Evenglia
As soon as I was done in Miss. Jackson's office, I raced to the rec. room where I knew I would find my friends. It was strange, I never found out their last names, I guess that It didn't really matter. "Guys! Guess what!" I yelled as soon as I got into the room.
Mary screamed and dropped the book she was holding, startled. Evangelia and Joan started laughing.
I winced. "Sorry Mary."
Mary scowled at me and picked up her book. "You made me lose my place."
"Sorry." I said. I walked over and took the book from her with Mary protesting and opened it to a random page. "Was this the page?"
Mary stared at the page, unable to speak. "Yeah." She said in amazement. She looked up at me as I gave her back her book. "I will never understand how you are able to do that."
I smiled at her. "I have no clue." I lied. It was my Time Lady brain, but I didn't want to tell them that.
"So, I'm off of parole and a proper Time Agent!"
"Awesome!" Joan gasped, covering her mouth.
"Congratulations!" Evangelia said. "Now you can come to girls night at The Green Dragon!"
"Uh." I said, hesitating. I wanted to spend tonight with Jack. "Um, can… can Jack come?"
Evangelia giggled. "Of course, silly! That's what we try to do at the bar. Get a guy."
"How 'bout eight?" I asked.
"Sure."
"Hey Jack." I said as we walked into his apartment. "Um, the girls wanted to take me to the Green Dragon for dinner to congratulate me."
Jack choked on air. I hit him hard on the back. "The Green Dragon?" Jack said, his eyes watering.
"Yes." I said slowly. "Why?"
"Everyone knows that place is shady. Drug lords and cults go there to hang out." Jack said, looking at me.
My eyes widened. "Do you think they have ties with them?" I asked.
"Well, there's only one way to find out." Jack said. "Just, remember to bring a weapon in that purse of yours that I bought you last week."
"Yeah, sure." I said, already dreading saying yes to Evangelia.
Jack and I were standing in the line outside to get into the Green Dragon. I leaned in close to Jack's ear, pretending to lean in so he could kiss me and said, "I think this was a good idea." I whispered, glancing around at all the people.
Jack turned his head an inch or so to me and his eyes meet mine. "It was your idea." He whispered back. Jack was in a all black suit and I was in a short, strapless black dress, the bar having a strict dress code. I had a white shawl over my shoulders with frays at the edges. The queue moved forward a couple inches then stopped. I sighed, I hated waiting in line. I wished for the millionth time that I had brought my psychic paper with me.
I kissed Jack lightly on the cheek, both his and my cheeks going red at the contact. "We get to do something fun for our first day out after hours." I said. "Even if it is-" My voice went down to a whisper. "Spying."
Jack smiled. "I knew there was a reason why I liked you. You're not afraid to get your hands dirty. Some girls would be."
I raised my eyebrows in a flirtatious way and gave him a small smile. "Well, I guess I'm not most girls then." I adjusted my shawl to cover more of my shoulders which were starting to get goosebumps from the cold fall air.
Before Jack could respond the line moved up and the door greeter said, "Welcome to The Green Dragon. May I see your reservation?" The greeter was dressed in a tux with white sleek gloves holding a pad.
Jack glanced at me. I didn't know that there had to be a reservation, so I just improvised. "Um, I'm here a bit late, my friends already have a table inside. Their names are Mary, Joan and Evangelia."
The moment I said Evangelina's name the greeter turned four shades lighter than his already white skin. "A-a-alright. Just a m-moment. I'll have someone escort you i-in." He stammered. He tapped something on his radio in his back pocket then started talking in some different language that I couldn't understand….. That was a first. I was so used to having the Tardis their to translate languages for me.
This will be annoying.
Another male escort walked up to us and said, "Welcome to The Green Dragon, Sir, Ma'am. My name is Christopher and I will be your escort and server for this evening. Your friends are up in the VP suites. I'll take you to them." Christopher turned around and started walking the other way.
Jack looked at me, questioningly. I just shrugged and we turned and followed them. After weaving through people and walking up a flight of stairs, we came to a door at the end of a hallway. Christopher opened the door.
We walked inside, gawking at the expense. The walls were black, with the right side a wall of mirrors. The couches were white and three of them lined the other side of the room with all different types of species and humans sitting on them, having their own conversations.
There was a dance floor in the middle with more than fifty people on it and if I saw the outline of a large window at the back, just over the heads of the people dancing to loud music that I didn't recognize. As Christopher lead us around the dancing people, My hair on the back of my neck stood up as I sensed people staring at us while we passed then went back to doing their thing.
Christopher brought us to yet another door and opened it up. It was a small smaller square room with two circular tables with chairs around them. One table was for the young adults and the other, the older adults were playing a cards. I spotted my friends right away in the young adult table I was about to go to them when I felt Jack stiffen.
"What is it?" I whispered.
"We should go." Jack responded, softer than when I whispered.
A older man at the table stood up. He skin was vampire pale and had puffy white hair and beard. I felt Jack grab my hand and squeeze it hard. "Ah, Captain Jack Harkness and his recent girlfriend Susan Jane Anderson. I have been waiting some for this, Harkness."
"Arthur." Jack growled. "It's been a long time."
My eyes flashed between, apparently Arthur and Jack. "Jack, do you know him?"
"Know me?!" Arthur let out a laugh that I will never forget, an icy, cold, heartless laugh. "I'm the person that the Agency sent Jack and a team out to kill. I believe that you already have guesses to where the rest of Jack's team is, Miss. Anderson."
My eyes were wide, staring at Arthur with shock. "Give me back my friends." I hissed.
"Oh, right to the point. You think they didn't come willingly, well that's true for two of them. The third, well-" I turned to the sound of a chair squeaking on the floor and saw Evangelia stand up. "This is my goddaughter. She and I made a deal."
Evangelia looked at me and one tear fell from her right eye. She made no pass to wipe it away. "Give us back our fellow Agents." Jack growled.
Arthur laughed. "You think that I, the biggest, baddest drug lord of all time, would willingly give away valuable… goods?"
My eyes narrowed. "Big mistake. If there's one thing I hate more than idiots is slavery. Any you have made a big mistake getting me pissed off." While I was saying this my hand was slowly moving toward my purse. I quickly took out my gun the same time as Arthur whipped out his.
"Well well well. It looks like we have a standoff." Arthur said with a smile. "I wonder who's going to live."
