Jeff sat down at his desk with a sigh. It had been a long day. But there was one last chore he needed to do tonight. He pressed the button to activate Lady Penelope's picture. After a moment the painting disappeared to be replaced by the lady herself.

"Hello, Jeff," she said. "I see you made it home safely. Is everything all right? How is Dianne?"

"Dianne is fine. She just went to sleep. I'm about to do the same, but I wanted to talk to you first."

Penelope raised an elegant eyebrow. "Is anything wrong? Any security problems?"

"No, actually everything is beginning to be right. But I do have a security concern for you."

"Oh?"

"We have a new agent. I need you to do a background check."

"This person is already an agent and you want me to do a check after the fact?"

Jeff grimaced. "It kind of had to be this way. I don't know if Dianne talked to you about hiring a counselor before her 'accident'."

"No, she hadn't. A counselor for Callie?"

"Callie, Elise, Dom and," here Jeff hesitated for a second, "Tyler."

"Oh, dear. More trouble like after the tsunami?"

Jeff nodded. "We found him throwing up on the way home. He hadn't been eating all week. I was getting desperate. Dianne had interviewed Anna and liked her. She came out to the island to see Tyler today."

Penelope blinked in surprise. "She came to the island?"

"She felt it would upset Tyler less. And I agreed. I didn't tell her about International Rescue then, though."

"Then. She knows now?"

Jeff nodded and told her about Tyler's breakdown and the 'funny story' to tell his mom.

"You like her and trust her already." It was a statement, not a question.

"Yes," Jeff replied. "But I still want a background check on her and her husband. I don't expect any problems about her, but if there might be problems, I want to know about them. And anything about her husband. I haven't discussed becoming an agent with her, but I think she'd be a good one."

Penny looked thoughtful. "Give me the particulars and I'll get started. Have you considered putting Tracy Industries security on this also? It would be reasonable to check up on her since she will be working with your child and your employees."

"True. I'll put them on it." Jeff gave her all the information he had then seemed to change the subject. "When do you plan on visiting the island?"

"In a few days. I have a few things to do here first."

Jeff grinned again. He knew Penelope very well. "Anna will be here for a week, if you want to meet her."

"I do. In fact, I'm looking forward to it."
