Tracy Industries D.C. offices; Tuesday, March 27, 4 PM (9 AM March 28 on T. I.)

Lena returned from a meeting and, as she always did, checked for messages first. She was surprised and a little worried to see she had an email from Jeff. She thought it might have to do with an incident from a few days ago.

Leonard Peterson had emailed Tracy Industries I&M supervisors in other states, complaining about her and calling her presumptuous. He intimated that she was trying to grab assignments that should rightfully go to those with more experience and seniority. Two of the people who received the email informed her of it. They had communicated with her off and on during the years she had been with Tracy Industries, and knew her well enough not to believe what he had said. She'd replied, telling them the basic facts about what had happened and left it at that.

Considering the incident closed, she had forgotten about it. Now she realized that it wasn't. She opened the message and read:

Lena,

Word reached me that Leonard Peterson tried to make trouble for you. I had someone investigate the rumor, and found out what occurred. I have come to the conclusion, based on this and other reports about him, that he does not belong with Tracy Industries in any capacity, and he has been fired.

Now the problem is to find someone to replace him. You told me that some of his staff would be more than qualified, and I agree, having looked over their records. But I need someone to check them out personally, with an eye to how the staff would handle one of their own being promoted to their supervisor, and how that person would act toward his or her former peers. I believe you would have the insight and objectivity to do this. None of my employees there have that, so I'm asking you to go there for a few days and work with them, then give me your recommendations.

You would, of course, stay in the penthouse. If you wish to take some of your family with you and make it a working vacation, feel free to do so. The records of each of the employees are attached to this email. Look them over and, if you decide to accept, please let me know. I'll have the company jet fly you and your guests up and back.

Jeff Tracy

She opened the attachment and read the records. It seemed to her that there were two or three who had the qualifications and the seniority for the job, but she knew - as Jeff did - that more was needed for it. She smiled, as she realized it would be a new challenge, and one she began to feel eager to accept. She chuckled, thinking about Jeff's offer to let her bring some of her family with her. I'd love to take dem all, but I doubt even de Tracy penthouse could hold dem. And de place would never be de same. But, maybe . . . She began to make some calls.
