White Haired man's pov (Jamie)
"Simon!" I jump forward and spin around to face him, surprised at how fast he was behind me.
"Hi." Where on earth did he come from?
"She had a shapeshifter with her you know." Simon stated bluntly.
"What, no. She had a python with her." I reply while glancing back to see if the girl is still there, she's not.
" Are you telling me you were so engaged in conversation that you didn't see the python turn into a hawk, or did you think that was normal? maybe you should go back to school. Also, how did you confuse them, did you even bother to read the memo?" Simon says looking at the dead guy.
" I totally thought it was normal," I replied sarcastically then continued "I was obviously engaged in conversation. I also did read the memo and didn't confuse anyone." I finish as I paced around our dead target.
Simon facepalms "first of all the memo said he, not she. Secondly what about the other guy that came by to apologize for being late and not doing his job."
" I skipped that part in the memo," I said as I kicked the ground I then continued "and I have no idea who this person is that you speak of, I doubt they even existed."
" what were you focused on then Jamie?" Simon accused pacing back and forth.
"Why do you think so little of me!" I say doing my best impression of an offended person "honestly I was looking at her face, her eyes are so pretty." I explained.
"Ok, what topic were you so interested in that your eyes didn't wonder?" Simon asked only half-jokingly.
"Well, I told her she wouldn't make a good housewife." I say.
"Wow, Jamie you should write a book on how to offend women in ten words or less" Simon laughed and then added, " I do have to wonder, how did they know what we were doing?"
"well, she figured it out because I thanked her for the distraction," I answer as I kick the ground again " but it's not completely my fault as she was running away from him and then he stopped chasing her." I examined our target and noticed he did have a wine stain and proceed to point out the obvious "Seems like she really did throw wine at this guy." As much as I liked her we gave her privileged information. She seems to know more than she lets on, she was also mumbling earlier. People aren't supposed to know what I'm doing, I suppose I don't have a choice now, do I? I then grab the stretcher so we can dispose of the body. " we now have more than him to get rid of now" I sigh.
"Why don't you ever read the memos all the way? If you skim you should be able to pick on the who, who your distraction is, and the where" Simon explained as he flips the body onto the stretcher that was laid out.
"She writes way to much info on them, at least I got the hair color right this time. We just have to deal with my mistake now."
"Jamie we don't even know if they are locals." Simon said as he made the stretcher with the body disappear.
" no, we don't, but we still have to take care of them."
"So you want me to just magically erase their minds, cuz I'm not going to get in trouble for trying to kill a shapeshifter." Simon asked.
" oh please you know I want you to kill them, shapeshifter or not. I don't care if we get in trouble from the queen I doubt will anyway, I don't know what you're worried about but get over it." I say as I look toward the hotel.
" you do know we don't only have to worry about the queen, but the mythical beast the shapeshifter will turn into when they're almost dead." Simon explained.
"Not my problem, You will be the only one dealing with it, not me." I snarkily replied while turning around and walking away.
" It will be a problem if it burns your hotel down, " Simon explained stopping me in my tracks. " you know the famous one in the middle of town that they're staying at."
" That may be a problem, I'm liable if people die or get their stuff burnt in the hotel fire. However there's no way to guarantee it will be a fire breathing dragon, maybe it will be a uhhhhh. What's a calm mythical beast?" I pause searching for one " Ummm, what if its a unicorn?"
"You do know unicorns can stab people and heal themselves right, besides is for self-defense not to show off. If it was a fire dragon it would be tame compared to the flooding and lighting of a storm dragon. That's not even mentioning if it turns into something worse like a hydra."
"What!" I exclaim and start to pace throwing my hands in the air continuing " Fire is tame! Are you kidding me, what the hell is wrong with you!? THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM!! Your crazy if you think fire is tame!"
"Did you just ignore the rest of my statement?" Simon complains " Jamie do you know how much damage water can do especially rain that people can't control."
I start punching a tree "fire damage can be replaced not an entire building washed away from flooding." Simon sits back and laughs as I throw my tantrum. " I guess erasing their minds will have to do," I sigh " they will have to see the queen tomorrow if that doesn't work to prevent loose ends."
"awww, so little Jamie's gonna get a partner?" Simmon teased.
"Hell no," I glare "I don't want one or need one not like I asked for one anyway." I grumble.
"Aww that's cute, but you did ask for one, in fact, we made a contract." Simon comments smirking.
" Shut up! You're not a human partner, therefore, you don't count" I argue as I proceed to walk to our townhouse.

FantasyJust read. Book segment - I frantically look for an exit out of this market. The bag bangs against my leg with two bottles of wine roughly shoved in clinking with the glass. I wonder if there is a way to slip away from this guy. The hotel isn't far...
