabrina," Frank yelled, finally.
"Yes sir. Just make sure you keep her away from me." Sab walked over to Cody.
"Everyone go home, get some sleep. We have another long night ahead of us. I want everyone to be on his or her best behavior. I don't want a repeat of the past couple of hours," Frank ordered as he took Elaina out.
"You really shouldn't talk that way to her. She'll get you transferred away from here and me," Cody warned Sab.
"She may not have the authority to do that much longer," Annie said.
"What do you mean?" Sab asked.
"Well, if she has a drug habit as you said, she'll be fired. I happen to know who's next in line for her job too," Annie said, coyly.
"Really who?" Cody wondered.
"You're looking at her," Annie boasted.
"Well, I guess I picked the right person to become friends with then." Sab smiled.
