What option does she have?

She was dressed. Technically. That was the best reasoning Kate could think off to convince herself to quickly grab her keys and her phone and leave. As she stepped outside, she could feel the morning breeze, cold in her thighs, as she closed the robe as tight as she could. The robe was actually long, almost touching the ground, but merely knowing she only had her panties on beneath it was enough to make her cheeks flush with embarassment.

She quickly entered her car, and had an uneventful drive to Shorty's. Luckily it wasn't even 7 AM. She parked and entered without running, to avoid drawing atention to her, but she walked briskly. As she entered, she noticed Virginia on the back most table, and as she approached, she noticed her, dressed in a leather jacket and jeans, boots finishing her look. Quite different from the business attire she saw before.

"Sit. Stop staring, it's unpolite". Virginia said sternly.

"Sorry, I'm just surprised..."

"By how I'm dressed, yeah, I know. Your histeric outcry yesterday prevented us from doing business, so I have to negotiate today, on my day off." Virginia said, with a rather displeased look.

Kate was about to say she was sorry for the trouble, but then she remembered actually why she answered her call that early. "Listen bitch..."

"SIT. DOWN. NOW!!!" Virginia said, the menacing tone returning with new vigor, the command being almost screamed.

Kate blushed and looked around. Luckily the cafe was still empty, but being a week day , even though Shorty's was out of the way to go basically anywhere, it was bound to have customers at any second. After sitting, she opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Virginia's forceful tone.

"You came here, there was only one reason, one possibility for you to have come: you KNOW you are screwed. Considering your profile, you came to see how screwed you are. Let me save you the trouble. You are REALLY, REALLY, REEEEEEEEALLY, screwed". She stopped as the waitress came bringing 2 plates of bacon and eggs, pouring coffee for Kate and refilling Virginia's. Kate started opening her mouth to speak as the waitress left, but was interrupted again. "Yes, I actually DO work for Alternative Solutions, and yes, you can check it by checking your phone. I directed a couple of news articles where I can be seen". Virginia started eating as Kate picked her phone and started checking the articles sent. Her concern became despair as she read the articles, she could see not only that Virginia worked for Alternative Solutions, but also was one of the BEST to work there. Among the most notable articles, there was one that showed her preventing a civil war on a third world country, and another that showed her solving a litigious divorce in an european royal family.

"I'm not answering your next question for free." Virginia said, without looking up from her plate.

"What is my next question?" Kate was afraid now. The woman in front of her was barely older, but already prevented at least one world crisis. And what was worse, and far more freightening: everytime she tried to speak, the woman interrupted her and answered her question. It was almost like she was...

"I'm not reading your mind, so far even we couldn't gather evidence that it exists. No, I'm not going to tell you my secret, and your question is 'why I'm going after you'. But as I said, I'm not answering that for free."
