When Elena was released from the hospital the following day, the first thing she did was go to the jail. She'd called Robby, who made sure she was okay before telling her that they were on their way home.

She'd heard Miguel and Johnny as well but Robby refused to let either of them speak to her. It was clear he'd become upset with them. She sat at a table that was all to familiar as it reminded her of the one she'd sit at when she went to see Robby.

"Ahh.. Reed." Kreese noted as he was allowed to sit down with her, "How are you feeling? After the match.."

Elena grimaced, "I'm feeling better.. sorry, I let you down, I know you wanted me t-." Kreese shook his head, wanting to grab her shoulder but he couldn't.

"You didn't let me down, kid, I let you down. I should have made Johnny pull you from the match.. I knew you weren't doing to hot. I know you too well."

Kreese noted, eyes softening slightly as he noticed the sadness in her eyes. "Thank you.. for everything, Sensei.. You've been a good.. figure in my life.."

Kreese let out a sad laugh, "That's nice to hear.. all anyones ever told me is that I ruined their lives." Elena smiled softly, "You've been better to me then you have them.. So.. Silver?"

Kreese clenched his fists, "I should have known that son of a hitch was going to double cross me. Fake vegan bastard." Elena couldn't help but laugh at the insult, "Jesus.. Sensei, how can I help?"

"You can't.. not you, you need to stay away from all of this for some time. If I'm in here in a month, then come see me. Until then, I have someone on the job." Kreese winked, Elena could see the mischievous glint in his eyes.

She knew he had a plan and he would succeed, much like he usually did. "Kreese, times up." The guards picked him up, Elena stood up quickly unsure what to do. "Take a break, kid.. you'll need it, it's not over."

Elena stood beside her mother with some baked goods in hand, they stood at the door when Yaya opened up. "Agh! My girls!" She pulled the pair into tight hugs, "Mi amor, te ves tan hermosa!"

Yaya cheered, making Elena spin for her as Miguel watched from the door. The girl laughed, a bright grin coming to her face, "Y Carmen?"

Camilla asked as the trio stepped inside, "Miguel poisoned her with his apology breakfast.. she's there." Yaya and Camilla made their way to the bathroom as Elena stood at the door.
