Leia smirks, pleased with Opal's cooperation."Great!." She cheers, lifting her hands in the air. Opal blinks at her, looking like she's reconsidering her decision to work with Leia. The other doesn't care about what she thinks of her bizarre antics. It might seem out of character for her. Normally she has a passive-aggressive cool demeanour.She was only silly around a few people and she honestly never made jokes or teased people like she did Opal.Opal didn't know what to think about it. If she was as good of an information broker as the rumours said she was then she had probably already compiled an analysis of Leia's mannerisms and nature.It was no doubt suspicious how much she has changed, but just like Opal couldn't trust her, she couldn't fully drop her guard around her.Leia was skilled at subterfuge to a certain extent and although she was a bit rusty "likely caused by being a normal person these past few years" she could still determine that Opal was hiding something.But
Leia has to take in a breath of opal's words.'Her mother? It sounds like something had happened to them.' Leia wonders as she gazes at the woman.Opal looks so tired. It's the first time ever since they've met that Leia has seen this version of her.Granted they haven't known one another for very long , from her prideful and capricious mannerisms she wouldn't have taken her for someone who would openly show her grief to a stranger."Is your mother still.." Leia trails off when opal gives her a small shrug."She's dead." Is her deadpan response."Opal…" Leia whispers, shocked by the broker's admission."I'm so sorry." She finishes, guilt enveloping her.She feels bad. Like very bad. Like the scum of the earth bad. She shouldn't have pushed Opal, especially when she wasn't ready to face her past yet. Even if she didn't trust the other woman, nobody deserves being reminded of their loss."Why should you apologize? It certainly wasn't your fault." Her words are cold and they immediately
Agatha Boyd called her character with her shoulders up. Nothing could ruin her confidence in her disguise, after all, it wouldn't be her first time in one. Escorted to her boss, Collins, she looked like the perfect secretary with the way she carried herself. "Your invitation," the bodyguard sounded outside the gate. Their car had come to an abrupt halt like they had done to everyone else and she knew too weak she wouldn't be getting in without one. "Show him," Opal ordered like the boss she designed herself to be and after clearing her voice, Leia responded. "Yes sir,"She reached under for her purse and retrieved a white envelope with an ID inside, despite it looking like a normal paper, the bodyguard glared at her and then the paper and after ten long seconds of silence, he nodded in approval."Nice meeting you too," Leia responded almost as if she were irritated, however, she was far from that. Just as the car drove further a bit, Leia sighed heavily with relief, a little lon
Their eyes widen at the scenery before them. For long it's been known how corrupt the political world is but they never thought it to be this corrupt. Faces of prominent recognised men were before them, escorted by their secretary and they begin to wonder how they were lucky enough to get in. "Mr Collins, meet Minister Ivan," the woman Introduced the two with a cheerful smile. Minister Ivan rose, his hand stretched out as he greets Opal with a handshake. "Nice to meet you, I noticed Nikita had her eyes on you when you first walked in," the man says almost as if marking Opal. "Haha, I'm quite a man, I must admit," she answers with resounding laughter. Leia behind scans the room, her wrist movings side to side as she takes note of the environment. "Quite the hand you've got there huh Collins," Ivan says, his thumb, massaging Opal's hand.His eyes are fixated on her slender hands that he begins to wonder with a frown. "I've been told so many times, I take after my father you see
Trembling, both girls gulp deeply as all table eyes including the waitress were upon Opal as she stretched out with a nervous smile. Of course, she had no excuses whatsoever so unwilling she takes hold of the paper, it was a list with everyone on the everyone on is tables name on it, all that was left is the supposed Collins. With a deep sigh, she scribbles a signature upon the paper, handing it back to the waitress who walks back. "What did you do Sir?" Leia wondered but Opal's lips were pressed together and she refuses to say a word. "Alright then, you're the boss," Leia says to herself as she pays attention to the auction. For a couple of minutes, there's nothing but silent chattering as the tray moves around and it takes over a decade before half of the hall is completed. "So Mr Collins, what's up with the hesitation, it kinda looked like you had seen a ghost earlier," they tell her. "Hahaha!" She laughs loudly, reaching towards the back of her hair while she laughs. Thirt
Seated between two women Ricardo smiled at his guest. "Which one of you won my bid?" He questions the group. Ivan pushes Opal forward almost as if urging him to receive an award. Leia stands back with the others as the two already have an encounter and he would most likely recognize her close enough. "That's quite an eye you have to be able to tell real from fake miles away,"he says as he puffs his cigarette. "You don't mind do you?" He questions Opal who shakes her head in denial. Ricardo stands up and walks towards Opal, his hand resting on her shoulder as he pulls her in closer. "You know my company needs people like you, people with keen eyesight, what'd you say, interested in working for me?" Like an open invitation Ricardo invites trouble for himself with everyone behind cheering Opal to grabbing the opportunity. "Yes sir, anything for you," Opal answers. "That's great, we'll get the paperwork ready and your recruitment will be over, I hope your keen site help
Leia could see her life flash before her eyes as Ricardo's hand stretched out towards her, since she could not move, she had no other option than to remain still as she watches him devour her. Her clothes, were ripped by the monster as she screamed out in misery. His lustful eyes stared at her bare skin and he began to giggle from the pleasant sight before him as he groped her. "That's quite the package you've got there," he mumbles to himself with gladness. "Don't touch her," Opal yelled as she did her best to crawl on her stomach but seemed to fail. "Look who's talking, I'll be done with her soon and then I'll have you, then you two will become sisters and join the other girls," he told them with glee in his voice. Opal could already feel her skin crawl, but more importantly, she watched as Leia shed tears and could only yell at the top of her voice. "...""Huh?" The room fell silent with only the sound of Leia's sniffles echoing but Ricardo put his hand over her mouth. "Shh
"Would you eat something, Leia," Mark says as he stares at Leia sitting right beside him, staring blankly at her meal. "Opal, my friend, what happened to her" she questions.Since after that incident, this has to be the first time Leia said something after she made her promise to him, and she seems to keep to it very well that it bothers Mark. "As I promised, I didn't touch her, I sent her to a place with lots of moving, living people," Mark says to avoid Leia from being confused. Hearing his words she feels a burden off her chest and reaches for the salad fork as she starts poking her meal. "Is there anything you'd like to do?" He asks, causing Leia to halt with her fork deeply stabbed into the steak. She looks up, taking note of how pathetic of a man she sees him as now that she's agreed to his desire."I'd like to take a nap after eating, maybe when I wake up, I'll read a novel or something," she answers with uncertainty. If anything, she sounds rather stressed out as she wil
