Walking through the sliding doors taking in the décoré and ambiance the room gave off it felt like it was set up to be like a police station. Or a very modernised version of a police station. Shaking his head he follows his friend to the front desk. While there the lady points them to the door just a few feet away, he looks to the glass that reads “Doris”. Nodding his head he heads over towards the door and stops in front. Before knocking he just barely hears a robotic voice say “fuck” repeatedly before it stops once he knocks, waiting for a response before he even dares to open the door standing next to Kalvin.

Kalvin stood beside his friend with a huge grin on his face. He might have been bouncing a little as he listened to the robotic 'FUCK' quiet down. When Dean knocked on the door, he swore his smile got just a little bit feral. When he heard the muffled groan from behind the door, without warning he garbed the handle and threw the door open with a bang. The room was probably a decent size but between the desk, filing cabinmates, guest chairs, and the mountain of papers it appeared cramped. Behind the desk was a deaccent looking woman with sharp features, brown hair in a ponytail, and what looked to be a plan outfit. Most importantly was the furry that was on her face as she looked up to see Kalvin.
"Kalvin you piece of shit! What the fuck are you doing here?" Doris' voice was loud and gruff as she yelled this in response to the unexpected visitor.
"Doris!" Kalvin yelled, "I've brought you the answer to your prayers." He looked at her with a wide grin and then motioned to Dean next to him.
Doris turned and looked at the new guest in her territory.

Deans eyes quickly looked around the room taking in the dimensions and take in the mounds of papers. He would look to the tired woman and could smell the lack of sleep from the woman. As she looked him up and down he would give a big toothy smile, hand over his still heart and gave a slight bow as if he was meeting a prince.
“Ahhh thank you for having me this fine night. A new person must never meet a head without a gift.” As he reached into his bag and pulled out a bottle of wine from before the depression he puts it down on her desk in a clear spot. “Pleasure to meet you madam, my name Is Dean Johnson and according to Kalvin here I’m the answer to your prayers?” He would tilt his head at the statement but goes along with it.

At his little bow, Doris narrowed her eyes. The whole point of this city was to have a safe place away from the political bull. Though the respect this 'Dean' was showing was better then what the moron next to him subjected her to. Doris looked to Kalvin who was still grinning like a mutt who had brought back a ball for her to throw. She looked back at this Dean fella with a calculating stair. Just studying him, Doris' could practically smell the beast hiding under his skin.
"Cut that crap out," Doris snapped, "We aint those Camarilla pompous dicks." At that Kalvin started laughing out loud as he walked to one of the two chairs in the 'guest' position. He was obviously enjoying himself. Doris gave him the one handed salute and looked back to the new guy. "Put that where ever and sit down."

Dean wound nod his head, “sorry about that been in camarilla territory for a bit longer than I expected, bad habits die hard y’a know?” He sat down next to Kalvin. “Once again thank you for having me. Now I get the impression you don’t care for bullshit and waisting time. So I’ll cut to the chase. I’m looking for work and a place to stay and thought what better place than with an old battle buddy of mine.” Dean states looking over at how Kalvin is acting shaking his head with a smile to his old friends antics.

Doris sighed as the though 'Dear god they're friends' crossed her mind. She looked back at Kalvin, she was surprised that while he was still smiling like an idiot, his eyes had now turn serious. He pissed her off but she still trusted his honest input, when he was being honest that is.
She looked back to Dean, studying his as best as she could. Doris was trying to think of what she could possibly need that this stranger was a -answer to her prayers-. She sat up straight and putted on the façade of 'I'm in charge'.
"So," she started, "what exactly do you do?"

“Well I do a lot. I’m military trained, I can punch and kick hard. I’m trained with multiple weapons. But my pride and joy is my skill with computers and technology. I do stream from time to time on twitch and have a decent following as people find me interesting somehow.” Dean states off his list of abilities and turns his head a look of thought and a little hint of pride at his list of current and past accomplishments. “Oh I almost forgot I’m a fast swimmer and good with animals. Also I’m a believer in the Navajo Native beliefs.

Doris rolls her eyes at the mention of fighting. If he's friends with Dumbass then she didn't even have to worry about battle abilities. But, at the mention of computer skills she raised her eyebrows in intrigue. Currently she was outsourcing for someone to deal with those evil boxes and it costs a pretty penny. Though the rest he said was pure gibberish.
"We are a security and detective agency. While fighting is nice we have more then enough brats out in the field," Doris pointed out. "But you can uses those piece of shit mumbo jumbo?'
Kalvin snickered at that and looked to Dean. "Doris hates anything to do with tech. I've literally seen her look at a burnt out bulb and just walk away to work in another room." Kalvin pointed this out with absolute glee. Doris snapped back with a vicious 'Fuck You" before turning back to Dean.

“Why yes I’m quite good with computers. I spent years learning how to run them and code for them. My sire thought it would be a good skill for the future wars being fought but then he settled down with his pack. But that’s off the topic. Yes I’m good with computers and it looks like you could use someone to help out?” He kind of questions as he looks around at the massive piles of paperwork around the three of them.

Doris points at Dean, "What can you do? Can you do that 'hacking' stuff?" Doris says this all with a hint of disgusts. "I got contacts that do that stuff but they charge an arm and a leg." She then waves a hand in dismissal continuing with "You wont have to do any of the major stuff, but every day basics."

Dean would pull out his laptop at the mention of hacking smiling wide as he began typing away at the keys. After a few minuets he closes the laptop and holds up his hand and puts down a finger at a time as if counting down. After putting down his last finger Kalvin gets a call, “Hey Kalvin mind putting it on speaker once you answer?” He would ask. Kalvin answers and puts it on speaker and never gonna give you up starts playing on the other end. “I hope that helps prove what I can do.” Dean states looking to Doris with a hopeful/pleased look.

Doris sighed in relief and looked at Kalvin. "Finally you bring me something useful," she says. Looking back at Dean she points at the bullshit box, "You, lets talk pay," she said with absolute authority.
Doris looks back at Kalvin with relief. "At least we don't have to do the whole Baron introduction."
Kalvin looked at her confused until he realized she thought Dean was one of theirs. Instead of correcting her he just sat there with a satisfied smile.

Dean wound smile for the fact he impressed Doris. Thinking for a bit he would look Doris in the eyes, “what’s your average pay for jobs that you have your sources do?” He would ask curious just to see what these bloodsuckers were charging her. “Also Baron introduction? Kalvin said something about having to meet a woman who doesn’t take shit or clothing?” He says this a bit confused as he continues to think of his friends statement.

Doris mumbles a quiet too much before staring at Dean. Then she looks at Kalvin taking in his grin and back to Dean. Her eyes narrow. "You ain't one of us?"
Kalvin chimes in with a cheeky "Nope, he's Baba's problem."

“I mean I’m Kindred but no I thought my teeth would give away what I am to you.” He’d state and open his mouth to show his teeth are pointed like a sharks teeth. “But I guess if they don’t prove it then I guess I’ve done a good job at blending in.”
