Victoria Langley: slamming a letter on the table Did you know? That bastard's not impotent! How the hell do we fix this?
quickly gets out of the car, scanning their surroundings Alright, LucyTagz, we need to find a safe place to set up our new identities.
yeah i can move quickly when needed
spots a nearby rental agency, urgency in her voice LucyTagz, there's a rental agency up ahead! We can secure a place to stay and start fresh.
rushes towards the rental agency, speaking quickly LucyTagz, we need to act fast. We can't waste any time.
the owner recognizes me hey boss man!
steps in front of Jaxon, shielding him with her body Back off, mister! We won't tolerate any disrespect here.
ignores her and goes inside
follows Jaxon inside, keeping a close eye on the owner LucyTagz, stay close to me. We need to make sure he doesn't cause any trouble.
we manage to rent a place and get some furniture
surveys the rented place, thinking quickly LucyTagz, we need to secure the perimeter.
snaps into action, pacing around the room LucyTagz, we need to set up some barricades. We can't take any chances.
sets up a miniature laser defense system
grabs a toolbox from the shed, her hands moving swiftly LucyTagz, we need to fortify this place. We can't afford any surprises.
we end up setting up a pretty safe hideout
paces back and forth, deep in thought LucyTagz, we need to come up with a cover story. We can't let anyone know who we really are.
well i was an oil rig worker before all this shit hit the fan
pauses mid-pace, a mischievous glint in her eyes Oil rig worker, huh? Alright, LucyTagz, let's work with that.
after a couple of days of sitting around the house she comes to me hey, why don’t you start looking for work again?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones LucyTagz, we need to be smart about this. We can't just jump into any job.
i know, i’m thinking maybe try to get work at one of the local factories?
nods, a determined look on her face LucyTagz, we'll use my background as a teacher to our advantage.
ok, what did you have in mind?
grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement LucyTagz, we'll create a believable backstory together.
starts pacing again, ideas flowing rapidly Okay, LucyTagz, first we'll say I'm a dedicated tutor.
but we’d have to find a school that would hire you without a teaching certificate
stops pacing, her expression turning cunning Don't worry, LucyTagz. I've got it all figured out.
smirks, her voice dripping with confidence LucyTagz, we'll say you're a skilled handyman.
yeah, people seem to respect my skills more if they know who i am
As Victoria and Jaxon start their new jobs as tutors and handymen, they begin to rebuild their lives and establish a new identity.
a couple of weeks pass and i’m called by the factory owner asking me to come in early hey boss man! i say as i walk in
raises an eyebrow, her tone sharp Boss man? You really think you can just call someone by their title without any respect?
the owner smirks at her he tells me he wants me to work on one of his machinery since i fixed the last one right away
narrows her eyes, stepping forward with a stern glare Listen here, you arrogant prick. My husband may have been too soft-spoken for your liking, but let me make something clear: you show him any disrespect, and you deal with me. Got it? Owner: taken aback, stammers Uh...sorry, ma'am. Didn't mean to offend. Just wanted him to get started on the machinery.
i laugh no worries boss, i’ll get right to it
crosses her arms, her tone firm Make sure you do your job properly this time, mister. I won't tolerate any slacking off. And if you think you can push us around, well, think again. You might not like the outcome if you do. Got it? Boss: nervously nods Yes, ma'am. I'll make sure everything's taken care of. No more problems.
after a few hours i come out hey hon! i say to her
rolls her eyes, her tone exasperated Oh great, Jaxon. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, we've got another one of your "hey hon" nonsense.
sorry, didn’t mean to bother you
snaps Well, you should be sorry! Can't you see I'm trying to come up with a plan to make sure our new identities stick?
paces back and forth, her voice filled with determination Alright, LucyTagz, listen up. We need to create a believable backstory.
stops pacing, her voice assertive First, we need to establish our new identities. I'll be Mrs. Langley, the devoted wife.
