Denise Jane MastersAsk me anything about Emilia Bogdanovic.
Mme. Lucienne LeVert@DeniseSaintJames “How can she be taken down for good?”
@LucienneLeVert Denise puffs her cheeks and looks down pensatively at the question. She seems way more confident now that she's free from the Solar Temple.
"Well... for one, her magic powers are extremely weak now. She relies on science and guns to get her way.
We'd have to neutralize her and her goonettes. I imagine that Laima lady could be a nuisance."
@DeniseSaintJames “My intelligence on the current matters of Ms. Bogdanovic is dreadfully lacking. On Laima even more so.
I know a woman who can slow Emilia’s supply of arms. Ms. DeWitt has quite a bit of influence in that arena.”
@LucienneLeVert "Then there's no time to waste. Let's go! The sooner we find a solution, the better.
Wait!
The genie..."
@DeniseSaintJames “I should mention that I’m not comfortable with allowing any harm to come to that woman. She’s an innocent in this.”
From her handbag, Heloise takes a phone and dials @AvariceDeWitt.
Avarice "Ava" DeWitt@LucienneLeVert @DeniseSaintJames Ava is at the Berlin Symphony enjoying a performance of Handel’s Messiah, when Miss Brandt taps her boss on the shoulder and shows her the vibrating phone.
Avarice quietly excuses herself outside. “Madame LeVert. What can I do for you, dear?”
@AvariceDeWitt @DeniseSaintJames Heloise puts the call on speaker for Denise’s benefit. “I have a rather odd request. I need some… interference run in the shipments of a woman by the name of Emilia Bogdanovic. Her former employee, a Ms. Denise Masters, is on this call.” [x]
@LucienneLeVert @AvariceDeWitt "What I was going to say is--"
Denise can't explain before the call starts. She just has to wait for Heloise to give her the word to clarify the situation.
"Hi, uh, Denise here. I used to work for a cult run by that Emilia, and I need to get a certain person out of there ASAP, lest said person get killed.
She uses a lot of Bitcoin, and I have some of her addresses with me. Would you like me to send them?"
@DeniseSaintJames @LucienneLeVert “If anyone can trace money, it’s Yours Truly. Lo, can we speak privately?” It shouldn’t surprise Denise that Ava knows LeVert’s real name; they run in similar circles.
@AvariceDeWitt @DeniseSaintJames Heloise takes the phone off speaker and puts it to her ear. “I’m listening.”
@LucienneLeVert @DeniseSaintJames The two speak for only a few minutes, with Heloise giving neutral monosyllabic responses. [x]
@AvariceDeWitt @LucienneLeVert Denise can only stare, anxious for the result of their conversation. She looks around, as if to find Emilia, but she's nowhere to be seen.
