A couple of days later, Erica stepped into the entryway of the Unit and sighed. She realised that it was probably known what happened, to an extent - even if just the fact that she hadn't been able to come in for personal reasons - and wasn't really looking forward to explaining herself. She just hoped nobody, or at least very few, asked.

"Oh, hey." She said in greeting to the one there.

"Anya doing all right?" She asked after a moment, concern in her voice.

One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

Jake looked over towards her, paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and then sighed.

"Yep." he replied.

"She's taking some time off from active work for a bit, but she found someone to help her recover." he told her.

"She'll be fine in about a week or so." he said further.

"But knowing her, she'll be up and working again in 4-5 days." he chuckled.

"...how are YOU doing?" he asked.

"Was her involvement worth it? You doing okay?"

Erica just sighed. "Well, I'm here of my own volition and without being a shell for some power hungry demon." She answered.

"So yeah, I'd say she helped." She added with a light chuckle before setting something on the desk and pushing it across.

"Some of the red velvet brownies of mine that she adores." She told him.

"Along with a container of that syrup that the demons seem to not be able to get enough of." She paused a moment.

"... as a thank you to her." She added before motioning to the envelope.

"That's a thank you to you, for putting up with this." She added.

Jake raised an eyebrow when she said that, and checked in the envelope.

"...." he was silent, before looking at her.

"For real?" he asked, genuine surprise in his tone.

She just nodded.

"Daaaamn." he said.

"These gift cards are almost impossible to get, and cater to... very specific tastes." he went on.

"Dunno how you managed this, but... thanks."

Erica just smirked lightly.

"Well, when I was working for Interpol... I made a few friends. One of them has a daughter that works there." She told him.

"So you can have a couple drinks on me." She added with a shrug.

"Anywho. Want to let me in? I need to speak with Sharp."

"....you really DO have some good connections, don't you?" Jake asked.

His forked tongue then darted out of his mouth, and he nodded.

"All right, in you go." he told her, buzzing her in.

"...." he was then silent, and smiled.

"Hey." he said.

"Welcome back." he told her.

"We've missed you."

Erica paused before smiling softly.

"Missed you too." She commented with a chuckle before heading off.

Sometime later, she managed to make her way up to the office she was aiming for, before being told to take a seat for a minute. She didn't know how long she'd be waiting, but it wasn't too long. Only a few minutes before she was called into the office.

"Hey." She said as a greeted as she entered.

"I just thought you'd like to know that ... well... some shit went down, but I'm ok."

Hal sat in his chair, looking at her, studying her, looking her up and down... before sighing and smiling.

"You look it." he said.

"I mean it, you're looking well." he told her.

"Which is above and beyond, considering you were being coerced and influenced by a demon, from what I hear." he went on.

"...granted, I know nothing more than that, but that's generally enough to surmise that a situation is dire." he then admitted.

"But you're all right. That's what matters." he said further, gesturing for her to take a seat.

Erica took the offered seat before sighing lightly.

"Coerced and influenced? That's... actually, that's an understatement." She commented with a sigh.

"I was very well on the path to be nothing more than an extension of his will, a doll to be posed as he desired." She told him.

"So yeah, that's fun."

Hal just sighed heavily.

"....that is certainly dire." he said. "To understate it." he mumbled.

"But you are all right now?" he asked.

She nodded.

"Do you feel you are prepared to return to work?" he asked her further.

Again, she nodded.

Hal then smiled, and nodded softly.

"Excellent." he said.

"Welcome back then, Erica." he told her.

"Good to see you again." he finished.
