A Queen Without a Kingdom

  "Well. I found some things. I approached L about one case, but there is this other one,” P sighed and looked around to make sure they were alone. 

B also did a double take and made sure no one was snooping before taking a peek at the paper. When she did, she let out a small guffaw. "Somehow that claim doesn't surprise me. Mostly because it really does happen in select places, but it's not usually listened to. All that superstition and stuff. Certainly worth a look."

       Their transactions were about as operative as a debiliated baby deer. Jay was fueled by her heightened responses, and B always attempted to minimize her backlash. “Nine inches?” the senior agent gasped in mock arousal. “I may need a moment alone with myself— in the privacy of a bathroom stall.”

      It took a fair amount of will power not to roll her eyes at him again. No, if she was going to be a good enough agent, she had to show a little willpower and not punch him in the maw. "Yes, do enjoy yourself. I've heard boys enjoy doing that sort of thing." She snorted, going back to her paperwork.

"Hmm, we’ll see if my kind needs stuff like that," Levi replied with a weak smile, trying to at least keep eye contact. He was resisting the urge to look down at the papers again. He’d have to get to used to this place at some point. Why not start with one person at a time? "But I don’t think I’d ever get used to that bitter taste. Don’t know how dad could drink that stuff every morning."

"Yeah, it's kind of bitter. You have to let the taste grow on you. I preferred tea before this but that stuff tends to have an affect on certain species so... I can't consume that stuff here." Which was of no consequence to Be, really. She drank it at home where she was comfortable and alone. There was no better way for her to enjoy it.

P looked at Agent B and smiled, “It’s just coffee… As far as I can tell. I think it’s safe. If I start to grow gills or something, I’ll let you know.”

"Can do," laughed the other with a hand to her chest. What a relief. Her first few days here, she had to quickly determine what not to consume or else face some rather severe health issues.

     He couldn’t help but let a soft smile break across his face as she rose to her feet, hand to her heart giving him a pledge to her cause. “Well then, looks like I better not forget to put in a word for you then,” Agent D exclaimed, licking his lips, “I’d hate to miss out on this piece of pie.”

      Out of habit, the former socialite winked as she sat back down. "And I'd hate for you to miss it too. Such a tragedy it would be!" B said with mock horror.
