Falco Special Effects, New York:
Emily examines the artificial wings she helped create. She managed to retrieve them after Teela was taken to the hospital. The ER doctor couldn’t cut through the harness that Teela wore when she used the wings. She was also relieved her best friend and business partner was okay.
The custom-designed stunt suit had protected Teela when she took a grenade to her chest.

Emily still couldn’t get over the fact that their shipper had gotten their fake weapon shipment mixed up. Also, how the people who took their box truck were able to track them down in a city like New York. She uses the high-power magnifying glass to go over the artificially created feathers on the wing to make sure none of them have been damaged. It takes days to create them in their 3D printer.

After spending three hours examining each wing. Emily flips the wings over and checks the skeleton structure on the wing. The lightweight special metallic bone structure was still intact. She conducts a low-level electrical check and watches as the wings try to lift off the examination table. She monitors the energy flow and finds they are within the parameters they set.

“Well, the wings are fine.” Emily puts the wings back on their stand to charge.

She stretches and listens as bones in her body pop. She was still feeling the after-effects of when she crashed her ultralight when she was younger. She spent several months in a body cast.

She picks up her cell phone and calls the hospital to check on Teela. Once the reception desk answers her and redirects her call. She gets to the nurse's station “Hi, I’m calling to check on Teela Falco's condition.”

“Can I ask who is calling?” Nurse Callahan was holding the phone with her head against her shoulder as she made an entry into the computer.

“I’m calling about Teela Falco in room 4B. What is her condition.” Emily was worried about her friend.

“What is your relationship to Ms. Falco?”

“She’s my business partner and roommate. You should have me listed as her emergency contact.” Emily knew Teela had put her down as her emergency contact.

Nurse Callahan checked Ms. Falco’s medical file and noticed that Emily Tesla had been added to her file as an emergency contact and to make medical decisions for her.

“Ms. Falco is still unconscious, but her vitals are normal, Ms. Tesla.”

“Can you call me, if she wakes up, please?” Emily wanted to be there for her friend.

“I’m making a note of your request in her medical file.” Nurse Callahan makes a note in Ms. Falco’s medical file.

“Thank you.”

Emily ends the phone call. She hopes Teela wakes up soon. She logs onto her laptop and orders some lunch. Afterward, she went through several emails and special orders their company received.

Helping Hands, New York:
Aylin was sitting at her desk looking over the budget for the next several months. So, far the company had plenty of cash for all the projects they had going on. She leans back in her desk chair and thinks about the information she received from visiting the box truck last night.

The truck had been loaded with special effects gear and several crates filled with weapons. The thing was, the weapons were fake. They looked and felt like the real thing, but they weren’t.

When she researched the person online, she learned that Ms. Falco was a special effects artist. She was also registered as a stunt person. As for the company she owned. She had a partner that was part owner of it. The two of them were childhood friends. According to their Facebook pages, Ms. Falco and her partner Ms. Tesla have some of the same interests.

Both of them attended MIT and had master's degrees in engineering and electronics. However, it seemed that Ms. Falco had a degree in physics as well. The two of them did stunt work to pay for their degree and a few special effect jobs for independent groups.

The company they own together was started while they were at MIT. Aylin was impressed by that. She knew it took a lot of courage and work to balance both things.

After she reviewed notes on Ms. Falco and why she did what she did. She now understood why she went after the people who stole her box truck. Now, she just needs to speak to Ms. Falco.
