She soon found herself being invited over by a stranger. She shook her head. "Actually, I am waiting on someone."
What was taking him so long? Did something happen? Should she be worried?

"Oh okay then." Jack said before going back to the group. He knows not get into people's business, then again it wouldn't hurt to relax and enjoy themselves.
And chances are she's probably worried about her friend. He thought to himself, maybe he can get the woman a drink and keep her company until her friend comes by.
Luckily for him the others placed their bets on Armor King and it seems like Jaycee's chance of victory is assured.

As Helena waited, and waited, there was still no sign of him. She then got up and was just about to leave, when an Asian man in his mid to late 30's appeared. He looked tired and worn out as he takes a seat at the table with Helena. He had a briefcase and placed it on the table.
"I know it's not much, but this should be enough."
Helena opened the briefcase, which instead of it being a lot of money or drugs that many would assume, it actually contained some files. She grabbed them and began looking through them.
"So, SN-95 is one of Dr. Andreas' experiments, yes?" Helena asked.
"Well, yes. Your husband did dabble with the Devil Gene."
She rolled her eyes. "Of course. It would explain how he got the resources."
She thumbed through the pages more before finally speaking again. "Any news on the girl's movements?"
"Witnesses say they saw her run off with a tall man with blue eyes, fair skin, and brown hair. That's a vague description, but that's all the information I have."
"That's enough info." Helena believed she knew who this mysterious man is.
"And one more thing, though. Is there any reason why this ex-cop is helping us out? I don't think it would be a good idea to get him involved... since this is a dangerous operation."
Helena shook her head. "He is a valuable asset. All I have to do is gain his trust. He wanted to put an end to Heihachi and his evil schemes. By allowing him to join me, we will be friends and comrades. Then, he will lead me right to my target, and I can collect the pay. Kill two birds with one stone."
K wasn't quite sure about Helena's plan. She wasn't the type to back-stab someone, but it scared him that she would be willing to betray this good man just for the sake of money. There were better ways around this, but the woman was an assassin for hire. There wasn't much he could do. Personally, he disagreed with her, but he had to let the woman live her life. After all, this may be her way of grieving her husband's death, though twisted as it may be.

As the match was reaching it's climax, Jack overheard the two adults discussing something important. He wasn't sure what it was about at first, but as soon as he heard them mentioning Heihachi it was pretty clear that they're talking about the Mishima Zaibatsu.
He then heard the bell rang, Raymond turns around to see that Jaycee won the match and the bet for Jack.

The match was over. It was now the perfect time for Helena to scram with all the files while the crowd is occupied. She didn't like meeting in a public place, but bars are a great place to meet to discuss important matters since everyone's drunk and everything is loud. However, Helena did notice, she saw that man from earlier looking toward them as they spoke. She really hoped that he didn't hear anything, but it never hurt to figure it out.
With her brief case she finds an empty spot next to Jack, and watched as money reeled in toward him. This much tells her that he is a lucky man, but today he won't be so lucky.
"So I see. You won a bet. Good for you." She smiles. "But I would like to ask you a few questions, so please come with me. We will have a nice little chat. A very nice one indeed."

"Ummm sure." Jack replied as he followed the woman, he did however had a bad feeling about it all. Probably should've made his easdropping less obvious.

Helena was surprised that this young man willingly followed her without such resistance. She wasn't sure what she was expecting. But whatever will happen she will find out soon enough. Finally, they were outside, and she can smoke. She lit up her cigarette and sighed with relief that she finally got her nicotine fix. After taking a few inhales, she was ready to talk.
"So, tell me, who sent you? Was it Kazuya? Heihachi? The Yakuza? The Triads?" Yes, he's a young kid, but they always use a person you'd least expect to be a spy.

Jack was quite surprised that she didn't have him by gun point or with anything that could be a weapon, but he also very glad.
But he should answer the question. "None of the above, I'm completely on my own." He replied before asking her a question. "Are you by chance one of Lars' friends?"

Helena shook her head, laughing a little. "Completely on your own, you say? Then what do you know about SN-95! What do you know about the Devil Gene?" She kind of realized that made a bit of a mistake. Maybe this young boy is really just an innocent bystander who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Lars? I've never heard of that name in my entire life! I don't know him. Oh! Is this who you work for? Lars sent you to spy on me?" Still didn't make much sense if this, "Lars" guy would want anything to do with her... unless. He works for Heihachi?
"I should probably send him a message. But I am feeling a bit generous today."

Jack himself wasn't sure what to say to this chick, he feel like anything he say may make things worse. That's when he heard her last statement.
"Generous how?"

"Well, for starters I_" She was reaching into her clutch as she said this.[/b]
"Helena! What are you doing!" The elder Japanese man shouted as he ran to the scene.
Helena stopped what she was doing, and looked at K. "What is it now, Kuwabara? Do you not see that I am dealing with one of Lars' spies sent to spy on my actions so that the Mishima Zaibatsu would silence me."
"Lars...? Helena... this kid... is our friend. He's anti-Mishima."
"He is?"
Helena now felt really bad about this. She hated the idea of harming someone innocent. Or someone who wasn't her target, in that matter. So really, she had called out a boy. Talked to him. tried to get info. And now... it was just a curious boy being curious. That was a bit embarrassing. Kind of like Sorin. What was up with her.
"Please forgive me for not coming here sooner to straighten this out." He bowed as a way of showing forgiveness. "Helena here has been doing dangerous things and fears that the enemy might be onto her."
The older Cypriot shook her head as she placed the heel of her hand on her forehead. "How much did you hear?" That was really the question she should have asked in the first place instead of jumping to conclusions.

"I heard most of it but I have no idea what's that all about." Jack gave her an honest answer. "Then I heard mentioning Mishima and it got my attention, though I had no idea which side you were on."
Jack then turn to the older man. "And for real, thank you for saving my ass just now."

Helena nodded as Jack told her everything. So he didn't hear anything about her betraying Lei in order to get close to her target. But he may have heard something about SN-95. She wasn't sure what to do. He had information. There was no safe way to keep him from spitting it out at the wrong time. Not to mention, SN-95 could be overhearing the conversation, stop what she's doing, and then get captured and killed by Kazuya. She didn't know what to do with this. She was in a rock and a hard place. How many people know about this at the bar? Maybe they should meet at some abandoned place, but usually, police will discover vehicles on the scene of an abandoned building.
Junichi nodded as he agreed with Jack.
"You know too much." She thought out loud. "And I do not know what to do with you."

"Well....we could relax in the bar and enjoy some drinks with the betting money i won." Jack suggested a more peaceful solution.

Of course they could relax in the bar, but the key is, that's not what she's after. The key thing is, there is a witness and she has to somehow get rid of the witness. If only they had devices that could mind-wipe someone.
"But that still does not prevent you from speaking with such information at the wrong time." She crosses her arm. "I want to make you swear that you will NEVER speak of this. And you NEVER saw me. But I know, you are going to tell someone. You are going to tell your family and your friends. I just cannot admit defeat just yet!"
