Nina found herself laying on the love seat in her office. Maya was standing there.
"What are you going to do?" Asked Maya.
Nina sat there a moment in silence, before speaking.
"I think I'm going to have a drink."
"I meant about this whole death thing!"
Nina swallowed hard.
" I don't know Maya."
"Well I do. I think you should go to my dad."
It was settled, she would see Jack.
Jack's office.
Jack was sitting at his desk going over some papers, when Nina walked in.
He looked up and smiled.
"Hello Nina! How was your vacation? come sit down and tell me all about it."
Nina sat in the chair opposite his desk.
"Well I'm still on it, or I was. Now I'm dead." Nina finished tearfully.
Jack scrunched up his face in confusion.
"Come again!"
"Today was Payday, So I made a point to come in and pick up my check.
Kevin didn't have it. So I went up to payroll, to find out what happened.
They said, I didn't have one. Due to the fact that I was dead.
For The love of God, I just went on vacation!"
Jack was even more confused.
"What!" Jack asked. Trying to take in what he just heard.
Nina thought He misunderstood her, and began to repeat it.
"Today was payday-"
Jack jumped in not wanting to hear it all over agin.
"No, I heard all that. What I meant was this is all rather strange..."
"Oh jack it's been a total nightmare!" Nina wailed. She is close to hysterics.
Elliot had been listening outside the door, decided to have a little fun himself.
He comes in, acting nonchalant.
"Sorry to interrupt Jack, but about the photo shoot-"
He does a theatrical double take at Nina.
"Nina, you're alive!" Elliot shouts.
Nina has finally broke, she turns on jack. .
"Oh my God!" She cries hysterically
Bullpen
Jack was standing next to Finch, who was at his station. Elliot and Maya were standing there too.
"So They Think Nina's dead?" Asked Finch.
"Apparently so." Jack concluded.
Maya, who had been sitting there listening. Finally spoke.
"It just doesn't add up."
Elliot looks around, he hadn't seen her for awhile.
"Hey where is Nina? I haven't seen her around for awhile."
Finch musters up his best Alfred Hitchcock tone and says
"It was a visit from beyond."
Jack knits his brows
"Dennis!"
Bullpen.
One week later.
They are sitting at the table, about to start their editorial meeting.
Jack is the first to speak.
"We'll start, just as soon as Nina gets here."
"Whenever She decides to drag her dead carcass in here." Finch retorted.
Everyone is looking at him sullenly.
"Somebody die or what?"
Jack's anger is slowly building and he turns on Finch.
"That's enough Dennis!"
Finally Nina arrives, she sits down.
She says smiling. "Sorry I'm late."
Finch can't keep it in, and laughs uncontrollably.
Nina fixes him with her coldest gaze.
"All right Dennis." Jack says a little more softly.
Then he tells Nina. " Don't worry Nina, we'll get this straightened out."
The phone rings, Finch answers it.
"Hello, you have reached the recently added wing of Blush. It's called the morgue."
He pushes a button.
"Jack, It's your wife."
Jack stands up, glaring at Finch.
"I'll take it in my office."
After he is gone. The four start talking.
Maya was the first to speak.
"You Know Nina, I don't know what I'd do, If I was in that situation.
I really don't."
"To me that would be really scary." Added Elliot
Nina addressed Maya and Elliot.
"It was scary for me. Don't tell anyone, but I hadn't cried like that, in years."
Finch couldn't resist, he told Nina in fake sincerity.
"Don't worry Nina, your secret is safe with me." Nina smiled. Then Finch added
"I'll take it to my grave."
Nina lunged for Finch.
"Then I guess you'll be going to it very soon!" Nina hissed.
Elliot and Maya stand up to pull Nina off him.
