For Zola, to assuage her concerns about Roger's health and welfare:
===
Roger Smith drove back home in the Griffon, his head stuffed up and certain by now that he had a fever. Despite any physical pain, he was happy to know his family was safe. He turned the Griffon into the garage and shut the car off, getting out slowly and making his way to the elevator. A short ride up and the elevator doors opened. He went to the fireplace and tossed the pieces of the R.D. disk into the flames and watched them burn. When he turned around, there stood his wife.
“My hero.” She stepped into his embrace and placed her head against his chest. Suddenly, Roger was feeling a little better. Much more so when she pulled him down by his shirt collar so she could kiss him. “Norman took the children over to Dan and Angel’s for a while. I thought it would be nice for us to have a little time together, all alone.”
By now she was tugging at his belt and had a devilish look on her face. She was leading him slowly, but surely to the bedroom. “You should get some rest, negotiator. You’ve had a long day.”
Roger smiled, following along behind his wife. “Why do I get the feeling that I won’t be getting any rest anytime soon?” He collapsed in the bed and let his wife put a warm blanket overtop of him.
Dorothy smiled, and slipped under the blanket beside him. “Oh, there will be plenty of time for rest, my dear. Just not right now.” She reached over to the bedside table and turned off the light.
