Hi, my name's Lucy Carlyle. I'm a psychic detective agent at Lockwood & Co, the other agents are: Anthony Lockwood the founder of Lockwood & Co, and George Cubbins. One thing I probably should tell you is that we're not a normal psychic agency for example we have a 4th agent/housekeeper and a skull in a jar that makes nasty comments, we might be unusual but we're the best agency, at least in my slightly biased opinion. Now on with the story.

"She's sleeping we shouldn't wake her," I hear a voice that sounds like Lockwood interrupt my sleep. "Yeah well she'd wake us up! And I'm not carrying her!" George says I groan groggily "no need I'm up." I'm leaned against Lockwood with my head on his shoulder "sorry!" I mutter to him my face turning slightly red, another thing I probably should have mentioned, I have a slight-huge- crush on Lockwood.

Lockwood smiles at me "it's fine Luce," he says then turns to George "we're almost home, what time is it?" He asks "a little after 6:00 in the morning." George says yawning. The cab pulls up and we all get out and grab our duffels, Lockwood pays the cabbie and we head in I take my coat off and haphazardly throw it on the hook then drop my duffel and kick it by the door, nearly tripping George as he hurries to the kitchen.

"night Lockwood. Night George." I call Lockwood turns and smiles at me "goodnight Lucy. And good job with that Raw Bones, you executed that warding knot perfectly!" He tells me his dark eyes gleaming in the dim lighting. George pokes his head around the corner and he takes a bite of a donut "night Lucy. Lockwood we need more jelly filled donuts." He tells us I roll my eyes and walk upstairs grabbing my backpack from the landing as George and Lockwood argue over wether jelly or creme filled donuts are better.

"You seem especially happy tonight." A sinister voice calls from my backpack "after spending so much time with your boyfriend-" the Skull is cut off "Lockwood isn't my boyfriend!" Lucy huffs "I never said he was, you were so quick to assume Lockwood almost like you WANT him be your boyfriend!" Lucy quickly shuts the stopper 'oh great now the skull knows' Lucy thinks 'well atleast he can't tell anyone. Right?'

Lucy stifles a yawn, deciding that can wait she changes into pajamas and crawls into bed. Soon the darkness and George's snores lull her to sleep.

"Lucy! George!" Lockwood calls waking Lucy his voice sounded distant "quick outside!" Lucy hops up and runs down the stairs tugging on her boots as she goes she sees George come out of his room, together they run down the remaining staircase and without a glance Lucy grabs her coat and tugs it on. She runs out the door, right behind George. Lockwood is surrounded by reporters "...that you took down ten cold maidens and-" a reporter was saying she abruptly cuts herself off and stares at Lucy and George.

Lockwood turns around he stares at Lucy slightly to long "ah, yes" Lockwood stumbles clearing his throat "here are my associates, George Cubbins and Lucy Carlyle. What were you saying miss...?" Lockwood directs the last part at the reporter who was talking when George and I arrived. "Dale, Linsey Dale. And I was saying..." The reporter Linsey says. A short black haired lady walks up to me "Hi, I'm with the Pennington Times and I was wondering if you had any comment on..." And so went the next few hours till finally a gentleman in a brown suit walks up to me "hi, my names Renaldo Green, I'm with the Smithson paper. I was wondering if you'd tell us about yourself, miss Carlyle." I smile "sure, ask way." I say having done this twice now. "Tell me about your coat, how did you get those claw marks? And if I'm not mistaken it looks a bit like the one Mr. Lockwood wears am I correct?" I look down and see that I'm wearing Lockwoods coat, I realized I must have grabbed his in my haste! "Oh! This is Lockwoods coat, I was in a rush out the door I must have grabbed the wrong coat." I say laughing it off as though it's nothing.

