The next morning, Donny woke up and found himself holding one of his brothers who had his arms wrapped around him. He looked around the room and was surprised that he was in Leo's room.
"What's going on?" Donny asked in confusion.
"Feel any better now?" Leo asked with concern.
"What are you talking about? How'd I get in here?"
"You broke down last night. I carried you in here and held you until we both fell asleep."
"I'm just worried about Chloe."
"You want to talk about it?"
"Yes, but I told Chloe that I wouldn't say anything."
"What if I got Chloe and the three of us talk?"
"As long as she's fine with it."
"I'll go get her."
Leo pulled away from Donny, got out of bed, and left the room. A few minutes later, he came back with Chloe.
"Is everything OK?" Chloe asked with concern.
"Chloe, is there any way we could talk about what you told me last night?" Donny asked.
"If something's bothering you maybe we can help," Leo said.
Chloe explained how her supervisor treated her yesterday. Leo couldn't believe what he was hearing even though he knew Chloe wouldn't lie.
"Chloe, you can't quit like that," Leo said. "You need to report Eugene to Mr. Stapleman."
"If you don't report Eugene, he might do this to another woman if he hasn't done so already," Donny said. "It's not right that he's discriminating against you just because you're a young woman."
"All right, I'll go in a little early and talk to Mr. Stapleman," Chloe said. "Hopefully, he can deal with Eugene."
Just then, Mikey and Raph entered the room. Chloe filled them in on her situation.
"Good luck," Mikey said, wrapping his arms around Chloe who returned the gesture.
"If you want, I can drive you to your job," Raph offered.
"Thanks, that would be great," Chloe said while releasing Mikey.
"I'll go make breakfast now," Mikey said and then he and Raph left the room.
"I'm going to get dressed now," Chloe said.
"Go right ahead," Leo said.
"We'll meet you downstairs," Donny said.
Chloe, Donny, and Leo wrapped their arms around each other. A few minutes later, they released each other and Chloe and Donny left the room.
Later on, Raph dropped Chloe off at her job. Chloe went over to Mr. Stapleman's office and knocked on the door.
Chloe entered when Mr. Stapleman said to come in. Mr. Stapleman offered Chloe a seat and she sat down.
"What can I do for you, Chloe?" Mr. Stapleman asked.
"I was thinking of quitting my job," Chloe replied.
"Any reason why?"
"When I told Eugene that I was interested in computer programming, he said that was a man's job. Yesterday, he had me do secretarial and cleaning duties. I don't feel right working for someone like that."
"If I talk to Eugene, will you consider staying?"
"I'll consider it."
"To tell you the truth, this isn't the first time someone has quit or even requested to be transferred to another department because of Eugene but you're the first to explain what the problem is."
"He's done this before?"
"I plan to talk to the employees today that have transferred out of his department but I believe he has."
"That would be great."
"How about you come and see me before you start work in a couple hours and I'll fill you in on the situation?"
"Sounds good to me."
Chloe and Mr. Stapleman shook hands. Then Chloe left the office.
Chloe left the computer store. She met Raph in the alley.
"How'd it go?" Raph asked.
"Mr. Stapleman plans to talk to some of the employees that used to work in the computer department and then fill me in before I start work," Chloe replied.
"Good luck with that."
"Thanks."
"You hungry?"
"Actually, I am."
"Want to try the new Mexican restaurant?"
"Sure."
Raph put on his disguise which happened to be a red knitted cap, red jacket, red pants, and red boots. Then he and Chloe headed for the new Mexican restaurant.
