Alec stretched, smiling at a passing butler. "Just come up to the main house. There's a door right across form this front door, leads to the kitchen. We'll all be there." Leaving Sylar, he went to change himself into some nice dark blue pants and a button up light blue top. Coming down, he combed his hair back with his hands. Running out, he went to the kitchen to find Betty and Laline arguing over the ball menus.
"Hello Madame Sinclair. Is there a problem?"
------------------------------
Laline turned. She was in a long red dress that was fitting for a woman her age and stature. Raising up, she puffed her chest at Betty. "I want Bella's favorite's mixed with mine. Baked ham, whipped potatoes, garlic and herb chicken, string bean casserole, strained pea soup and stuffing fit for a king. Not peasants food!" Turning, seh stared at Alec. "Are the horses prepared? They must be prefect!" Laline wanted everything perfect. She was setting a match for Bella. Her daughter would be back in time for the ball-she could not resist being the center of attention. No young lady could.
------------------------------
Bety sighed, rubbing her temples. This was unfair as Bella would not get any of this food until Betty gave her some especially prepared. They had to pretend Bella had eaten alone in her room to prepare. Laline was not letting her anywhere near the dining hall while she dined with the gentlemen. Betty sat up. "Fine. But I better get an extra pastry chef form town for all the desserts you've also requested. I will not cook all this myself. I am a busy woman as it is with regular meals!" Betty stood her ground, something she was unafraid to do. Because she knew that Laline would only get half of what she wants and Bella would finally be free of her.

Sylar washed and shaved, pulled on his new clothes and headed out of the bathroom. The servant quaters was large but eventually he found his room and put his gun in his bag. He felt bad for leaving it but he needed to make a good first impression with Laline so he could properly help with the plan. It wouldnt help at all if Laline had noticed his gun and got some other staff to keep an eye on him on the night of the ball.
He left the servant quaters a few minutes later and headed towards the main house. As he entered the kitchen he saw Betty, Alec and who he assumed to be Laline in a conversation so, not wanting to interupt he waited at the door.

Alec smiled lightly, nodding his head. He always kept a perfect act up around Laline ever since she suspected him dating Bella. “The horses are ready. They are going out for a last groom two days before hand and not let out anywhere near mud or dirt. They are trained to ride up front to greet each guest.” Standing next to Betty, he set a kind hand on her back.
Turning, he ushered Sylar in. “Ah perfect timing Sylar. Madam Sinclair, this is one of our guards for the ball. Sylar.” Hopefully Sylar would pick up to call her ‘madam’ as well.
------------------------------
Laline stepped forward, looking the new boy up and down. Then she spoke to Alec, watching the new comer. “Well, that’s good. I want to be the talk of the town for awhile.” Nodding, she walked around Sylar twice. “I’m sorry for your loss. I hope it won’t interfere?” Laline was not sentimental in any way. She never even told Bella that she loved her. And that was her own granddaughter.
------------------------------
Betty was trying hard not to laugh. It would definitely be the talk of the town for months. Hiding her smile, she tried hard to wipe it off her face.

Sylar entered when Alec ushered him. "Good Evening Madam" He said as the woman looked him up and down and walked around him. He almost Smirked when he remembered that it was much like the cattle market his father took him to as a child, with all the farmers checking the cattle to see how good the meat they provided would be.
"Thank you Madam but It wont affect my work in the slightest I tend to try and keep my private and professional lives seperate" This was a lie he loved taking his work home with him but he thought this would make a better impression on his new employer.

Alec leaned on the counter, whispering to Betty. “I know you aren’t dating. Spill. Was it her?” His voice was low enough so Laline couldn’t hear. He needed to know what was up with everything. They had been packing Bella’s things slightly one by one for weeks now, hiding it in the barn under some hay. All that was left were things plainly left in sight. Her jewelry box, trinkets she had collect such as her wooden box collection and shells. All her clothes that she wanted-her skirts, tops, pajamas, a couple of her favorite dresses and her two pairs of jeans-were already packed. So were all her photos and journals she had kept over the years.
------------------------------
Laline nodded curtly. “Good. Have you ever done security before?” The boy was already impressing her, but she needed to make sure he wouldn’t steal anything. She didn’t need anything taken from under her nose. “All of the rooms are strictly off limits unless you are called into one. During the ball, you will start off with helping check guests. After, you and three others will walk the halls upstairs. All the rooms will be locked out, so no one can get in, but you can still patrol for anyone trying to sneak around.” She was all business and this ball had taken years to plan. Years.
------------------------------
Betty batted at Alec. She didn’t want Laline becoming suspicious. But she could tel him some things. “Yes. But hush up until later.” Turning back, she finished filling the menu out for tomorrow. Steaks, au gratin potatoes, green beans and rice pudding with chocolate mousse for dessert. The woman better be happy.

