"Hmmmmmmm." Hal muttered again.

"No, I know who I'll send out to meet with her." he said.

"I know JUST the person." he told her.

"Where is she?" he asked.

"Which is to say, where is she staying? You have an address?" he asked her further.

"Ah, I remember the Fyrane manor." Hal replied.

"I'll have someone out there by the middle of next week." he told her.

".....now, then." he muttered.

"Is there anything else?" he asked her.

"Otherwise, I think it's dinner time." he commented, looking at the food.

"After all, your food is the best food."

Hal just nodded, and dug into the food.

-About a week later-

The car pulled into the driveway of the Fyrane manor, and the man stepped out, stretching his legs and arms.

"Loooong drive." he muttered.

"But it beats flying." he said.

He then made his way to the front door of the manor, paused a moment, and then rang the doorbell.

"Hope someone's home."

"Ah, hello." the man responded, before digging in his pocket and producing an ID badge that looked to be extremely official... and lawful.

"Agent Tyson King. Special Unit 3, San Diego division." he introduced himself.

"I am here to see a Mister Lindsay Fyrane." he told the teen.

"As well as a Miss.... Hazel, I believe." he then added.

"Are either of them home?" he asked.

Ty nodded and made his way to the den, sitting down in one of the chairs and waiting.

Meanwhile, at her father's office, the teen heard a voice from inside.

"Come in." she heard.

When she stepped in, she saw her father there, along with Hazel.

"Hazel and I were having a little chat, is all." Lindsay told her.

"Is something the matter?" he then asked.

"Huh. I see." Lindsay replied.

"Thanks, Sammy." he said to his daughter.

Then, as she left, he looked at Hazel.

"I guess we should go see what's going on." he told her.

"Find out who would want to see the both of us."

The two of them made their way down to the den, with Lindsay stopping for a moment when he saw who it was.

"Agent King?" he asked.

"Good afternoon, Doctor Fyrane." Ty responded.

He then looked at Hazel, and smiled a little.

"And you must be Hazel." he commented.

"Tyson King, Special Unit 3." he introduced himself.

"Please, do sit down." Lindsay told Hazel, as they sat down on the couch across from Ty.

"What can we do for you, Agent King?" he then asked the man.

"I am here to offer an opportunity to Miss Hazel." Tyson responded.

"An opportunity?" Lindsay inquired.

"The Unit in San Diego wishes to help you, Miss Hazel." Tyson said to the woman. "We understand you have been seeing Doctor Fyrane for help, but it can only go so far. We can help you take it further. We can help you recover who you were before your dealings with... a certain individual." he went on.

"You mean, wrench her free of Vanessa's mental conditioning?" Lindsay asked him.

"Precisely." Tyson confirmed.

"Miss Hazel, you must be feeling... confused... scared... like something just isn't right, and it needs to be 'fixed', so to speak." he commented to Hazel. "Let us help you. Let us help you find the individual buried deep within your psyche, and bring her forth, so you can be... you, again."

"I have heard of how she worked." Tyson responded.

"Perhaps I was a little unclear with what I said, however." he then said.

"You may think there's no one to recover, but the Fyrane boys are proof that there is." he told her. "They were taken at an extremely young age, but they are who they are now." he went on.

"Now, obviously nurture plays a big factor, but many of us believe that nature does as well. There's a 'you' somewhere deep in there. One that never got a chance to develop." he explained.

"Will you let us try and find that seed that was never allowed to grow?" he asked her.

Lindsay just sighed.

"I haven't been-" he started to say, before pausing suddenly. "Okay, maybe I HAVE been." he admitted. "But only out of concern for you." he told her.

"A sign that you're a good doctor and a good person." Ty commented.

"However, as good as you are, you are one person, with one person's resources." he said. "You've laid the groundwork. A solid foundation for her to build upon. Let us help her build on that, with all the resources and people we have to offer." he told him.

"...I'm all right with that, if SHE is." Lindsay responded.

"It it DOES sound like she is." he added.
