S08E07: Where is Prince?

"who's this? Sorry boo boo, hey white thing, who are you and what are you doing in my office?"
Cookie asked.
"Mrs Lyon. My name is Valentine, I asked to see you specifically"
"What about?"
"A job. I'm looking for a job desperately so"
Cookie laughed. "You wasting my time."

"Coo--i mean Mrs Lyon. Please, you need me"
"What makes you think I need you?"
"Because I know you are about the music and I know music, you need a personal assistant and I can be that and more"
Cookie looked at her and let out a snort.
She sat down and scanned at her visitor. "Valentine right?"
"Yes"
"There is something about your voice" Cookie said. "I just can't put my finger on it. But your voice is familiar" Cookie said

"Mrs Lyon--"
"No please Call me Cookie" Cookie insisted. Valentine looked at her.
"I'm not hiring, we not hiring" Cookie said.
"Can't you open a position for me or something. I swear you won't regret it"

"Girl" Cookie said and huffed. "You are too enthusiastic for me to comprehend."
"I'm desperate"
"Everybody who's unemployed is desperate. But you are a little too desperate" Cookie said. She swallowed hard. "What is your score, there must be something you gaining out of this!" Cookie said. "Work Experience, salary and experience working with you Mrs Lyon, that's more than enough for me"

Cookie scanned at her. "Unfortunately bossy is not hiring right now, you do understand protocol right?" Cookie asked.
"I also understand that you are Cookie Lyon, you are a bad ass and no protocol could ever stop you from doing what you want"

"I will call you when the company is hiring. Leave that resumé" Cookie said. The girl nodded and stood up. "something about your voice... I swear I feel like we've met, I know I'm not making this up" Cookie said.

The girl swallowed hard. "Trust me I would remember meeting you Cookie. You are a goddess, nobody could ever forget meeting you" she said.

"Don't worry. I will find out. Bye for now, expect my call" Cookie said.

Later on the day.
The concept started. Cookie was running late. She walked in and demanded to steal the show. Walking to the front with her beautiful long dress, one hand cut, tight to her feet down. Bottle green. And a beautiful white and bottle green purse printed *Bossy Boss.*
Lucious took her hand and kissed her.
"Sorry I'm late" she whispered. "Bossy stuff never ends until the end of the day" she continues
"I understand"
"However this looks like a great success. Congratulations baby" she said looking around.

"It is all us. We did it" he said. She looked at him surprised. "We did?"
"You sounds surprised, of course we did this together" Lucious stated. "You Never wanted to share credit before" Cookie said. "well now I do and I'm sharing it with my beautiful wife. If it wasn't for you, none of this would have been possible. Thank you" Lucious said. "Never forget that" Cookie said cockily. "As if you would let me forget" they chuckled.

After concept.
Special drinks arrived. "From Valentine, she says it is not too late to take care of you Mrs Lyon."
Cookie rolled her eyes. "What's that?" Lucious asked. "Some white girl, with a black girl attitude, with a creepy familiar voice, she's forcing me to hire her, I swear I can already tell she's up to no good" Cookie told Lucious. "Is she bothering you?" Lucious asked.
"I can handle creepy. She wants a piece of me" Cookie said. Lucious peeked his head on Cookie's behind. "I hope , that's not the piece she wants because that's my piece, it belongs to me"
He said they chuckled.
"Stupid ass" Cookie muttered.
Lucious chuckled.

He grabbed her ass. Cookie gasped and looked around her. "Let's get out of here" he said. She blushed and lead the way, he followed her. 

On their way out. They were literally rushing to their car.
"Cookie, wait" Valentine said. Cookie's naughty smile, happy giggles rubbed off immediately. She paused and turned, Lucious waited for her holding a car door.
"What is it?" She asked. "I'm vale-"
"Valentine, I remember, what do you need girl? I'm trying to get home.." Cookie said.
"About my proposal, have you thought about it?" Valentine was really been pushy. She was way too desperate.
cookie gasped.
"You stop me here, to asked me that? Listen girl, there is no position for you at bossy, we are not hiring. There won't be any position open anytime soon, get it? Good, now if you can excuse me, I'm trying to get home with my husband" Cookie said rushing towards Lucious.

