Chereads / Madame Carolyn / Chapter 3 - Segment III | Welcome Back

Chapter 3 - Segment III | Welcome Back

Carolyn walks up to her office, opening the door. She sees her room cleaned up and untouched. She looks around and walks in her office, walking towards her desk. Brian walks past Carolyn's office. He stops as his eyes widen walking back to the door to Carolyn's office. He gasps.

"Oh my god! CAROLYN!" Brian exclaims running up to her. Carolyn turns around paranoid. Brian hugs Carolyn tightly. "I'm so glad that you're not dead!"

"I'm alive, Brian. I wasn't dead for too long." Carolyn said jokingly.

"I'm so glad!" Brian said, softly smiling breaking up the hug. "Oooh! I got to tell the other council members!"

"Wait, wait. Brian!"

Brian quickly walks out the door and sees the council members entering their offices. "Olivia, Victoria, Cedric, Stavros! Carolyn came back!"

Olivia, Stavros, Victoria, and Cedric look at Brian in Carolyn's office. Their eyes widened when the group saw Carolyn.

"She's not dead?!" Victoria exclaims.

"I guess not?!" Olivia said, "But how? That fight looked brutal!"

"Somebody must have revived her." Stavros said.

The group ran towards Carolyn. Carolyn screeches as the group starts to hug her.

"Welcome back, Mayor!" The group cheered. Carolyn stands there; eyes widened in silence.

"They never did that before…" Carolyn thought.

"We missed you!" Victoria exclaimed.

"You guys… did?"

"We all did. We hoped that you defeated Michele for good."

Carolyn stays silent.

"I…"

Brian cuts her off. "Now that Las Vegas is safe, we can continue working on our projects. Hopefully it can improve the community."

"She's—"

"I can probably start fixing up the streets in my ward," Cedric said.

Carolyn clears her throat loudly. The group stops talking and looks at Carolyn.

"She's not gone and Las Vegas is still not safe," Carolyn said bluntly.

"What do you mean? We thought you were going to kill Michele with the heroes." Olivia said.

"That doesn't work that way when you have a woman of a body count that is larger than all of us in this room, has no weaknesses, unlimited power structure, AND almost all demon forms combined into one."

"But we expected you to kill her so we can–" Stavros said. Carolyn looks at Stavros.

"Can, what? What do you guys want to do?" Carolyn spoke up. Stavros went silent.

"Stavros! Answer me!"

The group stares at Stavros. He breathes.

"We wanted to start planning and building the things we want in our ward."

"So… You do realize that the mafia is still going around trying to destroy anything and take over Las Vegas and potentially the STATE OF NEVADA!"

"What does it matter? It's been YEARS since Michele had her mafia take over Las Vegas. It's been taken over, and may I add you were a part of it too? Don't act like you weren't a part of her shit too."

Carolyn snaps.

"What the fuck do you mean 'What does it matters'?"

The group looks at Carolyn, shocked.

"Don't act like I haven't cussed at you guys before!" She yelled. "Is this what you guys care about? You care about your projects starting IN A UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT?! I get it, 'she took it over already, get over it.' Let me explain something to you. She might've taken over Las Vegas but NOT everywhere. She has an empire of people trying to take over the whole of Southern Nevada. You just don't know because you've never gone out of your WARD to look at NONE of the shit that is going on!"

The group stays silent.

"And as for you, Stavros. Yes, I was a part of her mafia. I WAS. I WAS FORCED! I had no choice but to get out of her mafia. If we did, The members could've been killed. I've been harassed, abused, and mistreated by her because I didn't want to do what she wanted me to do. And that was killing and torturing every single citizen in the valley for almost 5 FUCKING years. Being an Underdonna for Michele is hard, and her being in prison and taken over as Donna made it worse. You guys pretty much forgot how I became impulsive more often because of her. You probably forgot that my assistant died by her. Michele's mafia is doing everything in her power to take over Nevada just to assassinate the governor to take over in power. Do you know what happens if she takes over in power?"

"What happens, if I may ask?" Victoria spoke up.

"We will be in danger. Once she has all seven sins of demons, it's over. She'll become the most powerful goddess in Nevada. If anyone tries to stop her, we can get killed. She wants everyone to fear her and won't give two shits about it. She likes to see everyone suffer."

The group stood there in shock.

"Now, if anyone wants to go and continue your project in this unsafe valley can get the fuck out my office and be honest."

Stavros leaves. Olivia, Victoria, Brian, and Cedric look at him leaving. He stops and turns around, looking towards the front door.

"It's your fault, Carolyn. Michele was right, you should be in jail with her." Stavros said. Flipping Carolyn off as he leaves the door. Carolyn stands there. She breathes, closing her eyes. She breathes out.

"Move out of the way. I don't want to strike any of you guys."

Olivia, Victoria, Cedric, and Brian moved out of the way. Carolyn opens her eyes. Her eyes turned red. Red lightning sparks surround Carolyn, shooting toward Stavros. Shocking him.

He groans in pain. Carolyn walks up to him. He steps his foot on his chest.

"Want to say that again?" Carolyn said, shocking Stavros more. He screams in pain.

"I said... What I said."

Carolyn stomps her foot on his chest, shocking Stavros again in anger.

"You have two options. Leave or get electrocuted. WHICH ONE?"

Stavros groans, "I'm… l-leaving."

He slowly raises up his arm, snapping his fingers as he disappears into the air. Carolyn's eyes turn back to normal. She turns and looks at the council members watching her.

"Anyone else?"

The group nods no, "No, Mayor."

"Good," Carolyn said, walking away towards the elevators. "I'm going to take a walk. A long one. Brian. Keep an eye on the city until I come back."

"I will, Mayor Goodman."

The elevator door opens. Carolyn walks into the elevator. Brian walks over to Carolyn's desk., sitting in her chair.

"Do you think Stavros is in Michele's mafia and we don't know it?" Victoria asks.

"We're not supposed to know but it's a possibility." Brian said.

"What should we do at this point because Carolyn is right. Las Vegas isn't safe from Michele's mafia. Michele has a plan to destroy Nevada. Las Vegas and Henderson have been destroyed and taken over since 2017. We're lucky that Carolyn and Lady Moonlight are still keeping the city controlled from them but the time will come that Michele and her mafia will be taking over both cities and the whole Southern Nevada area." Olivia said, "If Michele kills Sisolak, she might take over Northern Nevada. She already got Tonopah after the shooting happened at the hotel two years ago."

Brian thinks for a minute. "I should say that we should wait until Carolyn gives up the proper instructions to do anything."

"Fair." Olivia said.
