When Elisa woke up, she was hoping it would still be night, but the sun was up. Then she saw a box next to her bed. She used her good arm to open it and saw a beautiful amulet in it. She was stunned by how beautiful it was. She assumed it was from Goliath. Then Fox came in to see her.
"Elisa, how are you feeling?" Fox asked.
"I'll be fine, apart from my arm, I'm well rested. Having the day off work would really help me." Elisa said.
"Well, Goliath insisted that you have the day off today, so David arranged it so that you have the next 3 days off." Fox said.
"Well, I could use the time off." Elisa said. Then Fox noticed the amulet.
"Wow that is beautiful. Who got it for you?" Fox said, picking it up and looking at it.
"It was there when I wake up, so I can only assume that Goliath left it for me." Elisa said. Then she took it from Fox and had a look at it. "There's something inscribed here. Domnea etana ZATHANDRA eladei prosciano freidona. I wonder what it means."
"Here, let me put it on you." Fox said. She put the necklace around Elisa's neck. "If Goliath got this for you, then he really has an eye for these things."
"I know, I love it." Elisa said. Then they heard Alex cry.
"Well, I hear my son calling me. I'll see you around here." Fox said. Then she left. Suddenly something came out of the amulet, a red vapour. There was an evil laugh then it went into Elisa. Her eyes glowed red and an evil smile crept over her face. Then her eyes returned to normal and she held her head in her good hand.
5 hours later and Elisa was suddenly feeling better. She was still in her sling when she got up. She raised her arm without thinking and it was feeling better. She got dressed when Fox came in.
"Oh do need help?" Fox asked, but Elisa was already dressed.
"No, I'm fine." Elisa said. Fox noticed Elisa's arm was moving fine and watched her take the sling and bandage off.
"I thought your shoulder was dislocated and fractured?" Fox asked curiously.
"I know, but I just got up and it started feeling better." Elisa said, moving it around in circles and felt nothing. "Well, I'm going to work."
"But you have the next few days off, why don't you enjoy it?" Fox said.
"No, really, I'll be fine. I need to get out of here. I'll be back for sunset." Elisa said. Then she walked away. Fox watched after her then Xanatos walked in.
"Where is Detective Maza?" Xanatos said.
"She just left." Fox said.
"Where?" Xanatos asked.
"She said she's going to work. Her arm was suddenly better." Fox said.
"That's not right. I promised Goliath she'd be off work for a few days." Xanatos said.
"She seemed adamant to go, and she said she'd be back before sunset." Fox said.
"I'll have the doctors look at her when she comes back." Xanatos said.
Elisa wasn't feeling like herself, but she felt better than ever. She walked into the precinct and went straight to Captain Chavez' office.
"Captain?" Elisa said, knocking on her door.
"Maza? I got a call From Mr Xanatos saying that you had an accident and would be out of commission for a few days!" Chavez said.
"What can I say? I'm feeling better. Look, if I was off for the day, I would go crazy." Elisa said.
"Alright, I'll give you the Westside today, I already assigned Bluestone another partner while you were supposed to be away, so you'll be working solo again." Chavez said.
"Thank you, Captain." Elisa said.
"And take it easy Maza." Chavez said. Then Elisa walked out. On her way out, she ran into Matt Bluestone, her partner.
"Hey partner, I thought you were going to be out for a few days?" Matt said.
"No, it was only a minor accident. You should know that it takes a lot to keep me down." Elisa said.
"Well, I'll see you around, I've been partnered with Thompson for the next few days." Matt said.
"I'll be fine, oh and the guys say hi." Elisa said. Then she walked off. Matt noticed there something not quite right about Elisa, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
