<strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><br/>"Hef is a sweet fellow." Marie smirked but looked at Val with a seriousness she rarely showed. "We talked it over before but it is finally done. The new company is up, and running, and your first surprise is out. Any more, we can deliver in time. Right now we got Hef's deal and that'll help make you known with a classy set-up unlike what that jerk at NYC was offering. I can't stand that Timothy trying to get close to you. I think its safer to get your selves new cellphones and accounts on them, to avoid the folks from before bothering you too much. You can always contact those you want to stay in touch with."<br/><br/>Marie leaned against a wall and then smiled again, relaxing some. "The little ones said they're so gonna brag they know you for real, couldn't get them to bed easily either. Nina insisted on getting to meet you, but eh well I don't think it'd be good for my image to come to work even with my oldest daughter. Folks think of me as 'mom' and I won't be the horrifying dragon of the back room anymore." She snickered. "I need that fear for efficiency."<br/><br/>As Marie smirked she looked at Val, looking like she had something more to say when her cellphone rang. Sighing, she moved to pick it up and answer it, moving a bit aside. Suddenly she tensed. "Wait, she did what?" Marie was paling a little.
