Lee pulled the disk drive out of the compartment, all of the data compiled on the Mishimas stored into one data disc. “Excellent.” Lee said quietly as workers around him still performed constant maintenance on the servers making sure they constantly work.
Lee then went back to the detective duo and handed them the data disc. “Here it is, all the information you could ask for. Though, do I️ remind you that I️ will require a favor in the future from you if I️ give this. Do you think you’ll be alive to complete said favor, whatever it may be?” He said with a smirk on his face. He loved to see when people cracked, or when people showed their raw determination. It was a pleasure of watching strong human emotions, an excellent show indeed!

Lee finally returned with a disc. Lei looked at in confusion as he had expected a flash-drive. His laptop didn't have an optical disc reader. But he can probably buy an external CD drive for the laptop at the electronic store.
“Here it is, all the information you could ask for. Though, do I️ remind you that I️ will require a favor in the future from you if I️ give this. Do you think you’ll be alive to complete said favor, whatever it may be?”
"Yes. I plan on being alive for the next 30 years, at least." Lei said proudly. "After all, quid pro quo."
"What is the favor?"

Having sent Lei and Helena away after telling them he would contact them for the favor, Lee now decided to call them. Mostly because of Helena. Lee knew about Lei but didn't know about that woman who stood by Lei's side all along. He was not that close to Lei but quite enough to know about him, to know he was a good guy and Lei just explained his motivations for going after the Mishimas yet Helena had almost not spoken. She seemed mysterious. So somehow he wanted to know more about her. If he was to entrust some important favor to her, he had to know if she was trustworthy. She already knew he gave them important informations and he didn't want everybody to know.
So he decided to call Lei, who maybe was still with her. If not, he would ask for her phone number if Lei had it and maybe some questions. But if she was with him... How close was Lei to that woman? She seemed so distant...
While waiting for Lei to answer his phone, Lee asked one of his technician: "When will Alisa be done? Is she ready soon?"

Lei had been reading the info that Lee had left him when he called. Lei stopped what he was doing and quickly answered the phone. He didn't bother checking the caller ID and assumed that the person calling him was someone from Hong-Kong, so naturally, Lei responded with, "Wei?" *Hello over the phone.

Noticing that Lei spoke Chinese, Lee continued in his native langage as well. It was agreeable to sometimes go back to his native language. Lee almost never used Chinese anymore since he had nothing to do in China or Hong kong, having no business there.
"Lei? It's Lee. Sorry to bother you but I was wondering: Are you still with Helena?"

Lei had almost forgotten that Lee was indeed a Chinese man like himself. It was nice to talk to someone who speaks your native tongue instead of faking an American accent and going by your surname since your real name is impossible for Westerners to pronounce and say correctly.
"Lei? It's Lee. Sorry to bother you but I was wondering: Are you still with Helena?"
'No, I cut her loose. Well, rather she cut me loose... but you wanted to get in touch with her?' Lei asked in his native tongue.

Excellent. Somehow Lee could ask some questions to Lei before he would try to join Helena...
"Yes, indeed. Do you have her phone number? She is still around? By the way, do you know her since long?"

"Yes, indeed. Do you have her phone number? She is still around? By the way, do you know her since long?"
'Yeah, I do. I've got her contact info if you wish to speak to her. But I have no idea where she might be lurking around.'
Lei looked out of the window, as if he were looking for spies of sort. He sometimes wondered if Helena was a spy, herself. Perhaps she planted a bug while Lei wasn't paying attention or looking.
'No. I just met her like... four days ago. I don't know much about her... except she used to work for the Tekken Force and quit her job when her husband died.'
Which is true. Lei quickly jot down Helena's number for Lee and recited it to him.

Lee was slightly surprised: Four days? We might as well say that Lei doesn't know her... And the Tekken force? Okay...
While writing down her number, Lee was now slightly suspicious of Helena. Yet despite looking sometimes quite naive, Lei was a super detective, so he probably knew what he was doing... but still... Lee thought he would have to know himself.
"And you trust her? How did her husband died? Do you know? You kept the CD?"

