Chapter One
Lara typed quickly on her laptop as the GPS in her car drove her to her destination. " And then.. and then what, think, Lara, think, " she muttered to herself. She reached for the GpS device and pressed a button on the touch screen. " Destination will be reached in 5 minutes 39 seconds, " droned the monotonas female voice. " s**t, " Lara muttered and quickly looked at her laptop screen. She needed to finish the speech in 5 minutes or her career was caput. She closed her eyes and placed her forehead in her hand, her normal thinking posistion.
Suddenly it came to her, " And then peaceful relations between our two peoples will become an equal, profitable, and happy endeavor, " she said aloud as her fingers clacked the words onto the screen. She then copied it to an email and sent it off to her boss, Nick Graysen, who was about to give a presentation to the officials of the neighboring country Bura on a possible alliance. Lara frowned in thought. If Bura joined the Republic of Dellus, then their war with the Cydrian Alliance would be over in a decisive victory, but if they didn't... Lara shook herself in an attempt to push the terrifying thought aside, adn pressed her GPS device again, Destination reached, please remain seated until the vehicle has come to a full stop and opened the doors, chimed the neautral female and Lara smoothed her pantsuit and put on her game face, as the Building of Foreign Affairs came into view.
Lara sat quietly behind her boss as he delivered her speach, to the King and Chancellors of Bura. She felt a sense of accomplishment as they sat in rapt attention, hanging on to every word Mr. Grayson said. He concluded his speach and tapped his PDA causing the screen xcontaining visuals of the plan they had just laid out for Bura and the lights slowly came back on. althoug they would never even show or admit this, the King ang his Chancellors were impressed, Lara could feel it. King Warian rose as did the Chancellors in practiced unison and filed quietly out of the conference room, without another word or glance. Afte collecting his things Mr. Grayson followed suit, Lara at his heels like an obediant dog, which she practically was. " That went well I'm confident about that, I'm not to be disturbed unless anyone from the warian's or his Chancellor's offices calls, " he said quickly and firmly. Lara barely got out a 'yes sir' before the door to his office was slammed shut on her face. She was used to that by now, she was Mr. Job-Done-Nick Grayson's assisstant, she wasn't allowd to complain unless she planned on quiting soon after. Lara stiffened her shoulders and went to her cubicle. She sat on her desk and looked around her pitiful desk and glared, a daily routine, before tackling her others chores for the day. She checked messages, systimatically deleting or fowarding them to Mr. Grayson's computer, until she froze. Lara sucked in a shaky breath as she reread the name on the top of the email. Phil Hramonic of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. Any other person would ahve laughed at the obvious joke the name held, but Lara knew better. She opened the email and scanned through it's contents, something which could get her fired, but at the moment she didn't care, it was that serious.
A business opportunity has recently come up at our firm and we believe that Grayson and his associates would be intersested in our offer, we were able to squeeze you into an appointment on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. for a quick business lunch. Our offices are at Park and Sunrise. we hope to see you there.
DCH.
Lara quickly looked at the time, 11:00, if I leave now I'll make it She grabbed her purse and left as quickly as she could, realizing as she stepped out of the elevator and into the employe parking lot that she had just lost her old career and life for good.
