Aylin pulls into the parking lot of The Mount Sinai Hospital. She knew the woman who smashed her front windshield had been taken to this hospital. The windshield company her insurance company used was coming out to her place to replace her windshield. Terry was coming out to her place to give her an estimate of how much the bodywork was going to cost to the rear end of her BMW. She knew Dakota would submit the cost to her insurance company and let Terry repair her car.
Aylin parks the Subaru she drove and parks it in an empty parking space. She still had the car from when she and Mark drove back from
Montana with Bree. Aylin gets out and walks towards the front entrance to the hospital. She stopped at the reception desk to confirm the woman who smashed into her windshield was there and what room she was in. Normally, the hospital wouldn’t give that information out, but she was well known.
Aylin takes the elevator up to the floor where the woman’s room is. She waves hello to the nurses on duty. Two of them she recognized from when they volunteered at an event for the homeless.
Aylin manages to sneak into the woman’s hospital room and place the flowers she bought at the gift shop on the window sill. She noticed the woman was still unconscious. She takes her cell phone out and scans the woman’s fingerprints. Then she takes a picture of the woman’s face and runs the image through the facial recognition program.
While Aylin is waiting for the results. She noticed the poor woman had an oxygen hose going to her nose and an IV going into her right hand. Where the spears went through the woman’s shoulders. They were bandaged up as well. She wonders where the suit was that the woman was wearing when she was brought to the hospital. She looks in the closet and notices it is hanging up inside.
Aylin examines the suit and notices the wings are missing, but the rest of the suit is there. She could see on the back of the suit, where the wings could come through. However, there weren’t any wings. The suit itself felt like it was made of ballistic material like her husband's suit.
After thirty minutes, the woman’s identity pops up from the Department of Motor Vehicles records. It also shows an FBI file on her. The file shows where she had applied for a special weapons permit. As for her DMV record, it showed her name being: Teela Falco, her address being 55 Sweet Flower Rd. New York, New York. Aylin knew the address was in the Brooklyn section of New York. Aylin looks down at the poor woman and wonders why she went after the men in the truck.
Aylin leaves a handwritten note for the woman before she leaves. As Aylin steps out of the unknown woman’s hospital room. She stops at the nurse’s station and informs the nurse tending to the young woman, that Helping Hands will be taking care of hospital bills.
Aylin heads towards her office afterward. She stops along the way at her favorite coffee shop, which also serves tea. She greets the barista behind the counter.
“How has your morning been, Mrs. Jagger?” Carollyn liked serving Mrs. Jagger. She always left a nice tip.
She was also funny and friendly to people she didn’t know. Carollyn knew Mrs. Jagger had an organization that helped the homeless and low-income people. She knew the organization also did everything it could for veterans as well.
“Quiet, how about yours, Carollyn?” Aylin smiles at the young woman.
Aylin knew Carollyn was in her late teens. Carollyn would be turning eighteen in a few months and was taking college courses at New York University. Carollyn’s parents were hard-working people. Carollyn’s mother was a nurse and her father was a garbage collector.
“Busy, which is good. Because the more coffee and tea we serve, the happier people will be.” Carollyn was a people person, but she had big dreams.
“That’s good. You know what I like.” Aylin smiles at the young woman. She hopes one day Carollyn gets what she wants. And if it is possible, she’ll make sure Carollyn does.
“One large unsweetened English tea, coming up.” A smile appears on Carollyn’s face as she prepares the tea.
Aylin waits nearby as Carollyn prepares her tea and fills several other orders. While she is waiting for her tea. A rude guy comes bragging into the coffee shop and demands to be served right away. She steps close to him and when he starts giving one of the other baristas working with Carollyn a hard time and starts insulting the person.
Aylin pretends to trip and punch the person in his side with three fingers. She aims for his kidney, and when he winces from the poke. She steps on his right foot and digs her heel into his foot. She also elbows him in the stomach, while making it look like it was all by accident.
By the time Aylin was finished with her accidental movements. The guy just left the place, without getting his coffee. Aylin noticed that Carollyn was smirking at her.
A smile appears on Aylin’s face, as she pays for her tea and leaves.

Some things don't change
Aylin knows how to take care of troublesome people. She has just toned her actions down a bit. Low-key can get the job done and it's less messy.

This is a good story
I'm loving it so far, the mystery, suspence a little action & Drama mixed in SO FAR lol. I'm like Arlin on this one what was Ms. Falcon doing especially with that truck. I have a feeling Arlin might have a new agent in the wings (pun intended).
Love Samantha Renée Heart.
