Box of toys (one shot)

[Zodiac]

If a telepath was tuned to her thoughts, they would have heard Zodiac laughing like a child as she slipped out of the large corporate building that towered over the area near Alpha. Clutched under her arm was a bit of a surprise for her when she broke into the office of one of the big shots of the place. It was simply a cardboard box taped shut with one word on its side.

Toys.

In her childhood, toys were a premium item to be sure, so she could not resist snatching the box. Some things to amuse her more fun loving friends perhaps. Aura had that kind of sense of humor and so did Tempy, so she fled the place when she discovered this odd find locked away like a secret and ran as fast as she could back to her shop.

She let herself in, relocked the door and ran upstairs to her room. On the bed, Ginny looked up as if wondering what had gotten the girl in such a rush. 'We got a box!' she thought to herself and she dropped it on her bed and sat down. She reached into her blouse and pulled a small strait razor free and sliced through the securing tape to see what was inside. She heard things rattling as she ran and there was some weight to the box to be sure.

But when she opened it, she blinked in surprise. The banded package of DVD's were the first thing she pulled out. They weren't store bought, but made and each just had a note taped inside the box with dates on it. She laid that aside and reached in again. Something with straps on it came out of the box and she turned it around and was face to face with an artificial phallus. Zodiac tossed the thing on the floor in disgust, only to have it begin to purr like a cat as the vibrations made it creep slowly along the carpet. 'NO WAY!' her mind shouted. The more she dug, the more her confusion and disgust began to grow. These weren't children's toys at all, but toys after a fashion regardless. Cuffs, clamps, straps, several small power packs with leads, a pizza cutter that did not look it would do a very good job on pizza at all. 'So this is why the fat cats can't return unearned corporate bonuses?' she wondered. She found an odd pair of tight latex shorts as well but when she looked inside of them, she jumped off the bed and screamed silently.

She calmed herself and grabbed the bundle of DVD's and sat down in front of her television and dropped one in. A simple menu appeared with labels that matched the lists. She selected one at random and watched as the scene began to play. 'I know them! I seen them two around the building before.' she gaped as the two normally stuck up professional women she had spied going in and out of the building before late at night were now in different roles. Most times if they saw her, they looked at Zodiac like she was street trash, but now it was the gypsy's turn to regard them as less then human. She could recognize the items in the box easily and was sure the other things were just inside of it still. 'I wonder how many millions they got for doing this?' she thought as she found herself in her first 'train wreck' experience. Despite the fact her eyes were now as big as saucers and her mind was screaming turn it off, she could not look away from the images on the screen. She had heard of stuff like this, of course, and had seen a porn or two in her life, but to see actual people she could point to on the street and say that was them was another thing all together.

A wicked smile began to expand on the girl's face. Part of her upbringing in a modern day gypsy community as she had lived in taught her many things, and blackmail was nothing to ignore if the possibility presented itself so easily. She would find out who exactly these two would-be porn stars were and begin to send them some clues. Slices of the movies reburned and details saying how much it would take to avoid these slipping onto You Tube or the like along with details of who they actually were. Or what their superiors would think of such actions in the public life. Oh, it was evil thoughts she was having, and the girl knew somewhere her ancestors would be very proud of her right now.

'Seems I found a new toy anyways,' she laughed in silence. She looked at the rest of the items and began to toss them back into the box without care. The catsuit had caught her attention briefly to be honest. She wondered at how little to the imagination wearing such a thing would look like, but unsure who she would ever wear something like that for. The entire box was then tossed into her own closet for now for future reference (minus the suit-she was still curious on that bit). Zodiac ejected the DVD and opened her laptop and looked on line for the best ways to burn her own movies to disc.

'Opportunity, opportunity, is knocking at your door,' she sang in her mind, remembering a very old song her grandfather used to sing. 'Opportunity knocks just once, and don't come back no more…' She could not wait to find out what she would discover in the other offices around this town.

ooc note: the last line was indeed a song from back in the 40's by the title of 'Snatch and Grab It' but the original singer's name escapes me atm.