"Wait, can you ask your husband if he has anything" Valentine said. Cookie rolled her eyes and got inside the car. Lucious shut the door.
"Why are you harassing my wife for, can I help you?" Lucious asked. "I just need a job!" Valentine said. Lucious chuckled
"Then send your resumé and portfolio like any other artist." He said getting behind the wheel and shut the door then rolled down the window.

"Let this be the last time you harass my wife, I can be very tasty, you don't Wana see that, my name is Lucious Lyon ask about me" he said pulling off...
"Oh please I know you" valentine said under her breathe.

Cookie cringed her face. "I know that voice. Baby pull over, Lucious pull over" Cookie shouted.
Lucious pulled over.
Cookie unbuckled and got off. "Cookie really come on man" Lucious muttered. "Just a minute!" She said.

"Valentine...tell me again, why should I hire you?" Cookie asked walking back.
"I-- I know the music." She said. "and?"
"I worked in the show business before?"
"Where?"
"Here in New York, just two blocks down" she said.
That voice got lost in her head again.
She looked at valentine. "Call porsha. She will set up your proper interview" Cookie said, Cookie was turning back
"Cookie!" Tiana called out. Cookie rolled her eyes and turned...

Why can't they leave her alone?!
"Yes!" She said.
"Have you seen Prince... We looked everywhere for him, the stupid baby sitter lost my son in this large crowd" Tiana said. Lucious got off the car.

Cookie and Lucious looked at each other.
"What happened?" Lucious asked Tiana. "She came with the kids and now we can't fine Prince" Tiana said.

"Somebody be tasting me today" Cookie said.
Lucious made a call.
"Close the doors, nobody is going home until my grandson is found" Lucious said on the call.
They all rushed back inside.
Cookie looked back, Valentine wasn't there anymore.
"What the..."
She looked around. There was no sign that she was even there in the first place.

They rushed inside.
People were complaining, they were about to start a riot.
"Oh boy" Cookie muttered looking around. The place was distractingly loud.
Porsha brought two Mic's for Lucious and Cookie. "they will listen to you too" she said.

Cookie looked at Porsha's baby bump. "You should really go home before this gets out of control. It is not safe" Cookie said. "I know, I will go after we find Prince"

"Good evening" Lucious said demanding attention.
Is like he just increased Volume on the speakers, the people became louder and louder. He looked at Cookie.

"This is bad" she said before she on the mic.
"To all empire fans, we are sorry to do this to you, we know you need to get home to your loved ones, but my grandson is missing, yeah he was here amongst us and just like that he wasn't anymore. Now I'm not assuming that he is in your bags, under your armpit or anything... But would you please work with the security. Do what they say and you will be out of here in no time...we are asking for a little bit of your cooperation" Cookie said. They finally listened.

Cookie turned to give Porsha the mic...
"What do you need Cookie, I can help" valentine said. "You can stop disappearing like the wind and get off my way, that's all you can do" Cookie said and walked away from her.

She looked at Tiana. Tiana looked back at her.
"We gonna find him" Hakeem Said to Tiana.
"Why is she looking at me like that?" Tiana asked.
"Who baby?"
"That girl with red hair. She's looking at me strangely"

Hakeem followed Tiana's eyes. Valentine rushed out of the venue.
"Something is up with that red head" Tiana said.
"I will have the security search her and Question her immediately" Hakeem said and rushed over to the exit double door where the security searched people one after the other.

Cookie was across the room looking at Valentine, scanning her eyes through.
Lucious approached her.
"You look tired" he said. "Something about that girl Lucious, I swear something about her don't give me peace of mind." Cookie said.
"Should I tell thirsty to look her up?"
"Please" Cookie said. "on it. First name Valentine last name?"

"She doesn't have"
"What... That's creepy" Lucious said. "Now you see what I mean?!" Cookie said turning all her attention to Lucious.
"I do yes. I will find out don't worry" Lucious said.
