La Squadra de Ultimados had a file on Troy & Julie Equals, and another on Susan Bailey.
Susan's file was rather small, with only a few instructions; no known food allergies, that she is always to be addressed as Susan or Ms. Bailey, with no nicknames used, that her protection was their highest priority, that she was a dual citizen of the United States of America and San Finzione with two home addresses: Federal Way and Castle Finzione, and was permitted everywhere in Castle Finzione except the dungeons; that her requests, however odd, were to be complied with. Also, like the Equals, every measure, up to and including exercising an Ultimado's License to Kill, was authorized by order of La Contessa to keep Susan out of the Media. A recent medical note had been added, stating that any care or treatment that Signorina Bailey might ever require should be in-home care at either residence, a safe and non-institutional setting, or at the nearest clean area to the scene, but never to take her to a medical facility. It made clear that "Medical attention must always be brought to Signorina Bailey, never vice versa."
The Troy and Julie Equals File was one hundred and ninety-eight pages. A number of them were devoted to scenarios Ultimados were likely to encounter when dealing with La Contessa's closest friends, who possessed the same gift that that she did; and what to do about them. These scenarios were collectively referred to as "Equals Situations" by the Ultimados, and one of them was unfolding in the Green house at that moment.
Their instructions in the situation "Signora Equals Seeks an Audience with La Contessa." were straightforward enough: That she be given immediate access, without let or hindrance. That whatever her mood, which Julie's personal file noted would be "visually apparent via her facial expression," everyone would be best served by standing aside and letting her pass.
After that scenario in the file came the much longer "La Contessa and Signora Equals are Having What Sounds Like a Violent Argument Behind Closed Doors." The first step was to ascertain whether or not any sounds of vile profanity, shouted threats, struggling, and/or thrown/breaking objects had reached a level beyond "reasonable expectations for interactions between Signora Equals and La Contessa." Proper procedure was to remain alert, but to take no action and not to enter unless and until La Contessa specifically requests help.
The next steps in the scenario were spelled out:
• Wherever he is in the world, locate and inform Signor Equals. Explain the situation to the best of your ability. Avoid exaggeration and/or language that suggests that either party may have already come to physical or emotional harm unless said harm has been visually confirmed. (NOTE: Under NO circumstances should the words "hurt" or "dead" be stated or implied regarding EITHER Signora Equals OR La Contessa! As stated repeatedly throughout this file, La Contessa and the Government of the Sovereign County and Independent Nation-State of San Finzione accept no responsibility for any actions taken by Signor e Signora Equals for false statements suggesting the other has or may come to harm, and will disavow the knowledge and/or existence of any citizen who should knowingly imply such.)
• Request his presence, and if he agrees, deliver him to the scene as quickly as he will come via his own free will. Should he make any request, provide it or have it waiting at the scene for him. Acceptable topics of conversation along the journey include, but are not limited to: Byroni Medina, Greek Culture, Signora Equals, Signorina Bailey, La Contessa, Science Fiction, Spy Movies, with an emphasis on James Bond; Marvel Comics and Films, movies and Saturday Morning Television of the 1970s-2000s, British Pop Culture, and Gaming of all kinds. In addition, Signor Equals may, as at any point in time, begin consciously or unconsciously giving out financial advice. Be certain to include this advice in your report. Wise Ultimados who desire a comfortable retirement may wish to follow his advice.
• Once he has assessed the situation, bring him anything further he may request. When he sees fit, he alone should be allowed to enter the room and the door secured behind him. Unless instructed otherwise, start a three-minute countdown from the moment Signor Equals closes the door. If the profanity, shouting, and slamming around have not ceased or otherwise changed to a less-hostile nature; only then should La Squadra de Ultimados intervene. At this stage, assume La Contessa's judgment to be compromised and follow Signor Equals' orders, if he is still conscious, until the immediate situation is over.
• If Signor Equals is, for some reason, unable or unwilling to come, locate Signorina Susan Bailey, and repeat the above process modified for her. (see appendix)
It was this procedure that the Ultimados followed when, after the showers ended, Julie Equals put on a light dress and then went to find Susan and Helen; to let them know she was ok now, and ready to do whatever was needed. She saw that neither of them were home, reasoned that they must have gone across the street to the Greens' house, and went back to the bedroom to tell Troy she'd be over there when he was ready.
Susan's file was rather small, with only a few instructions; no known food allergies, that she is always to be addressed as Susan or Ms. Bailey, with no nicknames used, that her protection was their highest priority, that she was a dual citizen of the United States of America and San Finzione with two home addresses: Federal Way and Castle Finzione, and was permitted everywhere in Castle Finzione except the dungeons; that her requests, however odd, were to be complied with.
