Chapter 14
She pulled out of the space and waited for Duo to pull up behind her. He gave her the thumbs up, and she handed the doctor a pair of huge sunglasses.
"If you would be so kind as to put these on it would be appreciated, Dr. Malloy."
The doctor nodded and put them on. "Please, call me Ara. Much easier and faster then Dr. Malloy, don’t you agree?"
Sophia grinned in agreement, though Ara could not see it. "You should call me Sophia. It seems only fair."
"I already do," Ara replied, looking around. Not as though she could see though. The sunglasses covered her eyes from eyebrow to cheekbone and wrapped around to her temples. They were blackened out, so no light was visible. She felt like she was wearing swimming goggles, except for the part about not being able to see.
When they reached the gate, Duo, ever the good catholic, paid for both cars parking time. They got out onto the road and headed west, to the Preventer base. ****************************************************************************
Lady Une sat at her desk, mounds of paperwork scattered across the entire surface and the computer multitasking as much as it could handle. She expelled a breath and ran her fingers through her bangs, pushing them out of her eyes. As she was about to start on cross-referencing Preventer reports, a shrill noise sounded from her pocket. Lady Une slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out the shrieking communicator and pressed the screen. A visual of Sophia popped up as she made her way through the Preventer parking lot.
"Yes, Sophia, what is it?"
"What do you want me to do with her?"
The Lady paused mid-sigh. She sat straight up and plucked her glasses off the corner of the table. Slipping them on and getting up to go to the door at the same time, Lady Une responded.
"Meet us in Meeting Room C. We’ll be waiting for you."
Sophia nodded as she turned the wheel sharply and executed a perfect parking job at 30 miles per hour next to Wufei’s brand new Jaguar. Lady Une winced at the thought of Wufei and a scratch on his precious paint job.
