Late the next day Elise was in the flight control room at Tracy Industries. The room was located above the Penthouse Suites, but below the rooftop. The room had maps and controls and flight info and also a small lounge, complete with a comfy couch and coffee maker, for pilots to use in between flights. Elise was munching on a donut, having finished her coffee, and was waiting for Mr. Yoshimoto's arrival. Her pre-flight check was completed, so all she had to do now was kill some time. Flicking through a magazine, she had just started to read an article when the intercom sounded. Walking over to it, she hit the switch and spoke.

"Elise Collins here, go ahead."

The deep voice of Jeff Tracy startled her. "Elise, we won't be needing the chopper tonight. Mr. Yoshimoto will be staying with us another day, but before you go, if you have a moment, I would like to see you."

Frowning, she answered, "Is there a problem, sir?"

"No, not at all, I need to ask a favor of you, so please come down to my penthouse Ooffice suites in about 5 minutes."

"Yes, sir."

Standing outside the office of Jeff Tracy was a little nerve racking to say the least, but Elise knocked and patiently waited. Jeff answered and smiled, making her feel immediately more at ease.

"Thank you for coming, please do come in." Jeff gestured with his hand as he held the door open.

Impressive! was the first thought to cross Elise's mind as she entered the spacious, luxurious office. Mr. Tracy obviously spares no expense when it comes to creature comforts. She thought about her own mediocre, but cozy apartment. Jeff walked behind his desk and sat down, indicating that she should do the same in one of the leather chairs opposite his desk.

"I hear you're enjoying your new position with us, and I've had glowing reports about your skills as a pilot."

"Thank you, sir, and yes, I'm enjoying it very much."

He paused and looked at her, and she later would swear he had a twinkle in his eye when he asked his next question. "Are you, by chance, the pilot Scott was with when there was a near collision with the Fireflash?" Jeff couldn't help himself, he had to ask. When Scott had told him about the incident, Jeff had laughed at his son's vivid recollections of the entire episode.

Elise sat there quietly. Her prayers had gone unanswered. She had prayed for the ground to open up and swallow her... it hadn't and it didn't. She had no choice but to answer him.

"Yes, sir. It was an incident with one of the first prototypes of the Fireflash, sir. That aircraft didn't go into commercial service until after Scott and I had left the Air Force... sir."

Jeff noticed how deliberately slow her words were, and found himself struggling not to laugh. "Well, I'm glad my son was in such capable hands at the time."

"Thank you," was the small, meek reply.

"Now that's out of the way..." Jeff moved onto the reason he'd asked Elise to come to his office. "Elise, I asked you down here because I'm in need of a pilot for a private trip I need to make to New Hampshire. I'm looking into buying some real estate as a surprise gift for my wife. The only day I can manage this trip is Saturday. I'm aware that day is your day off, but I want an experienced pilot and wanted to give you the first opportunity to refuse."

Elise digested all of this and knew she wouldn't say no. "Of course, Mr. Tracy! I'd be honored to fly you to New Hampshire on Saturday."

"Good! That's settled then." Jeff then gave her flight times and a few details and Elise almost bounced out of his office.

I'm going to be Jeff Tracy's personal pilot! Adding that thought to the fact that Jeff had told her she would be piloting his own elite private helijet, Elise was feeling on top of the world, and couldn't wait to get airborne.
