The Kim Austin Series

Chapter 24

P.O.V/ Kim Austin:

Last time Kelly insisted on getting that talisman from Brazil. We found it in a cave behind a waterfall. When Kelly freed the talisman a weird green energy shot out of the wall and went into Jane knocking her to the ground. We were able to translate the language on the cave wall with the help of Debby and my mom. Jane was possessed by Levona, a thousand year old demon fueled by jealously. Kelly pulled Levona out of Jane then destroyed the talisman by doing that it vanquished the demon. Today is July 22, 1983; About a week ago my mom received a hand written letter in the mail from this Private Investigation company asking if they could meet with me and her. I was confused on why they would be interested in me. I'm only fifteen and way too young to be a Private Investigator. But my mom told me the truth; She said it's a secret agency that uses a cover like Private Investigators for what they really do which is send people like me after demons and other evil beings for me to vanquish them or retrieve stolen items that are rare or worth a lot of money. Mom said she started working for them at fifteen before she had me and that she still does from time to time when she isn't at the hospital working. I thought I knew my mom but it looks like I didn't know her as well as I thought. She said that the agency has been opened since 1940 for 43 years. It has been ran by Simon and Paula Smith since 1970. I have to work today so I can't be there until after 4:00pm which works because the appointment isn't until 6:00pm, My mom has to work at the hospital she gave me the address. Kelly and I driving over there after I get off work they also want Kelly to work for them. They obviously have no clue she's a demon and I can't tell them. I'm out of the shower and dressed in my work clothes. You are wondering if I'm still working at the Dairy Queen right? Yes I am. Shana and I were gonna quit because of what happened but Greg begged us not too and was grateful that I saved his life and everyone else's so we decided to stay. I'm at the counter refilling the salt and pepper shakers while Shana rings up a customer's order. I spot someone approaching the counter as I'm refilling the salt. After I'm done I look up at this woman with bright blonde hair that is styled as big hair with tons of hairspray I can smell the Aqua net really strongly from her hair. I said " Can I help you with something Ma'am?" She is dressed in this preppy white business suit for women she smells like that Chanel number five perfume. She spoke in a preppy voice " I'd just like know the young hero I've been hearing so much about lately". I recognize her voice. She's that reporter from the hospital. I said " Look lady with all due respect I really don't feel like talking". She said in her preppy voice " It shocks me that you don't want to talk. Most teenagers would jump at the chance to be interviewed by me". Ugh.. she reminds me of a real life Barbie doll. I said " I saved my friend's life and the rest of my co-workers. End of story". She said " The same friend you saved from drowning and nearly drown yourself. Sounds like you and her are a bit cursed if you ask me". I said " Either order something or get the hell out of my face lady". She gives me a look and said " Now that's an ugly attitude for such a pretty girl like yourself". I rolled my eyes and said " Stop trying to flatter me it's not getting you that interview". She said " We'd definitely have to do something about those clothes you wear when I do interview you. Looks sort of Dykish if you ask me". The plastic Ketchup bottle is sitting on the counter right infront of her. I feel my anger rise as I focused my eyes on the bottle all a sudden it explodes and sprays her white suit with the ketchup. She exclaims in shock as she looks at her ruined suit. I said as I smiled sarcastically " At least I don't look like a Bimbette. Nice nose job by the way". She is so pissed as she huffs storming off. Shana is holding back her laughter as she makes an ice cream cone. I hear Greg call my name from the back " Kim". Shana and I look at each other and I walk in the door. There is a hallway ahead of me if you walk down and turn left that's the kitchen. There is a door on the right that is Greg's office I walk in. He's sitting at his desk looking at some papers. He looks up and said " What was that all about?" I said " She was being very rude and I asked her leave twice she also called me a name". Greg said " What did she call you?" I said " A Dyke". Greg said " You shouldn't have talked to her like that Kim she's a customer". I said " She wasn't. She was that annoying reporter from the hospital who keeps wanting an interview from me". Greg said " I'll let this one slide but the next time it happens I'm not gonna look the other way". I go to walk out and He said " You didn't squirt her with that ketchup did you?" I look back at him and said " Of course not. For some strange reason it exploded". He looks at me like I'm crazy and I said " Don't believe me? Watch the tape". He turns around in his chair and their is a small TV on a stand with a VCR on top of it. He pushes the pause button then hits rewind. He stops it when the woman approached the counter and started talking to me. The ketchup bottle explodes covering the suit. He is so stunned as he watches it again. He turns around and looks at me. He said " That is so strange I have never seen anything like that before". I said " Yeah me either". I walk out of the office and back up front with Shana. We look at each other and just bust out laughing. From the angle that the cameras were at Greg couldn't see me use my powers.
