Can't let the cat out of the bag (Vash x Shameless)

[X-Vash00]

A lone figure sat in the dark of his basement laboratory, the only thing illuminating the area was the light of his computer monitor. On the monitor were several people dressed in elite fashion, business suits of the highest quality, some fine dresses, and some lab coats. They were all in video conference screens looking at only a shadowed figure. "Doctor," a woman began, "Is the serum you presented ready for sale yet?" The lone figure sat in silence for a moment thinking of what to say. Once the words were put together in his mind he spoke. "Not yet," He said, his voice was deep thanks to a voice modulator that was running, "I am still working out some minor details I need to work out on my newest test subject before it is ready." They all gave their own versions of threats about what would happen if he did not have it ready soon. It worried him little since he had enough money to keep him well secured. With that he killed the video conference and stood up from his chair and turned on the lights revealing himself. He slicked his silver hair (a result from one of his earliest chemistry experiments when he was an adolescent) back to its normal style. He was Vergil Knight, the young hot shot CEO of Knight International, a chemical company that has supplied 85% of the worlds chemical needs and even producing some of its own for sale. The company has had three stellar quarters and were now the top company in its field. Vergil had managed to stay out of the spotlight since the company gained its fame, not many knew of his face and he was going to keep it that way for as long as he could, but the media was hell bound to end that, which was prevalent in this most recent event.

Many news reporters have been trying to get in to his research and bring the true lift of their purpose to the public. Luckily Vergil kept most of his research on his own private and secure sever, no one was getting to it. Still there was he hance that some one could physically get in and find his love experiments, but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon; he was sure of it.

"....tell Veronica to get her ass in here," the City desk editor said to one of his underlings....the newspaper had been beaten to a good, 'page one' story----a 'scoop', as it was known in the field---one too many times and the Editor wasn't about to let it happen again. Veronica was probably the best news hound on the paper, which said volumes considering how many reporters were on staff....the fact that the slender 25 year old was a ravishing beauty didn't exactly hurt either.....the 5'6" brunette wasn't tall--shorter than many of her female friends---but with her curves, those dark brown eyes and her 36D tits, she recieved more than her fair share of second glances when she walked down corridors.

"you called for me, chief?" she asked as she entered the office.....
"yeah Ronnie," he replied, "sit down....since you broke that story on that cosmetic company killing off those rabbits last year, I figured I'd give you aother crack at it....I want you to get the straight dope on Knight International, and in particular the head honcho, a mr. Vergil Knight....see what makes this guy tick...."
Veronica smiled...."shit," she replied...."nobody even knows what the hell he looks like....the guy went 'poof' like Howard Hughes..."...she crosed her legs and in doing so revealed accidently just a hint of panty, an occurence the editor thanked god just then that he was in the right place and time to see...."they say he's got his own little chemistry set and doing secret shit...."
"the 'secret shit' as you put it," the editor replied, "is the reason I'm assigning you to the story....I have a connection within the company...not a great one, but at least we can get you into the company....you'll need this..."...he pulled open a drawer and gave her an employee badge with her face on it but a ficticious name...."you'll be a new hire in the secretarial pool....get in there and get that story..."

The next day Veronica dressed conservatively and reported to work at knight International, reported to the research and development department as a newly hired secretary and setled into her new job....the corporate mole her editor had told her which of the myrid of doors would lead her into the lab and she wasted little time discovering them.....
walking down a couple of corridors she came across the main lab enterance....the door was code locked but the mole gave her the combination. After punching in the numerical sequence, she quietly entered....
