Orphans Beloved: "Many Happy Returns…"
Summary: Like my Immortal Beloved bits in my Buffyverse stories, these are fragments and short bits, some longer…Just to fiddle with ideas, possibly forming longer tales later.

Dyad Institute…Where Tomorrow was Yesterday…
(And where we speak moral corruption in every language…)
"Bloddy lil' turd…" Sarah, struggling furiously…To Daniel Rosen, Dyad chief of legal services as his men drag her down the corridor to the office of a waiting Rachel Duncan.
Rosen and his goons pausing at the door…Nod to secretary at desk.
"Special delivery for Ms. Duncan…"
"Ma'am?" tap to computer…A seated, poised Rachel on screen…
"Yes?"
"Mr. Rosen has brought Ms. Manning to see you."
"A moment…" finger raised…
"Just a moment…" the secretary to Rosen who nods…
"Of course…" Daniel, to the captured Sarah as they wait… "I am simply a corporate senior attorney fulfilling my function, Ms. Manning…" breaking stone cold calm a second to leer… "But I am going to enjoy dreaming about you and your fate tonight. I hope you enjoy the tour of our laboratories." Thin sneering smile…
"I'll be there…To cut your…
"Have them come…" Rachel, at door…She eyes Sarah, then Rosen…
"You…In." stern look at Rosen.
Who is rather pleased to be allowed to witness the beginning of the final humiliation of the most troublesome of these freaks he's had to deal with…
"No, the rest are not necessary." She eyes the guards.
Daniel nodding…Waving for them to leave…
No doubt Ms. Duncan wants the full satisfaction of a personal confront…Under guns of course, with just me and, of course…They enter…
Hmmn…He looks around…
No Paul?
Rachel coolly eyeing Sarah…
"Seat?" she waves her to a seat…Sarah, with grim stare, taking seat.
"Did I say we need guns here?" Rachel eyes Rosen's gun in hand.
"Sarah will be reasonable now…For her angel Kira." Glance at Sarah.
Sarah blinking…
"But…" Rosen begins, a tad nervous…
"Give…" Rachel holds out hand. "We're coming to arrangement here…For my niece. Lets be hospitable, yes?"
Sigh…Hands over gun…
"Thanks you." Eyes Rosen as Sarah looks cautiously at them.
"You are loyal Dyader, no?" Stern glance at Daniel…
"Well, of course Ms. Duncan..."
Helena/Rachel opens window... "JUMP!"
"But...But…"
"You defying orders? My orders?" glare… "Is Dyad policy?"
sigh...
"No...Ma'am."
At window… "Ms. Duncan, I feel I really muuuust proootesttt!.." Jumps to death... …Arghh.
Sarah, blinking…
Helena, arch smile… "So nice to see you, Sarah. You're loooking well. We go get Kira now, eh seestra?"
"Yeah…" stunned nod…
"Have my car brought to the front entrance." Helena, on computer to secretary.
"You." Helena addresses figure in lab coat in lab on her screen now. "Have Kira Manning brought to the front entrance…Now."
"Helena…"
"Rachel…" finger to mouth… "I think we will be seeing less troubles between you and Dyad from now on. We are having some troubles here." Sigh… "Someone seems to have leaked all classified information to your nice cop, Mr. Art? And several federal law peoples...? Powerful backers abandoning us like rats…" mock concerned look… "And no one can find my poor Aldous to help…I'm afraid he may has met with unfortunate accident." sigh.
Sarah blinking…Wan smile to Helena's grin…
"Yeah…Well." Stare…
"Many happy returns, sis."
