Serena’s started forcing the automatic doors open before she’d even reached the top of the steps and, by the time she’d reached them, they’d been broken from the strain on the motor.
“Oops! Yo, bitch, your boss in yet?”
“Oh, it’s you,” the secretary sneered.
“Damn right, it’s me! Now, where’s your boss?” Serena glared.
Once again, the secretary looked down at the computer for less than a second before looking back up at her and smirking. “I’m afraid they’re, like, not in at the moment. Can I take a—”
“Look, Crayola-cunt, I’ve had enough of you. You speak like you look—broken and painfully dull despite an ongoing effort to appear bright—and I don’t think you could convey a message from me if there was a whole collection of clown makeup offered up as a prize!” Serena glared, “Now you’re going to tell me exactly what’s going on here, or I’m going to throw your broken carcass down the fucking freight elevator and piss down the shaft on whatever’s left twitching!”
“Ma’am, if you don’t, like, totally calm down I will call security.”
“Let me make this crystal-fucking-clear: I am the leader of the Vail Clan—I have dispatched, dismembered, and then forgotten far greater forces than you or your monster-dick security guards—and if you even try to have me thrown out those doors again, I will deal with all of you, have my words with your leader, and then I will leave wearing a brand new fucking outfit with your eyeballs as my new favorite earrings! Now, are you going to tell me what I want to know or do I need to get really nasty up in this shit-hole?”
The secretary pressed the security call button.
“You stupid little bitch.”
“Is there going to be a problem here?” One of the guards glared, “Might we remind you that any unwelcome interference with a clan leader’s business is considered an act against The Council?”
Serena sneered and nodded, “Yes… that’s right. Wouldn’t want to interrupt your boss’s very important business. Okay,” she held out her arms, “take me away officers! Second verse; same as the first, right?
The three guards growled and closed in to escort Serena out.
Shaking her head, Serena forked out her purple aura and snared the two outer guards a split-second before bringing them together with enough force to slam their skulls together and knock them out. Seeing his comrades collapse in front of him, the third gawked—unsure of what had happened—before finally glaring at Serena and drawing a modified Taser.
“You know how to use that toy?” Serena chuckled.
She’d seen this particular piece of “less lethal” device in action. Along with the typical electric shock—albeit a far greater voltage than anything the humans had ever seen—the barbs were enchanted with a set of spells designed to temporarily render any species of non-human completely immobile for several hours.
There was, however, a rather unsettling side effect.
The guard growled, “I’m positive I’ll manage.”
As his fingers tightened on the trigger, Serena jumped into overdrive. Her muscles and eyes shifted—pushed to the next level
