?Mrs. March!? Avery Scott the landlord at the building where Lani had rented the apartment for Lord Travanix panted as he sprinted to catch up with her. He was twenty pounds over weight and spent most of his days on a sofa in front of the TV and it showed.
?Mrs. March, I just wanted to check in and see how you and your husband are enjoying the apartment??
?Oh it?s just perfect for our needs Mr. Scott. My dearest Trav could not be more pleased by my choice.?
Lani smiled the sugary sweet smile she kept just for occasions like this. It was almost fun to play with the landlord like this. Sweet little Ellen March occupied apartment 2B with her new husband Travis, who was often away on business. Or at least that was the case as far as Mr. Scott was concerned.
? Well good. You let him know I?m keepin? an eye on you when he?s away now darlin?. Can?t have anything happenin to the girls in my building now could I??
A soft throaty chuckle slipped from her lips. ?Oh no that wouldn?t do at all would it? If you?ll excuse me, I have to get started on dinner.?
She unlocked the door and let herself into the apartment, closing the door firmly behind her. The room was spotless as always, Lani tended to the cleaning herself. The rich red wood of the coffee table gleamed with a coat of polish marred only by a pair of tiny white mice curled into a ball in the center.
Lani knelt by the table and whispered to the mice. Having a knack for talking to animals often came in handy. ?Did you get the cameras placed in 5A my darlings??
The mice chittered and scrambled into her hand. She smiled at the contents of their report. ?Oh excellent! My Lord will be so pleased.? She carried them into the kitchen and gave then each a thin slice of cheese and a thimble of cream for their suppers. Then she settled into a seat at the kitchen table and started on a list. A plan for Saturday nights entertainment with the blond from the third floor.
? Evelyn is such a pretty name isn?t it? I hope my Lord decides we can play with her before he turns her into a statue for the lobby.? She was still talking to the mice as she worked. ?Lets see, which wine goes better with the tranquilizers the red or the white??