"And you trust her?"
'Actually, to be honest, I don't trust her. I'm really just dragging her along because she provides helpful intel, and is great at finding informants and obtaining information. Her skills are useful, but in the end, I don't fully trust her. She's been more help than harm.'
"How did her husband died?"
'Sources tell me that he was shot up by the Tekken Force. That's probably why she quit. I mean, I can't blame her one bit... I mean if my police comrades killed my hypothetical wife, I don't think I'd work for the police... though then again... I'm pretty sure if anyone shot up my hypothetical wife, they had a reason... maybe she married me so she could kill me? But I digress...'
"Do you know? You kept the CD?"
'Yes. I chose not to show her the contents for that reason. Also, my laptop conveniently does not have a CD drive. So good on you for putting it on a CD. At least you didn't put that on a floppy. Now that would be too obscure...'

For a while, Lee had feared some Tekken forces coming down on his company and destroying everything... The place was well defended but still... Lee didn't want to be suddenly invaded and suffer a lot of damage to his excellent combots and machinerie...
Gazing at some Combot, Lee felt a lot of pride in his creation and even seeing one being destroyed by the Mishima Zaibatsu or anyone else would be painful... And Alisa wasn't even finished... Despite not being his creation, she was the most important piece of technology around here... The most technologically advanced and the most humane one. She even had feelings... She was such a kind person and she was a very good friend...
Yet it would be interesting to confront his father once more if Heihachi decided to attack him but it wasn't the first thing Lee wished. Anyway Heihachi wouldn't even come himself, he was too preoccupied by Kazuya or that nephew, Jin... Lee then answered back:
"Hahaha! I would have to give you a full box of floppy if I wanted to give you all the info that way... Those things are so obsolete... I gave you a CD because I trusted it would keep the information more safely than a flashdrive, you know how they sometimes erase everything... I didn't know you didn't have a CD drive...
And Helena may have been more help than harm, but spies are always more help than harm before they shoot you in the back. Be careful with her. Maybe her story is true, maybe not. But thank you for worrying about me and keeping my infos safe.
And thank you for your informations. I'll call her and try to know more if I can. If I find anything more about her, I'll tell you. ...If she first answer the phone, she didn't seem too appreciative of my charms... Even if I wouldn't call her for this... She's a recent widow after all... Well, zàijiàn! (goodbye)"

'Right. And CD's are extremely fragile. So, after I get the information I need, I think I'll just go ahead and destroy it.' Lei thought. 'I can just blame it on my clumsiness... eh? But thankfully, my girlfriend has an old laptop with a CD drive, so it worked out just fine.' Lei smiled.
"And Helena may have been more help than harm, but spies are always more help than harm before they shoot you in the back. Be careful with her. Maybe her story is true, maybe not. But thank you for worrying about me and keeping my infos safe."
"That's why I'm prepared for when the time comes. I carry a weapon on me, and I'm a Kung-Fu Master/Interpol Agent. I'm very much prepared for her impending betrayal, if it does happen. Or... if she is indeed truly true... it could be that she's just a paranoid woman.'
"And thank you for your informations. I'll call her and try to know more if I can. If I find anything more about her, I'll tell you. ...If she first answer the phone, she didn't seem too appreciative of my charms... Even if I wouldn't call her for this... She's a recent widow after all... Well, zàijiàn! (goodbye)"
'And good luck and take care of yourself. And thanks for your cooperation, as well. Bye, and let me know what you find out.'

Wondering about Helena, Lee thought that even if she had been in the Tekken force, it didn't mean she was still working for them... Maybe it really was as Lei told him... Lee personally knew many example of people being affiliated with the Mishima Zaibatsu and leaving them and even hating them now... Like himself. Or even like Lars... Lars was a leader in the Tekken force not so long ago, maybe he even knew Helena... He should ask him...
For a while, Lee wondered if Lars would answer the phone but then he remembered Lars was always with his cell phone, so of course, Lars would see if he called and probably answer... The thing was to know if Lars was actually very busy... But Lee would only know if he called...
So he called Lars before he would call Helena.

"Lars, this is Lee, I hope I'm not interrupting anything but do you know a Helena Teadoir, who would have been in the Tekken force?"
