The year is 2977 and it's the time of science and magic. We come upon Nicholas Moon

who was sleeping with his feet placed on his desk and a dirty magazine on his face. There was a

Rasp of knocking on the door with a call from it. Hello? Said Elizabeth. Nicholas sprung up

confused and startled by the abrupt interruption of his dreams. How's there?! Called Nicholas

while he started to tidy up his dirty office. It's Elizabeth Mikan I'm here for my interview at 9am,

said Elizabeth.

Nicholas surprised by this and said your interview wasn't till April 23, he replied.

Elizabeth was surprised that the person who scheduled he interview didn't realize that it

was April 23. Elizabeth replied, Sir? Today is clearly April 23rd of the 2977 year, and I'm sorry for

the inconvenience , but I will ask you do you want to reschedule my interview? Nicholas

franticly looking for his calendar as he lunged for it he realized it was the 23rd of April. Of course

sorry didn't realize today was the 23rd. Give me just a minute please while I get your file and

finish tidying up a bit, said Nicholas.

Nicholas took longer than expected to open the door. He swung it open with such

oomph and slipping on cleaning towel and face planting while he left the young lady staring at

him slightly laughing at pure clumsiness. Hello and welcome to Moon Agency Miss Mikan, said

Nicholas as he was holding his nose while it was slowly bleeding.

Elizabeth replied, while slightly laughing thank you Mr.Moon for having me today and

sorry that you didn't realize today was the 23rd. Nicholas replied instantly, NO I'm sorry for not realizing it. I have been busy lately with some minor cases that don't concern you at this very

moment. Now come on in and sit right in front of my desk please. As Elizabeth stepped into the

room she realized it was still dirty and didn't smell the cleanest. Nicholas noticed the face she

was making was one of disgust and laughed softly . He said, Sorry about the mess and the smell

its been awhile since I've been able to clean properly.

Elizabeth replied holding her breath slightly, It's ok sir. I've smelled worse while I've been

living in the police barracks. The barracks were way worse. She strolled over to the chair in front

of the desk, and sat down. Nicholas smiled while he started back over to his desk and opened a

window to let a gentle breeze into the room. As he sat down he realize the seriousness on

Elizabeths face and the window didn't clear up the smell as much as he hoped.

So Miss Mikan you have applied for the assistant position, but yet you have graduated

from the police academy, and even have a degree in criminal justice while having a permit for a

Civilian Military Matrix or CMM for short, said Nicholas.

Elizabeth replied fiercely, The DCPD didn't want to hire me because of my race and it

would have been frowned upon to have a Vampire as a police officer in the DCPD. I would hope

you don't hold my race against me.

Nicholas replied smiling, I do not hold ones Species, sex or ethnicity against them while

I'm hiring. I focus on there capabilities and there drive to follow there dreams.

Elizabeth surely surprised at his response and started to softly cry.

Nicolas stunned by her reaction to his words searched for a tissue that wasn't crumbled

up in the nearest trash can. He found a handkerchief in his top drawer, and handed it across the

desk to her. Elizabeth said while sniffling, Sorry for crying its just I've been searching for a job for

awhile. I've been searching for a job as a police officer or something similar. And sir is there any

specific questions you would like to ask me since you have my file.

Nicholas replied softly, Of course I have one or two concerning your days at the

academy, and a personal question. First question, Your time at the academy you were involved

with a hazing accident concerning a fellow recruit, and an instructor. Explain to me what

happened.

Elizabeths face was red but replied reluctantly, The instructor was sexually harassing a

fellow recruit, and I stood up for him. The instructor decided to report me and attempt to kick

me out of the academy, But it backfired upon him. Many of the other recruits vouched for

myself and the recruit that was sexually harassed. Elizabeth was struggling getting the story out

due to the frustration she had with the incident that happened.

Nicholas replied apologetically, I'm so sorry you and that other recruit had to go through

that. Now to the second question. At the academy you graduated top of your class out of 150

other recruits. You did not give an acceptance speech which was required yet you weren't even

at your graduation. Can u give me an acceptable answer to the reason u were absent?

