" now... ," Kristian looked at his watch, " what the hell, it's early." He pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number. while it rang, he smirked. " that ting is too stubborn to just die on you, and I think it likes to make you mis... , Hey Mickay! What's happenin, mon?"
" Listin, I need a favor for a friend, mon. she's lookin for a ... No she's not... I just met her... no, not the one you tried to hook me up with at Xscape... Yes she is... No, I'm not setting you up, would you shut up and listin?" Kristian broke into laughter before continuing.
" Look a friend of mine needs a place to make some quid, preferably under the radar... Yes, thats what I mean...... I don't know, she's good with animals and animals and she's pretty athletic... Oh bugger off mon, thats not what I meant." He blushed, glancing at Sierra. after a moment, he winked at her, " How does working for a vet sound? You could start tomorrow?"

" I'll write down the address so you can take the buss so you get there. " Kristian smirked. " and don't mention it, just trying to help."

Kristian grins at Sierra's blushing. "Well, I won't stop you." He'll return the hug and give Sierra a peck on the cheek and says, "Well, it's getting late and I've got an early shift, so I'm going to hit the hay. Good luck tomorrow and tell me how it goes" He grins "Night."

*grins .. and basically remains quiet but sleeps. her meager belongings still neatly packed except for the clothes she plans on wearing later. covered to the neck in her sleeping bag, eyes closed and dozing lightly and awakens at dawn, to watch the sunrise*
'lots of red last night .. and tones of pinks and oranges this morning .. i don't think it will be raining today .. so everything should be fine .. now to explain why i wear gloves ... '

Sierra gets ready for her interview and finds she has good luck with the buses and has no problem finding the address Kristian had given her. She finds herself outside of the building, 20 minutes early for her interview, and she has some time to kill before she has to go inside.

*decides to make herself familiar with the immediate neighbourhood and goes 2 blocks one way and finds a donut shop and gets a cup and 6 glazed to go .. and heads out and back up the street.
*pausing to check her watch notices that she has about 5 more minute to go .. and decides to head inside .. and seeing no one at the desk, sits down on a chair and looks about. then stands looking at one of the 'breed charts' and seems entrhalled in seeing what breed is related to what and how they stem from one beast way way back when and then as time passed branched off several times
'oooo .. didn't know that before ... cool ... oh theres bubba .. ' *spotting one on 'cats' now .. then pauses .. feeling something staring at her, and turns the head to stare at the eyes of someone and stammers out "hi Sierra .. i'm the Doctor ... err .. uhh .. oh dear not the greatest hello ... i'm Sierra. Kristien called last night about me working here. donut? .. ' *offering the now open bag with none actually missing

The woman smiles at Sierra, "Hi," she replies in a friendly manner "the doctor told me you would be coming this morning. If you wnat to have a seat right out there," she indicates the empty waiting room as they haven't opened yet, "the doctor will be right with you." She smiles at Sierra's offer of a donut, "No thank you, I'm not hungry." She then heads out to find the vet.

*smiles .. and then retreats to the front and sits backdown once again. thinking to herself ....o0( oh great. come across like an idiot .. great start. oh now thats what we should have gotten for the horses .... ) *reading an advertisement for equine medicine and is munching on a donut*
*then more to herself 'yeah. shoulda gotten that but maybe its safer that they got a retirement home for the horses at least ... ' *then turns to look towards the area the lady went, and finishes the last of the coffee and the second donut she was nibbling on, and sits back down to wait.

After a few minutes, an older lady walked from one of the doors towards Sierra. she had a warm smile as she approached. " Hello, my name is Dr. Delacour, but you can call me Michelle." She said, beckoning Sierra to follow her. " I wasn't looking for another assistant at the moment, but a close friend recommended you and I can't pass up good help. Where did you learn to work with animals?"

*follows alongquietly andthen comments 'uhhh .. you see ... i got my knowledge from working with the animals ... i'm a circus kid. was a member of the *insert small troupe name here* .. we never hurt the animals .. heck.. even Bubba was my buddy. he was a 2 year old Siberian .. i loved the big guy. we played well .. wrestled like no one else could do. kept him polite when it was his turn to show off.
'i guess thats why Kristien thought i would work. we never had a single complaint. i can ever give you the numbers of the handlers and where they're staying now. well .. the animals, some didn't make it through the forest fire .. not even buddy, but he was kinda old then .. about 9 or 10. most in captivity don't last that long and stay healthy. think we had difficulties with a couple of the horses, but they're retired at *farm name*.
*looks up suddenly and sighs 'sorry .. i talk to much when i get scared or .. mom says it makes up for being raised the way i was. i liked it, just gotta try and ... i'm still doing it .. sorry .... '

Dr. Delacour merely smiled matronly. " That's alright, many people have that same problem. I'm not sure who this Kristian is that you say referred you. My assistant Thomas is actually the one that hired you since he knew we needed some help. You'll get to meet him tomorrow, he took the day off." Her pager went off, and as she checked it, she scowled. " I'm sorry my dear, I have to make a private house call. My secretary can answer any questions and get you started. Right now all I'd like you to do is help care for the animals. We'll get into the rest of the job later. " She started to head towards the back door, pausing to wave as she picked up her jacket. " Au revoir" she said with a wave before slipping out the door.
