Sex, Lies, and Wolfram & Hart {KARLIE/OPEN}

[LEXINGTON HOLDEN CRANE]

Lex sat alone in his office mulling over the quarterlies of the past year, his father thought it'd be best if Lex had to do some menial task to show him what its' really like working in a law-firm, truth be told Lex knew exactly how Wolfram and Hart worked and sorting out-dated quarterly files wasn't something that Lex needed to be doing. Its more of the work of a real intern, or some sort of demon with the mental capacity of a dog. Lex cursed under his breath as he continued on this pointless task in his head appointed office.

Truth be told, no intern would even be working in any office if it be someone else's or communal, let alone actually own one. There are perks however if you father is the CEO and president of the London Branch of Wolfram and Hart. Though the perks don't come without a price, and the watchful eye of his father seems to be closing in, something he'd prefer not happen in this life time.

The witch he hired, to attempting to obtain the power of the Slayers, and everything in between including challenging him eventually to the chair of CEO in front of the Senior partners, and he'd make sure they'd favor him above all. Lex tossed several papers on the floor with frustration and opened a locked cabinet under his desk removing a folder, the cabinet under his desk contained all of his research files into the world of Slayers and what really gives them their power.

There was a instance he recorded about a boy obtaining amazing abilities that resembled that of a Slayer, he had a twin sister which could explain as such. Lex knows the power shouldn't reject him if he obtained it, he'd have to call some people to get a hold of the young man, he'd be an interesting specimen indeed.

She didn’t know what she was going here. She didn’t know what she was looking for. She didn’t even know what she’d found so far. Karlie and Riley had hacked her dads computer and found file upon file about testing that had been done on Karlie and on at least 1/3 of the files she saw another name, Lyra James. Riley had tried to find some information on this girl and had come across something else instead, he came across a firm that had been doing the same research on them that they were trying to do. Once Riley had traced it back to one person, Karlie decided she would rather confront them instead of trying to find out who or what this girl was. Maybe they’d have some kind of idea what was going on with her. After all if he knew about ‘Lyra’ she could have he same thing going on as she did.

She hadn’t even really planned what she was going to do she just got in her car and drove. This guy had been listed at Wolfram and Hart which Karlie found strange honestly. They were a law firm. In fact they were the law firm her mother used when she was divorcing her dad. She had walked straight in heading up to the reception desk. She’d asked the woman at the desk where she could find Lexington Crane and had been asked if she had an appointment. She lied and said she did and the woman behind the desk rang up to ask his personal assistant, saying how no one seemed to be at the desk so she’d be right back and headed over to ask someone. Karlie couldn’t help but wonder if she was new or just stupid or something. With that Karlie placed her hands on the desk, pulling herself up and looking over to the screen and reading what floor and room he was in before swiftly moving off, further into the building.

Karlie was FAR from scared of security right now. Hell the worst they could do was shoot her. Honestly it was exciting to her to find out if she could survive a gun shot wound. She was managing to survive everything else so why not that? Eventually Karlie got where she needed to be, knocking gently on the door as she approached it. She was being a lot more polite than she wanted to, but though she knew she probably could survive an attack, she was here for answers so she didn’t want to draw attention to herself. Law firms were normally big on security. Probably something about psychos that don’t get what they want.

It amazed Karlie how no one had even raised an eyebrow at the blonde walking through their offices, standing at one of their lawyers doors. Karlie knocked again, this time a little more impatiently. She wanted an answer and she was going to get it!!!!

Lex continued to work through some important files he needed to address, as well as funding for a Special Departments project that he was going to set up under the supervision of th Senior Partners themselves if he was ever going to run this company, he hoped that he was what they looked for in rising stars. If not, he'd make sure he did before these next two months were up. He wanted to move forward with his plans, even if it meant putting himself within the sights of this 'Watchers Council', if he had to play the corporate Big Bad, he would, and he'll let nothing stand in his way.

When several knocks sounded at the door he raised his eyebrow in suspicion, he looked over towards the digital calendar implanted into the desk, he had no appointments. He merely shrugged and called the person in.

"Enter, make it quick." As he hunched over his desk once more, continuing to go through papers.

((OOC: Its' short, but until she entered I didn't know what to write.))

