Meanwhile...
Gary was getting worried, Donna had said she would call him on her break. Dialing the number for the bar, he waited for an answer.
"The Beatrice Inn, how can I help you?"
"Hey there, it's Gary calling. Is Donna around?"
"Yeah... hold on Gary. Dooooooooooonna... it's Gary."
Racing over, she took the phone.
"Hey Gar... what's the matter? Is it the kids?"
"No. You were suppose to call me on your break."
"Oh God... I'm sorry honey. You know how crazy it gets here, espcially when the celeb's start arriving."
"I know... but you have called. Especially with Lawrence out there."
"I'm sorry, Gar. Can we talk about it when I get home. I'm swamped."
"Sure. Call me when you're leaving."
"I will. I love you Gar."
"I love you too, Donna. Stay safe."
Hanging up the phone, Gary couldn't understand what brought on, the 180 degree turn she just made. Shrugging it off, he made a fresh pot of coffee.
Meanwhile...
Claire went into Julia's room to check on her. Finding her cool to touch, she sighed with relief. Covering her up, she walked back out and geard wretching. Opening Jimmy's room, she noticed he was now sick.
"Jimmy... are you okay, son?"
"No mom. I think I have what Julia had. My stomach hurts really bad, and I can't stop vomiting."
"Okay, I'll get you some ginger ale, and a couple Tylenol."
Heading downstairs, Tony stopped her.
"What's going on, baby?"
"Jimmy's sick. If you could help him change into clean pajama's, I'd be forever grateful."
Once they had Jimmy settled, the phone rang.
"I'll get it, Tony. You stay with Jimmy. Hello."
"Hey sis, are you busy?"
"A little. Julia just got over the flu, and now Jimmy has it. Why? What did you need?"
"Too talk. Can we make some time for lunch tomorrow?"
"Of course. Stop by anytime during the day. I'll be home. But are you sure you're okay, now?"
"Yeah... I'm fine sis. I'll see tomorrow, tell Jimmy to get better."
"I will bro, night."
Hanging up the phone, Claire headed back up to her son.
Meanwhile...
Outside the club, he had found her car. How dare she kick his ass from the bar two nights ago. He had done nothing wrong. All he did was tease her a little. Crawling under the car, he played with the breakline. Once he had it partially clipped, he took off back down the street.
Inside the bar, they were just getting ready for shift change. Heading downstairs to get her coat, Jason was waiting. Helping her on with her coat, they left.
"My truck is over here Donna. I'll have to help you in. It's a big leap."
Unlocking his door, he lifted her around the waist, and sat her inside. Then coming around to the drivers side, they headed out.
"So your husband won't mind picking up the car in the morning, will he?"
"No... he has to go into work. He won't mind stopping by here to get the car. Thanks again for the ride home, and for your undivided protection tonight." she laughed.
"You're welcome. Goodnight Donna. See you tomorrow."
Making sure she was in safe, he headed home.
