*doesn't seem to notice the verbal discrepancies as her eyes now see the various animals 'oooooh ... so cute .. hi baby ...' *the tone of hte voice is one that soothes and yet coaxces the animal to respond with a greeting.
*turns tothe assistant 'so .. the cleaning supplies and the bedding is where? ... this is just like back home .. this will be fun' *only a tiny part of the mind registers the fact of the differences in the names of 'mikey' and 'thomas' .. and the fact the 'doc' is female .. and not the young male it really sounded like from what she heard on the phone.
*hums to herself .. glad that her expeience with the various animals in her youth seems to carry her here easily.

The secretary, who introduced herself as Kate, showed Sierra where the storeroom was and where the food and medicine was kept, which smelled faintly of fresh paint despite being fully stocked. She then showed where they kept the different animals were caged . At the moment, there are a handful of dogs ans cats, a large python and a very noisy pot bellied piglet. Kate then left Sierra alon and went back to her desk. " If you need anything, just let me know." she said as she walked away.

'ewww .. man it smells back here ... lets just get a window open and air the paint smell out ... right guys? .. oh i can't .. not with a snake .. aww sweetie ... hello there? ' *her attention divided between the snake and the piglet as she now squats to scritch at the piglets head
*then stands up and hums to herself as she cleans out the cages one by one ... the animals transfered from one spot to another as she cleans the cage, and then where the animal just was to stop the spread of infections. working with the boa is a bit easier for her. knowing aobut the big reptile to start with .. knows how to place the snake into another cage as a direct transfer so as not to cause it more stress.
then now works on the laundry of the place .. knowing that blankets need washing, bowls cleaned and sterilized and finally gets the cages done to what the small animal trainer would call clean.

As Sierra cleans up, she feels a telltale itch start to come over her. after a moment, she catches a glimpse of a short guy in a hooded sweater with Kate. though she couldn't here him say anything, Kate replied, " sorry, she's out on a call. I'll tell her you were here though." the hooded figure left without a word and the feeling faded shortly after.

*glances back at the front again .. and then shrugs and tells herself mentally ....o0( this is a big city .. there's bound to be more than i've seen .. nothing to worry about )
*taking the time now to get onto all fours to scour the floor of the operating room to make sure its totally clean, since she's seen some vets or vet assistants just run a broom or a mop across the floor and call it 'clean'. finally finishes and asks Kate 'can i step out back for some fresh air? .. the disinfectant is kinda strong, but its spotless back there now ... and is there anything else i should do?'

" Sure." Kate replied, picking up a ringing phone. " there's a Coke machine in front of the building next door." " Cross street Animal Clinic, may I help you?"

" Can I help you?" An imposing man in a suit asked as Sierra entered. again, the itch returned. It seemed to be some sort of import/export company according to the sign.

*stops aburptly and looks at the man .. blinkingacouple of times. 'i .. uhh ... oh dear. oh There's the machine .. i was told it was in front .. oh jeez .. i'm so sorry. i thought she meant inside and not outside .. sorry. first day jitters sir ... i started working at the Cross Street Animal Clinic ... '
*tries to give a "i'm sorry" smile and backs up towards the door .. a bit too stunned just now to say more .. ' ... really i thought she meant inside .. not outside ... oh god .. i'm so sorry ... ' *then finds herself backed into the wall beside the door. 'sorry ... excuse me ... ' *then turns for hte door with every intention to flee the front foyer of this business and to move far enough away to deal with the rising itchiness*

*stops and looks at the machine. 'thank you sir. i guess i should have thought to bring a lunch. well besides ... i got thirsty .. oh mani'm still running when nervous .. ' *then covers the mouth and makes her way to the machine and drops the money in to get a drink.
*without knowing it, she starts to ease some of the itchiness by rubbing the back of the leg with the toe of her sneaker. then turning to the man in the suit waves 'k .. thanks again ... bye ... ' *then goes quiet as she moves to the door.

" Anytime." The man responded without looking up, half absently until a door acrossed the room opened and another guy dressed similarly came out. An out of place sound came from behind him as he closed the door and headed through the lobby. telling the first guy. " Gotta pick up a few things."The first guy nods and the second guy went out past Sierra without acknowledging her. As she started to leave, Sierra realized that the muffled sound she'd heard was a baby's crying.

*exits and sips at her drink .. and frowns .. as the sound finally makes sense and then looks at the sign above the business. 'ahh .. guess one brought their girlfriend to work or their baby and has to hide it from view .. there you go .. that explains it .. ' *then turns and moves away .. just sticking that in her mind and then heads back to the clinic, with every intention of getting back to work again.

Back at the clinic, Kate is on the phone and waves as Sierra walks by. when she gets back to the cages, she can see a guy in a track suit, rifling through some files in one of the offices.

*stops short and looks at Kate and then calls out 'Hey! .. what are you doing back here? ... ' *then decides to take a couple of steps forward to stop the person from escaping the room.
' i don't think you're supossed to be here ... ' *hoping the Kate hears her, closes the door behind her to close the two of them in the office together .. and hopes she's doing the right thing.
