Night at the Museum
My first shot at a story for this wonderful film series that I have been enjoying again. This first chapter may be short but it's just to start things off. Story line will eventually follow the first film. Here's hoping you enjoy~

"Well… it seems you've had quite a few security jobs…" he paused to scan over the paper. "Most recent, uh… two years at the Smithsonian Museum over in Washington."
"That's right, sir."
The woman sitting across from him was relatively young. Twenty two, according to the resume he held in his hand. He looked upon her. She was a stunning woman, tall and slim with milky skin. Her long raven hair cascaded past her shoulders, falling over like a curtain. And her eyes, possibly the lightest shade of blue he had ever seen, so clear and cerulean, as if he were looking into the richest ocean. Very beautiful. Now, he may be an elder man but that didn't mean he couldn't admire an attractive woman when he saw one.
He set the file of paperwork on the desk with a small sigh. "You seem to meet all of the credentials and your experience shows you're more than qualified." His tone told he was enthralled. She wrung her skirt in her hands in an anxious manner. "Does this mean I got the job?"
He sat in silence in which her small smile faltered. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come off as ambitious." The elderly white haired night guard chuckled. "No, no. That's quite alright." He stood slowly from his seat and reached over the desk for a handshake. "Welcome aboard, Miss Daley."
Her expression brightened, her smile cheerful as she frantically stood in tow with him. She took his outstretched hand. "Thank you, Mr. Fredericks!" He waved her off with a smile and a hoarse laugh. "Oh, please, Mr. Fredericks was my father. I am Cecil."
She repeated his name warmly, adding a, "Call me Sam."
"Welcome aboard then, Sam" Cecil said as he set his hand on her shoulder. "Now, why don't I introduce you to the rest of the family?"
