"Ow, fuck..." Jennifer rubbed her eyes in an attempt to clear her mind and alleviate the colossal headache that had woken her up. She was groggy, and the dryness in her mouth was a sure sign that she had been out of it for more than a couple of minutes; that, and she was in Nate's vehicle again, only this time in the company of the tattooed stranger. 

"I take it none of you died? What a shame." Jennifer wasn't expecting a response, and truth be told, she didn't want one. Instead, she motioned for one of the Nates sitting next to her to undo her seatbelt. When he only gave her the typical Nate look, she sighed in frustration and unbuckled it herself. Using her two hands, not that she had much of a choice because she was, as one might have guessed, still handcuffed, Jennifer reached into her bag to fetch her phone. She frowned upon her discovery that it only had a 12% battery charge, so she hurried through the contact list until she found the name she was looking for and proceeded to dial out. After a couple of rings, Jennifer felt a dash of relief when the person on the other end of the line finally picked up.

[i]"Hello?"[/i]

"Hey, it's Jen. Can you do me a favor?" 

[i]"Yes, of course. Is everything all right?"[/i]

"Yes, everything's fine. Listen, I need you to do something for me. I need you to void the contract, effective immediately." 

There was a short pause before Harrison spoke again.

[i]"Jenny, I--"[/i]

"Don't, I already know what you're going to say. I'll be expecting a copy of the file within the next few minutes. And Harrison? I'm not asking you anymore, I'm telling you."

Not caring for anything further he had to say, Jennifer hung up the phone and turned to Nate. "I don't know where we're heading, but I'm going to need you to take these off now so that I can put some shoes on and be on my way. And don't worry about your job, Harrison knows not to blame you for the breach of contract." 

Jennifer smiled triumphantly knowing that it was only a couple of minutes before she could walk out and never looked back. She didn't care whose mess this was, but she wasn't going to keep risking her life because someone wanted to play "Curious George".
