Plato couldn't help but smile. The sheep weren't just lining up for slaughter, they were fighting to be first in line for the honor! Human nature was a wonderful thing. He was so near to closing the deal he could taste it. All that was left to do was to get them into place.<br/><br/>"Ladies, ladies, please. I am merely a friend of this man, not the final arbiter. I can guarantee you an audition, but you need to make it on your merits alone after that. Dmitry is a very demanding artiste, and expects perfection and ambition. I'm not the one you need to prove yourself too. I'll tell you what, give me a moment to call him up, it's still early for a party guy like him. With any luck, the three of us can go meet him within the hour at whatever club he's infesting right now. You two just play nice and I'll see if he's up for it."<br/><br/>Assuming their assent, Plato walked off a bit, getting some much needed privacy. He needed to reach Marion, make sure she was holding together and could still pull her part off. She was his responsibility. Her failures were his, and he knew what tended to happen when Marion's control slipped around pretty young things like Misty when there was no one to provide oversight.<br/><br/>"Em, this is Gee. React as though a friend is calling to check up on you. Bring your subject to the van. Subdue and restrain in ten minutes, and minimize damage to the product. Expect me and two subjects in between fifteen to twenty minutes. I will attempt to subdue them both with my tech, but be prepared to provide immediate support at the first sign of resistance. Breath-control hoods should do the trick for your part there, but keep some cuffs close at hand as well. I am understood."<br/><br/>He cut the phone before Marion could answer. She wasn't yet allowed to do anything more than support him, let alone act on her own. He'd already given her enough leeway due to the circumstances, and he had to bring her to heel. That settled, he returned to the two lovely pieces of meat, all smiles.<br/><br/>"Congratulations ladies. You two are in. Dmitry decided to slum it a bit tonight, went to some dinky hole in the wall. Good twenty minute drive, but he gave me directions. If you are still interested, we can take my ride. But this offer is good tonight only, if you back out now, he'll be choosing amongst the girls that already applied.  He's a busy man and is only seeing you two as a favor. If you are still up for it, follow me."
