Started by Douglas Jenson's great-grandfather back in 1906, the business has grown alongside Elliquiy and is now capable of successfully bidding on many mid-sized projects. While Doug runs the company and oversee's the projects on the books, he is also responsible for bringing in new business. The JSCS office is run by Doug's mother, Anne. Doug is currently running at his maximum limit and if the business is to expand any further, he will need to find additional management-level employees. He is hesitant to do so however because he doesn't want to be the first Jenson to break the tradition of the family-run business.</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">JSCS Employees and Persons of Interest</span></strong></span></span><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/98/Adam_Jenson.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: garamond;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u">Adam Jenson</span><br><br>Husband and father of three, Adam suffered a stroke six years ago and was forced to retire from running JSCS. While he has largely recovered from the after effects of the stroke, his wife Anne refuses to allow him to return to work, although she doesn't mind when Doug calls on his father's experience for a consultation.</span></span><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/6/66/Anne_Jenson.jpg/600px-Anne_Jenson.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: garamond;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u">Anne Jenson</span><br><br>Wife and mother of three, Anne continues to oversee the JSCS office. Manager, secretary and accountant all rolled into one, Anne has been overseeing her domain for the past thirty years and has no intention of retiring any time soon. She worries that Adam might experience another attack, so is on the lookout for a capable replacement should she need to quit to look after her husband. Anne is well aware of Jane's ambitions with regards to her son and subtly blocks the younger woman's attempts.</span></span><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/00/Jane_Parker.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: garamond;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u">Jane Parker</span><br><br>Jane has been the receptionist at JSCS for the past eight months. For the past seven months, three weeks and four days, she has been trying to draw the attention of Doug, although she has had to be extremely careful not to let Anne notice what she is up to. She has not yet realised that it is the older woman who has been keeping her boss out of her clutches. Not that she is worried, Jane is patient enough to wait for the right chance to ensnare the attractive, and well-off, Doug.</span></span><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/66/Ben_Winchester.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: garamond;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u">Ben Winchester</span><br><br>Ben, or Old Ben as most of the locals call him, has been working at JSCS since the days when Doug's grandfather ran the place. Such a long time friend of the family he has been in fact that when he was growing up, Doug knew him as 'Uncle Ben'. While he is not really physically capable of doing the construction work, Doug has him working as a foreman on the most complicated of projects for the simple reason that whatever can feasibly go wrong with a job, Old Ben has seen it happen. He likely knows two workarounds for the problem too. If Doug has something on his mind and can't bring it up with his parents, he'll often go and see Old Ben about it. </span></span><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/69/Greg_Winchester.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: garamond;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u">Greg Winchester</span><br><br>Greg is Ben Winchester's nephew and was taken on by JSCS three years ago on his uncle's recommendation. Doug hasn't really had cause to regret employing the amorous Greg, but he does wish that the man would spend more time focusing on his work and less on visually impressing the next attractive woman to walk by. Greg is at least good at his job and has an easy manner about him that allows him to get on well with the other workers. In fact, Doug usually puts him to work on boring, routine jobs where his egregious personality does a lot to life the pall of monotony. He once, memorably, tried to hit on Rana but was rather impressively shut down.</span></span><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e8/Rana_Descartes.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: garamond;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u">Rana Descartes</span><br><br>Rana has done rather well for herself at JSCS in the past five years, considering that she certainly wasn't spared the usual condescension reserved for female builders. She has impressed Doug with her self-made, can-do attitude and he has a lot of time for her. If she had in fact been interested in men, Doug might have tried to start something with her, but as it is he's just happy to have her working for him. When he has a tough job requiring a lot of constant, hands-on management and grind, Rana is who he assigns.</span></span><br></div>

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Doug pulled into his parking space out front of the JSCS building in Willow Crescent. Killing the engine, he slid the key free and opened the door. He stood clear so Fred could bound out of the truck and down onto the asphalt. Reaching back into the cab, he picked up his coffee and the two cakes. Balancing his load on one arm, he slammed the truck door shut before locking and immobilising his vehicle. Taking the few steps between his space and the door into the office, Doug pulled the door open so Fred could run in ahead of him. Entering the building, Doug first noticed Jane typing something on the computer. She looked up as he entered and smiled.<br><br>"Good morning, Doug!" He couldn't explain why his secretary's upbeat and energetic greeting always seemed off. Maybe it was because she usually sounded like she was trying to hard to appear happy to see him. Doug would settle for genuine emotion over false appearance any day. After all, he knew his parents and they were still very much in love. It had used to gross him out as a kid and teenager, but after starting and breaking a few relationships of his own, Doug has come to understand just how special that relationship was. At the end of the day, Jane just wasn't the type of woman he could see himself settling down with. He nodded to Jane as he walked past her towards his office.<br><br><strong>"Morning Jane. Anything new?"</strong> Pausing at the doorway, he looked over his shoulder at Jane and she just shook her head. Walking into the outer office, Doug nodded to his mother. Not wanting to disturb her phone call, he bent down and kissed her cheek. Leaving the cupcake Izzie had given him on his mother's desk, Doug turned and entered the inner sanctum as he liked to think of it. Fred was already curled up in his basket along the left wall, pretending to be asleep. Putting the coffee and cake down on the desk, Doug seated himself in the leather chair, closing his eyes and sighing at the comforting sensation. It had taken a few years after his father had left the company before he had felt comfortable in that chair, but now it felt like an old friend. After a second, Doug opened his eyes and bought the coffee cup to his mouth. Taking a long sip of the warm, bitter liquid he smiled. Putting the cup down, he turned his attention to the paperwork he had left out the night before. Finding the point at which he had left off, Doug lost himself in figuring out the work schedules for this new project.</div>