I'm aware of the nearby reporters listening in and Renaldo Green writing rapidly on his notepad. "Does mix ups like this happen often?" Renaldo asks gesturing to Lockwoods coat. "Er...no...not that often, why?" I stutter "thank you for your time miss Carlyle." The man says standing up "good day." Then he leaves. "I think that's plenty of questions for now. Thank you." Lockwood says motioning George and I to follow him as he walks into 35 Portland row. I practically run with George close on my heels.

As soon as the front door closes George starts complaining about not eating for hours and how horribly this will affect his health. "...I'm going to die young, and what will you all do without me? And then-" George rants "GEORGE! Your not going to die from missing one meal, the only thing that will make your health suffer is if you keep complaining!" I snap holing my fist up threateningly. Lockwood walks over " let's just eat lunch and stop bickering please we're all tired!" George huffs but goes to his room muttering something about getting dressed.

I walk to he front door area and slip off Lockwoods coat and hang it back up. Wondering about the news reporters and what their story would be about, I didn't have to wait long as I came down stairs the next day I see George and Lockwood reading the paper "oh, is their anything about Lockwood & Co?" I ask George grits his teeth "look for yourself." He replies I pick up a newspaper and turn to the second page:

Lockwood & co lovers?

It seems the esteemed Anthony Lockwood the founder of Lockwood and co has found love at last, with who else then the gifted listener Lucy Carlyle. She was seen wearing his coat and a direct quote from Lockwood himself about it states " does it matter Lucy and I are friends nothing more. A mere coincidence that she grabbed my coat..." But when he looks at her it tells a different story, next week we will be interviewing George Cubbins as he states "they would be so cute together! I can't wait for it to happen!"

I glance at Lockwood "at least it's only one paper, right?" I say and Lockwood hands me his and a few others "wrong it's all of these."he says as George picks up the one I read. I open the first paper:

Lockwood gets a girl!

The most sought after bachelor Anthony Lockwood finally picks a girl! Sorry lady' s but his heart has been stolen by a co worker named Lucy Carlyle. He and her have allegedly been together for some months and are now coming out as Lucy is seen publicly kissing Lockwood!

I look at the photo on the next page it was grainy and all you could make out was a blond haired girl kissing a dark haired boy. I grab the next paper.

Lucy Carlyle love triangle?

Lucy Carlyle has won the affection of both her colleagues, George Cubbins and the dashing Anthony Lockwood, she has yet to decide who she likes and sadly lets both boys continue hoping of winning her heart Lucy Carlyle admits "I love working at Lockwood and co, everyday is a new adventure and I get to work with my friends." Clearly miss Carlyle has no wish to date either of them but continues leading them on. We hope next time Mr. Lockwood gives his heart out he picks carefully.

My jaw drops I quickly grab the next paper

Romance at 35 Portland row?

Lucy Carlyle and Anthony Lockwood have been dating for quite some time and are now going public about their relationship when questioned about Lockwood Lucy states " Lockwood? He's great, he's a very good leader very calm in stressful and dangerous situations...no I don't think he's dating anyone why?...oh, um it's fun living at Portland row...three things I like most about Lockwood? Um, he's a great leader and he..um..always knows what to do in hopeless situations and...he..is very patient..."

I drop the papers "they twisted our words!" I say quietly Lockwood nods. "Did you mean what you said about me being a great leader?" Lockwood asks me suddenly I look at him "of course!" I way and we lean closer just as our lips nearly touch- "Hey! You know I'm still here right?" We turn and see George messing with the skull jar the lever turns slightly and a voice creeps towards me "what happened between you and locky while I was gone? You two seem close!" The skull asks

A/N

Disclaimer: if I owned Lockwood and co Lucy and Lockwood would get together in the first book. Did they? No!

hi guys it's been a while since my first story and I thought I'd write about one of my favorite book series and the idea of Lucy in Lockwoods coat came to me so expect more of that! Please review if you liked it (or I guess even if you didn't like it it's not like I could stop you!) I'd really appreciate it. THANKS FOR READING!
