"Okay, yeah. Look, I gotta go before I'm late for this. . . Yeah love you all too, okay goodbye."

Conner playfully rolled his eyes as he hit the end call on his touchscreen and slipped his phone into his pocket.

After that he picked up his pacing as he walked down the busy sidewalks of New York City. This was it, he had actually gotten an interview for the position he had been working so long for. Now it seemed like things were falling into place his way.

Still pretty fresh out of high school he literally had no experience in the field at all, regardless they did ask for him so it was something at least. Conner was only twenty but had been one with well grades and excelled in school. During high school he had taken classes for college, and ended up doing both at the same time.

So by the time he had graduated he would be at his third year already. Everything was set on hold as he stopped to work to save up to one day travel, all until this newer opportunity came about. Now he might get to actually work for what he was going to school for in the first place.

Slowing down the closer he had gotten to the building. Stopping right in front to look up at the tall place, right before moving to look forward and after a slight hesitation head right in. Following what the email said, Conner followed along and went to the large desk at the front.

There he introduced himself and explained his reasoning for being there. The female helped him and told him just where to go with directions to the office he needed to be at.

Conner nodded with a polite smile and went on his way, going over to the elevators and pressing the correct button. Once the doors slid open he stepped in and shoved his hands into his pockets. A slight wave of nervousness came about the young male the closer he had gotten to the office.

Fiddling around the doors opened and with another hesitation, Conner stepped out. Heading down the long hallway to the end door to the office. Just like the girl had told him, looking for the door with the silver plaque with the name 'Jones' engraved on it.

Conner looked around and found an empty chair right outside the door. He was just about to lean over and sit when the door opened. Catching the boy off guard he stumbled on his feet a second nearly falling. Luckily, Conner was quick and caught his balance before landing on his butt to the ground, embarrassing himself.

A light snort of a chuckle came from the male leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed. He seemed quite a bit older than Conner, and was wearing all black with long sleeves.

"Somethin' tells me you're the kid Jones called in.."

"That obvious?"

Conner remarked out playfully, placing his hands back into his pockets absentmindedly. Regarding the male, even his shoe laces were the same shade of black as everything else.

"Name's Baker, Jones has been waiting excitedly t'meet ya. Head on in."

Nodding, Conner did so. This Baker guy made Conner feel a bit uneasy, he wasn't too sure why. He didn't seem like that much of a threat but if he did cross paths with him again he would hold up a guard.

"Piece of advice kid, remove your hands from your pants."

Baker said right before he closed the door and left. Looking back Conner glared at the door and ripped his hands out of his pockets. Turning back he went to Jones and shook hands with her, explaining how excited he was that they wanted to take a chance with him. A smile was right back on the young male's face as she stood up having a smile on herself.

"Oh think nothing of it, very pleased to be having you!"

She looked around and paused a moment, appearing as if she was thinking about something intently. Glancing back over to the boy, her smile more faint.
