Just Here For The Paycheck

Chapter 2 | Scary lady

O P H E L I A

"You have no right whatsoever to give me half what you promised " I demanded "you said 300 why on earth are you giving me 250 I did bring him back did I??"
I looked at the lieutenant in disgust his name was L. Marshall Cai he always pulls some shit like this and it's starting to really get on my nerves but I can't quit since this is the only job that lasted more then a month,

He looked at me with a look that said what the hell and said
" he is in a coma in the hospital with a two stabs in his leg he's BARLEY alive how do you have the nerve to call him alive his girlfriend is demanding to put you behind bars Ophelia come on be reasonable",
Who the fuck does he think he is I thought
I yelled
"he robbed from a homeless man marshall HOMELESS MAN he stole all that the poor man got I should've killed him while I was at it"
"its Lieutenant Marshall for you don't call me that if you want to keep this job"
he said in a low but very serious tone I stormed out and headed home straight away because I value my job and I tend to keep it and if I stayed there any longer I might lose it.
I got home and opened the door with so much force Coraline ran to me bc she thought I was hurt
"Lia what's wrong did anything happen" she asked with pure concern
"yes marshall happened" "what did he do this time"she asked
"he got mad at me how I stabbed a guy who stole from a homeless man who was barley getting by as it is"I screamed
"Well what happened next"
"I left because I got to pay rent somehow"
She came closer and hugged me and said
" don't be mad you did the right thing I'm sure he'll be back to his senses in no time"
Damn it,Coraline really has some healing potion with her hugs it was well needed.

2 days later

"OPHELIA" Caroline yelled from across the house "marshall is calling"
"hang up I'll call him in a sec"
I finished my shower and got out and called him "Yo lieutenant Marshall you called whatsupp" his voice was low I could barely hear anything
"I have a job but this time I want you to watch someone for me because we're still not sure he's the guy we're looking for" he added
"yeah sure be down in a sec where do you want me to go"
" go on 24th like street there's a café, he should be sitting there I'll send you the info" I replied
" on it".

I went down to the Café as he requested and saw the guy I took the stool thats beside him and ordered an espresso, so I don't make any suspension I got my laptop with me,
Almost an hour has passed and he picked his stuff up and was leaving so the moment he left I payed and as I was leaving a tall blond bumped into me and spilled pipping hot coffee on me
"what the fuck dude" I blurted
"Damn calm down scary woman I'll bring the napkins" the unknown man said
" too late I need to go now" the blond man made a disapproval sound and hissed "Nein Nein I have to help you since I was the one to spill the coffee my bad" he chuckled,
"your German?"
"Yes I see you know a thing or two about German "
I looked him dead in the eye and said
"Wenn die Definition von ein oder zwei Dingen darin besteht, sie fließend zu beherrschen, dann weiß ich ja ein oder zwei Dinge"
(If the definition of a thing or two is being fluent in them, then yes i do know a thing or two)
"Wow the scary lady knows how to speak German I'm impressed" he said excited " I'm Grayson and you are?" "and I need to go" and I left him with his puppy looking face, hair of gold, his electric ocean blue eyes and his 6ft self looking at me while having a giggle to himself.

"Well now that I lost the guy, spilled coffee on my favorite black sweater I'm stranded what am I supposed to do now" I thought to myself making my way home since I was tierd and annoyed,
Lucky for me the guy turns out to not be the guy we're looking for and that I shouldn't be guilty of letting him go, But that blond Grayson guy had to ruin it for me I wish I could've actually said something just to make the fire a bit bigger.

I made my way to my house and put my keys in and when I opened the door I found Coraline blasting music dancing like a freak I didn't make any sound and made sure to get the best part on camera when she turns around she stops and freezes I softly say
"c'mon I've seen way worse and come to think of it I have a video for your future wedding" I laugh and went inside I heard a loud
"FUCK YOU OPHELIA WINSTON " I bursted into laughter and screamed
"I LOVE YOU TOO SWEET SWEET CORA "after that I can clearly hear Caroline laughed just as hard as I did.
