"You shouldn't go out until we have figured out what is going on. That is an order, in case you were wondering." He opened the door for her and Victoria walked into the conference room. Oddly enough it was empty. Mason sat down at the large table and looked intently at Victoria. "So... What exactly were you out doing when you lost my mackie card?" Victoria sat down across from him and placed her legs on the table, her red heels almost touching Mason. She was glad he asked, the talk about the murders made her uncomfortable. Not like she wasn't used to killing, because she was. But it was something different when it was CEO vampires being killed. It worried her, especially because the last time a club had been burned down. There was a huge chance that she was one of the next victims.

"I was on my way to the club, but I didn't have my card with me so I borrowed yours." She paused a little and gave him an apologizing smile. "I was talking with my bouncer Jake, you know... because of the murders and all. And I placed it on the counter for a second, but when I looked again it was gone." Using two fingers, she pulled her mobile phone out of the pocket in her jeans. She held it up in front of her and started typing Sarah's number. She had given the human a cheap mobile just so she could get in contact with her. But usually the damn girl never even brought it with her. Victoria ignored Mason for a second and waited for Sarah to pick up the phone, but she got the answering machine. "Hey human... It's me." Victoria had an irritated look on her face, as if she was talking to Sarah in person. "You do remember me, don't you?" With a frown she examined her nails. I need a manicure. "I'm gonna be busy all day and probably some of the night as well." Her eyes met Mason's and she bit her lip. "So I need you to talk to Emma. Just say that I'm gonna be busy, she'll take care of things." Emma was Victoria's best friend - and a vampire. "As for you... Just answer the damn phone next time." Victoria hung up and placed the mobile phone back into her pocket. With a smile and eyes like a puppy's, she placed her feet back on the ground and leaned over the table. "Sorry 'bout that."
