Week Two: Tuesday, Narrative - Valeria
Some might have called the events of the last week a bust. To Valeria though, it was just a beginning. Reunited with a dear old friend, games with her precious pet, and steps taken to have the opportunity to work with her sire and to please Sergio. That was not yet a done deal, but Valeria was sure Sergio's ties would make sure the position was hers, one way or another. She expected her phone to ring quite soon with the good news. Surely they couldn't turn down one so qualified. Even if Selene tried to shit all over it, they couldn't use her whining over ex-girlfriends as a good reason. How pathetic would that sound? Not that Val would put that past her.
And so she stayed, here in her room at the hotel so near Heaven and Hell. Near, but not quite near enough. She had plenty to keep her busy. A computer and lots of information to shift through. It shouldn't have surprised her the number of people Sergio had in place in the school, but still it did. And the high positions they held. Val was certain there were others as well that she didn't know about. It was how Sergio worked. Not everyone that worked for him always knew about the others working for him, and there were always people watching each other. So even though Val had her orders to keep her eyes on certain players, she knew there were others she didn't know about with orders to keep eyes on her. It was one way the demon managed to have eyes everywhere.
She wasn't idle while she awaited word from the school. Most nights she spent in Hell, and even a bit in Heaven, listening to whatever "gossip" she could gather. It was one way to gain information. Like for instance... the bit she gathered about Upton's girl Rose throwing such a nasty fit. Of course... Val already had done a bit of computer snooping, and learned a bit of news Janos had tried so hard not to say. "He not your father Rose."
Like a good little indian, Val had passed that up to Sergio as soon as she saw it. Possibly it meant nothing and was not even worth their notice or care. Why would it matter to them if Upton was her father or not (even if there was the distinct possibility he was speaking figuratively.) Still... Sergio had known for some time Janos was sitting on some great secret. Maybe Janos just liked drawing attention every time he did open up. Maybe he really had nothing. Maybe he had something big. Val doubted this was it.
With her reports written, Val did a bit of shopping in the local shops then spent the rest of the night playing in Hell. This time she actually had some uninterrupted play with Vale. Maybe soon she'd have the same with the others. Her sire, and her childe.
