Hi everybody, sorry this is so late.  I sent it to Debbie Minett last wee=
k,
so she could forward it to the list, perhaps avoiding the weird punctuati=
on
problems, then I went away for a long weekend.  Lo and behold, the messag=
e I
sent Debbie bounced. I don't know why.  So I'm going to send this to the =
list
myself, sorry about the 93s and stuff. Next time I'll send it via our Net=
com
account - I don't know the password yet and I wanted to get this out ASAP=

Loving Update Thursday, April 6, 1995

Clay comes into Deborah=92s hospital room, says she wanted to see him abo=
ut
something, as he says, =93 think you know why.=94  She tells hem she=92s =
feeling
weak, and asks him to come closer, whereupon she grabs his tie and calls =
him
a pig.

Allie and Tyler at Le Bistro, Jacob admires Tyler and asks if he can get =
them
anything else; she asks for coffee.  As Jacob=92s getting the coffee, he
answers the ringing phone and speaks to someone named =93Tania=94 who=92s=
 letting
him know that his employment records are being checked.  Jacob=92s confus=
ed,
and then Charles walks in and Jacob says, =93never mind, suddenly it=92s =
all
clear,=94 and hangs up. =


Steffi comes in and sits down with Allie.  She=92s stressed out because s=
he=92s
been dealing with Deborah=92s financial matters.  Allie tells her to calm=
 down.
 Steffi says she talked to Cooper this morning and tells Tyler his Daddy
misses him.  Steffi asks Allie how she and Casey are doing and Allie says=
 she
wishes Casey would come back.

Casey sneaks up on Danny the drug dealer in the park and tells him he doe=
sn=92t
need drugs, he does need a job.  Danny asks, =93doing what?=94 and Casey =
replies,
=93delivering papers, whadj=92a think?=94  Danny answers that he=92s not =
hiring.
 Casey tells him he knows the cops have been pulling a lot of guys off th=
e
street.  Casey says he=92s got lots of contacts and can even make new con=
tacts.
 Casey says he needs the money and wants to make his own hours and work o=
ut
of his house.  The dealer predicts Casey would use his supply of drugs, b=
ut
Casey vehemently denies this.  Danny remains dubious about Casey=92s abil=
ity to
abstain.  Casey reiterates he=92s desperate for cash to care for his wife=
 and
kid.  Danny says =93sorry I can=92t help you,=94 and Casey replies, =93I =
don=92t think
you understand; I=92m not *asking* you, Danny.=94

At Le Bistro, Steffi and Allie continue talking about Casey.  Allie says =
that
she=92 enjoying dating him, that they never had a romantic courtship.  Sh=
e
declines to talk more about it because she =93feels bad=94 that jCooper=92=
s not
around for Steffi.  Steffi says she wants to hear about everything becaus=
e
she=92s Allie=92s friend.  She comments how strange it is that only a few=
 weeks
ago she felt bad for Allie and Casey when they were having problems.  =


Deborah lets go of Clay=92s tie and he comments she=92s making a speedy r=
ecovery,
and asks if they laced her medication with wolfsbane...Deborah accuses hi=
m of
ruining Steffi=92s life by sending Cooper to Paris.  She calls him and =93=
evil
toad,=94 he defends himself by pointing out that the Paris office was Coo=
per=92s
idea, that he did offer to have somebody else run the office, but that Co=
oper
and Steffi insisted.  Deborah doesn=92t believe him.  She thinks Clay wan=
ts to
move in on Stef, and Clay remarks with relish that with Cooper away, and
Deborah in the hospital, Steffie could probably use a little =93companion=
ship.=94
 This infuriates Deborah.  She gets really angry, yells at Clay, =93GET O=
UT!=94
and throws something at him.  Angie comes in, asking sternly, =93What=92s=
 going
on here?!=94

At  Le Bistro, Charles asks Jacob if he=92s feeling better since the epis=
ode at
the hospital with Angie.  Jacob says he=91s fine, that it was =93allergie=
s.=94
 Charles remarks it looked more like Jacob =93saw a ghost.=94  Jacob chan=
ges the
subject by asking Charles what he can get for him.  Charles asks for coff=
ee
and Jacob says hopefully, =93to go?=94 but Charles says he=92s in no rush=
=2E  Jacob
asks him if he shouldn=92t be hard at work chasing bad guys or something,=
 and
Charles replies, =93How do you know I=92m not?=94  They stare each other =
down for
awhile, then Jacob tells him he=92ll call Charles if he sees any bad guys=
=2E
 They banter in a hostile manner for awhile.  Charles asks Jacob where he=
=92s
from, tries to get him to talk about his family, but Jacob=92s evasive.  =
Jacob
leaves to help a customer and Charles remembers looking at Jacob=92s empl=
oyment
application, where Jacob had written =93none=94 for =93next of kin.=94  H=
e calls
Jacob over for more coffee and Jacob says =93coming right up Agent Harris=

 Charles is taken aback and says =93what did you call me?=94  Jacob says
=93Harrison, that=92s your name isn=92t it?=94 Charles asks Jacob how he =
knows he was
with the FBI and Jacob replies he heard it from Angie or Frank.  They sta=
rt
talking about how they don=92t like each other much.  Charles asks Jacob =
why he
never got Charles in trouble for harassing Jacob in his apartment.  Jacob=

says =93I guess I=92m just that kinda guy.=94  Charles gets up and wants =
to pay.
 Jacob tells him its on the house, but Charles insists.  As he=92s puttin=
g on
his coat, Charles asks Jacob how his sister is doing.  Jacob looks blank
momentarily, but then asks why Charles is so curious about his family if =
he
doesn=92t even like him.  He says his sister is doing as well as can be
expected.  Charles says it must be hard his only sister being so sick, an=
d
Jacob says he never said she was his only sister.  Charles then says smar=
mily
that he owes Jacob an  apology for being so hard on him when he called An=
gie
to talk about his sister, and says he=92d like Angie to talk to Jacob=92s=
 sister.
 He asks for her phone number, so he can have Angie call; Jacob=92s hesit=
ant,
and says he can=92t give out his sister=92s number to total strangers wit=
hout
asking her first.

Allie asks Steffi to go for a walk with her and Tyler, but Steffi wants t=
o go
back to check on Deborah, who=92s been driving everyone crazy at the hosp=
ital.

Angie asks Deborah to calm down.  Deborah keeps yelling at Clay to leave,=
 and
Angie pronounces, =93No more visitors,=94 while Clay urges her to check D=

o link
him to other =93operations.=94  But, Casey says, they might offer him a =93=
deal=94
and let him go if he rats on Danny, et al.  Danny malevolently warns him =
not
to do that, but Casey reiterates that Danny owes him.

Angie is examining Deborah who looks anxious.  Angie says she=92ll let St=
effi

ngs

=2E=94
 Deborah asks why, the angiogram showed no heart disease, and isn=92t she=
