"Why don't I serve you both and you can decide." said Rose.

"May I have a booth in the corner." he said.

Rose replied "We normally do not open the back room during the afternoon, but I think we can make an exception in your case."

"Good afternoon Mr. Phelps. The woman you are currently looking at is Laura Spencer. Last year, she and her husband, Luke Spencer, along with former World Security Bureau agent Robert Scorpio, prevented the powerful Cassadine family from seizing control of the world using a weather control machine. 4 days ago, Laura disappeared on her way home. Intelligence reports that the Cassadine family, in particular, this man, Stavros Cassadine, the new head of the Cassadine family, has kidnapped her. The Cassadine family is determined to pay back the Spencers for their interference in their plans and for the deaths of Tony and Mikkos Cassadine, and the imprisonment of Victor Cassadine. Due to the Cassadine's influential position, local law enforcement is unable to be of any assistance. You mission Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to rescue Laura and to eliminate the Cassadine threat once and for all. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Good luck Jim."
