Jake paced back and forth in the waiting room. The rest of the team was
sitting, as was Michelle, when a doctor walked up to them. Everyone but
Michelle walked up to him.
"How is he?" Alex quietly asked.
"He'll do fine. All he needs is some time to rest," the doctor told them.
"Good. Any idea when he'll be allowed to leave?" wondered Jake.
"If he does well, probably in a couple of days," the doctor replied. "That is if there's someone who'll make sure he doesn't do anything that'll hurt him even further."
Monica and Cody glanced back at Michelle, who gave a knowing smile. They walked up to her.
"So what're you going to do until Frank gets home?" asked Cody.
"You're asking me? Well, I'll probably have to wing it alone until he gets back," she replied. "I've been alone before only this time, I've actually got a place to stay."
"Michelle, stay with me until Frank gets better," offered Cody with a smile. "I honestly think that computer skill of yours could be improved upon. I'll help you if you want me to."
The teen was surprised as her eyes widened.
"Sure, I'd be glad to," she replied as she climbed to her feet.

A couple days later, Frank walked out of the hospital, Michelle by his side.
"I'm glad you weren't the one who was doing all this Mika," he told her as they climbed into the back of Jake's waiting car.
Michelle had Frank agree to let Jake drive them home, since he was unable to and Frank reluctantly did so.
"You already knew Frank, I simply showed you the way," Michelle replied. "Now I really hope the name of the 'Silent Stalker' is left behind me for good this time. I've had it for nearly two years and it's about time I got rid of it."
Jake didn't say a thing during the entire trip. He was happy that the two could try and live as a normal family again.
He dropped them off at their apartment and they headed inside. Frank sat down in the chair as Michelle leaned against the wall beside him.
"I see now that Jenna must've put those wallets in your bookbag at school. So what's going to happen now at school now that she's gotten herself in trouble?" wondered Frank.
"Jenna won't have the same status anymore since she tried to frame me. I've made friends since I changed and everyone in the school still fears me though they know I'm not stupid to do something like that," Michelle replied.
Frank gave a small smile.
"And you're going to have to teach me some Japanese," Frank told her.
Michelle nodded as she started to head towards her room. "Of course," she replied.
"One more thing," Frank called to her.
"Yes?" wondered Michelle.
"We should do something about your camera obsession. Cody said that your parents gave it to you?" he asked.
"Yes, they did. I cherish it everyday," she replied as she headed into her room.
"And of course, you've always got me," Frank called into her.
Michelle poked her head out of the door and raised her eyebrows.
"And I'm the one who'll take care of you when you're sick. Deal with it," she told him with a laugh.
Frank sighed as she went back into her room.
