Teela flies back to where Emily was set up. The movie's director says he will contact the two people she had just met to get permission to use the footage Teela recorded in the film. Since no one is around, Teela takes the specially designed helmet off and wipes her forehead. She really needed to add more ventilation to the helmet.
“So, how did the footage come out?” Teela looks at Emily when she asks the question.
“It came out fine. Are you really thinking about working with those two?” Emily looks at her friend and partner.
“Yeah, I am. I could get used to fighting criminals.” Teela sets the helmet down on the table.
“You could also end up dead as well, Teela. I have heard those two go after people even cops won’t mess with. A third person who works with them is known on the streets as the Mad Hatter.”
“That’s because they are government agents, according to what the blonde-haired one said.” Teela shows the cards they gave her to Emily.
Emilly accepts them and looks at them. The playing card one intrigued her. She looks closer at it with her magnifying glasses and notices it has
microfine threads of circuity embedded in the card.
“As for the other one dressed as Blade. He said that I crashed into his wife’s car. I still need to go and thank her for paying my hospital bill.” Teela wanted to thank the woman for her kindness.
“About that. She’s the owner and director of Helping Hands. I looked into her during my off time.” Emily brings up the information she found on the web about the person.
Teela looks at the information and the picture of the woman. From what she could tell from the image of the woman. She was no older than her and Emily. The bio on her that someone did said she used to be a highly talented MMA fighter and had an impressive record of wins. She only lost twice and tied once. It also said she has a twin sister in England who owns a popular restaurant.
“This is the woman I owe for paying my hospital bill.”
“I don’t think you owe this woman anything except your thanks. It seems she is known to do these types of things. She’s into helping the homeless and veterans.” Emily was impressed with Aylin Jaager. She noticed that Aylin’s husband took her last name instead of the other way around.
“Still, it would be poor taste not to acknowledge what she did for me. See how much a fruit basket costs at Valerie’s and have it delivered to Mrs. Jaager saying thank you.”
“Okay, I’ll also make an appointment with her secretary so you can visit her.” Emily knew a social visit would go far.
“Thanks. Now, let’s finish filming these scenes so we can take the next few days off.” Teela puts her helmet back on and goes to find the director.
Several Hours later In the Afternoon:
Becky looks at the address on the gift basket she was given to deliver to Helping Hands. It was addressed to the director, Aylin Jaager. Becky takes the elevator to the floor where Mrs. Jaager’s office is. When she exits the elevator and enters the office. She spots a middle-aged woman with short, light brown hair sitting at a desk. She walks up to the desk.
Judy heard the door to Aylin’s office open and spotted a young woman with dark hair walking towards her desk carrying a huge basket. She was wearing a black polo shirt and baseball cap.
“Can I help you?” Judy looks at the young woman.
“Yes, ma’am. I have a delivery here for Aylin Jaager.” Becky looks at the other woman.
“You can leave it here with me, and I’ll ensure Mrs. Jaager gets it.”
“Okay.” Becky sets the basket down on the corner of the desk. She reaches behind her back and pulls out the company cell phone.
She takes a picture of the basket and then turns it towards the secretary. “I’m going to need a signature saying the delivery was made, ma’am.”
“Very well.” Judy reaches for the cell phone.
Becky hands the older woman the cell phone and stylus to write her name on the screen. She watches as the older woman signs the screen, saying the delivery was received.
Judy accepts the cell phone and stylus. She signs her name. She hands the pen and cell phone back to the young woman.
“Thank you, ma’am.” Just as Becky turns around to leave.
“Wait, here’s a tip for you.” Judy hands a ten-dollar bill to Becky.
Becky looks at the bill after accepting it. She looks back at the secretary. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Judy knew Aylin always gave delivery people ten dollars or more when they delivered items to her.
Becky leaves, happy that she got a tip. Most businesses she delivered to wouldn’t do something like that. She wouldn’t mind if she made more deliveries here.
Judy picks the basket up and knocks on Aylin’s office door.
“Enter.” Aylin looked up from some paperwork she was working on.
She spots Judy walking in carrying a large basket wrapped in clear cellophane. She watches as Judy approaches her desk.
“I have a delivery here for you.” Judy sets the basket on Aylin’s desk.
“Who’s it from?” Aylin stands up to see the contents better.
“I didn’t look, but it came from Valerie’s, and you know it will have good stuff in it.” Judy hands Aylin the card attached to the package.
Aylin opens the card, and on the inside, it reads Thank you, from Teela Falco.
“Isn’t that the person you had me paid all her medical bills for?” Judy looks at Aylin for an answer.
“Yes, it was. She didn’t need to do this.” Aylin opens the cellophane and looks at everything inside. It had a selection of teas, chocolates, candies, and various other items.
“Well, you’ll never run out of sweets or tea.” Judy knew her boss loved chocolates and candy.
“True, take what you want from it and set the rest out for the staff.” Aylin grabs the box of mixed tea bags and some of the chocolates.
“Are you sure, boss?” Judy looks at the small amount of items Aylin took.
“Yep, I’m sure.” Aylin put the items she grabbed into the second drawer of her desk.
“All right. Oh, what would you like for lunch? Are you going out or staying in?”
“I’m eating in today. Go ahead and order us some lunch from China Wall.” Aylin always buys her assistant lunch whenever she orders in.
“Thanks. Do you want your normal?” Judy knew Aylin loved pepper steak with pork fried rice.
“Yes, and order two extra egg rolls, please.”
“I’m on it.” Judy turns to leave after picking the basket up to drop off in the break room.
Aylin sits back down and goes back to what she was doing before she was disturbed.
