You un-edit both of them, then add some subtle mind-control while stealing their powers.
Got Pickpocket, Entrepreneurship, and Accounting!
A woman in a navy business suit, skirt, and black tie sits up. The's tall with olive skin and black hair. She doesn't look very old. She sits up and looks around.
The other is a teenage girl in a black sneaking suit and a red mask. "Hi-hi, onii-chan!" she greets you.
La Rena looks around. "So does this mean I get time off...?"
You'll need to either send two back to your base, or leave two here.

Oh no, a character limit!
"What th- it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, Awkward. Let it go. Just... go to my base." Send the two I just edited to the base, and let's keep Tab and La Rena with me for now. Now let's go back to the main lobby. While we're in the elevator, let's just create a shield and hold it in front as the elevator door opens... I really didn't handle the secretaries well, and I'm terrified of what I'll encounter.

You all crowd into the elevator. La Rena sits in the back again, unhappy. The actual CEO crosses her arm and rides down silently. The transformed maid hums obnoxiously to herself the entire time.
When the doors open, you find the tutu lady slouched over the main desk. When you get closer, you see her entire lower half is... gone. Burns cover the edges of what's left, and several puncture wounds dot her upper torso.
The other secretary is absentmindedly filing her nails. She has a few slash wounds, but not enough to be serious.
The CEO and ex-maid walk past and towards the portal home...

I'm not messing with her... Let's take the elevator to Alice's room.

You take the elevator up to Alice's room. It opens into an exquisite, modern apartment. A huge window offers a view of half of Vitcity.
A young woman is sitting on a couch. She looks a lot like the middle-aged woman you just... erm... employed.
Another young man is in the kitchen, rummaging around through the refrigerator. You know this guy's cool because he's wearing sunglasses indoors.
(Also I think there's supposed to be another inactive portal in here but I don't have my notes...)

Let's walk up to the woman. "Excuse me. Do you have a keycard for the board room? Everyone's out right now for some reason."

"Ah, well... this is weird. See, we're actually hairstylists." Create some hair shears in my hand again. "I'm supposed to give some corporate bigwigs last-minute cuts to make them look great, but I can't seem to find them. Say!" Start to pull on that Entrepreneurship I gained. "If you're not busy, you mind letting me practice on your hair? It'll be a free cut, and I'm quite good at my work. Hell, I'll even throw this in for free." Pull out the Golden Lucky Cat Statue. "Supposed to be worth some cash. If you're in, just stay where you're at. That couch'll be fine. Oh, and we want to practice on your friend's hair too. The one raiding the kitchen."

(Oh... Nope, no portal up here.)
"I'm quite satisfied with my hair," the girl insists.
"...I wouldn't mind a trim," the guy says.
"Tom! We don't have time for this. We need to figure out what to do about this... whatever this is! Our first priority needs to be finding Mattea... And then... Hm."

"Damn." Awkward puts away the cat statue and the shears. "Well, I guess we'll have to ki-"
"Wait." Tab steps forward. "W-We could help you find this... Mattea."

The girl pulls out her phone. "If you see her, send her this way." She shows you a picture. "She's the student body president of Newvit High School. She's a bit of a pain to deal with, but I'm going to need her help. We need to find all the other students and gather them..."
"So... No haircut, then?" Tom asks.
"No haircut," she says. "Come on. We've got work to do. We need to start producing some spare soul keys..."

Tab nods. "...I see. Let's leave, then."
Head back to main lobby.

You head back to the main lobby.
You find that red-skinned devil dude with the suit patching up the secretary. A sheet is tossed over the other one's corpse.
"Jeez... What happened here, anyway?" the suit-actual-demon asks.
"Monster attack," the suit-metaphorical-demon lies. She gives you a glance as if daring you to contradict her.
A guy with a blue cat-tail and ears wanders in. "So many monsters in here... What a pain. Maybe I shoulda stuck with that creepy guy after all."

Walk over to the others. "Hey, what exactly is going on in this place anyways? What's with the monster infestation?"

The guy in the suit produces a cigarette. "Ugh, I dunno. What do I look like, a mage or somethin'?" He snaps and a flame appears on his fingertip. "I'm not even a security guard, I'm an investigator..."
"Even us mages don't know what's happening," the murder-secretary says.
"Monsters just kind of... show up out of nowhere. You should probably ask the boss or her daughter." The not-security-guard nods towards the elevators. "Monsters don't seem to show up in too many different places, fortunately. It's like they... I dunno. I guess they have their own special portals like that one in the security office."
The cat-guy stretches. "I'm just gonna rest here for a while, if that's alright with you guys. It's nice to be out of a cage, but I'm still pretty stiff."
