Lena heard her staff finishing up for the day, and went out to see if there was anything they had to relate. Tom told her that Michelle had gotten a last minute call and was staying to help get the problem corrected. She nodded.

"I have a few tings to clear up, myself. So I'll be here for a while longer." She saw that the young woman was deep in conversation. "If she gets off de phone, or has a minute before you go, please tell her."

"Oh, did you hear?" said Louise. "There was a news report on the radio that a ship collided with the Westminster Bridge. The Prime Minister and her family were crossing it at the time, and the mechanism that raises the bridge started on its own. The car is caught on the edge and is barely holding on. International Rescue has been called in." She paused for a moment. "Boy, it must be exciting to work with them. I wish I could. And it seems to me that they have expanded. In the reports I've seen or heard, it sounds like there are more people working for them now, especially women. In that one rescue in Argentina, one of the victims tried to sue a woman for hitting him, but couldn't find out who she was. It was suppressed pretty quickly, though, when one of his friends said the girl probably had to do so, since the guy wouldn't leave his apartment, which was about to collapse." She shook her head. "The stupidity of some people. They just don't want to be helped."

"I hadn't heard about dat, or about de current rescue. I'll have to check into it. Dat bridge is about two hundred years old, and a landmark. I hope it isn't destroyed."

After a few minutes more conversation, all the staff except Michelle headed home for the night. Lena went back to her office and checked the internet news services for information about the rescue, then returned to her work. She'd completed her regular tasks and was attempting to add a block to Brains' email virus scan for anything bearing the signature of the one that had gotten through.

Half an hour later, Michelle knocked on the open door, then said, "All done. Problem resolved, and I'm heading home. How about you?"

Lena looked up and smiled at her. "I'll be leaving in a bit. You go on and I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good evening."

"You too, Lena. Goodnight."

Lena worked a little while longer, then sighed and saved what she'd done. She knew she could access it from her home computer, but she was feeling tired. I'm glad I decided to take de train in today. I wouldn't want to drive, especially at dis hour. She checked the news on her computer once more, gathered her things together, went through her usual checks of the electrical outlets, and left.
