Staring out the window watching Cole saunter across the grounds she was taken back to that fateful interview…

Kaylee let Cole open the door and she got in. It was nice to see that he had thought to roll the windows down as she pointed out the property line. Not to mention the cameras.[color=PaleVioletRed] “So St John tell me about your qualifications.”[/color]

Kaylee turned to gaze at Cole's profile admiring his features. He was good looking and wondered if he was a good fit for the school. She smiled absently as she thought about how many of the girls would have a crush on him. He seemed pretty put together and a gentleman so she had to be sure to ask if he would be bringing on a girlfriend or anything like that. Kaylee blushed and focused her attention back to him.

Cole knew as he turned the key that he had forgotten to switch off the radio as was his usual custom and wasn’t expecting someone else to be in the car. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deB_u-to-IE]A song[/url] blinked over the dash and was silenced as his hand moved and spun the volume knob. “I’ve been working as a PI here in LA for several years now.” He said driving along the perimeter line and taking in the layout of the campus noting the continuing theme save for one large building beyond the track and field complex. “That binder on the floorboard contains copies of the information I sent you along with my CV and some others.” He said with a small nod towards the bag that was now at her feet. “This town rarely ever disappoints,” He continued catching a glimpse of her blush and smirking a little surprised at the apparent, natural chemistry between them that was absent when he spoke with her on the phone. “I’ve been looking to expand my business and I thought I would give you a call and see where it led.” His gaze again looked to the one large windowless building that was distinctly modern in appearance. “Seems like you have a pretty interesting operation here.”

Kaylee nodded and as he indicated the files she picked them up. Skimming them she recognized them from the faxes she had received from him. Pleased that he wasn't hedging his bets she closed the file as he commented on the operation of the school. Smiling at his up front attitude she pointed at the windowless building.[color=palevioletred] “That would be the off site storage unit. You're qualifications are excellent as well as your letters of reference, but you knew that already. Tell me why a PI, Coleman. What drew you to this job? That is if you don't mind me calling you by your first name. If so I apologize.”[/color]

This was the first time in a long time that she'd actually been attracted to someone instantly. She'd liked him over the phone but he was even better in person. Normally she had to get to know the guy but this one...totally different. She had a feeling she'd be stacking up anyone else to this one and they'd all come away lacking comparatively.

They rounded the large building that Kaylee felt compelled to describe as the “offsite storage unit” and Cole resisted the urge to glance back at her and merely kept driving. [i]Looks to be pretty ‘on site’ to me.[/i] He thought to himself keeping his expression professional while she spoke and the gravel of the outer perimeter road crunched under the tires. The building was obviously of reinforced construction and had a purposed, slightly angular profile that he had seen before like it was meant to deflect or hold things [i]within[/i]. [i]What are they storing in there? Depleted Uranium?[/i] They turned the far corner of the large building and the back of the main campus returned to view. “Just Cole is fine,” He said answering her question. “And I don’t mind.” He thought about her next question briefly, seeing the gate that led to the back of the main Hall coming up and where he was going to stop whether she wanted to or not. “If we’re going to be candid, I think the main reason is [i]curiosity[/i].” He said stopping slowly in front of the gate and looking over at her. If she was going to get out and end the interview at least she wouldn’t have to walk very far back to her office. “Ma’am I’m not the sharpest ever, but I know for a fact that building back there is not a storage unit.” He said matter-of-factly catching her eyes and trying to only let his expression harden into qualified concern. “Look, if you don’t want to tell me everything up front, that’s fine I understand, but you don’t have to lie to me.” Partly expecting her to get out and end the interview he moved the shifter into park triggering the automatic door locks to disengage. “Just tell me what you need me to do and I’ll tell you if you’ve got the right man for the job.”

Kaylee blinked at him blushing a tiny bit caught in a lie.[color=palevioletred] “I need you to be able to protect about 30 students that range from 10 to early twenties from malicious intent. I need you to be able to access a situation quickly and efficiently knowing how to make the most of it in your, our, favor. And most of all I need you to be able to keep a very large secret. No you’re right that isn’t a storage unit. Dr Ashford is still a doctor and he likes to putter. He has a lab that he works on things for a Pharmaceutical company. The door is biometrically keyed to him. Only he can let you in. Now if you’re up to the task then I suggest we move the rest of this interview inside. It’s much easier to sign a contract and negotiate pay once you have a full understanding of what is going on here. And yes I promise I will be completely forthcoming if you take the job. I have a lot of students to think about before I start handing out secrets willy nilly. Oh and Cole whether or not you take the job it’s Kaylee, please.”[/color] Kaylee smiled at him. She really hoped he’d take the job. She’d be seeing a lot of him then. If he didn’t she had every intention of asking him to dinner anyway, but she doubted that anyone more perfect would walk through the door. Perfect for the job, she told herself. Fibbed to herself.

Snapping back to reality from a month ago Kaylee smiled and cleared off her desk in anticipation that Cole would be coming up to her office. It was a hope, a pretty solid one, that he was coming up for a coffee and a chat. It had become a routine for them. She got done with classes and they had a coffee and talk about random things. Then he’d go home. She wished he’d taken the offer of living on campus but it was his choice and she still got to see him daily.

Kaylee brewed a pot and waited for Cole to come on up.
