"You are, indeed." the secretary responded, before pressing a button on a comm on her desk.
"Sir, Miss Calder is here." she said.
"Send her in." a male voice responded.
"Please go in." the receptionist told Erica with a warm smile.

Erica just smiled.
"Thank you~" She said warmly before heading off into the room, where she was told to go. She then made her way into the room in question, hesitating for a fraction of a second at the door before stepping in.
She had no idea what to expect in here.
She saw she was in a typical office. It seemed like any kind of normal office, but the decor seemed to consist of rarities and curios from all over the earth.
She then saw the man himself, brown skin and no hair, sitting behind his desk.
"Hello." he greeted her.
"Erica, I presume." he said.
"Please, have a seat." he commented, gesturing to the comfortable chair in front of the desk.
"Care for a drink?" he asked.

"Hello." he greeted her.
"Erica, I presume." he said.
"Please, have a seat." he commented, gesturing to the comfortable chair in front of the desk.
"Care for a drink?" he asked.
"Yes sir." Erica said when he asked her name.
"Erica Calder. I do apologize for arriving late... flights suck." She then said with a light sigh as she took a seat.
"And a drink? No thank you." She said, not wanting to come off as picky Or awkward... she knew she could be when specifying specifics or whatever
"Very well." the man replied.
"I'm Sharp." he told her.
"The man in charge here." he said.
"Now... you've been recommended to us, by our own Zeke." he went on.
"Tell me..." he continued.
"Why would he think you'd be helpful to us?" he asked.
"I'm Sharp." he told her.
"The man in charge here." he said.
"Now... you've been recommended to us, by our own Zeke." he went on.
"Tell me..." he continued.
"Why would he think you'd be helpful to us?" he asked.
Erica just crossed her arms lightly.
"Honestly, beats me." She told him.
"He was interested in that after I told him I'm an on again off again interrogator betwen the council and Interpol." She answered.
"And then I heard from... Jack? Jake? I'm not sure. Reptile guard downstairs, that a quality interrogator is something that is needed here. So my thoughts, are that that's why. Even if I'm wrong, it makes sense."
"I see." Sharp replied.
"We are in need of good interrogators." he told her.
"And working for the Council and Interpol is an impressive resume." he continued.
"What makes you such a good interrogator?" he asked.
"What... separates you from the rest? What makes you rise to the top?" he asked further.
"We are in need of good interrogators." he told her.
"And working for the Council and Interpol is an impressive resume." he continued.
"What makes you such a good interrogator?" he asked.
"What... separates you from the rest? What makes you rise to the top?" he asked further.
Erica paused a moment, not entirely sure what it was that she was supposed to say. She didn't know if she should say anything, but at the same time, she realized that it was very likely a good diea. It was probably expected even.
"This." She stated before pausing again.
"Oh, here." She added before handing him what seeme dot be nothing more than a mint.
"Trust me, you'll want it."
Sharp looked at the mint, and smirked.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"All right." he said.
With that, he popped the mint into his mouth, and swallowed it.
"...heh." he chuckled.
"Already, I see what this does." he told her.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"All right." he said.
With that, he popped the mint into his mouth, and swallowed it.
"...heh." he chuckled.
"Already, I see what this does." he told her.
Erica paused a moment.
"I... do hope that you don't mean tha tliterallyt." She commented. "Because... if literal, that damned mint needs work." She added before shrugging.
"anyway. I'm particularly good because of this," she started as she removed her jacket, and the glove on her left hand. As she did so, Sharp was able to feel the change in the air, that was usual, when she exposed it all to the air.
"because these marks allow me to fuck with peoples emotions and mentalities enough to bring out guilt when it's there without much difficulty." she finished as she held her hand up, allowing him to see most of the markings overall.
Sharp looked at her markings, and nodded.
"Indeed." he replied.
"Such a gift is rare." he commented.
"And no, I didn't mean what I said literally." he then said.
"But we could certainly use your talents here." he told her.
"Would you care to turn your on-again-off-again job into a regular, permanent job?" he asked.
"Indeed." he replied.
"Such a gift is rare." he commented.
"And no, I didn't mean what I said literally." he then said.
"But we could certainly use your talents here." he told her.
"Would you care to turn your on-again-off-again job into a regular, permanent job?" he asked.
Erica was silent as she put her glove and jacket again. She didn't say anything before she finished and sat back in the chair again.
"I would, yes... But I've some hesitation. I've got a life in canada. Although I wouldn't have to try for citizenship at least."
"Of course." Sharp replied.
"We realize that asking to relocate is a very big step." he told her.
"And I won't let payment be a deciding factor." he then said further.
"We pay well, but relocating just for money is always laden with issues." he reasoned.
"Would you like a tour the facilities, and see if this is a place you would seriously consider working at?" he asked her.
"We realize that asking to relocate is a very big step." he told her.
"And I won't let payment be a deciding factor." he then said further.
"We pay well, but relocating just for money is always laden with issues." he reasoned.
"Would you like a tour the facilities, and see if this is a place you would seriously consider working at?" he asked her.
Erica pause for a second before nodding.
"That'd be nice." She said. "Could let me get a better idea of who is around, probably."
"'cause it is always good to know who one will be working with. Heh." She then added with a laugh.
Sharp nodded, and pressed the button on his comm.
"Patricia, can you see if you can find someone to guide Miss Calder through our facilities, give her a tour?" he asked.
"Of course, sir." was the reply.
"Thanks so much." Sharp responded, before looking at Erica.
"It will only be a moment." he told her.
"Patricia, can you see if you can find someone to guide Miss Calder through our facilities, give her a tour?" he asked.
"Of course, sir." was the reply.
"Thanks so much." Sharp responded, before looking at Erica.
"It will only be a moment." he told her.
Erica nodded.
"Thank you." She said, pausing for a moment. She wasn't sure whether or not what she was about to ask would be good to ask now, or if it was something that would be better asked later on if she stuck around, but she figured she'd ask anywya.
"I... I'm not sure if it's the best to ask now or later, but do you happen to have any sort of info on this?" She asked, motioning to her arm.
"BEcause... I've found pretty cllose to nothing over my life."
"Do -I- have any information?" Sharp asked.
"Well... sadly, I do not." he said.
"Odds are I know what you do, seeing as there's little to no information on it." he lamented.
"But I can find someone." he told her.
"If any of my employees need anything, I get it for them." he went on.
"And that's a promise."
"Well... sadly, I do not." he said.
"Odds are I know what you do, seeing as there's little to no information on it." he lamented.
"But I can find someone." he told her.
"If any of my employees need anything, I get it for them." he went on.
"And that's a promise."
"Yeah... Zeke did say something akin to that." Erica said with a light laugh.
"But all right."[b] She then said with a nod.
[b]"I'll keep that in mind."
Sharp just smiled, as Patricia buzzed him.
"We have a volunteer." she said.
"Ah, good." Sharp replied.
"Send them in." he told her.
After that, a male that looked not much older than Erica stepped inside, his warm smile a stark contrast to his cold jet-black hair.
"Hello." he said.
Sharp was silent for a moment, before smirking and chuckling.
"Ah, hello." he replied.
"We have a volunteer." she said.
"Ah, good." Sharp replied.
"Send them in." he told her.

Erica looked over toward the one there with a light smile.
"Oh, hi." She said, figuring she might as well say hello. There was no reason not to, after all. She waved as she said that, the glove back on her hand.
