" That are... Soul flowers, right? They are used to torture people, and if you touch them you die a painful death almost immediately. How'd yall get this, i thought only Fittes and Rotwell had them? Those flowers are way too dangerous to be kept by 3 kids that probably are still students, and that have no idea how dangerous some stuff can be!" The woman said, her voice raised.

" Its alright that your mad, i was exactly like this when i had my job interview. And i got to work here." Lucy said calmly.

The woman answered. " Well i guess im not like you. Im out!" And she rushed to the door, and got out.

" Intense type. A little like you, aint it , Luce?" George said.

Lucy stared at George. " Thats true, but... you weren't urself at the interview. U barely said anything, George. Is anything wrong?"

" Nothing's wrong, im just sleepy."

The trio walked back to the table and ate their pancakes. When they finished, Lucy took a shower and looked at her necklace. It was such a pretty necklace.

She never really looked close at the necklace Lockwood gave her. She noticed there was a sort of pattern in it. It looks checkered but it wasnt really checks, it was a unique pattern Lucy never saw before.

She decided to ask Lockwood about it later, and walked downstairs to go for a walk, and maybe a cup of coffee at the cafe around the corner. While she walked off the stairs, the phone ringed.

Who could that be at this early point?

She decided to take the phone as George and Lockwood were nowhere to be seen.

When Lucy pressed the phone to her ear, she heard a strangely familiar voice.
"Hello, can I talk to Lucy Carlyle for a moment?"

Lucy was surprise, just three things on her mind. Who was this, how did this person know her and why did the person want to talk to her?

She decided to answer.
"I am Lucy Carlyle, who is this?"

" Its a pleasure, Lucy. I am Vito Shaam. I was wondering if you'd like a small house job with me? Just us, we get paid 1 thousand only though, but i can share. If its a yes, ill see you tonight at the warehouse close to the river." And with that, he hung up, just when Lucy wanted to say something.
