130 Conference (2/2)
Agni seemed to contemplate over the questions a little too long before she let out a sigh. ”I think I will keep going by Agni. I might actually legally change it to Agni as Falicia is so foreign to me. Don't get me wrong I now know that it's my birth name but the two people who have named me are gone and now only my brother is alive. It just doesn't seem right. Falicia died along side with everyone else that day so I don't want to pull her name back just because of this. As for meeting my brother... I want to... I want to with all my heart. I want him to meet the new me, meet his nieces and the little addition on its way but I haven't been able to get a hold of him.”
Agni looked directly into the camera, she brought her hands up in a plea and her lips trembled. Big brother, if your watching please rush down and see me. I'm sorry I couldn't save mom and dad so don't hate me for living, please, please, please come down here and be the wonderful big brother I know you are. I want, I need your strength to get through this.”
Some people in the crowd started to sniff as Agni spoke but Carmen rolled her eyes. She couldn't wait to get her turn. ”You ready primo?” She whispered into his ear. Gerson looked confused and was ready to ask what she meant when the red head looked back down at her list. ”Carmen Marroquin from Que Ondas pod cast.” Carmen grabbed Gerson by the arm and started dragging him up to the front. ”This is it primo, don't f*ck up!”
The moment they broke through the crowd Carmen felt that a light was shining down from up above. She felt light and free and couldn't stop smiling. She turned she gaze towards Agni and flicked back her hair as she took her fighting pose. ”Ms. Falicia Coblepot, can it not be said that you are a fraud?”Agni was completely caught off guard by the question and her mask cracked as she looked at the reporter with disdain. ”Excuse me?” Carmen brought up her hand and quickly apologized.
”Sorry I should clarify... Because the name on the marriage certificate, in your most recent marriage with one, Avery Steel was not registered using your real name then technically you are not married under the Marriage Act. This would be enough for any judge to order an annulment of the marriage....So all of the benefits which are afforded to married couples should be frozen immediately and transferred to his biological daughter Olivia Steel. Unless... you were named as a beneficiary under his will or other documentation then you will need to produce said documents.”
Agni and the red head turned ghostly white as they turned to one another then back to Carmen. ”I'm sorry... your question was?” Agni tried to say as politely as possible but the strain in her voice was too hard to miss. Carmen made an ”Oh!” Sound and knocked her head with her first. ”Duh! Sorry I really need to be clearer! Yes my question... As a fraud, how are you going to support yourself now that you are cut off?”
Agni's mouth started to open and close like a fish and the red head scrambled to read the next name on the list. She brought up the microphone and rushed to read the next name but instantly regretted her hast. ”Carmen Marroquin from Que Ondas pod cast!” Carmen smiled as she brought the microphone back up to her lips.
”Ms. Falicia Coblepot, there are rumour and this nasty little photo on the screen showing your intimate relationship with one Chief Wilhelm, how long have you been in this kind of relationship and is this the reason why you were able to get away with almost murdering Olivia Steel, murdering countless people at the debutante and even orchestrating the murder of Avery Steel and attempted murder of your own daughter Loreley!”
Agni shot her gaze upwards and tried to look at the big screen. Countless photographers started to snap shots of the photos being showed. One was of Agni strapped on top of Chief Wilhelm, another was her kissing the Chief, another was transcribed phone calls between her and an unknown Carl regarding a hit, another was her buying the abandoned factory under the name Falicia and having people set up the death traps and the last was an unknown man dressed in a black suit, wearing shades visiting her in an asylum.
Agni almost fainted on the spot but held it together as her assistant dropped to her knees. ”Last two questions Ms. Falicia.” Agni turned to look at Carmen, she bared her teeth as she broke out into a sweat. ”What do you want now you sorry excuse for a toilet scrubbing b*tch!” She spat between her gritted teeth. ”Ouch senora fine I'll cut to the chase then. Medical records show that you are infertile and Avery Steel actually placed you in the asylum because you were so disillusioned about the baby you proclaimed you were carrying. In a few months time would you have presented Ms. Olivia Steel's babies as your own, you sick f*ck?”
Agni lost her cool and lunged at Carmen with her nails baring. The red head scrambled to try and stop her mistress but she was too late. Carmen and Agni were exchanging blows on the ground floor. ”You b*tch! You taco sucking parasite how dare you ruin this conference!” Carmen spat blood on to the floor as she signalled Agni to come as her. ”Nice, I've heard better insults from a 85 year old blind woman who teaches cooking classes down at the Rec centre every other Tuesday.”
”I'll kill you!” Agni shouted as she jumped back on Carmen and tried to claw her eyes out. ”You can become that c*nts assistant if you let me help you remove your eyes.” Carmen's eyes flashed with anger and she upper cut Agni and sent her flying. ”Don't you dare speak about senorita Marisol that way! She may have shot at her husband and lover when she caught them in bed together but the lived and she did her time! That women is a saint compared to you!”
Security came running on to the scene and stopped the fight. Gerson couldn't stop smiling as he closed in on Agni's disheveled appearance.Her face was bright red and splotchy, her hair was all over the place, blood was dripping out of her mouth and her eyes blazed with murder. He turned the camera to Carmen and she looked absolutely lovely. Her hair was tousled in a sexy way, her cheeks had a healthy pink glow, there was a fine layer of sweat covering her body as her champagne coloured blouse was torn so low that her cleavage was revealing.
”This is Carmen Marroquin wanting to say hey Falicia que ondas!” Carmen said proudly as she nodded her head and looked down on Agni. She looked back at the camera and winked. Gerson turned off the feed and his phone would stop vibrating. ”Carmen! Look at all these messages! Everyone wants a piece of you and the dirt you have on this p*ta.”
Carmen waved her hand indifference. ”First thing is first primo, buy me a drink and break up with that culebra or do you want that to be your end game?” She said as she pointed back. Gerson looked back and saw that Agni turned rabid, he saw someone come up and inject her neck with what he assumed was a tranquilizer. ”Nope! I'll buy you two drinks and a pizza if you help me move out right now since she's playing bingo at the hall. Once me stuff is outta there I'll let you listen in as I dump her a**” He said as he wrapped his arm around Carmen's shoulders. She gave him a nod.”B*tch got nothing on me.” she said as they both walked out of the hall with their heads held high.
