Helen was in an Airstream camping trailer, at a Wyoming deserted mountain camping site.
She was in the camper going through each, and every category of every student that was enrolled through the past year, and present.
On a laptop near the table.
Sitting at a small side dining table.
She was wearing a dark grey NIKE gym bra and Black gym pants.
Barefoot on the camper trailer orange thinly carpeted floor.
Grabbing a cup of coffee across the side of a countertop where she was sitting.
That was titled #1 Best Boss.
Taking a sip, she stopped.
Setting the mug down on the side of her laptop on the table.
Helen was going through until she noticed one unidentified picture that only showed a grey figure and had a name she was able to see under the unidentified photo.
Walter Speilberg.
She pulled out her phone.
Pressed a few numbers.
And brought it to the side of her ear.
After waiting for a moment, someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I think I might have something for you," Helen said.

"...so...she attacked you?" Walters's grandmother asked.
Helping him patch up the injury on his left cheek.
Walter was sitting near the dining room table with his grandmother while she properly cleaned it.
"Yes," Walter said.
"Sigh, kids these nowadays." She muttered.
"They're not kids." He said.
Walter's grandmother looked at him for a moment then spoke.
"Look...I know...your..." She trailed.
"...I know, you don't have to remind me," Walter said.
"Still, you don't have to think of it as a bad thing." She said.
Walter was silent after that.
"There." She said, finishing up the bandages on the scars on Walter's left cheek.
"Thank you." He said.
She smiled softly at Walter.
Walter helped with cleaning up the First Aid Kid for her and started walking upstairs.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"Bed." He said.
"But I ordered takeout." She said.
"I'll eat it tomorrow," Walter said.
"Okay...Goodnight Walter." She said.
Walter stopped for a moment at the steps.
"Goodnight, Lucy," Walter said, walking up into his bedroom.
Once he was in his bedroom.
Lucy was about to open up a meal for herself from the takeout,
That's when her phone rang.
Walking over, she answered it.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hi, is this Lucy Speilberg?" A female voice asked.
"Yes, who is this?" Lucy asked.
"This is Teena Wilfred, Principle of the Anthro Society Academy," Teena said, in a casual and regular tone.
"I was wondering if we could talk tomorrow."
"About?" Lucy asked.
"It's related to your grandson Walter," Teena said.
