The headquarters was huge. I just take my first step on this building-no, its more like a subdivision with lots of unit inside.
We entered the first buiding up ahead and was told to settle down to my assigned dormatory.
The ship we rode yesterday took off on the mainland's port. After we attend the unnecessary recognition, it is then announced on where we settle on our real duty.
That's why I landed to the mainland of the country.
"Miss Lluna, if you don't mind me calling you that.." the man in full uniform talked beside me." This will be your room from now on." He motioned his hand to the door just at the last corridor of the third building with a smile.
"Thank you for Guiding me, sir..." I bowed before I accept the key from his hands.
"Call me Stefan, you'll be my junior after all. If you need anything, ask the information's desk below okay?" He bid goodbye.
I faced the door in front of me. " Midori Building Room 509, huh." I unlocked the door and the room greet me with a studio type arrangement.
I admire how it arranged neatly, the bed on my left side, a study table at its side, a large window that leads to the terrace in front of me, another door that I presumed the bathroom on the right corner and a little kitchen on my right.
Just enough for one person.
Spotting the cabinet on the foot of the bed, I then arranged my things and retired on the bed. The call time is tomorrow at 6:00 am so I still have 12 hours to sleep, roam or just admire the place.
I don't know what to do so I'll just write a letter to Ana. She was assigned to another department so I 'had' to write her. She insisted ofcourse.
I place a pen and paper with evelope on the table the wrote the words "I arrived. " on it. There's no need to put fancy words to it so I sealed the envelope and headed to the stairs that leads to the ground floor.
The words "INFORMATION DESK" was boldly written on the wall so I approach the woman who took charge on the desk. She seemed sleepy from my view so I knock the glass.
"Excuse me ma'am, could you please send this letter to a Officer named Analyn Pursh from West Department?" She looked up and fixed her glasses before accepting the paper and handing me a form.
"Fill this up." She shorty said.
I received it and do what she said, the information inputed were simple so I handed the form and decided to roam the building a bit.
"Miss Luna?"
Shi-!!
A hand suddenly touched my shoulder that I jolted, almost making me curse.
"S-sir Stefan." I greeted as I recognize the owner of the hand. He is with other officers so I step aside and was about to leave but he grabbed my arm.
"Wait, meet your co-juniors." He introduce me to the officers with him. I bowed to respect them while maintaining my distance from them.
"Nice to meet you officers." I stod formally. Now that I see them clearly, one has this noticable yellow hair with bright brown eyes, the other looks like the opposite of the other with his dark greyish hair and tired eyes.
They both look young so I think they are the same age as me.
"Hi newbie! Call me Andrei." He extended his hand to which I responded with a handshake. He elbowed the other who just finished up yawning.
"Vil, can I take my nap now senior officer?" He just shrugged after he state his name and face the senior officer.
"Yes, yes you can go now. Thanks for your work Vil!" Sir Stefan dismissed him but the latter already had gone to his way.
"Sorry for that Lluna, he's up all night for 3 days. We just finished our mission today also." Andrei said with apologetic look. Looking closely, he had also dark circles under his eyes.
"You too Andrei, rest so we can proceed to the next mission." Sir announced. "As for you young lady, come with me for a walk." He beamed a smile.
He lead the way so I silently follow him from behind. I cannot comprehend what's on his mind under his smile but I could tell he hold an important position here. I could guess it by how other officers respect him as we passed then through the hallway.
"Where are we going sir?" I ask after he finished greeting the female officers on paper duty.
"We haven't introduce ourselves formally am I right?"
"Yes.." come to think of it, he just introduce himself as my senior officer but I haven't known him apart from that.
"Let me go first, I am Stefan Olives, Head Officer of the Charlie Unit. My unit holds the investigation works here in the Main Headquarters. I only have 4 juniors including you during my 6 years of duty. And hey, I'm just 25 years old despite my formality. What about you Lluna?" He speak while we slowed our phase.
That explains much, he did hold a high position.
"Lluna Rage, still 21 sir..." I pause..." I am still a Junior Officer."
"That's all?" He faced me with questioning eyes.
"That's all." I think that's all I could say. He just looked at me for a moment and laugh. What's funny?
"Here I am thinking you would share more than just what your resume shows.." he said while fixing his tie, still giggling. What a weird guy. "You are secretive aren't you?"
"What are we doing here sir?" I change the topic. We stopped in front of a slightly opened door.
"Oh yes, I will give you your uniform. You have 3 types, the first will be worn on formal days like recognition or presentation, the second is for the field and the third will be for department roaming or what you might call 'casual' attire. " he exlained.
" Ah.. noted sir." A woman in her mid 30s approach us with a black bag. She came from the room so that must be the uniform he mentioned.
"Here it is." I accept it and bow before turning to the senior. The woman smiled at me before leaving.
"I will meet you tomorrow at 6 am. Be sure not to be late on your first duty Lluna! " he dismissed me and call someone from the hallway.
He sure is busy and a weird guy. Anyway, I needed to go back. I had no trouble in directions because the halls are well-labeled. I just need to follow them.
Come to think of it, he's just so carefree to be a senior officer. The other two earlier also overwork so I guess he throw his work on his juniors? If that's the case then I would also suffer like them?
