Flashback: Two years ago.
The Red King was starting to nod off where he lounged. His associates thanked Minnie for her performances and for the 'joint operation' they'd participated in earlier together. They get her coat for her and show her out.
Minnie returns to her little flat and waits as instructed for the knock at the door. She's tired, but she can't go to bed yet. The Tall Lady is coming.

	Minnie blinks in surprise -- not that she objects to Julian having a sex life, but she normally only sees it when it's common friends. Because in those cases, she was there, too. At six or so, seeing that he's most likely getting all his needs fulfilled by some girl who looks like everything she's not... "Yes, thank you, Ma'am," she says in a very small voice.

	"At your next meeting, you will direct the Red King to receive Julian at their next gathering, in two weeks. Those who would aid Julian in forging his empire will be there; he must meet them." she says. "Once you have done this, you will leave for Australia immediately." she says. "Debts must be repaid in kind and one of my enemies must learn a sharp lesson." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie isn't nearly stupid enough to ask to stay until Julian comes, but her heart aches. "Yes, Ma'am. Whatever needs doing." Still, she'll get the quiet times, alone at night, to know that things are going well for Julian, and she helped, even if she can't be there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Excellent, Minerva." she says. And then, because she has to make sure Julian's pet isn't going to keel over and die anytime soon... "How are you faring? Are you in need of money or food? Clothing?" Selene asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fine, thank you, Ma'am. I'll just need to get a new coat if I'm going to change hemispheres." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Obtain what is necessary. You know how." Selene says, rising from her chair. "You will see me again in three weeks' time. I will come to you in the dark. You will report again then. If you do well, you will see Julian. Do not fail me." Selene says. She doesn't have to add any threats. Minnie already knows what the price of failure is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her heart surges at the offer of seeing Julian. And threats are certainly not necessary. She bows with a "Yes, Ma'am. Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)
