Emily was startled awake by a light rapping on her bedroom door and she groggily said for the person to come in. She still half asleep but she recognized the person to be Alice carrying a tray in her hands.

"You're grandfather thought you might like some breakfast." Alice said as she stood at the foot end of Emily's bed.

"Thanks Alice ...." Emily replied with a yawn.

Alice set the sliver tray down on the small desk and went to leave the room, allowing Emily to get up and eat the breakfast she had brought.

Emily waited till Alice had closed the door and then jumped from the bed and rushed to the desk to see what kind of breakfast Alice had brought. Emily lifted the silver dome lid from the tray and revealed a deliciously looking breakfast with blueberry pancakes and a few strips of bacon, plus a half of grapefruit. A glass of orange juice sat on the tray, fresh squeezed just like Emily liked it. "Grandfather thought of everything .." Emily said to herself and smiled.

Emily sat down at the desk, and picked apart the grapefruit with the fork, her face scrunched up when her taste buds were introduced to the fruit's nectar. She shivered as she swallowed and then laid down the fork, taking a sip of orange juice to wash it down. She thought the pancakes had to be better then the grapefruit, she thought and once she had forced herself to finish the entire stack of pancakes plus and bacon, she licked her lips and smiled. "Definitely better then the grapefruit." she chuckled to herself.

She cleared the desk of the silver tray and opened the desk drawer to find a pen. Inside the drawer staring up at her was a picture of her and Nikolas. She reached in and took it out of the drawer, gazing at it, she scolded herself for thinking what she was thinking. "It's over, Em! There's nothing no more, it's finished, you have to move on." She threw the picture back in the drawer and shut the drawer hard. She got up from the chair and went to the closet to find what she would be wearing. As she searched the closet for an outfit, the phone that sat on the desk began to ring.

Emily quickly went and answered it. "Hello ..."

"Hey Em, it's me." Elizabeth answered.

"Hey, how are you?" Emily asked as she pulled the cord as far it would go so she could find an outfit while talking with her friend on the phone.

"I'm doing fine, listen, Lucky and I wanted to know if you wanted to have breakfast with us at Kelly's?"

"Awe I just had breakfast, and I have an appointment this morning, but can I meet up with you guys for lunch?" Emily suggested.

"Okay, that sounds good. 1 o'clock?"

"That sounds fine, I'll meet up with you guys then.." Emily replied and hung up the phone just as she found the outfit she had been looking for.

Emily hopped in the shower and got dressed in a hurry, she was late.

Alexis walked into the PCPD squad room, looking like she certainly belonged there. Navy blue suit, white dress shirt and briefcase in hand, Alexis was ready for anything, even the unexpected. Ric walked in from the other direction and looked up from the folder he was reading, he noticed her and he approached.

"Morning, Ms. Davis." Ric greeted as he got closer.

"Alexis .. please." she replied ... "Morning." she quickly added.

"I guess the next thing to do is show you to your office." Ric replied and started to lead the way, he looked back and Alexis followed closely behind.

Ric led the way down the hallway to the elevator and pushed the button to go up. "So how long have you lived here?" Alexis asked trying to make chit chat will they waited for the elevator.

"Not long, a few years." Ric replied as the doors opened and he stepped inside.

Alexis stepped on and the elevator doors closed, Ric noticed seemed a bit rigid with him, not relaxed or at all comfortable. Alexis kept glancing over at Ric while the elevator went up, so did her heart rate. She hadn't had the chance to really see the man, and being in close quarters as they were, she was able to see how handsome he truly was, and it made her nervous.

Ric chuckled under his breath when he realized she was staring in his direction. He adjusted his tie and buttoned his jacket, just as the elevator doors slid open. Ric stepped out and Alexis followed him down the hallway towards the District Attorney's offices. Ric stopped at one of the open doors along the way and pointed inside to the large mahogany desk.

"I hope you'll be comfortable with this office." Ric said as he stepped inside and turned towards her, Alexis still standing in the doorway.

"Yeah, I'm sure it will be fine." She stepped in the office and went to set down her briefcase on the desk.

"You will have a clerk available to you, starting tomorrow. The office just hired two new recruits, high school students, graduating students, who wish to get some experience before going off to college."

Alexis wasn't listening to the words that came out of Ric's mouth, she was too busy exploring her new office. She sat down in the leather chair and popped open her brief case. Ric noticing she was doing just fine in settling in and turned to go.

"Um .. how is the case against .. Mr. Morgan?" Alexis asked quickly before Ric walked out.

Ric turned around quickly. "Morgan? He's still in lock up. He'll be there till he provides a credible alibi."

"And what about the charges standing against him?"

"Well, if he can't provide an alibi, then those charges will be added to even more, because then we can hold him on suspicion with probable cause. Right now we can hold him for 36 hours, and while we have him, we're out looking for that evidence we need."

"How close are we to having it?" Alexis asked.

"We're right now just concerned with the witness. It's been known to happen that witnesses involved in cases related to Corinthos or Morgan, suddenly get amnesia and don't remember a darn thing or they disappear completely. We don't want that happening this time. I believe the case file is in your inbox, you can look over it when you get the chance." Ric suggested as he pointed out to Alexis the inbox sitting on top of her desk.

"Thanks, I will certainly do that."

"I have a deposition to oversee, if you have any problems or questions, I'll be back in the office in a few hours."

"I think I can handle it." Alexis smirked.

"Okay, just making sure." Ric returned with a chuckle.

"I'm fine ..." Alexis replied and motioning to Ric he could leave her, she'll be okay without supervision.

Ric walked out the door, and Alexis shaking her head, watched him go. She sat down behind the mahogany desk and set her briefcase on the floor. She reached for the case file in her inbox, she had cases like this before, it wasn't the first time she held in her hand a high profile case like this one had the possibility of being.

As she sat reading over the file, she was interrupted by a light rap on the door. Alexis looked up and noticed a young lady standing in the doorway.

"May I help you?" Alexis asked as the young lady stepped into the office.

Alexis stood up and approached the young lady. "I'm ADA Alexis Davis ... you are?"

"Oh I'm sorry ...." the young lady apologized. "I'm Emily Quartermaine."
