Terry looks at Sam. "How do you see your future Sam?"

Sam looks terrified. "I don't know. I don't dare think about it. My mother is close to a nervous breakdown. School, ..."

"I know you're still very young, just turned 17, but would you be interested in my former job? You're quite good in thinking out solutions, research and development." Sam looks at Terry in disbelief.

"Come on Sam, take it" cheer Mandy and Madison.

"But ... but ... do you think I'm up to it?"

"I do," says Terry and while she takes a letter from her handbag, "and so did somebody else." She hands the letter to Sam.

Dear Samantha,

When you read this, I will not be around anymore. I do sincerely hope it will take some years. In our business however a lifespan is very insecure.

If things go the way they were planned, Terry Quant will deliver this letter to you. As she will be my successor, her job becomes available.

I would be very pleased if you would be nice enough to take this job offer as our new research and development executive. I'm very proud for what you have achieved in the years you were one of my best agents. I know you will make a very good R&D executive.

Best regards from beyond

Jeremiah Lewis

Tears are flowing free from Sam's eyes. How could she say no? "Oh Jerry, I take the job." She manages to say between sobs. Mandy and Madison close in on her. "Group hug," cries Madison.

Some time later Sam and Bob are flying to Whoop HQ. "Bob, Did you know what was going to happen at Mandy's?"

"The medal I did, but the job offer was a surprise to me too, Sam."

"Do you think I can do it?"

"You'd better, my life may depend on one of your gadgets." Sam looks at him in surprise. "Are you leaving on a mission?"

"Sam they don't pay me to be a nurse."

Yes she gets it. Oh it was nice as long as it lasted. She watches his muscular figure and secure gestures as he flies the helicopter. Yes she can do it. She can make the difference between life and death. She will see to that.
