45. Double checking

by Lady Leticia Scarlet-Bloesembhel Voetdhel-Montaneus

(Scene and the journal entry at the bottom)

Scarlet gave the employee list one last look over. After she had memorized the details she put it away, it would be dropped off later today at the bank. She had already sent a copy by a trusted currier and made another copy to give to her Mentor. A separate copy was sent to the local branch of the Barasios temple, etc. The contracts for her employees were also established and those copies sent off as well. Not that she would see or speak to them, they were placed directly under her mentor and one of her maternal aunts.

Scarlet looked over all the details again. Each 'group' had been hired by a different shell. Each 'branch' working in tandem with each other and their 'bosses' were Scarlet's trusted family members... the only two that knew she was alive. The contracts were fair, the best way to retain loyalty is to pay people what they are worth. There was a clear outline that explained raises and such. Bonuses were added along with a budget set aside for their equipment. Their living expenses had already been arranged according to her Mentor. There was also a clear outline denoting punishments. Her mentor had informed her that there would most likely be a turncoat.,, But she had taken her time vetting them according to the instructions laid out. Scarlet lamented that she didn't have a lot of experience managing a house, and even though she would not be directly responsible for them knowing that they might work with her uncles made her anxious.

But checks were put into place as everyone was brought into the fold. Due to the way everything was setup, only three were given access to the whole picture, and those 3 family members had an amulet of mind shielding. The amulet Scarlet once wore as a child was given to one of her aunts along with the ring of nondetection. While re-reading the document she sighed and mumbled, "I need to buy a new one... I guess I could slip into another realm to keep the scrying from happening... But..." She looked down at Brutus, "I think anyone who knew about me thinks I'm super dead." He rolled over, showing her his belly. Scarlet smiled as she continued to review.

Everyone ese was told the current plans entailed removing her sibling from the head position and demanding a fair election process. There would be no way that her Uncles would be able to continue to hide the child and their credentials would be put into question. The reason why it took so long to even push this election was due to their machinations and ties to government officials. Scarlet wasn't too sure what had happened but she had made efforts to receive news from the area. Per the news, the old officials were pushed out one way or another, and there were many court cases due to all the mishandling her Uncles were responsible for were tying their hands. Now that she had raised the funds they were able to buy back what was lost. And there was so much that was lost... But with Scarlet's help, she found the loopholes they had previously exploited and different court proceedings and their findings. All of this, along with a written dissertation breaking down each subject was handed over to her Aunts. Scarlet was so glad that she listened to Lin. Her jobs have helped her immensely, giving her the needed exposure and experience to help from afar.

Sighing she put the last of the papers away and went to pet Brutus. Afterwards she made her way to the journal and wrote:

Finished most recent batch. Second ream will be delivered tomorrow. Portraits of the members along with their finger prints have been acquired, multiple copies were made or taken at the time of hiring. Most of the paperwork will be shipped out with S. I am to stay and continue on next steps. Citizenship has been acquired. I will probably need to establish a house to deal with the employees and to house the documents and goods.