"Yes Madam, I worked for a private security team for a number of years". Sylar could tell that she had believed his line about keeping work and life separate. " Madam Would it be at all possibe if i were to be given a tour of your fine house so i can better aquaint my self with the property and note possible places where people might hide or be able to sneak around?" He was hoping that she would allow Alec to give him a tour and show him what he needed to do so that the plan went off without a hitch.

Laline nodded with approval. "Good. You are hired." Rubbing the bridge of her nose, she shook her head. Looking up at Betty, she wasn't finished with her. "I am too tired and have things here to finish. You can have Alec or the butlar Jacob to go with you. Doesn't matter." Reaching out, she grabbed tomorrow menu. "Good. SImple. No one will be here tomorrow besides the planners, so this is fine. But all the food better be perfect for the abll." She made to leave, then turend back. "Add some form of fish for the ball!" Then retreated to her room.
------------------------------
"yes ma'am, I will." Watching her leave, Betty hit her head on the counter softly once the woman had left. Listing it up, she began to mock her. "Please add fish for the ball.' Oh! That woman will be the death of me." Turning, she stared at Alec. "Don't ever chance mentioning Bella around her again. Dangerous waters. Yes, that was a wave from her. She's just saying she's coming and bringing a friend." Betty was thinking of the best way to tell him. Then she smiled. "Bella baby got married."
------------------------------
Alec beamed. "I would be happy to. Good night Madam." Turning, he sighed. "We jsut need to do this sugar coating for awhile longer. Just a little bit." THen he nearly choked on his own spit. He couldn't believe it. His heart was married? "What?! Are you kidding me?" He was pissed. Beyond pissed now. Like wanted to strangle this guy he'd never met pissed.

"Thank you Madam" Sylar said. Upon hearing the news that Bella got married he just smiled and muttered to himself "I cant wait to see Laline's face when she sees that...". He turned to Alec who looked truly pissed off and decided to change the subject " So what do i need to do on the night of the ball?"

Betty rolled her eyes. "Alec you let her go so don't go on with this bull. Now I'm off to bed. You do behave." With that Betty huffed out. She wasn't too pleased at all. Alec was the one who had done the leaving, so he needed to cool off. Bella was happy with this boy, so he'd have to learn.
------------------------------
Alec shook his head at Betty. "I only did it cause of that woman." It would be interesting to see Laline's life turned upside down. After all, this was for Bella to come out to society officially. Gesturing his head, he moved out of the kitchen. "She's going to come in through the kitchen. Everyone there is sneaking her in. Then she'll go to the study where she'll wait to be announced. After she smoozes and knows Betty has all her stuff out, she'll leave." They got to the front hall. He gestured his hands around, trying to cool off. "This is where she'll escape and run through that side door to the barn. I'll cut her off here. You'll help Betty bring it all down to the mule she'll have and go with her after coming to me. You'll have all the codes. Your job will also be to help sneak her in without Laline noticing." He paused so he could take it all in. Then he'd show him the study.

"Right Got it" This was alot to take in and alot to remember "So I'll need to sneak her in, help her get everything she needs and then sneak her out again right?" He often found it useful to repeat his instructions out loud to ensure he got them right.

Alec nodded. "Bella will be down here at the ball. You'll just help Betty bring it all down. Everything else it perfect though." Leading him out, he stepped into a hallway. "This leads to the kitchen and straight to the downstairs study. You'll just sneak her through there. Laline's snoppy maid will be by her side, so when Bella comes here, it'll be no biggy."

Alec went to the wall, knocking at panels. Finding the one he wanted, he found the hidden button and hit it. It was the side modeling and you just pressed into it in the center. There was a hidden room behind it with some food and a small bed. “Hide here. If you can’t run here, then you go to the kitchen, yell ‘rushing water’ and go out the door. The staff will hinder the path of anyone chasing you. Then you grab any horse and bolt. Go to wherever this ship is hidden they are coming on and ask for a ride to the next planet.” hopefully they’d give him a ride. Alec was dragging him into this mess, he could at least get the boy out. He’d talk to Betty about all of this.

"Right, Great, Rushing Water, Got it." Sylar said. This was gonna be a hell of a job to pull off but it seemed entirely doable. "Is it gonna be ok if i have my gun with me at the ball? I dont intend to shoot anybody but its kind of a good luck charm and im hardly gonna be able to come back and get it if i leave in a rush."
[OOC: Sorry it took me so long to post it has taken me ages to read through all the stuff from when i was away and then it took me a little longer to realise i actually needed to post]
