Blimey Monday came around quickly this week!

Tomorrow I am away on a training day so the chapter will be posted a little later than usual.

Thank you to all my readers and reviewers I am very glad for your continued support for this epic story.

SPOILERS - this week - Kendal breaks the news about Bianca to the kids, Jesse asked Krystal on a date and David isn't giving up quite yet!

...

Randi was busy jotting down ideas in her note book when the apartment door opened and Frankie walked in. He looked exhausted.

"Bad day?" asked Randi sympathetically, getting up to give him a welcome home kiss.

"Very bad." said Frankie, the sad expression returning to his face after he smiled at the welcome.

Randi knew of only one patient who affected him so.

"Is it Bianca?" she asked. She realised there had been some complication as Kendal and Erica had been out of the office all day.

"David did something. I've never seen anyone in so much pain. We had to sedate her in the end. I don't know what we can do. I don't know if there is anything that we can do. That poor woman and her family."

"Poor Bianca." said Randi pulling him into a hug, hating to see him take it all so to heart. "And poor you. What can I do?"

Frankie kissed her again with a sigh.

"Distract me." he said. "Tell me about your day."

"My day…" said Randi leading him to rest on the couch. "Well I spent three hours in a gold velvet swimsuit this morning for a photo-shoot for Fusion Gold. And then Madison sketched me while we set to work planning our campaign for the Midnight Shadow range. Who would have thought, one minute I'm a glamorous model and the next I'm the writer of a Vampire comic strip."

"Well you are multitalented I've always said so." said Frankie with a smile.

Randi picked up her notebook and twirled it thoughtfully around in her hand.

"And you know, this writing malarkey is also quite fun, now I've started I've got hundreds of ideas for spin offs and everything, it's crazy."

"But you just need one idea." said Frankie.

"Actually we need six." said Randi, "We are going to make mini comic books. Six issues telling the whole story. Sort of a 'gotta catch 'em all' kind of deal. That way we create demand and interest, making it a bit more of a talking point."

"Sounds like you have a plan."

"We have to do something to compete with Erica's Origana range, it's threatening to eclipse everything else at Fusion, even the known brands, and the amount of money she is spending! I'm not surprised Kendal's getting a little irate."

"I did notice the tension between Kendal and Erica today, luckily Marissa's presence seemed to keep them civil."

"Kendal is turning this into a war and Erica is out there trying to prove she is right. Madison said that Erica is only trying to help in her way, which I guess is true, but her way is just very very expensive."

Frankie nodded.

"Well they will both be going through a rough time now, maybe it will help them make their peace."

"Maybe." said Randi, "Maybe tomorrow will be a good day."

"Maybe." agreed Frankie. "So can I have a look at one of these Vampire comics, I'm intrigued."

He reached for the notebook in her hand but Randi snatched it back.

"See." she teased, "It's already working!"

"Please?" he asked giving her a pleading look.

She looked down at the book in her hands a little self-consciously.

"It will be better with pictures." she said but she handed him the book before settling in beside him. "Remember these plots are very rough."

Frankie didn't respond he was too busy reading.
