Janet Stein groaned in frustration, slamming her phone on the kitchen counter.

"'Sup mom?" Chase greeted.

Janet looks up, "Morning Chase..."

"Somethin wrong?" Chase asked.

"Its the tabloids." Janet annoyed. "There spreading lies against your father's company... we need someone who can write something good about Nemo." Chase smirks, Janet looks at her son, "You wouldn't happen to know someone, would you?"

Chase chuckled, "Oh you know her too, but she might not be too keen in helping you."

"Who?" Victor walks in.

"Two words," Chase smirked, "Hana Minoru. She wrote the 'Dear Amanda' column for years in Atlas. Plus, she wrote essays that are used in the 12th grade level at 13. You need someone to write an article about Nemo, Hana's your girl." Chase smirks as he looks at his phone. "Here's some free advice, Hana loves..."

Hours later, Janet knocks on Minoru's door. Tina answers the door:

"What?!" Tina asked in annoyance, "It's date night

"What?!" Tina asked in annoyance, "It's date night..."

"Okay?" Janet sighs, "I just... need to talk to Hana..."

Tina sighs, "She's not here... in case you weren't listening, it's date night; Hana and her sisters stay as far as possible to where Robert and I are during date night... so can you shoo?" Tina rolls her eyes and exasperates, "She's probably still at the LA Sanctum."

Janet smiled, "Thank you." and ran to her car.

Tina shook her head and closed the door.

Janet ran to the LA Sanctum's entrance, as she walk towards the lady in the front desk she asked, "Is Hana Minoru in?"

"Yes," the lady replied in a snobby French accent, "do you have an appointment?"

Janet shook her head, "No, but I'm a family friend."

"No appointment, no seeing Ms. Minoru."

Janet walked straight in the door; the lady chased her, "Ma'am..."

"It's fine, Claire." Hana dismissed her secretary. As soon as she was gone, Hana glared at Janet, "What?" she spat.

Janet sighs, "Listen, Hana, Nemo has some PR issues and..."

"And you're here to ask for my help?" Hana clapped her hands together, "Wow! After what you've put my family through- my mother- you've got some nerve waltzing in my office and demanding for my help. Tell me Janet, did they not teach you manners in West Virginia?"

"I told Chase this wasn't gonna work." Janet thought aloud.

Hana was shocked, "Chase sent you here?"

"Well, yeah." Janet nods, "He said you wrote in the school's newspaper, that you were the best writer he knows... I read some of your research paper about the String Theory and Government's Treatment of Non-White Women, as well as, the one about the Fair Skin Preference of the World; they were all phenomenal. I didn't know you had such a diverse interest..."

Hana looked at the older woman, "You are a Karen, Janet. But you're right, I do have various interest and yes, I am an excellent writer. If I do this you have to promise me that isn't my father's."

Janet put her hands on her belly, "She's Victor's..."

"Then lets get to work!" Hana clapped her hands together.
