Viola’s Solution Unfolds

“What do you mean he left word with you that he is too busy to meet with anyone including me?” A visibly enraged Tortego shouted at Anole. He had come for his daily visit with Jean-Claude only to be told by her that he could not see the werewolf.

“Really Mr. Tortego there is no need to shout or be rude,” Anole calmly stated with some irritation. “As I told you before, you cannot go in right now because he is in a critical meeting with Mr. Pasquale.” She grabbed her appointment book from the side of her desk. “I can schedule you for sometime later in the week,” she primly responded while innocently smiling at the now red-faced vampire.

“How dare you,” he sputtered in anger. “You are seriously informing me to make an appointment and, by the way, I should now be addressed by you as Father not Mister,” he snarled.

“Sorry I had a father already and I’m not shopping for a replacement,” she disdainfully sniffed. She picked up a pencil. “Now I’m busy so if you will let me give you a date Mister Tortego you can be on your way and I can get back to my work.”

Tortego’s eyes darkened. He glared at the thin older woman and let his fangs extend outward. He contemplated how bad the fallout would be if he ripped her to shreds right now.

Anole sighed. “You know a good whitening toothpaste would works wonders on those incisors. Dental hygiene is so important when one gets so very, very, very old,” she slowly replied with steely resolve in her voice. She had heard what he had done to her precious Jean-Claude. Given half a chance she would have gleefully used her pencil to stake him through his black heart.

Tortego was about to say something when the door opened. He turned to face Vinnie. “Really we are trying to have a meeting and you are making a racket Tortego,” the detective sharply said to the stunned vampire.

Tortego leaned to one side. He could just make out Jean-Claude sitting at his desk through the crack in the doorway. The werewolf was busying reading papers. He never looked up to at least acknowledge the prelate’s presence.

“I have a daily meeting of a religious nature with him,” the vampire insisted. “So if you will step aside I will go in to see him … alone!”

Vinnie folded his arms in front of him and blocked entry into the office. “Anole will you give him an appointment,” he briskly told the secretary. Vinnie turned and walked back inside the room closing the door behind him. Tortego heard the door’s lock slip into place.

The amazed vampire spun around to see Anole suppress a slight smile. “Now let me see what looks good for Jean-Claude in the next few days,” she efficiently replied as she flipped the calendar pages of her appointment book towards the end of the week. “Ah I’ve something in about six days. Will that do or is later better?” she demurely asked.
