"Excelent work, General Kolov. Now then, you are the General, what do you propose our first course of action action LIF should be? I am still in the process of shoring up support.."
Bradford looks out the window but as of yet there is no sign of Dinari Dollar.
"Our first step, naturally, is to locate the current LIF base. Without that piece of information all I can do is continue to run deterrance patrols." |

"You're right, I'm sorry madame, I will meet you in Beijing immediately." I hang up, and walk into the bedroom. Victoria knows what's happening.
"I'm sorry love..." I wrap my arms around her, and kiss her on the lips. "I will return as soon as possible."

I kiss her on the hand, and hold on to it until both our arms are stretched out completely, and I let go, like a chain breaking at the weakest link.
"I love you."
I turn around, and rush out the door. It was a long ways to Beijing, and for once, I was distracted from my duties. I have to get Victoria out of my mind, Violet will be upset with me if I don't...
I arrive in Violet's office a little later than anticipated. I stand outside the door, and straighten my disheveled appearance.
I open the door, and walk in. My carriage is confident again.
"Hello my Lady, what time is the meeting?"

"Good to see you again, Mr. Futsu. It actually is not for another 2 hours, but I will have to change clothes. How was your day today?"
I am much happier now that I have someone to talk to. The only tine people talk to me is when they want a mission.

"My day was eventful, to say the least. I had a run in with Mikomi of all people. I assume he read the headlines, and was very upset with me..."
I run my hand through my hair nervously, thinking about the run in.
"I am inbetween two very powerful people... That makes me a little nervous to say the least, but anything for you and Red Infinity, my Lady. How about you? How was your day?"

"Hmm...I still have to deal with Mikomi. I have been avoiding him, but it seems he still likes me. Lin-sat has also been cold towards me. The only pleasant time I had all week was when Dr. Valmont took me to dinner. I am not relliant on men, but I certainly don't mind their attention."
I stack up some of my papers.
"Today was uneventful. It seems the only highlight will be sitting through this meeting with you. At least I will niot have to speak at it."

"I'm glad I can be considered a highlight in your day, madame."
I cross my legs.
"So what is this meeting in regards to? I should know this, since I've been cordially invited. I lose track of the meaning of important meetings sometimes."
I'm not very good at being informal, but I'm trying...

"A celebration and an announcement of the next 5 year economic plan. Just think Mr. Futsu, in just 5 years the world will be a communist utopia provided the plan works."
I say this sarcasticly. The past ten 5 year plans since the start of Red Infinity all ended in a failure of some sort.
"So this is important since you will have to report the wild successes of the previous 5 year plan and how this one is even superior."

"Oh, that's this meeting, right... I can do that."
Every five years it gets harder and harder to spin the five year plans in a positive light.
"So this is going to be a meeting with the press, and all the Red Infinity higher ups, right? Everyone from Moscow to Beijing?"

"Yes, but everything is being presented by the Ministry of Economics so you need not worry about speaking. You may have to answer some media questions at the end, but you are an expert at spinning the facts in a way that appeals to the masses."
I hand him the large file I was fumbling with earlier.
"Everything you need to know is in this file...."
I look him over, he looks good in his tight black slacks and thin charcoal blue turtleneck.
"Tell me, are you in a relationship Mr. Futsu. I only ask since I do not want to complexify your life."

"Thank you for your kind thoughts, my Lady. Do not worry, you don't complicate my life, she is understanding of our relationship."
I bow my head in respect, understanding that she was hitting on me. Such an honor to be hit on by the most powerful woman in the world.
"You certainly must have someone else in your life who can be there for you, someone as prestegious and beautiful as yourself should accept no less."

"Look over the file. I am going home to change."
I smile slyly.
"If I were in her position, I would not be so understanding."
I am of course only teasing him. My life is much too complex to allow any more complications. But sometimes I do enjoy the perks of my job. Working with adoring attractive men is certainly one of them.
I teleport home so I can change my clothes for the meeting. I immediately focus on more important matters.

I watch the guy slowly step in front of the cell if only I could bust out of here again. My strenght to weak to accomplish such a task. My body in bad condintion. I hated not taken a bath but they wouldn't let me take one. This was the minstry of terror, they dont care about any of there well placed guests. Here's this guy come to tortuer me and I have the nerve to look like this... THIS. Its bad enough that I have to get tortured but smell and feel like this, god I almost wish I would roll over and die. MY hair grimy and oily, face and body covered in blood and dirt. My shirt torn and my pant are now some kind of shorts, underwear kind of thing. They could atleast give me something to cover me. I didn't like tranforming to a bear but if they didn't give me any coveres soon I would have to. The guy look at me with his judgeing eyes I guess to find the best way to torture me. I really didn't care I just want to get back to my clinic all those women need my help. I hope I can get out soon so I could see how ever things going. I know I dont have to worry about consumers business is always great in moscow. It just saddens me, all them girls...women.
I hate men !
I thought to myself
I tap my foot on the ground thinking of how much time this is going to take out of my day. IT was rather boring in here but atleast in here I can sleep.

"Ha, injured, eh?"
I see the mage, cowering on the floor in pain. Im supposed to be acting like the goddess, so I try my best to be mean.
"Thats what he gets, for hanging out with a woman, letting that get in the way of his work. Lets go, Heal him, I want to start this now!"
