Helping Hand (Narcissa)

She had casually texted him back, she had not really cared at this point. She had not been working hard to sell her soul as of yet. Surely she had been lavishing around in that stupid chat and waited for Giovanni to arrive. She had no idea Antonio was coming along, a man at this point that she did not want to see. Shutting her out, lying about your age, well it had consequences and she was wondering if he was smart enough to consider them himself. Well, she would learn soon enough that he wasn't. She got up from her spot and would slowly change into a white dress and put her mask over her face. She would not need to wear it for these two but she would to pass downstairs and get them in her office in this filthy little bar.

When she arrived, slowly down the stairs and she watched them. Talking, she had no idea what they were exactly talking about, it was probably Italian or she could not hear it over the noise but she did hear a name and she smiled a little under her mask. God, he was stupid. She walked over to Giovanni and only greeted him. "If you don't want your assistant to be in our conversation than leave him here. Follow me up the stairs to my office will you." She would have an idea but that still did not mean she had any information about any of such sorts and that was the issue. She had to sell a lot if she wanted and she moved up the stairs, dropped herself in a chair and beckoned for the door to be closed before taking her mask off.

Within the room, there was this old oaken wood round table that she leaned on. As she threw her legs over the side of her chair and put her heels on the table, she simply and only looked at Giovanni. "Just confirm my thoughts." Why he was here. She took her mask off and shook her head so her hair wouldn't be in her face. "I want to know for sure I put enough time in it and it wouldn't be a waste of time."

She leaned back in hr chair and stared at him. Locking her jaw because even though he spilled out exactly what he had said before, that she was his priced posession so to say, he thought Narcissa knew everything. "You do know I cannot throw out my minions with just the words: I want to know where Witch Doctor is first, right? I cannot ruin any of our reputations, you must be lucky that only Sonya was there and that I think I managed to calm her down a little. You need to pay more attention to what you are saying if you don't want to push that girly of yours in the wrong hands after you get her out. They all want her and claiming hers as yours, that's not going to work. You need to do better." But even though Narcissa said all these words, she looked at the chat and rolled her eyes and went to sit up straight.

"I assume your left hand is telling you to ditch it all, so tell me what is she worth to you, because this might cost a lot?" She might be fighting up against Thundershock though his motive did not seem to be right and no one else claimed it as Oracle had said. Though that Mister Sato seemed to be very helpful and she twirled her phone in her hand. Yes, this was going to be very, very costly and she did not like it. This might cost her a rib or her life... depending on what you found worse, she had to ask June or as the world might know her better than her fake alias: Saturn. Now she hated that even more, she had fallen in that trap and she had not found a way out, so who knew what June would do to her now.

She shrugged her shoulders, "It was rather romantic and attractive, don't feel too bad about it. Some people need to be put in their place anyway." But that was the whole point, the villains seemed to be quite honourable, so someone would have come forward now unless they were afraid of the man that still stood opposite her. She, however, tilted her head to the right and raised her eyebrow with an unamused look on her face, she was worth everything? That was kind of impressive and she hated how it stung in her own chest.

"If I were you too, I would tell the other end to shut up about it, if he dared to love people, no matter what, he would know consequences." Yes she was insinuating on Antonio, the issue was he would not get close to someone, so why tell Giovanni about it. But she stood up and walked to the window, "I do have an assumption who this might be but I don't know how fast I could get the place where they keep her." She looked over her shoulder, "Mister Sato or whatever his name is, brought to me the attention that no one in the chat seemed to say anything about it and that we keep forgetting a big deal. Why would someone take her, the only four suspects that are high on the list, all were in the chat and said they did not do it, of course they could lie but we have been bragging about everything we have done, and with Thunder's last action against Yellowjacket, it makes no sense to say you didn't do it." She hoped he kept up and if he would be impatient with her, she would smack him. "That leaves one group, I have read through the news and every accomplishment miss Witch Doctor did and it's actually kind of clear but also it is been a while, which makes them perfect." She leaned against the window seal after turning to Giovanni and crossed her arms. "It's the Plutocracy." She stated coolly. And she would wait for his reaction.

