39 * Accidental video

[Someone's going through papers on a desk. It looked like it had been organized, once, but that organization had been gone. Rachel's muttering to herself, obviously trying to find something.]

I know it's in here somewhere - who the hell was going through this place...?

...Jesus, where's Bobby Drake when you need an accountant?

[She sees a piece of paper and grabs it.]

Ah-ha! Oh, wait, this is from last month's payroll. Where's...

Holy crap, is this Goodfellow's old tab?

[She shakes her head and goes back to looking.]

This is gonna take forever.

How long do you wait before you pass it on to someone else? People who own businesses should have documents on who gets things when they leave...

[He glanced over at her.]

I know what you mean.

Niko didn't want it, he was happy to just hold it until Ishiah came back.

[She idly sorted a few of the papers strewn on the desk.]

Kitty's come and gone a few times, Kara, Niko and just about everyone from his world... did you know that there are only four people left from my world, there used to be a dozen or so of us.

There used to be six of us here from my world, now it's just me.

[Kirk gave a bit of a shrug.]

I guess it helps if you're not used to having people around.

..not really used to that. Haven't been alone for awhile - everyone's been kinda keeping a close eye on me back home.

[Rachel started making some notes on a notepad.]

How are you doing here, Rachel?

My parents ran a school, dozens and dozens of students, lots of details...

[She looked up.]

Better pray I inherited some of it.

[She pushed the notes toward him.]

I think that's what we need to pay everyone this month. We'll need the receipts for supplies for the last few weeks to make sure we can cover those going forward - and we'll need to talk to the suppliers? Yeah, probably.

Am I forgetting anything?

[Kirk shook his head.]

That's not what I meant.

Huh?

[She missed something and blinked a few times when she looked up from the figures again.]

Rachel, how are you doing here in the City?

Oh.

[She shrugged, moving a few papers around.]

Okay, I mean, Kitty came back, Kara's still around, I'm kinda seeing someone...

[Kirk nodded, he knew exactly who she was seeing. And he knew she could do so, so much better, but that wasn't his place.]

Not about to throw anyone through a table?

Not lately.

[She considers. And smiles - despite the fact that she saw that look.]

Give it time. It always comes back sooner or later.

[Kirk gave her a smile back.]

I'm glad you're doing better, Rachel.

[She took a deep breath and smiled.]

And even if I weren't, I have plenty to distract me now, right?

[He smirked at her.]

Exactly, running Lux will take a lot of time.

Am I getting in over my head?

Have you ever managed something before?

[She paused, thinking, it was a hard question to answer, really.]

Technically? No, but I have some memories of running a revolution for seventy odd years and founding a religion.

[Kirk gave her a puzzled look.]

You are an odd young woman, Rachel.

[She smirked back.]

I should introduce you to the rest of my family. We're all kinds of "special".

[He gave a bit of a laugh.]

You know? I don't really doubt that.

We're a hoot.

[She passed a few pieces of paper to him.]

Can you take a look at the schedules and see if they're still right? The last thing I want is to be the only bartender on Saturday night.

A hoot? What are you, from the 1920's?

[James glanced over the list.]

I think a few of these people have left, but I bet with the holidays people will be wanting to pick up extra shifts for some more money.

Stow it, future boy.

We're gonna need to hire aren't we?

[He took another look and nodded.]

Yeah, probably.
