"Would you like her brought to the castle?" Maria asked me. I had images of Rita going about her day; when suddenly, a group of Ultimados step out of the shadows and drag her here. That didn't feel like a step Maria would take, but I could see that things were getting to her; and the right people in the government knew that Maria was secretly Contessa-In-Reggenza again until sometime Monday or Tuesday, so she could very well make it happen if she was that desperate.
"I'll go get her." I volunteered. "What time does it happen?"
"Seven o'clock." Maria answered. "I told Lucinda that the babies' bedtime was at eight, so that we could get them out of there early."
My phone said it was 11:08. The hangover was almost gone now, so I was inclined to believe it.
"Ok, figure they'll start showing up around six to load up on drinks, gives me a little less than seven hours to make Rita into a Contessa." I got up and started walking out before stopping and turning. "I don't expect it'll take that long, she carries the wig and makeup with her."
Maria ran up and hugged me.
"Grazie, Susan!" She said with a kiss on both cheeks. "I know that this is a big and strange thing to ask. But you can help in a way that nobody else can right now."
"Maria, if there's two things I know, it's helping people and strangeness." I thought a second. "If there's four things, it's helping people, strangeness, Star Trek, and waitressing. Start doing whatever setting up a reception involves, I'll be back quick."
