Frieda Knight in a standard hospital gown is lying in an MRI machine; after her Father Benton letting doctor Abigail Robinson know she is ready to begin being tested for bi-polar disorder; an expert in psychology second to Frances Twist; but Abigail focusing more on diagnosing and treating mental disorders. Benton looks at her daughter; “It will be alright,” Benton doing his best to comfort her.
“Father, it’s not as if I’m getting a full exam from a gynecologist;” Frieda sensing more of Eric and Spencer’s bliss.
“Ugh,” Benton picturing his daughter lying on an exam table with her legs on the stirrups; “Frieda I don’t want that in my mind as I worry throughout the night over you.”
“You could always Uncle Lance,” Frieda suggesting; “Don’t you two need to co-ordinate for tomorrows were-panther gathering?”
“Yes I do need to talk to Lance regarding a few things,” Benton sighing at having to deal with his younger brother; “But not regarding the were-panther meeting; all that was taken care of.”
“What about the house staff,” Frieda waiting for her tests to start; “have you contacted them yet? Find out which ones are willing to come back?”
“That will have to wait for a few more days,” Benton answers; “Frieda I thinks its best that I leave now. I promise to bring you the missing items for your overnight bag.”
“And the town car for after school tomorrow,” Frieda shouts as Benton leaves.
“Now miss Knight,” Abigail speaking through a speaker; “I need to ask you a few simple questions to establish a base line. I need to you answer truthfully.
“Okay doctor,” Frieda answers; “But please call me Frieda.”
“First off,” the doctor asking; “what is your full name?”
“Frieda Knight,” She answers.
“Where were you born?”
“Here in Moon Lake,” Frieda answers.
“Do you smoke, drink or consume any other controlled substances?”
“No,” Frieda answers; “I’m too young for that.”
“Are you dating or seeing anyone,” the doctor asking.
“Both Spencer Lawson and Eric Anderson,” Frieda answers; feeling their passion as they climax from another round of love. It makes her smile as their waves of ecstasy cascade on her, regardless of the distance between them.
Abigail looking at the screen of Frieda’s brain scan and nods with what she sees. “All right Frieda,” speaking through the intercom; “As you can see in the MRI machine is a monitor. On this monitor you will see several images. What I need you to do is look at them but not say anything. Just watch the screen until I tell you to stop.”
Frieda doesn’t answer; she just lets the bliss Eric and Spencer are experiencing wash all over her. Sensing the two speak their nicknames, yin and yang; Frieda silently mouths ‘whole’, not knowing both Eric and Spencer heard her in their heads as the two revel and share in their post orgasmic bliss.

Benton left the room as his daughter was beginning her tests for bi-polar disorder; Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, Benton looks at his phone to see he missed a text from his brother.
‘Aware of Jack Crawford’s business dealings. An article in the gazette will appear in tomorrow’s edition. Care to talk about Far Houjin and Kai Hǔ Wáng disappearance from the Wáng Technological Consortium?’
Benton swore when he read the last part. The two that run Wáng Technological being M.I.A was not something he was expecting Lance to want to talk to him about. Calling his brother he is greeted by the sound of laughing and children screaming in the background.
“Benton,” Lance answering on the line; where are you?”
“At the hospital; Benton answered; “Frieda is getting tested for bi-polar disorder. Where the hell are you and what is that I’m hearing in the background?”
“I am meeting my girlfriend’s family,” Lance proudly answers; “what you are hearing is her niece and nephews having fun eating tacos.”
“Since when did you get a girlfriend,” Benton mildly curious.
“I met Lila carpenter after I was inducted into the elder council Benton,” Lance answering; “she is one of the volunteers that help satisfy certain urges and requests.”
“Yeah I’m well aware of the other members of the council were horny and incapable of keeping it in their sheathes’ as it were;” Benton sighing. “Look I got your text. Are you serious? Far and Kai are missing?”
“For about two weeks now,” Lance clearly somewhere more private; “My business reporter found that out when working on the story regarding Crawford’s attempt to take over Knight Industries. It’s in all the Chinese newspapers. It’s only a matter of time before the Wall Street Journal and all the other major papers pick up the story. ”
“I can honestly tell you Lance,” Benton sounding shocked; “That I had no knowledge of this or anything to do with their disappearance. In fact I tried to get a hold of them today, regarding the voting shares they control.”
“Okay,” Lance hearing what Benton said being plausible; “I guess we’ll talk more tomorrow at the were-panther gathering.”
“Are you bringing you girlfriend along,” Benton changing the subject.
“Are were-tigers permitted to attend,” Lance chuckling.
“Only if they are your spouse,” Benton sounding bemused; “you two planning on eloping?”
“No,” lance laughing; “mom and dad would be miffed if they found out they missed my wedding.”
“Then you are showing up stag like before,” Benton answering just before hanging up.
Putting his phone away he leaves the hospital and head to his car; determined to head home and get the rest of Frieda’s items for her overnight bag.