Karlie had heard someone shout to enter and make it quick. Now the butterflys rose up inside her. There was a difference between wanting to know something and actually getting your answers. She wasn’t totally sure she would get them but she could and that was enough for her. Karlie had taken a deep breath and pushed open the door gently, entering the room, her eyes searching out the man who’s room she’d entered only seconds before. As her eyes laid upon him, Karlie began to speak. “Lexington Crane?” She asked, waiting for some sort of confirmation or something. Karlie didn’t know what was going on and she also didn’t know that Lex knew someone that looked EXACTLY like her. How would she really? It’s not the sorta thing you guess either. ‘Oh maybe I have a secret twin that my parents never told me about and when we were born we got split up so I could be tested on and ended up becoming super girl!’ No Karlie was more working on ‘Maybe I’m a freak of nature…. Who knows who Lyra is, or this guy, but I want to know!’ She needed answers. Her world was starting to crumble around her.

Lex looked up from his work and smiled as the girl entered, he didn't know she wasn't whom he thought, which was his new employed secretary Lyra. He near shook his head and smiled as he looked back down at his work, he blinked a few times as he began sorting through files. Before turning to his computer, flicking on the screen she called him by his full name, rather inquisitvely. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"I thought I told you that you could just call me Lex." He chuckled a bit shaking his head, sighing as he began clicking on this and that, typing, sending business e-mails, and conducting and reviewing internal online applications for special projects he would then set up. Got to keep on top of things, especially if he planned an internal hostile take over of the CEO seat and please the Senior Partners. After a few more moments of this he looked up again, his brow showing some sort of concern for the woman.

"Is something wrong Lyra? First day gitters? Remember, that desk over on the other side of the room is yours until we can get you your own area to work in." He pointed to the newly furnished desk on the other side of the room, there was still a bit of packaging on the leg from when it was unpacked, and there were pencils still in their packaging on the table, along with things like scissors, and such, there was also an unpackaged laptop sitting underneath some lighter office equipment waiting to be used.

As Karlie entered the man behind the desk had looked up at her with a smile and gone back to her work. She frowned and had questioned his name. Most people would be at least question who the hell she was, what she was doing there and why she’d come to him. So it was the fact he was unaffected that shocked and confused Karlieann! But she didn’t know she was about to be confused even further with those few words, that one sentence. I thought I told you that you could just call me Lex. She’d never even met this guy so when she was supposed to have said that she didn’t know. If he’d looked at her instead of just going about like everything was normal then he probably would have worked it out, after all he confusion was all over her face. She’d gone in there with all the courage and determination to shout and scream but now was just stood there like a fish out of water - confused and flabbergasted. Then the words that really shocked Karlie came out of his mouth.

Karlie did literally stop. He called her Lyra. That was the name in the girl in the files. What the hell? First day gitters? Desk? What?? Karlie just stood there, looking down at herself to check she was still her. Check!!! “Excuse me?? I d… don’t understand….” She was off her game something she promised herself she wouldn’t let happen. “Who is Lyra? More importantly what do you know about her and well…. What do you know about how she’s linked to me??!”

Lex wasn't one to muse about things in the past that didn't concern him, though he was a history buff of sorts he is only interested in those he felt some sort of connection too or those who had risen to greatness. One such a conflicting issue was with The Man with the Angelic Face, his story is a rather dreary one but there were key parts in his life or afterlife that had intrigued Lex. His whole persona, the fact that he was a deadly beauty and not a seductress nor women, he took what he wanted and he made those pay for crossing him. He ascended in notorious ranks despite his age, and even now he is a well feared name despite perhaps current conditions. The wonder that is the Wolfram and Hart data base.

Needless to say it provided him with a lot of information, even that on his new employee Lyra Forester James and her identical twin sister, the one he was supposedly talking to now. Funny how that works. He was given notice that someone was hacking into their security files that were stored in third party databases, needless to say perhaps they should have a word with their source and tech-department because clearly any genius can get their hands on it. Perhaps some sort of internet spell, that'd be interesting, might see if thats doable with Lyra.

"I take it your name is Karlieann. Funny how heaven broke beauty in two, I guess it was only a matter of time before you found each other but I didn't think I'd have to mediate." Sighing, Lex leaned over to his under-desk filing cabinent and took out a file that was listed James/Rhys, as it was the connections he lined between the two. He tossed the file on his desk and motioned her to retrieve it.

"All I know about the two of you is in that folder, nothing personal on Lyra's side so I don't mind giving it to you. I make sure I protect my employees. I feel you'd be amazed at the resemblance, I obviously am. Lyra of course is your twin." Lex sort of frowned, he is unsure of Lyra's knowledge on this but he'd like to make sure she was kept on a need to know basis. He needed her and her magic and the last thing he needed was her gallivanting around with her sister who might not see eye-to-eye on the business he is conducting through Wolfram and Hart.
