"I would love some coffee." Lisa said as she took off her wet coat. She had not realized how cold she was until she had a chance to stop. Now she felt like she was chilled to the bone.

She heard the man on the phone. "Hey, boss, this is Jason at the front gate. I got a woman down here named Lisa Stevens, her car broke down and she seems to have been walking a while. Her phone isn't working and needs a place to warm up and dry off. I was wondering if I could bring her up there and try to see if there is anyone who will come out here in this weather to help her." Lisa listened to the one sided conversation.

"Yes,sir, she is young, around 25 I'd say. Sure she is pretty. She is also a little blue from the cold." Jason was smiling at her.

"Okay, I will send her right up. Thanks." Jason hung up the phone. "I think he is looking at the video from the front gate and knows you were listening so decided to try to embarrass me. He is a great guy, don't let him mess with you too much. I have worked for him for a long time he seems like a horrible monster, but he is a teddy bear at heart." Jason said, seeming to be talking a little loudly.

"You aren't supposed to be telling my secrets. I am a horrible monster, Lisa, don't believe him." Lisa could hear the laughter in the melodic voice that came out of nowhere. Jason was laughing.

"Sorry, sir, were you listening, I didn't realize." He said.

"Yeah, I am sure. Please send the young lady up. I believe we can get her some dry clothes. I have Greta calling around to the garages, but no one will come out because of the snow. Apparently, we are in for a nice little ice storm. Please be careful that you don't get lost on you way up after your shift. I would hate to have to explain your mysterious disappearance to Greta. For some reason, she seems to like you a little." They heard a click as the intercom shut off.

The giant of a man laughed loudly. "Greta is his secretary and my wife. He is always telling her she should dump me. We grew up together, so I never take him seriously. Here, you can wear my coat. It may be a bit big, but you will be warmer. I will have one of the guys bring it back after my shift ends." Jason helped her to shrug into his coat and opened the door for her.
