The Gambali crime family was headed to court once again, no thanks to the high tech thugs they employed and one more of the big players in organized crime was crippled by the direct action of the city's new Spirit.You couldn't blame a gal for feeling a little smug.Still, the ratty office she lived in spoke volumes about the truth of the matter. She turned on the ancient black and white television set that her grandfather no doubt had been very proud of, and scanned the local news.Bad news. Nothing but bad news.Jessica sighed. "Way to rain on my parade, guys," she mumbled as she made to turn off the set...."Good Evening, Hero,"said an unfamiliar man on the television in a very deep voice.  Jessica tried to switch him off, but he was on every single channel."The world is a dangerous place, as anyone who watches the news can attest.  But you have begun to do your part.  To distinguish yourself.  We have taken notice of you.  We wish to offer you an opportunity.  Heroes can accomplish great things alone, but far greater things in groups.  Groups of heroes can accomplish great things, but groups with the right resources, connections, and organization can truly change the world, and turn back the rising tide of evil.  It is this that I offer you.  It you are willing to pledge yourself to bringing super-criminals of all varieties to justice, then at midnight, go to parking lot 17 of the Freedom Colosseum, and find a black van with the license plate 7DX510B.  There will be a keypad on the side.  Type your Social Security Number into it, and it will open. Go inside, and close the door behind you.  Others like you will come.  At 12:30, you will receive  directions as to where to drive to meet us.  Now, back to your regularly-scheduled programming." Jessica frowned. It could be a trap, and it was certain her careful blinds to protect her secret identity had been defeated by someone. At the very least, the mysterious man had earned himself a investigation ...by the Spirit.</blockquote>
