“Which isn’t very far” Kelly challenged.

“Careful toots I still have the negatives to your eventful night” Adele smirked as she walked passed her to the bar “want one?”  She offered the shaken board member a drink.

“No thank you” Kelly replied meekly as was just put in her place.

“I mean, what would the other board members think if they found out how you climbed up their corporate ladder so fast?”  Adele laughed.

“I earned my place on the board” Kelly turned to face Adele who had her back to her, “and for your information I donated very generously to the CAC.”

“Only because you thought your precious Bette Porter was still employed there” Adele turned around with her drink in hand.  “I mean, I thought you would’ve given to one of ex number two’s favorite charities like Jerry’s kids or even cancer research, but no” she shook her head “you were thinking with your other brain.”

“Fine you win” Kelly looked away in defeat, “What did you do with the footage I gave you?”

“I sent it to Jenny” Adele grinned then went and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

“How is that going to help me?’  Kelly looked at her in bewilderment.

“If I have to explain it to you then you shouldn’t be in this line of work” Adele chuckled.

“I’m sorry, I missed the Extortion 101 class at Yale” Kelly sarcastically replied.

“That’s because you were busy being the ‘Head’ of the class” Adele referred to Kelly’s early slutty days when Dawn opened her front door and rushed in slamming it shut behind her.

“Les is dead” Dawn said effectively getting Kelly’s attention but not quite surprising Adele.

“Calm down” Adele told her then took a sip of her gin and tonic.

“No I will not calm down” Dawn said as she started to pace around the living room “when one of our henchmen turns up dead that means someone will be on our tail.”

“Relax” Adele said hiding her smile behind her glass, “I’m sure he had a few enemies out there.  I mean he was a scum bag for Christ’s sake.”

“I don’t like this” Dawn said in a low voice.
