Business as Usual

Amanda warns Laura about Marco

 

Business as Usual

 

 

 

The next three days, the girls kept up their normal training and school schedule. It was hard to think about the weekend promotion with the intense training schedule. Kevin, Helen and Laura all carried out their normal work duties while their friends were quietly making sure Marco would be sent packing. One development no one could have seen coming was the rapid recovery of one Amanda Price.

Laura was surprised when her new hire showed up for work on Wednesday morning. Her face was not completely healed, but she was ready both physically and mentally to go to work.

Laura did not know the connection between Marco and Amanda, but it was soon to come to light as she placed Amanda on the standby detail with her.

“That’s my cousin’s station” Amanda informed Laura. “I’d be glad to help out on that.”

Amanda breezed through the next three days as well and Laura was pretty confident in her ability and integrity. Although not quite ready for flight status, Amanda was a big help around the office and during shift changes. She made sure the helicopters were always stocked and ready to fly. 

“You have to watch Marco, Laura” she said when Laura had asked her about her cousin. “He’s rumored to have ties to the mob. No one in the family really trusts him and we don’t dare cross him.”
