Ryan waved to his new acquaintance as his group of friends surrounded him, he shook his head not quite understanding what the big deal was before pulling out his cell. "Uhh.. hello yes, This is Ryan Favor with 'Favors for the Dead', yes I'm calling about your appointment on Tuesday are we still.... yes... yes no problem I understand. Yes, okay thank you." The man slammed his fist into the table letting out disgruntled mumbling mixed with cursing. He turned to find the bartender watching him amused by his frustration. "What is it Sandra, here to give me a hard time about giving into frustration again? Its been a month and I still haven't got a lead, If I can't find a big job soon then.."
The raven haired woman slid next to Ryan in the booth, making him feel a little uncomfortable. She was gorgeous by any normal persons standards easily, finding out that Ryan wasn't interested in sex in any way gave her more reason to flirt with the man, watching his awkward reactions always made her laugh. "Oh relax, I'm only this close to you because I care about you more than the average patron and know you've been having a hard time... which is why, I have a huge job for you. I'm friends with the CEO of a major company, he's having some, problems I think you'd be the perfect fit for." Ryan eyed the woman suspiciously as she leaned in whispering something seductively into his ear. "Are you serious? They want to hire me? That would give me enough attention that I could start taking serious clients!" She giggled at Ryan's change in attitude planting a kiss above the mans eye who almost seemed to be in tears from her news. "Now listen I'm putting MY name out there for you, if you fuck this up it effects me too alright? I hear that the spirit is extremely malevolent and has caused some serious 'accidents' which may have resulted in death, so it needs to be dealt with. Just speak with them when you have the chance they'll set up a time." Ryan latched to the woman who seemed surprised at how clingy a happy human could be. "This means so much, I could kiss you right now I'm so grateful" The woman pushed him away laughing as she picked up his empty drinks and headed back behind the bartop. "Kissing's only fun if you're into it dear, now go home and make sure you let me know how it all ends up!"

Karla watched Hannabelle wander the campus from the library windows, she intrigued by the girl. She felt drawn to her for some reason, she had even lost sleep with her haunting her dreams, whispering sweet promises into her ear. "Maybe she hasn't called because she's been so stressed.. I should try to help her out a little, I'd appreciate that if I were stuck in this kind of routine everyday."
The woman sighed, some out of boredom and some out of sheer loneliness it was odd being in a school and not socializing with anybody, though at the moment only the one girl had peaked her interest there were surely other students who would be intriguing in some regard to her.
The tips of her fingernails glowed with her green energy as she used her magic to listen into the girls conversation with the reptilian. It was subtle enough that nobody would ever be able to make it out, concealing her magick was probably Karla's best talent, next to using her powers outright in the open which scarcely happened.
Karla made her way to the snakeman after she was sure Hannabelle had left before entering the shop. "Excuse me, Vert? That girl, with the red hair trying to buy parts for her bike, I'd like to purchase the top quality parts she needs and pay for the labor as well to have it fixed. The price doesn't concern me as long as it seems fair I have the funds on me right now if you'd like it upfront. If she asks who did it, keep it exciting only give my hair color.. or something!" Karla's eyes sparkled in excitement of the deed, doing good things for people felt nice despite what her mentors had tried drilling in her head.

Ryan sat at his dining room table eyeing the number on his phone before taking a deep breath and hitting the call button. He waited a few moments after a couple of rings a voice answered him on the other side.
"Yes, this is Ryan Favor, I was told you would have a job for me?" Ryan's eyes grew wide in shock hearing the voice on the other side confirm the job Sandra had set up for him.
"Yes!! I can come over tomorrow morning for a first inspection, after that I will perform the cleansing to rid your business of the spirit. Can you just tell me some of its behavior, what kind of activity do you have at the moment? Ryan's excitement diminished almost as quickly as it came as he acknowledged the voice on the otherside of the phonecall. His tone took a more serious tone as he wrote a few notes and pulled out a notebook. "Oh, no.. I can definitely do it.. its just.. well you should have dealt with this before it got that bad. It's no problem though I'll handle it. I'll see you tomorrow for the inspection thank you."
Ryan stared at his own notes with concern building in his eyes, as he scrounged the room for all his research books and notes. He flipped through page after page highlighting certain passages and words knowing that sleep would not be possible this night after all for him.
