“You know what a bigger mistake is?” Asks Stanley with a look on her face akin to a cat about to snag a canary. “Stealing those blueprints from us in the first place! Sneaky Hauser pricks!”
“Especially when <span class="mu-i">we’re</span> the ones that discovered the source…” Nods Stanley’s aide as she gently lowers Stanley’s pointing finger! Chuck’s face grows pale.
“You… you mean-”
“That’s right, bitch–we went to <span class="mu-i">ATLANTIS</span>!” Boasts Stanley as she thumbs her suspenders again! “Which is why we REALLY oughta hold onto that portal wreckage for ya… get it?”
“Hmmm…” Chuck replies as his posture softens somewhat, “There might be a few… loose ends…”
“Our favorite kind, right, Stan?” Smirks the CEO’s aide with a twinkle in her eye!
“Not really…” Groans Stan with a sour look forming on her freckled face, “But spill the beans, bozo, and make it snappy–I’ve got, like, a bum in the oven, or whatever, and it’s kicking the hell outta me right now!”
“Well,” Chuck continues as he spares a sympathetic glance in the direction of the CEO’s pregnant belly, “I need an assurance: got a kid that has a personal stake in the whole thing… won’t tell ya’ jack unless you agree to offer him a consultant gig… or at least hear him out first.”
“UUuuUUuUGHH, <span class="mu-i">FIIIIINE!</span>” Snarls the CEO as she smacks her heels against the desk in protest!
“Remember your blood sugar, Stan…”
“Yea, I <span class="mu-i">REMEMBER</span> it, Mitz! JeeEeEeez!” Stan retorts with an eyeroll that would give Chuck’s daughter a run for her money, “Now talk, pops: what’s the hangup, huh? You goin’ SENILE or something?”
“... the psycho that built the damn thing...” Growls chuck as his lip curls in anger, “She… might still be around…”