Elizabeth smiled and replied, I wasn't there due to a mix up with my uniform. I sent it to

the tailor to get altered ,because the office thought I was a different species. They made it for a

Minotaur and it was greatly to big. The speech is a different story I had one written out, but

since I didn't have a uniform the chief of the academy decided to let me out of the requirement

due to my inconvenience. Nicholas laughing, Wow I can't believe the department messed up a uniform cause of a

species mix up. OK now for the final question. Can you control your bloodlust and instincts to

hold down the role of my assistant. There will be many cases that will involve blood and

disturbing scenes. Even difficult scenes for seasoned officers of the law.

Elizabeth stood up fiercely and replied, Sir! I do not have a problem with my instincts

and haven't acted on my bloodlust in over 300 years, and I don't intend to any time soon.

Elizabeth realizing she just reacted unprofessionally got quiet really fast and apologized

profusely. Im so sorry for my out burst. I knew that was gonna be the question u asked. I should

have been ready for it, said Elizabeth

Nicholas startled by her reaction replied, its ok I understand it's a sensitive subject to

some species to ask about instincts and personal afflictions such as a vampires bloodlust. By the

way you passed the interview. Your hired! You can start tomorrow if you wish or you can start

Monday.

Elizabeth was stunned by his decision to hire her. She stood abruptly reached over and

shook Nicholas's hand, and said THANK YOU! With tears in her eyes she was elated with joy.

Nicholas stood up and showed her to the door. While thinking to himself, This is gonna be

interesting having a Vampire princess as an assistant. Elizabeth walked out the door quickly and

realized she was starting a new job the next day and need to get some well needed sleep. So

she took off and went shopping . Nicholas was concerned how happy she was and did she

realize her file was labeled Extremely Dangerous and only given to him by the DCPD because

she was staying at the barracks for 10 years. He said to himself, I understand time is different for Vampires, immortals, and other long lived species. But she should have realized she was there

way to long.

The next morning came along faster than expected for Nicholas and Elizabeth. Nicholas

fell asleep at the office again after reading all of Miss Mikan file and finding a few interesting

facts about her, and her time at the academy. Elizabeth showed up at the office at 8:50am

excited to start her new job, but when she walked into the office the stench hit her square in

the face. Elizabeth gagged as she walked in and seeing her boss passed out on his desk she

decided to tidy up while he slept. Nicholas ended up falling out of his chair about 11am. When

he came to his senses he realized the office smelled of lemons and it was brighter than usual.

As he looked around he noticed Elizabeth sitting down in the only other chair in the

office which she sat in the day before.

Nicholas said sleepily, You cleaned the office?! Why?

Elizabeth replied hesitantly, Because it was a disgusting in here and it smelled like sour

milk and raw sewage. Plus I tidied up the closet here, and organized the files in the two standing

filing cabinets behind your desk. I also cleaned the windows, mopped the floors, and hung up

the coats too.

Nicholas was in awe cause he didn't expect her to be so professional on her first day on

the job. He wondered if she cleaned the adjoining room or did she not notice it was there.

Nicholas stood up and walked to the adjoining room door and looked at her, and said did

you clean in there as well?

Her reply was, No I did not due to it being locked and I didn't want to open a locked door

in my bosses office without permission. And she went back to looking at he old magazine. Nicholas had laying on his desk. Nicholas smiled and said to himself at least she has some

respect for someone's privacy. He swung the door open with a swish and invited her in. The

room was furnished with a pull out couch, sink, refrigerator and many other bare necessities.

Elizabeth was amazed there was whole another room in such a small office. Elizabeth stared at

how homey it looked. She turned to look at Nicholas and noticed he had the biggest smile on

her face.

Why do u have a whole apartment tucked away in a closet in your office? And why is it

so clean when your office looked like a pig sty, said Elizabeth.

Well you see I purchased this office space/ living quarters and realized I'm different at

home than work. So working leads to long nights and long days so I tend to forget about

cleaning at work, but when I'm home I don't want to live in filth, said Nicholas.

Elizabeth was completely flabbergasted by what her employer was saying, but

understood exactly what he was saying. Working long hours can cause people to forget to clean

and even eat.

Sir? Can I ask you a question if u don't mind, asked Elizabeth.

Nicholas replied, Yes you can Miss Milan.

OK. How is it that you purchased a whole office and living quarters in a building that has

apartments?

Well you see the original owners of this building where renting out apartments and had

this apartment. I offered to buy the apartment this room was originally a walk in closet if I am to

be truthful. Then I asked him if I can knock down part of the wall to put a door in for my office.

