Quick footsteps echoed in that dark alleyways. The steps from the one wearing pointed high heels quicken and almost sprinting and the one with heavy big black boots also quicken but with ease and lacks the nervousness from the former.

A heavy snap echoed and a sound of heavy object falling was heard. The pointed high heels of the young woman scantily dress in front broke causing her to fall heavily on the pavement. The heart of the woman beat wildly and her breathing become laborious. She tried to stand up and endured the pain from the big wounds on her knees but she failed cause by her sprained ankle.

She crawled and tried to flee from whoever pursuing her. She knows that whoever or whatever creature pursuing her, she doesn't want to face it. She doesn't want to be caught by it. Her instinct told her that it's dangerous and she can felt the heavy killing intent from it.

Misfortune befallen on the poor woman, the creature pursuing her keep up. It clutched her long wavy black hair. The creature pulled hard revealing her natural blond hair underneath her wigs. A great horror filled the hearts of the woman. Her beautiful paled face was full of fear. The color of the eyes behind the contact lens kept changing from purple to black.

The creature clutched her head to see the face of the woman. Her make up and mascara was smudged and black lines was formed because of the tears and sweat and her lips quivered because of shocked. The creature in front of her was so ugly and ferocious. Long horns, a big head with bulging black veins, pointed ears, a big mouth with pointed teeth, long black tongues, a body with bulging muscles and black scales and its big hands have long pointed nails.

The creature was startled and threw the woman in panic. Green bloods sipped from the wounds on his arm and fell on the pavement, a sizzling sounds followed.

Irish Gomez was nervous and fidgeting. You can see a nervousness and excitement in her almond eyes with long curly eyelashes.. Her round eyebrows fainted brown made her smooth white forehead paler. Her small pointed nose crunched a little. Her small fair thick lips with rosy red lipstick pouted. Her small hands kept clutching and straightening the hem of her black blouse. She also smoothened the creases on her pitted black skirt. She majored Mathematics and Information Security Analyst. She loves dealing with codes and ciphers that's why she grabbed the opportunity when she heard that the police branch in their area issue a hiring notice.

There are many of them applied for the position but only two of them qualified to enter the probation period. The station transferred them to a special unit and they immediately signed a confidential contract. They will receive lots of benefits like housing, clothing and food allowances which she badly needed in her poor situation now. They will also receive $2,000 in monthly pay and $3,000 and other bonuses for regular but breaching contract means death. So the one who handled their application asked them again and again if they really want to continue signing the contract. Irish had no other choice now, she needed this highly paid job. Since living on her own without the support of the clan, she experienced greater hardship than before.

The police woman escorted them in a remote room in the underground of the station. Coming inside the room, a shivers travel from the tip of her fingers down her spine. There is two people inside the room. A tall and handsome man with an almost bloodless face looked at them. He exudes coldness and a don't come near me vibes. His black hair was neatly combed. His deep-seated eyes stared at her as if seeing her soul and deep secrets. His straight eyebrows knitted and he fixed the eyeglasses to the bridges of his tall and proud nose. His pair of thin pinkish lips formed a line which seems irritated. His square jaws clenched and she heard a loud sound of someone clearing her throat.

"Ahem." The policewoman cleared her throat to attract the attention of the two woman in trance.

The woman in red blouse blushed hard and she shyly tucked her hair in her ears. She also cleared her throat to regain composure. Irish reacted a little slower still seems in a trance. She turned her eyes around the room and seeing the policewoman in deep frowned and giving her a hard glare made her stand straight and cleared her mind.

"Are you sure, Lynna, this two easily flustered and unfocused women were people the headquarters send to assist us? They seems unprofessional to me." The man in eyeglasses said while deeply frowning.

"Easy Albert, they are just shocked in our handsomeness. Right girls?" The man beside the one called Albert said. This one is a bit narcissistic.

"Right, right." Irish said jokingly to ease the awkward atmosphere inside the room. Even though her ears and face is a little hot, she tried to be as professional as she could.

"I'm Irish Gomez and you call me 'Rish' if you like." She introduced herself and extended her hands to make a handshake.

"I'm Arthur Yap, Art for short." The man shake her hands. You can said that this man loves to laugh and smile base on the happy lines on his handsome face. He is the complete opposite of the man beside him.

"How about this gorgeous lady in red? What's your name beauty?" Arthur said like a hooligan which make them laughed.

The woman in red blouse and black skirt extend her fair white hands and shook hands with Arthur. Her small face with small dimples shows a shy smile. Her peach eyes with long eyelashes can capture your soul. Her small nose perfectly fit her small face.

"Hi, my name is Aliyah Cruz and just called me Ali." She also tried to extend her hand to the other man but he just ignore it. She take back her hands embarrassed by the action of the man.

The man stand up and just leave the files on the table.

"Study this files and tell me what you think tomorrow." After he said that he opened the door and leave the room, giving them a cold back.

The remaining people looked at each other and Arthur scratched the back of his head and said, "That's our Team Leader, Albert Simon. He is always like that so ladies don't mind him."

They just shrugged their shoulder and smile. Arthur gave them a copy of the files and asked them to go home and study.
