"Where will Liz be staying? After she gets out of the hospital?" Cammie curiously asked her mom, as her mom took some microwaveable dinners out.
"We're not sure yet, maybe she'll stay with us. Or she may simply always stay at the Academy." Mrs. Morgan replied distractedly. "Am I supposed to take the wrappers off before or after it's in the microwave?" She turned to Cammie, looking hopelessly useless, which…wasn't usual.
"Before," Cammie answered bored.
"Thanks hon!" Rachel Morgan chirped.

"Are you telling me, that you aren't even the tiniest, eensiest bit interested in the 'relationship' between Joe and that lady, Summer?" Abby questioned Townsend incredulously.
"If he wished to tell us, he would. I refuse to accompany you on your ridiculous raid of his room. That is a complete invasion of privacy." Townsend answered, sticking his nose in the air.
He acted as though he didn't care, but…alas, it did bother him. In fact, he has already searched Joe Solomon's room, but he hadn't found anything.
"Well, you're just not any fun, that's what you are." Abby huffed, before stomping away.
"What was that all about?" A voice asked curiously from behind Edward Townsend.
Joe had caught Edward off guard, which was very unusual, especially since he was Edward Townsend.
"Nothing, nothing." Edward answered too quickly.
Joe looked at Edward with a you-better-tell-me look, which would never have worked on him, rest assured. Townsend simply wanted to have answers.
"What is the…relationship between you and the lady, Summer?" Townsend asked nonchalant.
"Nothing really, met a few times in the past. She's changed a lot, that's all. I nearly couldn't recognize her." Joe admitted sheepishly.
"So, was there…some past interesting relationship?" Edward winked conspiratorially.
"Ha, ha, why of course not." Joe laughed awkwardly. Despite being one of the best agents in the world…he had never quite mastered the art of faking a laugh.
"How long?" Townsend decided to push his limits and peruse more into Joe Solomon's personal life.
Joe opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted.
"It's Liz! Her dad's back!" Bex screamed as she pushed through the men to reach the front door.
