the truth is a bitter pill to swallow.

After the confession between them, Igor and Maisie were back to their usual routines with a hint of being 'happy go lucky' towards one another. The two managed to spend most of their time together without looking suspicious towards anyone. So they thought. They didn't try anything too dangerous that could get Igor into any real trouble. They stayed out of view when doing anything indecent.

One day it had come to light that Maisie did in fact leave the White Angels. She let it slip that she had left the group for her mother, and even felt sorry about what she they had done to Igor, which he was very unsure what EXACTLY they did. Maisie didn't know either, but it was apparent enough that Igor had been brainwashed.

The meeting between friends?!

At Gene's house: (Gene was a friend of Maisie's from college that introduced her and the leader of the White angels)

"She left us, for what reason?!" A furious Jack Smack slammed his fist on Gene's brown wooden desk.

"She told me she couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't keep lying to her mother. She couldn't keep hurting her family and her servant."

"Her servant?!" Jack shouted, obviously only paying attention to one aspect of Maisie's reason for leaving.
"Which servant?!"

"Her right hand servant, Igor." Gene stared at Jack hoping he wouldn't get anymore angry. Unfortunately, he did get more angry, furious even.

"Igor?! The one she 'dislikes'?!" Jack steamed. A vein bulged out above his right eyebrow. His face was as red as a beet. He wanted to smack Maisie. (See what I did there? No? His last name was slipped into a sentence and actually being used as a verb) His prejudice attitude against GenAlucards was pretty apparent and leaked off his face.
Maisie was someone special to Jack. She was one of the most pretty girls he had ever seen. He wanted her for himself. He wanted her to be his queen. His trophy. His right hand woman.

"We're going over there right now and getting this straightened out!" Jack hissed. Gene tried to get out of his way, but he pushed her aside, right into the wall, giving her a bruise on her right shoulder.

At the Lennox Mansion:

Jack's hover car landed right next to the front gate. He had to ask for permission to come inside to the Lennox mansion just like anyone else. He pushed the conference button.

"Hello, Welcome to the Lennox Mansion, what can I do for you today, Sir?"

"We're here to see Maisie."

"And who may I say are you?"

"I'm her friend Jack. This person right next to me is Gene."

"Oh yes, Gene. Come right in." Jack didn't give the guard any reason to suspect him of any ill intentions. Without any further questions the gates opened up wide letting him and Gene come in.

Jack knocked on the door. Drude, the servant of odd tasks, answered.

"Oh hello." The GenAlucard bowed. As expected of one. Even one who really didn't have respect for humans. "You're Gene, and Mr. Jack."

"How did you know my name?" Jack eyed him.

"Oh, I heard about you from Mistress Maisie." Drude actually had over heard Maisie blabbering on about Jack to her mother in the hallway while he was watering flowers.

"Yeah OK." Jack still looked at him suspiciously, still keeping his cool around a being he severely disliked. When did Maisie talk to her servants?
