---- Chapter 3: KAT I'm extremely nervous. It's my first day on the job and already I'm dreading it. The work shouldn't be a problem. I'm kinda smart, so taking orders and putting them into a computer spread sheet should be easy enough, but Jared hadn't told me his boss was so...male. Then again Jared doesn't know my little secret, no one does. "Kat, you sure you want to do this so soon. Why don't you give yourself some time?" "It's okay, dad, | need to stay busy. Don't worry about me, Jared will be there, so I'll be fine." "If you're sure, | just don't want you to think you have to work. | can give you an allowance until you decide what you want to do." "Thanks, dad, that's sweet, but I'm cool. Now eat your breakfast and get to work." ---- "Yes ma'am, you know you don't have to do this everyday. | can always grab a bite at the diner on the way." "It's no trouble, dad, stop worrying." "So, how's this new boss of yours, he seem like a nice guy?" | took my time answering. | knew because of what had happened in Arizona everyone felt they had to shield me from everything, but | didn't want them to. | was wounded yes, but not broken, and | fought very hard not to be that person. "He seems nice enough, dad, it's just answering phones and keeping track of supplies and stuff like that, no biggie." "| could probably get you on part time down at the station as a filing clerk or something, just for the summer, until..." "Dad, I'm fine, so stop worrying about me. I'm okay, | promise." ---- "Okay, Kat, I'll back off, but if things change, then you let me know right away." "Okay, dad." | kissed his cheek as | heard Jared outside. "You tell that scamp to be careful with you on that death trap, or I'll have his hide." "Yes sir.' | left the house before he locked me in my room to keep me safe from the big bad world. "Hey, Jared." "Morning, Kat, you ready?" "As I'll ever be." | climbed on the back of his custom made bike, and the legs of my baggy trousers almost covering my ballet flats. | loved the feel of the wind on my face as it rushed by, the freedom | felt on the back of a bike; it felt like | could just fly away from it all.
