The Black out continues in Pasadena and Mona continues her reign of terror. With the body bag full, Mona drags it out side to her car. She gets in her car and drives up to Sharan's and Kevin's house and again grabs her magic bag of tricks .She then speaks aloud,

"My dear Sharan. The moment I have been waiting for. I'm here to get you my sweetness." Mona gets out her car but stops when she sees Dondre walking up the street. Not expecting him, Mona, one to think quickly already has a plan to take care of Dondre too. Mona creeps to the Sharan and Kevin's back bedroom window and the same chemicals Mona pumped in Lauren's and Daniel's house is the same secret Russian chemical she pumps into Kevin and Sharan's house

Inside the House,

Sharan

"What happened to the lights?"

Kevin

"It must be a black out." Kevin tries to feel his way in the dark to find some candles."

Dondre

"Sharan, you in there?" He says approaching the front door.

Kevin

"Isn't this perfect? Your night in shining armor is here. Call out his name now!"

Sharan

"Kevin, it's not like that."

Kevin

"What the hell do you mean? In the middle of making love you call out another man's name!? How long have you been sleeping with him?"

Sharan

"I didn't sleep with Dre!"

Dre opens the front door and enters, hearing Sharan and Kevin's argument getting more intense.

Kevin grabs Sharan

"Don't lie to me. He already slept with Victoria and you're sleeping with him too. You looked me in my face and told me you didn't have feelings for him!"

Sharan

"Kevin let go of me! You're hurting me!"

Dondre, finally making his way back to the bedroom

"Get your damn hands off her yo!"

Kevin lets Sharan go and lunges for Dondre in the darkness. Kevin misses him and upon trying to swing again, Kevin, Dondre, and then Sharan passes out, breathing in the secret agent, Mona is pumping into the air. Mona then enters the house, and with her flashlight, makes her way to the bedroom. Mona sees Sharan and kneels down and kisses her on the lips. She then lifts her Queen into her arms and carries her into the car. Mona then runs back in the house, drops a letter next to Kevin, then she drags Dre's body outside and then puts him into her car. Mona closes her door, and puts the key in the ignition and drives off from Westwood Park. She lights up her blunt and exhales. As the smoke comes out her mouth, she smiles and turns her stereo and begins to bop her head to the ol skool klassic, Between the Sheets, by the Isleys Brothers. After months of waiting, plotting and planning; Mona has finally got what she wanted. .....Sharan.

Abe

"Yes. Somehow Natalia and Dahlia flew out the window and landed in a garbage truck."

Mark

"What?….. You're joking right?"

Diego

"He's telling the truth. I was the one who looked out the shattered window and saw the two ladies lying in the garbage truck."

Mark

"Natalia? How does she play any part in this?"

Abe

"That's a very good question?" Abe gets a call on his cell." Ok, bring them in"

Mark

"Who was that? Was it about Dahlia?"

Abe

"It was the manager at the Stink So Good Waste management site. They have retrieved one body."

"We don't know yet. The ambulance is driving whom ever it is over right now."

Diego

"I'll get my team ready then." He walks off.

Mark

"Please let it be Dahlia!"

Abe

"Listen, I'll check back in with you in a bit. I got a lot on my plate with this black out." Abe walks off and Mark prays that it was Dahlia who was rescued from the landfill. His thoughts are interrupted when his cell phone rings. "Hello?"

"It's nice to see you Jodie" He gets up and greet her by kissing her, on the cheek.

"You look stunning as always."

Jodie, blushing

"I don't know how your girlfriend would feel if she heard you flirting with me."

Ty

"Don't worry about Jenn. So tell me, what do I owe this pleasure?"

Jodie

"Well I was thinking about what you said to me the other night at The Blue Note"

Ty

"You mean the job offer?"

Jodie

"Yes. I do need to make some money and make ends meet."

Ty

"I see, well how does your boyfriend feel about this?"

Jodie

"Mike? He's not my man."

Ty

"I can't tell. He sure had you on lock that night. Acting like your personal security guard."

Jodie

"Nothing of the such. He was just being over protective. That's all. Mike and I are very good friends. He was just looking out for me"

Ty

"What's he protecting you from?"

Jodie

"Come on Ty, we all know Mike doesn't like you. He thinks you 're a drug dealer and that you are involved in mafia dealings. He blames you for taking Jenn away from him. He just doesn't like you, I 'm sure you already know this"

Ty

"And what about you? What do you think about me?"

Jodie

"I'm in your office asking for a job aren't I?"

Ty

"Yes, but that doesn't mean nothing to me. This could be a set up. Mike might have sent you to try and be a mole here at my hotel."

Jodie

"Don't be ridiculous. I just need a job. Are you going to give me one or not?"

Ty looks into her eyes and is drawn in.

"How could I possibly so no to such a beautiful face."

Jodie

"Thank you so much. When can I start?"

Ty

"I'll have my secretary get with you." Jodie gets up and walks behind Ty's desk and hugs him

Jodie

"Thank you, this mean so much to me." She lets go of him, grabs her purse and walks out the office. Upon closing the door, She sees Jenn.

Jenn

"Who the hell do you think you are? I heard everything you said? Mike isn't enough for you?"

Jodie

"You have no idea what you're talking about. You better get used to seeing me around here. I'll be all up in Ty's face. Have a good day Jenn." Jodie smiles at Jenn and walks out.

Jenn

"First Ty shoots me and now he's trying to have an affair with Jodie? I can't believe I left Mike for this." Jenn decides to confront Ty and walks into his office.

Mark

"This can't be happening." He approaches a paramedic

"Please tell me you are going back to get the other survivor?"

Paramedic

"I'm sorry. No one was able to find the other victim. Recovery workers searched the entire landfill and found only one woman. It's believed the other woman was dropped into the garbage compacter."

Mark

"No.!" The paramedic walks away. Mark begins to shake his head at the thought Dahlia is dead.

"My sweet Dahlia. Damn. How could this have happened?" Mark sits down in a chair. He stares at the wall imagining Dahlia being crushed in the trash compacter.
