Chapter 3

"Hi, Finn what brings you here?" Alexis asks. She was just about to enter the police station as Finn is leaving.

"Hi, I actually came to talk to my brother but just after I got here he got called away about something then there was another case he had to follow up with so I'll just have to talk to him later. Are you here because of a case?"

"Yeah, I have a client waiting inside. You know, if you're not busy later why don't we go for a cup of coffee?"

"I'm just on my way to the hospital but come by later, if I'm free I'll join you."

Alexis smiled, "Alright, see you later maybe." She smiled again then went inside. It would be nice to talk to Finn later. With everything going on with Kristina it would good to talk to a friend and she always felt better after talking to Finn.

...

It was several hours later when Alexis found Finn at the hospital, she offered him one of the coffees she was holding. "Do you have a little time to talk?"

"I do. You haven't thought about drinking since I washed your feet have you?" he said as he took the coffee and they went to sit down.

Alexis smiled thinking about him pouring vodka over her feet. "No, I haven't. Dealing with my middle daughter you would think I'd have more than enough reason to."

"That doesn't sound good."

"No, where do I begin? Molly told Kristina that she is in a cult and Kristina has now cut her out of her life because she can't have Molly's negativity in her life. A few days later I told her of my concerns and I was dismissed as Ms Davis. I talked to her father, I'm not really sure how it went when he talked to her. As far as I know, Sam is the only family member that I know Kristina is still talking to."

"This is because of that Dawn of Day thing she's involved in, right?"

"Yes. I don't know if Molly's right about it being a cult, but she could be. It does seem like this Shiloh character is very charismatic and has a way of making people listen to him, to believe what he's telling them. Every time Kristina says anything lately it includes Shiloh says."

"I understand why you're concerned. You really haven't thought about drinking?" he asked only half-jokingly.

"No, you think I would have."

"Mom, have you talked to Kristina? Is she going to leave that cult?" Molly walked over to them, she had come to see TJ but when she saw Alexis had to come over talk to her about this.

"No, I haven't talked to her in a few days. Not since she told Ms Davis to have a good day and dismissed me."

"You too, huh? This is getting out of control mom, Shiloh is separating her from everyone that loves her."

"Yeah, I know Molly. I'm hoping her father will have better luck getting through to her but I don't know what to expect from that either."

"I should get back to work. Alexis, if you need to talk you know how to find me."

"Thanks, Finn." He got up and walked away, he had a little bit to finish off here then he should go try to talk to Chase again.

When Finn was about to leave the hospital he called Chase and they agreed to meet at Kelly's. Finn got there just as Chase did, "Hey, that's pretty good timing."

"Hi, Chase. I hope you have a little time to talk now."

"I do. Sorry about this morning, you understand I'm sure. Some times the job has to come first."

"Yeah, I get it. So what was it you wanted to talk about?"

"I'm not really sure. Willow was going to leave town, now she's not so that good. I'm happy about that but she wanted to leave because someone from her past is here now and it really scared her. So now I'm worried about her."

"So that is why you wanted to talk to me?"

"No, not really. I think I just wanted to talk to someone that isn't somehow connected to my work or has ever heard of Dawn of Day."

"Sorry, I have heard of that."

"What, how?"

"I was talking to Alexis Davis earlier today and one of her daughters is caught up with that group and her youngest daughter is convinced it's a cult so she's worried about her sister. Alexis is worried too but doesn't know what she can do. I don't really know more than that."

Chase nodded, that might explain Jason Morgan's altercations with Shiloh the other day he thought. "Like I said that is not what I want to talk about."

Finn looked up to see Anna and Robert walking out of Kelly's, "I'll be in touch. I will be here for a little while," he heard Robert saying.

"Thanks, Robert. I'm glad we got that other matter straighten out earlier," she blushed ever so slightly as she grinned at him.

"I know my Annie, never doubt that." He kissed her cheek then turned and walked away.

Anna turned and noticed Finn and Chase and smiled at them, "Hi, what brings you both here?"

"We didn't get a chance to talk this morning so Finn called me to meet him here. We just got here, did you want to join us?" Chase asked.

"I'd love to," Anna said as she touched Finn's arm. "I just had a late lunch with Robert but I'll still join you."

"If you have somewhere else to be you don't have to," Finn told her.

Anna just looked at him thinking that was a little odd. "I'm free for the rest of the day."

"Then let's go sit and talk. That's what I think I need," Chase said then they all walked into Kelly's.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Finn asked as they sat down.

"I don't know, I'm glad Willow decide not to leave town. I thought I might be getting my partner back but it doesn't look like that's going to happen."

"Oh that's right Dante was your partner. He needs to deal with some things. After that, I think he might be ready to return to his family and his job but what he is doing is important and needs to be dealt with."

"So you know why he left. Do you know where he went?"

"I do and I am not telling you where or why. There are things in our line of work that should be kept quiet."

"I'm a cop."

"I'm a spy," she smiling sweetly, "I was Dante's boss the last time I was a cop though. This is spy world stuff that he needs to deal with."

"Chase you are just wasting time trying to get anything out of her. Besides, you said you didn't want to talk about your work."

"You're right," Chase smiled. Then they started talking about other things, including if Chase was going to preform at the Nurses Ball again this year.
