Note: I don't own any of these characters except for Nadia and her lover (haven't decided on a name yet). This is my first Witchblade fic, so all reviews are welcome (including flames).
Kenneth Irons frowned in annoyance as Sarah's cell phone rang suddenly during an argument about the Witchblade. He didn't understand why she didn't just turn off the darn thing. With interest and a bit of surprise, he watched the scene unfold before him.
Sarah, for her part also looked annoyed as she snapped open her cell phone to see who was calling. Her expression quickly turned to one of surprise as she suddenly spun on her heels to face the wall.
"Nadia, oh my gosh, sweetie... are you okay?!" She said, concern and a slight bit of panic entered her voice as well. There was then a very long silence as she listened to whoever was on the other line. "Uh-oh... okay, call me as soon as you can, I'll be on stand by. No, I'll chew your mother out later when I know your safe, don't worry about it you know where the spare key is if I'm not there to meet you."
Kenneth was even more surprised when Sarah hung up her phone and started to exhaust her slang vocabulary with some very interesting results. It took a few minutes to clam down, and by this time the Witchblade was also upset. With her green emerald eyes brewing as though they were twin thunderstorms, she turned back to Kenneth.
"Sorry about that, but a family emergency just came up. May we continue this at a later time?" The tone of her voice was carefully civil, as though she was walking on a very thin ledge and not sure if she trusted herself with full rein.
He hadn't lived this long by being a fool. He knew when to back down and let the womyn have her way. "Whenever it is convenient for you Ms. Pezzini." Kenneth replied, bowing slightly.
Sarah simply nodded and double-timed it out to her bike. Her expression was as blank as the beach at dawn.
'It appears that we may have a new player in the game, one who is very close to Sarah... this should be interesting...' Kenneth thought to himself as he headed back to his office to contact Ian and inform his son about this new twist.
(And that is the end of this prologue, short I know, but I didn't want to give anything away. 5 reviews and I'll post the next part. See ya!)
