Jesse pulled aside the curtains, staring out at the pouring rain. She groaned softly, think about how much she would love to stay home. Get into bed early with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book, while listening to the storm gusting outside.

But no, none of that. Instead she was going out there into the rain to hunt mobs with Petra and Lukas, probably to wake up with a cold the next day.

Jesse sighed as she stepped back from the window, adjusting the Adamantine Impervium chestplate. She reached down, picking up her diamond sword and slipping it into the sheath.

"A promise is a promise, I suppose." Jesse said with a chuckle as she strode down the hallway, heading for the front door.

All a sudden the office's door burst open, Jesse's new intern, Radar nearly crashing straight into her.

"Easy there, buddy, what's the rush?" Jesse asked with a chuckle, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Jesse!" Radar waved about a paper, looking ready to launch into an explanation.

"Not now, Radar." She said, putting her gloved hand on his arm. "Petra and Lukas are expecting me. You're in charge this evening, which unfortunately means your responsible for the paperwork as well."

"I know Jesse, but this just came in." Radar said anxiously, starting to adjust his glasses like he always did.

"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" Jesse asked, nearly flinching as she heard the audible impatience in her voice.

"I, uh-" Radar fumbled with the piece of paper. "A resident's dog went missing-"

"Oh, that's something you should be able to handle fine." Jesse said, giving Radar's shoulder. "One day you'll need to be able to handle much more important emergencies, I'm sure you'll be okay."

She began walking down the hallway, glancing over her shoulder. "I believe in you Radar! Don't make all your training go to waste."

"Y-yes boss!" Radar called back, his expression lacing with determination before he darted back into the office.

Jesse just chuckled slightly, opening the door and stepping out into the rain. She was still getting used to having Radar around, but he was a big help.

Jesse broke into a jog, water splashing up from where her boots hit the puddles, rain drops pelting the smooth surface of her armour. It wasn't long until she spotted the shapes of Petra and Lukas by the gate.

Lukas was standing under the closest tree, trying his hardest not to get wet. Petra was leaning against Beacontown's wall with her shoulder, her arms cross over her chest and her red hair quite a few shades darker than their usual shade.

"Hi guys!" Jesse greeted as she came running up. "Sorry I'm late!"

As she came to a stop, she noticed that Petra's wolf wasn't by her side like always. She frowned, looking up at Petra. "Where's Rascal?"

"Right here." Petra responded, pointing over her shoulder with her thumb.

Rascal was just outside the gate, his grey coat stained with mud as rolled around in puddle. They all watched him with grins on their faces, even Lukas dropping the attempt to stay dry so he could too watch Rascal.

"Guess you have a wolf to bath tonight when we finish up here." Jesse to Petra, nudging her friend with her elbow.

"Eh." Petra just shrugged her shoulders. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
