Unexpected visitor

The lessons seemed to slow to a crawl but you eventually managed to get through them with Emma at your side. She seemed appreciative of the intelligence upgrades she had received but even she started to get bored towards the end of the lessons that you both shared. She sadly also hadn’t managed to come up with any more ideas for Rebecca but you had enough to go on for when you went to see her at lunch and now that Emma was aware of the issue, you were sure she would think of something eventually.

You told her where you were heading and left her with a kiss on the forehead, still not confident enough to kiss her properly in a room full of people and made your way towards Rebecca’s office. You’d also warned Emma that you would likely not be able to walk home with her given that you were going straight to the gym and although she gave you a pout, she seemed to accept it when you said you would make it up to her.

You knew that she would most likely be late from helping other students so you happily waited next to her office door, leaning your back against the wall as you tried to make your wait a little more comfortable.

You were thinking of checking your phone given how quiet the corridor was compared to the rest of the school, when the door next to Rebecca’s office was flung open and scared the hell out of you. If you had been even a step closer to the office, you were pretty sure the door would have smacked you full **** and with a probable concussion. A quick look at the wall now that the door had moved showed a large dent in the brick wall and a lot of peeled off paint so you knew this wasn’t just a one-off occurrence.

Out from behind the door, a smart-looking woman you would say was in her late 50’s walked out of the room, carrying a bunch of overflowing folders and wearing a formal suit that didn’t seem to match the rest of the school. You had only seen her a few times throughout your time here but that was enough to know that she was the principal and more importantly, Rebecca’s mother.

She shut the door behind her and only then seemed to realise that someone else was actually standing there. She gave you a quick look up and down as if she was trying to find some fault in your appearance but quickly turned her attention to the door you were standing next to.

“What are you loitering around here for?” she asked disdainfully, sounding like you had somehow offended her just for taking up space in her school.

“I’m waiting for... Miss Ryan” you answered, pausing to stop yourself from calling her Rebecca.

The woman gave you a tut and mumbled to herself.

“That daughter of mine should....” she whispered, getting quieter as she spoke and making you miss the end of her sentence.

She spun around on the spot and darted off down the stairs, nearly colliding with another student who unluckily happened to be in the corridor at the time. You briefly thought about the possibility of adding her to the KDK as a subject, if only just to make Rebecca’s life easier but you doubted that she would ever let anyone touch her for 5 seconds let alone you. You had no desire towards her anyway so you dismissed the ideas as quickly as it came.

You let out a sigh of relief and saw that Rebecca was walking up the stairs, looking annoyed at first as she had walked past her mother before her expression lightened up once she saw you waiting for her. You didn’t think you could get that sort of reaction out of her but were happy that she saw you in a positive way and not negatively after your encounter on Saturday.

She was sadly not wearing the clothes you had picked out for her at the mall but you knew they were a little too risky for her to start wearing so suddenly. That wasn’t to say you didn’t enjoy her current outfit. She looked quite professional with a sleek grey blazer covering her white buttoned-up shirt and a black pencil skirt that hid her things from your gaze.

“I take it you ran into my mother?” she asked, interrupting your thoughts as she deflated a little just from the mention of the woman.

“Briefly. She nearly flattened me with her door before but other than that, I escaped her wrath” you joked, pointing over your shoulder to the mess she made of the wall.

“I wish I could say this is the first time she's done that” Rebecca said, tilting her head to see where you were pointing before sighing and going to unlock her office.

Rebecca gestured for you to enter the room first once she unlocked the door and you sneakily activated her level 1 active effect to make her lock the door behind the two of you. This would be the first time speaking with her since she had made it to level 2 so you wanted to test how effective both her passive and active effects were now that they were upgraded.

Passive -
Subject is more likely to give the User control over their actions and more likely to defer to them on decisions involving the subject themselves.

Active -
Loose Lips
Condition(s): Be alone with the User and/or with other Subjects
Effect(s): When activated, the subject will be more likely to reveal secrets to the User that they would be hesitant to do otherwise. Their thoughts will be directed towards more kinky secrets during the activation but is not limited to just secrets that are sexual in nature.
Cooldown: 3 hours

A quick check of her details was all you needed to refresh your memory and while you were just starting off your conversation, you decided to try and get some extra details out of her.

Activating ‘Loose Lips’

“I think you mentioned last time that you don’t live with her anymore, right? It’s probably got easier to deal with her now that you don’t see her 24/7” you asked, starting off with an innocent enough question.

“You’re telling me” she sighed, leaning back into her office chair.

“Where do you live now by the way?” you asked again, ready to brush off any of her concerns if she thought you went too far.

Surprisingly she gave you her address like it wasn’t anything she needed to keep to herself while you tried your best to engrave it into your memory before you could forget. You even asked for her phone number and she happily listed off her digits which you sneakily entered into your phone that you kept below the desk. You considered your first two tests to be more than successful and decided to try something riskier to see if she would go any further.

Her active description never listed a timer for how long she would be divulging information so you wanted to get to the juicier stuff before she stopped being so open.

“I think you're lucky having your own place. I know I’ve had my fair share of near misses where my family have nearly walked in on me during my ‘personal’ time. I bet you have your own similar stories right?” you asked, trying your best to bring the previous topic down a more exciting route.

“Well sure there have been times when… God, I don’t know why I’m telling you this” she replied, starting to blush at what she was about to reveal.

“Come on tell me, I promise I’ll tell you my story as well. I’ll put in 110% effort on that paperwork later as well” you pleaded, hoping the effect hadn’t run out so soon.

“Ah so you haven't forgotten about that. I was planning on letting you off if you didn’t bring it up” she grinned, letting you know you had missed an opportunity to save yourself some work.

“Dammit, Don’t start trying to change the subject either” you shot back, not caring too much about the added work if you got to spend more time with her after classes finished.

You could see her wavering about actually following through with the story but you tried to keep a neutral expression as you waited for her decision.
