Vicki was gathering her things up to leave and follow Emma to her apartment.
Coreen was doing everything possible to stop her, short of sitting on her.
"Vicki, this is NOT a good idea." Coreen said circling her, putting things back down as Vicki was picking them up.
"Coreen..look, I"m just going to Emma's apartment, taking a look at her boyfriend, nothing more," Vicki was doing a back and forth dance with Coreen, she would step one way, Coreen would follow. They did this about five times with Vicki finally faking her out and getting into the outer office.
"VICKI! Please, don't go,"Coreen was pleading.
"Look, you stay here, I'll be back in a flash.." Vicki smiled at Coreen.
"OH noooooooo, "Coreen gathered her things, locking the office behind her, "NO WAY am I gonna be here when Henry gets back and have to try and cover. Plus, he'd never forgive me if I didn't follow you." She thought a minute.
"Of course, he'll probably kill me for going with you too." Either way, Coreen was screwed.
Vicki smiled at Coreen, ever the little protector.
They followed Emma in Vicki's car. Coreen was nervous, tapping her knees, chewing her nails. Coreen screamed when Vicki's phone rang. She knew it was Henry by the ringtone..Hot Blooded...
"Stop being so jumpy Coreen, watch me work my magic...hello?" Vicki answered.
"Hey you..yeah, we left early...Coreen? Oh, she's with me. What are we doing?...Wedding stuff..yeah..really...what? Why are you so suspicious.." Coreen was burying her face in her hands. Henry was going to kill her.
"Oh, hon, I"m sorry.."she raised her voice.."Can't hear you, breaking up." she was making scratching noises with her mouth.." Love you," more scratching noises,"..gottagobye.." making the last all one word. She closed her phone giving Coreen a quick look.
"Boy, this better be simple, I think he can tell over the phone I"m lying."
Alas, nothing was ever simple. This was no different.
"What are we going to do about this Bastian?" the man asked.
"I do not know, I had not expected this. I thought we had everyone under control. We must find who did this. We must find that boy, he will have to be destroyed. And the girl he was with, the green eyed one, she must also be destroyed. We cannot be discovered. Not here in Toronto. There are rules here, we must abide by them."
The other man nodded. He left leaving the man called Bastian alone. Bastian was in deep trouble if he could not find the rogue. He might have to call on his friend Pierre, but Pierre might alert the Fitzroy's and he couldn't have that. The Duke wouldn't be so kind to him, or that's what he thought. He wouldn't take that chance. He must find and destroy all evidence.
When Vicki and Coreen pulled up to the apartment, they were rather surprised at how nice they were. Rather nice for a young girl.
Emma got out and motioned them to follow her in.
"Okay, in and out, right Vicki?" Coreen prodded.
"Oh, yeah, sure," Vicki said nodding, as if.
They didn't see the two men watching them from across the street.
"That is the green-eyed girl, but who are the others."
The big man, the blonde one, he knew. His boss Bastian had schooled him on all who were involved here in Toronto, those they would need to stay clear of if they were to have a life here.
"That is Vicki Fitzroy and her assistant, Coreen Fennell."
"You know much," The other man answered.
"Yes, it is my job. Now it will be my job to get rid of all evidence." The blonde said.
He hoped that the two women would leave before they saw the boy, but if they didn't, they too would have to be destroyed.
