What We Do in The Shadows: "Jen..."

Summary: There are unexpected consequences when Laszlo seeks a new human familiar...

Part LXXIII...

Ginny Zeller's office...Ginny, fresh in her pink suit, at desk facing camera with friendly expression...

An astonishingly relaxed Ginny with camera now, as compared with the Ginny of preenthrallment, a few weeks ago...

If anything, eager now to see things with the documentary done properly, in terms of showing the world just how wonderful Lady Nadja and her other beloved Overlords really are...

"So, Simon called and wanted to know if the 'alliance' had been accepted and as I had authorization from our Overlords, I told him, yes, tentatively..." Ginny nods. "But, we...Or rather our Lords and my Lady...Ask that we have the full history of his dealings with Dr. Van Helsing and his relationship with Miss Ciara, Dr. Van Helsing's descendant. He claims he'd be glad to tell the story and wants a meeting. I told him it would have to be tomorrow...I didn't mention tonight we begin the move to Fieldersen or rather 'Relentless-Cravenswood' now, just that the Overlords were busy getting their things in order. I figured it would sweeten the deal if I suggested they were ready to sell to him, which in fact they are, so long as he accepts their final offer. He seemed pretty pleased, even a bit eager to tell his story. Maybe he plans to gloat a bit over something about the Van Helsing girl or his deal with the doctor. Naturally we'll do it here...The earlier in the evening the better..." eyeing the specially treated windows.

Ponders... "In any case, so far, so good. Hopefully we can pull off the initial move tonight without any interruption from any of our foes. It's too bad Guillermo can't be here to supervise but we'll do our best." Warm smile. "I mean that you know...We all, except maybe Jen...Who did see what he could be right away, bless her...Did once think Gui a little well, not quite Chief Minion material. But he's proven us wrong, sweet kid. I only worry he's too eager, going down to Mexico with more on his mind than his poor aunt. Susan's keepin' an eye on him, though, ready to give him any support he needs. But now we know Dracula is involved and is down there in the persona of Dr. Acura, we can't help worrying that something's up. That our Gui might be trying to play hero..." sigh. "Hang on, one sec..." she picks up buzzing phone, raising hand. "Sure, Martha..."

"Hey, hon. Yeah, come on in. I've got a film crew and everything for you." Grin. "No, seriously. One of my clients, Mr. Cravensworth, is actually documenting things from his life, including this sale. Well...I guess I am..." smile. "A lot more mellow, my girl says." She hisses to camera, beaming. "I'm so glad to have you home, honey. Grandma ok? Good, good. Come right on in, don't worry, I'm not too busy. Come on in."

She hangs up, slightly sheepish look...

"My younger daughter Jacqueta's home from Spain where she stayed with my mom who retired to the old country, for her family, twenty years ago. I don't think she's used to a mom who can make time for her in the start, middle, or end of a business day." Wry shrug... "Not that I didn't care or intentionally put her off...Please don't think it was anything spilling over from things with my ex, Roy. I love my girls and while I won't deny I was ambitious and concerned with making my business a success, maybe too much so, I really did always have them in mind." Anxious stare.

Knock...

"Hey, come in, baby!" cheery call...Door opening to reveal a tall, red-haired teen, Jacqueta Zeller, in spring style older teen clothing, jeans, blouse, denim jacket, floppy hat.

"Hi, Mom!" nod, smile. Coming over for a hug... "Oh, excuse me..." to camera.

"No, no...It's ok, just be natural. The...Mr. Cravensworth is looking for strictly natural in this thing."
