The morning sun rose over Orlando, and Jennifer Atherton awoke. She was still angered at Aaron for getting custody of Aidan, but after a good sleep, she realized that she was going to make a new life.

However, she was blissfully unaware that she had been caught with what she had done to Elixir and her former inlaws.

She walked out of the room she was in now, and was on her way to the lobby. She met up with some hostile glares. All three coming from Aaron, Rusty and Sarah Jo.

"Just when you think you can't go any lower than what you did," Aaron snapped, "someone throws you a shovel."

"You've never had any scruples," Sarah Jo glared at her, "not even in college!"

"When you ruin people's lives," Rusty sneered, "you never know when to quit, do you?"

"It's not enough that you ruin my life," Aaron said angrily, "but now you have to ruin my family's life too?! What kind of creature are you?"

Jennifer smiled. "I take it you all are mad at me again?" she said.

"Sarah Jo called my family," Aaron said, "and then my mother called me and told me what you did! What's this I hear about you cooking the books and skimming profits from the restaurants?! Not just from Elixir, but from Ether as well?!"

"Don't play innocent with us, bitch!" Rusty snapped angrily, "your shenanigans nearly wiped the restaurants out!"

"Luckily for you," Aaron said angrily, "the restaurants were saved, thanks to some parties that were held. The restaurants are saved, but now Mom and Dave want to sell Elixir! You nearly wiped them out! Don't you give a damn about your behavior anymore? You are just way beyond reckless!"

"I did what I thought would be best for the restaurant," Jennifer defended herself hotly, "and you and your parents don't get that."

"Listen to me, Jennifer Barrett," Rusty snapped, "Dave and Cathy have been running restaurants for years. Aaron grew up in it, so did Nate and Jason! Because of you, now Cathy and Dave are selling the restaurant. I talked with Dave and Cathy last night to tell them that they are getting my shares too! Now that they are in control, they are selling the place. You nearly wiped out a popular restaurant all because of your being super selfish!"

"Do you not see what you are doing?!" Sarah Jo said furiously, "You are spiraling yourself downward. You're burning all your bridges behind you."

"Why the hell do you care, you traitor?" Jennifer snapped.

"Because I think you are a liability," Sarah Jo snapped, "a major one that this place cannot afford to maintain. I talked with casting, and they are in the process of firing you, Jennifer. You are too reckless to be believed. I think you've gone way too far, and you have to be stopped before someone else gets hurt."

Joan Ferguson came out, "Sarah Jo," she said, "I think you should see this."

Sarah Jo was astonished with the slipshod work on some invoices that Jennifer had worked on.

"Can these be fixed?" Sarah Jo asked.

"Yes, they can be," Joan said.

"Let me see them, Ms. Ferguson," Aaron said, and looked them over.

"This is easy to fix," he smiled, "do you have a way of getting some new invoices faxed?"

Joan smiled, "Indeed," she said, "and here they are. I had some copies faxed this morning."

Aaron looked them over. He took care of it in short order.

He showed them to Sarah Jo. "Is that what it should be?" he asked.

Sarah Jo smiled, "To the exact letter and number!" she said with glee, "thank you, Aaron, that would have been a major disaster had it not been fixed."

Jennifer glared at her former husband. "Of course," she snapped, "Aaron fixed it all up again! Please!"

"I fixed up a mistake you made!" Aaron seethed, "You are so beyond careless. Your mistakes could have been costly to this resort, and they were nearly fatal towards Elixir! You can't be trusted, Jennifer, can't you see that?!"

"She needs to be out of any position like this," Joan said, "now you see what I mean."

"She will be," Sarah Jo assured her second in command, "she will not be in any position as long as I am around. Jennifer, you can remain here as a guest, but your employment is terminated."

Jennifer, in a rage, stormed off. She was fortunate that she would stay as a guest, but was furious that her mistakes had been exposed again.

Rusty received a call from Libby Smas.

"Did you confront her on what she did?" she asked Rusty.

"Yes, we did," Rusty said, "and she didn't even care."

"I thought she was my friend," Libby said sadly, "how could she treat people like that?

"She lied to all of us," Rusty said sadly, " she was totally a phony. What was the consensus upon hearing the decision?"

"Well, we all had a meeting," Libby said, "after you called Dave and Cathy and told them what your plans are. As you are no doubt aware, the restaurant is being sold; most of us are without a job, although there are some plans on some people's fronts. Darren is out of a job, so am I; Joan and Albie have sold their penthouse and are trying to find what they are going to do too. Jason is thinking of moving too. We don't know what is going on. Andrea Kerr is staying in town to go to med school at UCLA."

Rusty had an idea. "Libby, hang on a second," he said, "maybe I can help you."

He, Sarah Jo and Aaron had a quick meeting. Joan was wondering.

"Listen, Libby," Rusty said, "why don't you guys all come here? You, Darren, Jason, Albie and Joan. The place is plenty big, and Albie can write to his heart's content. I know the manager and I am sure we can find you a job that will be worthy of you all."

"We can't move on short notice," Libby said, "it will take us a few days to get things done."

"You take the time you need," Rusty said, "since Cathy and Dave will be with you, no worries. We can handle the sale from here. I know a business realty company here in Orlando that has an office in LA, we can go from there."

"Sounds good," Libby said, "we'll be in contact when we get ready to go."

"Very good," Rusty said, "Dave and Cathy will be coming for the holidays, so they will be here soon before you all will be."

"That is good news," Libby smiled, "thanks, Rusty. See ya." The connection was broken.

"Wow," Sarah Jo said, "she really did a number on everyone."

"Jennifer's recklessness has claimed some more victims," Rusty said.

"This time, it has to stop now," Aaron said, "for everyone at Elixir, my parents, and for Aidan. She has to be stopped now."
