Rating: PG
Vicki came to Wayne Tower dressed a little nicer than she normally might have been. She tried to keep it simple, but when you had to charm your way into the office of the heir to the Wayne fortune, you had to do your best. Journalism was a lot more work than sitting behind a desk and typing out an article. It required footwork and for Vicki, this footwork required four inch heels that cost almost twice as much as her dress. Not that she thought Dick Grayson would notice, but a few security guards might notice how nice her legs looked in them. That was what she needed. The element of distraction was one of her best tools, a pretty smile, some batting of her blue eyes and toss in a hint of charm.
It all worked out rather well. She was in the office of Dick Grayson, who was, the secretary informed her rather secretly, the current interim CEO until he made a decision if he wanted to stay on or not. The office was expansive and she sat in a chair waiting patiently, one leg neatly crossed over the other and her bag sitting at her side, and her cellphone in her hand. She placed the tiles on the gameboard displayed on the phone’s screen, spelling the word, “Xenon” and giving her score in Words With Friends a healthy boost. Her friend from college, with whom she was playing with, would likely pitch a fit when she saw the monstrous lead that Vicki created with the word. Never ever challenge a journalist to a word game.
She heard voices outside and quickly shut the game down, putting the phone on silent and slipping it back in her purse. Vicki’s hair slipped over her shoulders as she turned her gaze to settle on the door, impatiently awaiting the arrival of the elusive Dick Grayson. She’d been requesting an interview for days, not to be done prior to Mr. Wayne’s funeral, but after. Rebuffed repeatedly, she knew the best course of action was to show up. It was hard to turn someone away when they were already in your office and perfectly aware you had empty time for the next hour or so.
