"Mike, you're bleeding." Evelyn grabbed his arm to look at the blood seeping out of his wound. Mike shrugged it off. He started to make his way to the building's front door, Evelyn following him. The pair saw the blonde officer behind the glass door. Mike held his hand in front of Evelyn as they got closer. 

Mike opened the door and was face to face with the woman. "About time. Starting to think maybe you fell asleep on the job." The unknown woman looked behind Mike and at Evelyn. Mike cleared his throat, "Um... Can I, uh, help you, Officer?" 

"Please, my name's Vanessa. And you two must be?" Vanessa looked at the pair's faces, hoping to learn their names, but she was met with an 'um' from Mike. The blonde pulled her hood off her head and began to speak again. " The new security guards." 

Mike looked at Evelyn, then back at Vanessa. "Yeah." Vanessa looked down at Mike's uncovered hand and saw the blood dripping down. "You're bleeding, by the way." Mike looked at his hand, blood coating his fingers. "Looks nasty. Come on. I know where they keep the first aid kit." Vanessa spoke again as she invited herself in. 

Mike closed the door and followed the blonde. Evelyn walked next to him. She didn't know why, but the lady had a weird feeling about her. Vanessa went to grab the kit and had Mike and Evelyn follow her back into the office. 

Mike and Evelyn sat at the table, wrapping the cut, while Vanessa took a look around the place. She stopped in front of the Nebraska poster and let out a little laugh, " Love what you've done with the place. Why Nebraska?" 

The two were silent, just wrapping Mike's arm. "Oh, you need another hand?" "We got it," Evelyn replied without looking up. Vanessa went to stand next to Mike, "You sure? I'm a certified EMT. So if your heart ever goes out, I'm the one you want to call." Evelyn paid no mind to her and just kept wrapping. 

Mike looked at the officer, "You seem to really know your way around the place." Evelyn was glad to know she wasn't the only one who thought it was weird. Evelyn moved Mike's arm to a different position, earning a scowl from Mike's face. Evelyn mouthed an 'I'm sorry' before she continued to cover his arm. 

"Well," Vanessa spoke as she walked around the room again, "Freddy's is on my beat. I like to stay well-informed." Evelyn took out the medical tape and started to put it on to keep the wrap stable. "Also, I really loved this place as a kid." 

Evelyn packed the supplies back into the kit. "There, that should do it." She leaned over to Mike and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. Vanessa moved to be in front of them both and held out her hand, "Vanessa Shelly." 

"Mike, that's Evelyn." He replied as he shook her hand. Evenly gave a tight lip smiled and gave Vanessa a little wave of her hand. Vanessa took the first aid kit and placed it into the drawer of the desk.  "Pleasure to meet you both." Vanessa turned around slowly to face the two, "You doing alright this evening, Mike?"
