BOYKEWICH INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS AFTER BOARDMEETING IN C.E.O. LOBBY
Nathan: Chloe how could you do that. (stunned at Chloe for striking Ben after seeing him for the first time in nearly nine years)Chloe: It wasn't that easy. (rubbing her hand as it hurt from slapping Ben)
Ben: It's okay everyone, I expected that. (rubbing his right cheek which was red from the slap).
Chloe: So you know why I did that then.
Ben: Considering I left for nine years one night with nothing but the clothes on my back, without a phone call, text, email, letter, or a post to my Instagram, or Twitter page. I figured you would be pissed at me for making you worry about me for so long.
Chloe: Yeah, that and the fact that you left with Dad thinking you hated him. Let's not forget that you show up in town yesterday without letting me, or mom know you're here, and we have to find out from Dad who told those in-grates first.
Ben: Sorry, but after I made a few stops, and talked to Dad, there was somewhere else I had to go, and being there took a lot out of me.
Chloe: (realizing Ben stopped by the grave yard understood, and regretted hitting Ben so hard) So what have you been up to for the past decade, and how is it your face hurt my hand so much?
Ben: (still rubbing his cheek) Well, in contrast your hand hurt my face too, but how about we go to lunch, and I'll tell you about it. Some of it at least.
Chloe: I'd like that.
Nathan: Well, I would like to join you but I'm sure this is a brother and sister thing, and we have a brother to brother thing to handle right Phil. (looking at Phil sternly)
Phillip: Right, maybe we can all get together later, huh Ben.
Ben: I'd like that from both of you.
Nathan: Then it's settled. Nora could you hang around and accept any calls there might be. Could you also continue to redistribute all meetings to the other department chairs.
Nora: Will do. (sits happily at her desk as she watches both sets of siblings leave out of the adjoining elevators)
SAINT MARK'S HOSPITAL
ROOM 219 10:45 AM
After Leo saw Ben for the first time in nearly nine years his spirits despite the situation of their relationship actually perked up. His vital signs were as healthy as they had ever been, his blood cells were at an all time high, and for the first time in a long time he seemed happy. This intrigued Ricky who now visited Leo, since he left the day before after seeing Ben had been there. He was shocked to see Ben after so long, and knowing Amy was there made him feel out of place.Ricky: Well you're looking better Leo, I haven't seen you look this good in a long while.
Leo: Honestly Ricky, I don't think I have had reason to feel this well in a long time.
Ricky: Having Ben back must have taken a lot of stress off of your heart. (feeling anxiety to mention Ben to Leo)
Leo: Yeah, it has. I tell you Ricky I have never seen him look so grown up. It was like looking at a ghostly image of Sarahs' father when he stood at the foot of my bed yesterday. For a moment I thought my time was up.
Ricky: Hey, don't talk like that you still have a lot of time left before anyone calls you home.
Leo: I hope so. But, still seeing him scared the hell out me, it scared me even more to see he's like his Grandfather in so many ways.
