Jack answered his phone grumpily. Very few people knew he even had a cell phone, even fewer would call him in the middle of the night.

"Jack!" Gwen's voice nearly shouted in his ear.

"What?" Jack grumbled.

"Just what the hell is going on between you and Lyla?" Gwen asked. Jack rolled his eyes. He knew that Gwen would not be happy about Lyla's feelings for him.

"Nothing, I haven't done anything. I've actually tried to dissuade her," Jack said. He didn't need this right now.

"Look she's my best friend," Gwen warned.

"Winters, I don't want to hurt her, I am doing what I can to prevent that," Jack said.

"She's something pretty special," Gwen said.

"I know," Jack replied. "I'm quite aware of that." Gwen was shocked to hear Jack say that.

"Careful, she might make you fall in love with her," Gwen teased. She waited for his laugh.

"You know, you might just be right," Jack sighed.

"Are you serious?" Gwen asked.

"I don't know," Jack admitted.

"Just don't hurt her," Gwen warned. She switched subjects to the case, which made Jack feel much more at ease. Ever since that man Basil had showed up in Lyla's flower shop, he had felt jealous. He could clearly see that there was something between Lyla and the man. It was absurd to feel jealous, she was not his. But there was something about Lyla's sweetness and kind heart that had him feeling a touch possessive.

"Gwen," Jack interrupted her briefing on Maion. "Vaughn hurt Gina. I want to make sure that Lyla's safe."

"Then watch over her," Gwen advised. Jack sighed.

"I can't do it all the time!" Jack snapped.

"Wow, I've never heard you like this," Gwen stated. "I will make sure she's safe too."

Sanjay started packing his large suitcase. He was saddened to think that he would be going back to Echo Town tomorrow afternoon. Rachel's goodbye had been heart-wrenching, but at least now he knew what she thought of him.

"Knock knock," Amir said from the doorway. Sanjay looked up. Usually he'd be happy to see the prince, but right now all he could feel was frustration.

"What can I do for you Prince Amir?" Sanjay asked. Even though he was frustrated at the prince, it was not in his nature to be rude or insubordinate.

"We need to talk," Amir sighed. "About Rachel."

"Forgive me if I am out of line, but I believe we have already had that conversation," Sanjay replied. He was not particularly in the mood to discuss Rachel with Amir again.

"I know," Amir said. There was a hint of chagrin in his voice. Sanjay looked at the prince. He had never before seen Amir act this way.

"So what else is there to say?" Sanjay asked.

"It has come up my attention that she appears to be smitten with you," Amir started. Sanjay said nothing. He simply nodded. Amir shifted uncomfortably. "I thought that perhaps separating you would make her fall in love with me instead, but I see now that won't work in winning her over."

"She is not some prize to be won," Sanjay said softly.

"I know," Amir said. "Look, I am not a man used to being denied what I want." Sanjay waited. He was unsure of what Amir wanted him to do.

"So what is it you want from me?" Sanjay asked. "You are already sending me away." Amir was shocked by Sanjay's soft tone. The loyalty of his servant hit hard.

"I want you to stay," Amir whispered. He had not been sure what he was going it say to Sanjay, but now he knew that this was the right thing. Sanjay had showed him loyalty, it was his turn to return it.

Sanjay stood frozen, he was not sure he had heard Amir correctly for a moment. He dared not ask him to repeat the words, in case he had misheard the prince.

"I bet your pardon?" Sanjay asked.

"I want you to stay," Amir repeated louder. Sanjay looked up at the prince. "You were right, she should be the one to decide who she wants."

Rachel walked hand in hand with Sanjay in the garden. She had been thrilled to hear he was no longer being sent to Echo Town. She and Tina had made a lot of progress with her memory gaps, after this afternoon's exercises with Tina, she was sure of what she was. She held onto Sanjay's hand now, wanting to remember this feeling. She was sure that once he knew for sure, he would be long gone.

"My memory is coming back more and more," Rachel sighed.

"That is a good thing right?" Sanjay asked. He had a concerned look on his face.

"Yes and no. Tina's theory about me is correct. I am a human replication," Rachel admitted. She waited for him to pull his hand away, but he did nothing of the sort. Instead, he squeezed it lightly.

"That matters not," Sanjay assured. "What matters is keeping you safe." Rachel looked up at him in awe. Was he really telling the truth? She couldn't be sure. Sanjay could see the doubt in her mind, and to ease her questioning, he softly planted a kiss on her lips.

Chelsea was breathing was raspy. It was harder for her to sleep most nights all the way through. A few days earlier she had demanded Will sleep in another room so she would not bother him. Will had balked at first, but Chelsea had been insistent. Truth was, Chelsea was ready to die. She was tired of fighting. She only held on because Will wanted her to. She sighed. How she loved Will. She felt a coughing spell coming on, and she sat up. Lifting her pillow to her face, she coughed into it, to muffle out the sound. It was at that moment she could hear Will talking. He was in the adjoining room to hers. He sounded angry. Chelsea struggled to get up.

"I don't give a damn!" Will shouted. "That replication was the only way we can save Chelsea! You tell those incompetent men to find that girl! Chelsea needs those organs!" Chelsea's eyes widened. What was he talking about? She was too tired now, she would ask him about it tomorrow.

Alex was sitting with Gina, when the machine she was hooked up to flatlined. Suddenly the room was filled hospital staff. The man who had threatened him was noticeably absent. Alex's heart thudded. He wanted desperately to help.

"What's happening?" He demanded. He was trying it get close to her. A nurse stopped him.

"Sir let us do our work," the nurse insisted. Alex relented. He knew he would be no good to Gina now. He needed to let the doctor's attend to her. He watched in horror as they made several attempts to revive her. After several minutes that felt like hours, they stopped. One of the nurses looked up at Alex.

"I'm sorry sir," she said softly. Alex quickly left the hospital room, unable to stay.
