Pam was in a foul mood and the last thing she wanted – or needed – was to deal with Sookie.
She looked up as the blonde strode unceremoniously into Eric's office, "No, please, do come in," Pam drawled, putting down her pen and leaning back in her seat.
"Is it true?" Sookie demanded, ignoring Pam's sarcasm, "Is Russell Edgington still alive?"
Pam smirked, "What's the matter? Upset that even with their professions of undying love Bill and Eric still keep you in the dark?"
Sookie narrowed her eyes, "Considering all the help I received with Tara, I think we can safely say that those words were just air."
Pam's eyes flashed dangerously as she thought back to the Moon Goddess Emporium, "Go back to your lapdog, Tink," she spat, picking up her pen and turning back to her paperwork.
"Alcide is not my lapdog," Sookie protested.
"And yet you knew I was talking about him," Pam replied sweetly, not looking up.
Sookie calmed herself with an effort, "When you see Eric, tell him to stay away from me. I'm done with all this bullshit," she said firmly.
Pam ignored her and Sookie walked away, she paused at the door. "Take care of yourself Pam," she said softly, "if Russell's on the loose then he might come after you."
"I'll take it under advisement," Pam drawled, still resolutely concentrating on her paperwork; Sookie pursed her lips and was gone.
As soon as Sookie left the room, Pam dropped her pen and sat back in her chair; suddenly panicked.
Russell was free.
Eric was gone.
She closed her eyes, praying to whoever would listen that Eric hadn't abandoned her to face Russell alone.

A/N: Will hopefully have the scene with the council up soon, I just need to tweak it :)
