Perturbation

The next day was bright and sunny. After Dr. James saw Maria interacting with Alberto, he went home and searched through his things and found a map to where he would meet his true superiors. He called and told them he wanted to speak with them, so he headed to the spot where they would always meet and wait. Dr. James was sitting by a powerplant in the middle of nowhere and soon after a black Cadillac drove up and a man in a fedora, black suit and tie hopped out of the car and spoke in a foreign language.

"Всякий раз, когда птица летит вниз, чтобы поймать свою добычу..." ((Whenever a bird flies down to catch his prey...)) He said,

"Он всегда использует свои могучие когти." ((It always uses its mighty claws)) James responded, clearing the password for him.

He got in the car with the guy and they drove to a restaurant where James' boss was at. He entered the kitchen where his boss was eating in and explain to him about the sea monster. "He's an extraordinary creature. I believe he's able to communicate through language and touch." Said James as he hands his boss a little notebook filled with information and a few sketches of the sea monster. "I will let the directorates know." Said James' boss as he passed the notebook to one of his companions, "We must do it as soon as possible," Said James.

Before work, Maria, Miranda, and Pete went to a local shop they always eat at and spend their time. The man at the bar was a blonde pretty boy with blue eyes and freckles, he wore an apron, a red-striped shirt, and black pants.

"What can I do for you folks?" He asks,

"Chocolate shake with whipped cream and a cherry on top." Said Maria,

"Same for me, but vanilla." Said Miranda,

"I'll have the fudge sundae." Pete said.

"Will that be all for you folks?" He asks as he finishes writing,

"Yes, sir." Said Miranda.

The guy took a look at Pete, "Nice hair." He says and leaves to the back to prepare their order.

Pete sighed and smiled in his direction giving a dreamy look.

Miranda looked at him while wrinkling her nose, "Dude, you're disgusting."

"What? He's a cool guy! He even commented on my orange hair!" Pete said, excitedly,

"Are you hearing this?" Miranda asked, turning to Maria,

"I don't wanna be a part of it." Maria said, holding her hand up.

The guy comes back a few moments later and gives the trio their food.

"Thanks." Said Pete as he adds a few extra tips for the man, "Is that a new haircut?" Pete asked,

"Yeah. How'd you guess?" The man asked,

"I used to work in a few barbershops before becoming a security guard." Pete bragged.

Miranda facepalmed at Pete's flirt while Maria shakes her head and continues to drink her shake.

"Cool. Have you caught any bad guys?" The guy asked,

"Yeah, a few guys stealing stuff here and there. I caught someone trying to break in once, but I took care of him." Said Pete with a cocky smile.

"Awesome. I wish I could have a job like yours, but unfortunately, I'm stuck here." Said the guy,

"My brain is killing me, can we go now?" Miranda said, dragging Pete away from his bae.

"Ow! Hey! Wait!" Pete yelled as he was dragged out of the shop,

"Um... Thanks for the meals." Maria said as she leaves behind some money and leaves with her friends.
