"And what are your thoughts on them, I wish I could have seen it, but you were there?" Ray asked as she smirked.

"Personally, I get how the public feels, most of the show support for those 5, they seem to display honorable traits, but there is a handful cautious about mammals acting outside the law" Daisy replied as Ray turned to her adjusting his glasses.

"And you?" Ray asked as Daisy cleared her throat, thinking about what to say.

"Personally I welcome them, I could use the publicity and they seem press-friendly, especially that Apollo, what a boy scout" Daisy replied as Ray smiled.

"Skating helmet, considering it done, I'll give it to you when we meet for lunch" Ray decided as Daisy looked at him.

"What today, I mean I wasn't expecting you to, I was just thinking out loud" Daisy defended not wanting to come off as needy as Ray smiled.

"Nonsense, money is no object, and safety is always important" Ray replied as Daisy chuckled.

"Now you sound like Apollo" Daisy complemented as Ray bit his digit looking at the young rabbit, concerned he might have indirectly revealed his hero identity.

Ray entered with full confidence into his oversized office.

"You must be Raymond Sterling," a beaver said in nasal-blocked tone looking at the Lion towering over him as he bent down on his knees, shaking paws with the beaver.

"And you must be Charlie Damwood, the representative from Javelin, coffee" Ray offered walking over to a coffee pot pouring a cup as he handed it to the small beaver who graciously took it taking a sip before handing a file to Ray as the Lion looked it over.

"These are the schematic for our new Javelin models, the Matchbox, The Shark and the Gladiator" Damwood explained as Ray looked over the three model cars. the matchbox was a small muscle car, obviously intended for rodents, the Shark, was a more medium-sized sports car with a lot of curves and lastly, the Gladiator was a large van intended for large animals, which was pretty basic as Ray sipped his coffee.
