Kendall was alone at the Fusion offices working on the holiday campaign. Greenlee was suffering from morning sickness day and night and Simone was having a romantic dinner with Ethan. Her cell phone rang startling Kendall before she could sink into another self-deprecating rant.

"Hello?" Kendall barked into the small silver phone. Thunder began to rumble in the distance. A typical summer storm was rolling in.

"Kendall!" STATIC, there was a distant voice on the other end of the line.

"Zach, Is that you?" Kendall inquired, "There is a storm. We have a bad connection." Kendall realized she was speaking louder than necessary.

STATIC "I" STATIC "soon" Zach's connection was lost.

Kendall snapped her cell phone shut. "I need to get a new service." Immediately a simultaneous clap of lighting a thunder caused Kendall to drop the phone onto the desk. The lights in the Fusion office flickered.

Suddenly a single thought occurred to Kendall, "Erica." Without hesitation, Kendall grabbed her purse and ran to the elevator.

Kendall had never been more thankful that the Fusion offices had a parking garage. She was carefully navigating her car through the streets of Pine Valley. Talking aloud to herself became a comfort while trying to carefully drive in the heavy downpour.

"I am so glad Zach talked me out of buying the roadster." Zach arranged for Kendall to have a new luxury car paid for by the casino. But Zach insisted Kendall purchase a reliable, sturdy sedan. The foreign made sedan cruised gracefully through the puddles and raindrops.

Finally, Kendall reached the new Montgomery/Kane residence, a five bedroom Tudor inspired estate on River Road. While running from her car to the door Kendall was soaked to the bone. Kendall banged on the front door at the same exact moment of another crash of thunder. The door opened, bathing Kendall with the interior light.

"Kendall!" exclaimed Erica.
