head honcho, the big cheese, the man in charge? Am I even making a dent here or is there too much neon paste caked in your skull to hear me? I’m from the Clan of Vail and we were informed that you would be assisting us.”
More neon eyelid exposed itself as the girl narrowed her eyes, “Uh-huh. Well, let me just see if they’re, like, available.” The secretary turned to her computer screen for less than a second before turning back to Serena. “Oh poo. It looks like you, like, just missed them and junk. But I can totally leave a message for you.”
“… just missed them… and junk?” Serena frowned, feeling her temper begin to rise, “And you, like, totally don’t know when they’ll, like , be back… and junk ?”
“Nu-u- upe,” the rhythmic clacking started up again along with an increased rate of chewing, “But I’ll totally tell them that you came asking for them,” she snapped another bubble with her gum. “I’m sure they’re, like, sooo wanting to meet Vail Clan Barbie and all.”
“Listen up, Play- Doh ho! I’m about two red cunt-hairs from leaping this desk and leaving my own personal message for your bosses with your insides. So here’s how this is going to work: I’m going to, like , not kill you—‘cuz I’m feeling generous… and junk—and you’re going to keep that dead meat you call an ass planted on that chair while I go upstairs and check for myself. In the meantime”—she leaned over the desk enough to turn the computer monitor on—“I’ll let you start a personal list of all the ways you just proved all of this ”—she gestured to their surroundings—“to be every bit the joke I knew it was!” Serena began to turn away from the large desk and headed towards the elevators as she heard the secretary hit a call button.
“Security!”
Before Serena could cross the distance to the secretary to rip her head off, two large therions stepped into the room and took her at each arm, dragging her towards the automatic doors.
“Really? Is all this necessary?” Serena growled. “I only came to speak with your clan’s leader! If anybody should be getting dragged out it should be My-Little-Bone-Me bitch back there!”
“The Leader’s out on business at the moment. Try back later,” one of the guards said.
“Once you’ve had a chance to cool down,” the other finished before pushing her through the doors.
Serena growled, catching herself as they threw her out the doors and raised her middle finger at them.
“Up yours, you limp-dick fuckers!”
“I knew there was a reason I liked you!” A familiar voice called to her.
Turning, she spotted Axle and rolled his eyes, “You’ve gotta be shitting me! All this nut-fuckery over you showing up in my town and you just— plop! —hang out on the new clan’s goddam doorstep?” She shook her head, “Axle Travers, the elusive therion rogue! Goddam joke! You know what? Fuck it! You and they can go suck a dick! I’m going home!”
“You remembered my name?” Axle smirked, “The infamous Serena Vailean honors me.”
Serena glared, “On second thought, kicking your ass might just be the perfect thing to vent my mood right now!”
She started towards him and sighed as he smirked and turned to run, heading into the alleyway neighboring the clan’s building.
“Really, numb-nuts? That’s a dead end!” Serena scoffed and rushed after him, only to find the alley empty. “What the fuck?”
“Up here, buttercup!” Axle called from above her, where he was hanging upside-down from a fire escape rung that he’d locked his knees around, “You’re probably going to want to up your game if you want to vent that mood of yours!” He laughed and pulled himself up and over edge of the ladder, and jumping to the rooftop.
Serena smirked, “All right, you spritely fuck! Time for some fun!” She jumped onto the fire escape and began to climb up to the roof.