It was actually rather fascinating to see his reaction like that, how he looked surprised when she said it was romantic and attractive and she shrugged again with a hint of a smile on her lips. "Every person think they handle with the best interest, in our cases as villains it is our own selfishness, so don't give a shit what they think. Aren't you the boss, then make them see that, all I am saying." She couldn't help but shrug again before going to get up and tell her whole track of thoughts with what happened, considering Crowley, Sonya and Lavande had not reacted and Oracle said she would rather claim it for herself but it wasn't here, it was the only logical explanation. Niso and Painter were too busy with other stuff and the others were probably not interested, she was sure Meltdown and SilentShadow or Dantalion would have told her. So she was pretty sure it was going all smoothly.

"Well that's the issue." She clicked with her tongue, "That is what will cost me a lot and it depends on who it is. I have Saturn's contacts, but that means she will have to dislike the other person and not care for my interference. If you rescue Nimue it will obviously lead back to me, so I have to make sure that the costs I pay and the risk on my life will be in your hands, that is a heavy price and for me it will take a lot of trust in someone like you, how do I know I can?" After all, the trust Antonio so-called had in her was apparently none existent if you look at him now. Lying to her and pushing her away, she had seen it coming, that did only not mean she wasn't angry at all. "I will go try and contact Saturn to get the information we need, but I am not going to come along, the money or favour she will want, I will pay, but that means you owe me something, depending on her request I might let you pay it." That is if Saturn would pay but she had to sell it as something positive and that Giovanni will have to pay it, if that was the option. So she raised an eyebrow as a silent question to see if he agreed with what she just told him, only then she was going to put in her word.

She raised her eyebrow slowly as she stared at Giovanni. "Deary, a price doesn't come until I know what Saturn wants from me. Though you can give me something small, you don't have a warehouse with a freezer do you? I have some meat to store soon. Though I don't want you to see that as payment, be prepared for whatever Saturn will ask from me." She said coolly, though she was helping Giovanni still by risking whatever idiocy she had in mind, so she would demand both, that is if he had what she was looking for.

She would explain more to him, seeing he did not get what she meant she took a deep breath. "That's it for now, boss. There is no way that the Plutocracy will directly respond to my every whim and will also not directly send me the information even if I would stop beating around the bush. Some things take delicacy to make it work as quick as it can. I am sorry, but I will call you as soon as I know." Or well, considering it was an address, she would text him as soon as she knew, he could then immediately send his toyboys to do the dirty work for him. Little did Narcissa at that point know that it would go differently. She brushed her hair over her shoulder, "There is nothing to do but sit and wait as the saying goes. If I were you I would prepare your car, ammunition and so on. So you can leave as soon as I figure it out." The problem was that Saturn could be everywhere, she had been lucky so to say in Yokohama that day but she was sure she would not find the planet now unless she would be called for. This dangerous operation was more than Cissy would like to handle, but at the moment she had no choice but to continue and pay the way to have a friendship to go on.

She waved it away, "It's sort of understandable." It was not, everyone that had a performance like this behaviour was, in the end, lying to himself. Giovanni was lying to himself and that's what Narcissa despised, but she wouldn't tell him, it wasn't her problem. "Good, I am more looking towards Tokyo, but we can talk about that later. I have work to do." She would just nod along with his comments about Ishtar and Thundershock, she really didn't care about anyone, but she was just an informant, people were simply clients and that was about it. After all, she could not trust anyone, which was only proven by the man she did not allow in this room at this point. He would leave her behind, a painful idea but a solution nonetheless.

She nodded, with that everything was done and she shook his hand, half awkwardly accepted his kisses on her cheek and let him leave. She simply watched him from her room as he found Antonio back and left. Heaving her head high in case his second would look at her. Traitor after all.

It took some persuading but finally, Narcissa got the information of where Witch Doctor was. She at that point, six days later immediately called Giovanni, "I send you the address, they keep her at an abandoned building, and it's the Plutocracy, I don't know which, so be prepared." That was her silent request saying don't go alone but well she trusted him and hung up. She had her own thing to do today.
