Heavily pregnant and deeply agitated, Elina heard quite enough about Lady Smallwood through third parties, Simon and Anthea as well as idly watching from the comfort of her own home Lady Smallwood running her mouth about through wired CCTV.

She was ordered by Doctors and Mycroft that she was on strict bedrest until she was deemed to go into labour. She couldn't agree with that verdict because the more she stayed in bed the more she grew frustrated with herself and Alicia. She didn't like how she was flirting with her partner but was relieved Mycroft grew ignorant to such passes coming from her.

Shuffling off the fluffy pillows and numeral blankets on the bed, she heaved herself off the bed and moved to her wardrobe to change her attire. The only things that seemed to fit her these days were leggings and her better half dress shirts. She didn't look a complete car reck but her conscious view through the mirror didn't bother her as her blood boiled more over that woman in question.

Shuffling her shoes and shrugging on a coat, she hollered for the trio of men who kept to her like glue and they helped her into the Range Rover and drove to the Diogenes Club.

It edged DJ and Jason as Elina offered no words as she clacked her nail's rhythmically against the dashboard. Yes, she wasn't supposed to be sat up front with her diagnoses but she trusted the men she saw as family with her life. Lenny knew she was mulling over what to say to the bitch in question and how the multiple scenarios would pan out.

When they made it to the front pavement, Jason mentioned something about parking the car up whilst DJ, Lenny and Elina got out and walked quietly through to his second office underground.

One older gentleman simply frowned as the trio walking past one of the rooms but they paid no bother to it.

As they made it to his windowless office, something in which was recently refurnished to match Mycroft's persona, Lenny tapped pleasantly on the door before opening it and gently guiding Elina in. Mycroft appeared surprised to see Elina waddling in and he was quick to stand and guide her to the sofa which was comfortable enough to sit in. "I thought I told you to stay in bed at home." He chastised in light. "Oh, I know but I grew bored and I wanted to see if my prediction would draw correct." She noted on sweetly whilst kissing his cheek as he passed her sitting form to grab a blanket and tuck it smoothly around her. "Oh, yes?" He questioned poshly whilst smiling and moving to sit behind his desk. "And what would that be?"

Consulting with her wristwatch as she sat with her feet up, she pointed with her other finger as she counted down. "Three, two, one..." And just like that Lady Smallwood came through the door without passing the pleasantry of knocking and Elina made a face which said in short her prediction of deduction. How long would it take until she arrived. Mycroft shared an eye with her before looking to his paperwork, evidently carrying on with what he was doing previously. Not bothering on giving Alicia his time of day.

"Afternoon, Mycroft." She drew sweet and in a tone Elina found rather revolting. Rather than allowing him to respond, Elina smiled smugly. "Hello... Alicia." Mycroft remained with his work but lifted his upper lip in slim, something only Elina noticed as Lady Smallwood slowly turned to face her with a false look. "Elina, how lovely to see you. How's the pregnancy going?" She acted in kind causing Elina to simply hum.
