Skyler wakes from a nap to the sound of his phone.
"Hello?"
"Skyler, it's Alvin. We need to have another meeting."
"Today?"
"Yes, the same place as last time."
"Okay, I can be ready in say an hour."
"Good, I'll be waiting for you."
Skyler hangs up the phone. He hadn't heard from Mr. Stone in well over a week, and now he wants something immediately? Skyler decides he shouldn't be surprised. After all, Alvin Stone is a closeted business man. Something probably just kicked his hormones into gear earlier.
Jason leans over his wife's bed. Kathryn is still unconscious in a comatose state. Her wounds are healing nicely, but her mind is locked inside a sleeping body. Jason talks to Kathryn to update her on the happenings of the past few days. He informs her that the writer Alex will be taking Kathryn's place as editor only temporarily until Kathryn is well enough to work again. Jason begins to blame himself for what has happened to her.
"I should have never forced you to go out that night."
He feels Kathryn's hand squeeze his own. She opens her eyes.
Denver climbs the stairs of his sister's apartment building. As he reaches the 4th floor, he can't help but think about Skyler being right down the hall. Instead of turning left to walk to his sister's apartment, he turns right and walks towards Skyler's apartment.
"Is it 4308 or 4309?"
He steps next to the door of 4309. Standing there for a long time, Denver can't seem to get the nerve to knock on the door. Finally just as he is about to knock, the door opens.
"Denver, well isn't this a nice surprise."
Denver is speechless. Skyler was hot today. Dressed in so tight jeans and a small t-shirt, it looks like he is going out or something even thought it is only the middle of the day.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I.. uh.. have the keys to my sister's apartment. I'm just moving some stuff from my dorm to her place now so I don't have to do it in April before I graduate."
"What are you moving your stuff to her place for?"
"Well, I'm going to be living there in a couple months."
Skyler has a huge smile on his face.
"That's perfect. You'll have to come say hi often."
"Sure."
"Hey, I'd love to keep chatting, well maybe only for a little longer before we got into other things, but anyway, I have a meeting to get to. Occupations always get in the way."
Skyler winks and closes his door. As he nears the stairwell he takes one last look at Denver and blows him a kiss. Denver blushes and heads to Alex's apartment.
Braxton lays comfortably in his suite on the 11th floor of the Hotel Grandivo. Ever since the incident from a couple weeks ago, he has felt unsafe. Paranoid that his father was going to show up again after the performance, Braxton decided it was best to stay in a hotel. Despite his trance state after the incident at his performance, Braxton seems to remember everything that happened: his father entering the club with a gun, the shooting of his mother, and the shooting of an innocent fan that happened to get in the way. Braxton worries about his mother and decides it is time to see her again since it has been a couple days. As Braxton opens his suite door, he sees an attractive, tall, dark-brown haired man come walking down the hallway. Skyler recognizes the black man staring at him.
"Busty Bouchet. How are you doing?"
Skyler quickens his pace to reach Braxton.
"Please, call me Braxton out of costume."
"Of course. Hey I would love to talk a bit, but it looks like you are leaving and I have a meeting to keep."
"Yes, I must go see my mother at the hospital. She is being kept there for observation, but please, come back later. I could use a friend, since we will be staying for awhile."
"Sounds great."
The two exchange phone numbers. As Braxton heads to the elevator, he can't but wonder where Skyler is heading to. He notices the door to 1145 open. Braxton can't hear or see the person who answered the door, but he watches Skyler enter the room.
"Hello?"
"Skyler, it's Alvin. We need to have another meeting."

"Yes, the same place as last time."
