"What do you mean you can't finish it in time?!" Shouted Artemis, to her phone.
"I'm sorry Miss Crock, but my whole teams caught the flu and theirs still 15 pages to do. I'm sorry." Cried Zatanna, over the phone. The two of them had joined the same manga company, and somehow Artemis ended up being her editor.

Artemis pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.
"It's fine Zatanna, I'll just.....how about I come help you. All my works done." She said, jumping out her seat and grabbing her bag and coat.
"Would you! Thank you Artemis, I really owe you." Said Zatanna, her voice sounding excited.

"Yeah, I'll be over in about...45 minutes, if I catch the train, that leaves in 10 minutes." She said looking at her watch, and leaving her department, and running to the elevator. She was to busy packing her things, to notice two people coming through the door, before it was too late. As they collided, all Artemis' papers fell out of her bag and sprawled out across the floor.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I was in a rush, I didn't see-" she stopped mid-sentence, to see her boss and someone she had never seen before.
"Gah, Mister West! I'm really sorry I'm on my way to help an author. Please excuse me." She said, quickly picking up her papers and running, unaware that she left one very important paper.

As she ran down the street to the train station, she wondered who the man with her Boss was.
'And why was his face familiar?' She thought. With the two men, they stared in shock, then Mister West let out a small chuckle.
"Always leave it to her, to make your day more exciting." He said, and turned to the other man.

"So, Mister Tanako, how are you enjoying your first day?" He asked.
But all Tanako did was stare at where the woman had once been, and then he noticed the piece of paper. He slowly picked it up and began to read in his head.
'I'm here at the library again, I just don't know why I'm doing this, but I don't understand it either. Am I
in love or am I just stalking him? All I know is that he sits there every day, and reads. Maybe I'm just crazy or something. Well that's all for now.
Artemis out '

"Mister Tanako?" He asked, and Tanako snapped out of hiss daze.
"Yes, let's continue." He said, all the while one thing ran through his mind.
'Artemis, I know that name.' But he couldn't put his finger on it.
"And here is your department, the manga editor department. And your boss is Artemis Crock."

(A/N) Sorry it's short, first time writing. And if you don't know the characters, well that's just to bad.
Next chapter will be longer.
