Section 1
Geoff stared at the man before him. "I'm sorry sir, but you can't just-"
The man nodded, removing the bowler hat from his head, twisting it impatiently as his bald head sparkled in the artificial light. "Yes yes. I've been informed of this already. But I've come from the President himself to act as a lesion to the Hellschmidts. I beg of you, I need to speak with Master Hellschmidt."
Geoff frowned, the wrinkles in his aged face showing through. "Sir, I have been the butler of the Hellschmidts for many years. Master Hellsch-"
Geoff was cut off by the all too familiar screech of a wire, and he barely glanced up at the large, plummeting object above him as he took off his glasses and began polishing them. The bowler hat man, however, made a dive for cover, trying to dodge whatever was falling from the sky.
Eve came to a halt, barely a foot away from the ground as the fine wire attached to the belt around her waist pulled her short of an untimely death. Geoff glared at the blonde haired girl as she hung there, who looked up with an 'I'm-one-hundred-percent-innocent' look on her face. "Eve, I thought I said no jumping from the top story anymore after what happened with Her Majesty, the Queen."
Eve snorted as she stood up, a smile on her face. "Oh, Geoff. She said it was fine. It wasn't like I should know when royalty comes calling." She balanced on her feet, the line going slack for a second. "Anyway, one of the guys claimed it was a matter of bravery and honor if I didn't do it."
There was a half-choked scream from across the room, and both Geoff and Eve turned to face the bald, bowler hat man. "Bravery? That borders on fool-hardiness!" He turned his attentions to Geoff.
"I would think you would have SOME restrictions on your students here at the institute!"
Eve frowned. "Rude much?"
Geoff sighed. "It's been a long day Madame." He gestured to the man. "This is Alfred Jones, representing the President of the United States. Alfred, this is Madame Evanna Hellschmidt, heiress to the Hellschmidt Institute of Mythology. We apologize on behalf of the Institute if her and her actions offended you in any way."
Alfred started, taking in Eve again. He had worked with the Hellschmidts before, and she didn't look like any Hellschmidt. They were normally on the short side, brown hair and a slight Germanic look in their faces. Eve, however, was almost the opposite. She was tall, with blonde hair that reached her shoulders and something French in her features.
When Alfred didn't respond, Eve sighed. "I'm going back up Geoff. I'll tell Uncle that Mr. Jones is here, so you may as well send him up after me." She said, tapping a button on the front of the belt around her waist. Instantly, the line started back-tracking, and she shot upwards just as fast as she had come.
Geoff glanced at Alfred, who was still staring after Eve. "If you've noticed the lack of family resemblance, it's because she got her mother's looks." He said, clearing up the air. "Now, if you could just follow me, we'll be seeing the Master now about your…"
"Problem. A little… monster… problem." Alfred finished, following Geoff up the long, winding staircase.
