Ted woke up in the middle of nowhere with only multiple houses towering over him but in a mismatched appearance at the back of his car, he got out and struggled to open his eyes as everything around him was blurry. "What happened?" Ted looked around and found a note from Melanie. 'Hey sorry for leaving you by yourself, after the tour, you were having trouble sleeping so I brought you some sedatives and then you went to sleep, you're outside my house right now and if you want to come inside, call me first - Melanie. Ted exited Mayne's car and was about to call her when he realized that Mayne had tried calling him numerous times. "Ah crap!" He calls Mayne on the phone and waits for him to respond. "Ted?! Finally! It's been 7 hours since we last heard from you." Ted apologized and explain the situation. "Holy shit! Did you get to..." before Mayne could ask him, Bolt barged in on Mayne with a call from someone, "He says he wants to talk to Ted!" Mayne asked who it was but Bolt replied, "He says he won't answer as he wants to talk to Ted about something."
"I'll be back as soon as possible..." Ted jumped into the car and realized that it was in a stained mess, he drove it back to Mayne's bunker but saw that he was being followed, "Uh Mayne! I've got ACI-D on my back! I'll try and shake them off..." but Mayne told Ted to, "Bring them back to the bunker, it's high time we got ourselves a war." Ted did what he was told and led the ACI-D cars back to the bunker, as they travel the streets of Normalan, Ted begins having vivid visions about a district that was small yet happier than what Normalan was. He almost hit someone as he changed direction, and he found himself lost and unsure of where to go, the ACI-D had somehow disabled the GPS. He found himself cornered, "step out of the vehicle and into the ground, slowly!" he did what he was told and exit the car, he lay down on the ground, and police officers exit the vehicle and apprehend Ted.
"We have him sir over." one of the police officers was talking to someone on the walkie talkie, "good, bring him to Baxter mansion stat, over." said the person on the walkie talkie, "understood sir, bag him up!" they placed a sack on Ted's face and dragged him into a different car that was luxurious and not like ACI-D.
"So you must be Shaggy hair" the sack was taken off Ted temporarily, "do forgive my boss as he wishes to speak with you... I am Andrea Bellatrix... It's a pleasure to meet you." she offers her hand to shake and Ted does shake her hand, "likewise, may I ask why am I here?" Bellatrix placed her tablet away and explained the situation, "oh, where are my manners? My boss is thankful for you saving him approximately 10 hours earlier and not only does he wish to thank you but to hire you." Ted was surprised by what he heard, "I'm not sure if I'm the right person to hire." Ted said with no confidence in his tone. "You're not the only one who has said this... But please, don't mistake me for saying it, many of my boss's clients have seen this idea as skeptical and some even call it an embarrassment... But I trust in my boss that he made a swift decision." Ted felt small confidence growing, "Im sorry, you mentioned your boss, is your boss by any chance Robery Baxter himself?" she confirmed this to Ted, "Well, I'm willing to help out but... Unfortunately, there's something that he must know..." Bellatrix was surprised by this but she realized where they were now and instructed her men to put the sack back on Ted, "do forgive me, this is to prevent anyone from knowing Baxter's secret home. We'll talk later, I promise."
Hours later, Ted heard the car stop, the door opened and he was escorted out of the car. "Please hold on a little longer, we are entering THE HOME... Allow me to put you some refreshments, anything in particular?" Ted replied, "Maybe something sweet." She understood and instructed the guards to escort Ted to Baxter's office. The doors opened and the guards place him on a chair, they took the sack off, showing a less expensive room and waiting was Baxter himself. "Do forgive me for calling you out of the blue! I just couldn't help but reward a nobleman like you... And I have been told by my assistant that you have something to confess... But let's not get into that yet! I wish to thank you first... Thank you... And as for your reward, I wish to pay you $235,000 and I will triple that cash if you'll help me with my issue." Ted looked frightened but acted confident and asked, "what do you want to hire me for?" Baxter smiled.