That's how I got an office and a apartment. Elizabeth started laughing at this. She thought it was hilarious that there office was

actually a walk in closet at one point in time. Elizabeth replied, wow I can't believe this was a

walk in closet. How big is the main apartment?

Nicholas said proudly, 1200 square feet. Its 2 bedroom, full bathroom, with

entertainment space.

A loud banging on the office door interrupted Nicholas's details about the room.

Elizabeth rushed over to the dood and opened it wide to a tall pale man. The man was tall, pale,

and looked like a good stiff wind could blow him over.

Elizabeth asked, Welcome to Blue Moon Agency how can we help you today.

With out an answer or even a glance at Elizabeth the man stepped past her and headed

straight for Nicholas. As he stepped closer to Nicholas his breathing started to get heavier then

right before the got to Nicholas he collapsed. Nicholas turned to look at him and said, How can I

help you to day Zander?

Elizabeth stunned that the main didn't say a word and yet Nicholas wasn't fazed at all by

the intrusion, and when Nicholas spoke to him while he was curled up on the flood she

understood completely. This Zander guy was an acquaintance or even possibly a friend of he

Boss.

Zander spoke up and said, All I need is an extension. And before he could say anything

else Nicholas said, one week is all I can afford to allow you. So please show yourself out, and

apologize to my new assistant. You will see a lot more of her.

Elizabeth was wondering what Mr.Moon was talking about and decided to push the

thought out of her mind. After the whole commotion, and wondering what was going on she didn't realize it was already Noon. She walked over to her bag and pulled out a pouch of blood

and asked, Do you mind if I take my lunch break?

Nicholas replied, sure go ahead mind if I join you?

Elizabeth was a bit hesitant to reply but she did, Sure. But are you sure? Some people

think it's disgusting when I just eat a pouch of blood for lunch, when some other vampires

choose to actually eat human food.

Nicholas replied with his mouth full of a pastrami sandwich, oomh rumff oomhhhh.

Elizabeth looking at him confused and laughing a bit, HUH?

Nicholas replied after swallowing, Sorry. I said I don't mind as long as u don't flick the

blood straw out at me.

Right as Nicholas went to take another bite out of his sandwich the phone rang, Hello?

Blue Moon Agency how can I help you sir or ma'am?, Answered Elizabeth

Ummm can I speak to Nicholas Moon? This is urgent businesses for his ears only.

May I ask whose calling in regards to this information, asked Elizabeth politely.

It's police Chief Clyde SnapJaw now put him on the phone.

Elizabeth turned towards Nicholas and said, It's the Police Chief Mr. SnapJaw.

Nicholas jumped up fast and snagged the phone out of Elizabeths hand quickly.

Sorry about that Clyde she's my new assistant so I thought it would be appropriate if she

answered the phone, If I knew it was you I would have picked it up myself. How can I help you

today? Is it a job?

You could hear Clyde clear as day when he was speaking on the phone with Nicholas.

Clyde is the police Chief of DCPD he's been the Chief for 15years, but is a seasoned veteran of the force for 40year. He's a portly Lizardman with a sour disposition and a attitude that could

curdle milk. As he spoke with Nicholas on the phone all kinds of emotions flashed over

Nicholas's face. Some looked happy, confused, and then the final look was what people would

say as disheartened.

Nicholas eventually hung up the phone and turned to look at Miss Mikan. We got a job,

he said. Then he bent down to grab is brief case and started walking towards the door.

Wait?! What shall I do? And what should I bring?, said Elizabeth.

Is your Matrix outfitted for an investigation? If not we need to rectify that and get it

outfitted immediately.

No it isn't all I have is my fire arm and ammo in it. What else do I need? Replied

Elizabeth?

Your gonna need a crime scene kit, gloves, mask, and a camera, said Nicholas

He reached into one of the drawers in the closet, and handed her a medium bag that

had everything inside it with the exception of the camera. You will have to purchase a camera to

put with that bag of stuff, you will be responsible for replenishing the gear you use after each

job.

Elizabeth realized something was wrong the instant the call ended. It's like he was a

completely different person. It's like job mode was instantly his default mode when it came to a

job. He went from being fun and outgoing to quiet and calculating. Frankly it scared Elizabeth a

bit. Just to see the cold look in his eyes and the seriousness of his speech sent a cold shiver up her spine.
