Case One:

"Oi! Watch where ya goin' mate!" Lily exclaimed at the man who walked past while bumping into her. Still overly jet lagged, everything she was carrying fell onto the wet pavement causing all the paper to soon become a pile of wet, muggy, mulch. She sighed as she bent down and picked it up. All the work she put into the resume was now destroyed and unable to be used.

I can't bloody show it to them now…

Lily straightened up and continued walking over to the looming glass building with a triangular sign yielding the name, "New Scotland Yard." She was dressed in long fitted jet black work pants and a tight blouse that fit her well. Lily's naturally ginger hair was pulled back into a tight bun allowing her green eyes to stand out from her relatively normal features.

She walked into the building being directed immediately towards the elevator. She stepped in and pressed the button for floor 13, the homicide department. The double doors opened to find a chaotic intervention happening beyond.

"Please could you all calm down. We are here to discuss an urgent matter that could affect everyone's jobs. As you might have heard the Chinese ambassador has been found murdered in his flat five hours ago. We have reason to believe that the murder has been committed by the ambassador's work employee and we are currently trying to receive a search warrant in order to inspect the man's home for any signs of motive. He currently has no concrete alibi to support his claim of being innocent, so we plan to bring him in. That's it, if any more news come in I'll inform you all."

With that, the man who spoke turned around and went back into a glass office. Lily stood star stuck at the event that happened just before her. She wasn't used to such a busy environment in the place she used to work back in Ireland, but it seems like a good change so far. Lily stumbled forward trying to find a "Detective Inspector Lestrade" among the crowded floor, however none of the name plates accompanied that name.

"Are you looking for anything?"

Lily turned around shocked at the voice coming from behind. She stood back and examined the speaker. The speaker was a mocha skinned woman with a large amount of hair in dark tight ringlet curls. She was wearing clothes close to what Lily was wearing herself, however with a grey blazer that matched the color of her pants.

Before taking too long to answer to avoid awkwardness, Lily spoke, "Yes, I am looking for a 'Detective Lestrade', I have an interview scheduled for 10:30."

The lady looked her up and down before gesturing for Lily to follow her.

"Sergeant Sally Donovan," the lady exclaimed while walking, "but must just call me Donovan," she said looking Lily's direction and smirking. "Well here is Lestrade's office. You can just walk in."

That is all Donovan said as she stalked off into the direction she came. Lily stared at the door and knocked.

"Come in!" yelled a man's voice.

Lily stepped into the office and observed her surroundings. It was a nice office, however very traditional for an office. The center piece is what draws the attention of the eye. In the middle of the nice office was a paper cluttered desk that held no sight of the desk surface. The man leaning back into his desk chair was the same man who spoke earlier out in the main department. Lily didn't realize she stepped into the office she had seen him walk into previously. The man was a middle age individual with his silver hair being the dominant feature.

"How may I help you?" He inquired.

"Hello, I am here for an interview with Detective Lestrade for 10:30," Lily said making sure it was indeed the right day and time of the interview.

"Yes, of course, Lily Klein. Welcome, please have a seat," he said sounding like he just had an epiphany.

"Thank you," Lily replied walking over to one of the two chairs to choose from. Sitting down politely she sunk into a brown leather chair that molded to her figure. Trying to still look professional, she sat up straight.

"So you are here for the new job position as the department's translator. I've heard many things about your work previously, solving more than a couple international cases involving multiple different languages," Detective Lestrade awed at the level of Lily's skill. "Do you have the papers necessary for the transfer from An Garda Síochána to New Scotland Yard?"

Lily looked down at the folders and papers she forgot she was holding. The papers were all wet from earlier and had not dried in the most wanted fashion. Leaving her to look up to Lestrade, "I basically got off of the plane about 24 hours ago, and though it isn't that far of a flight, I didn't have any sleep since I landed. So, an accident happened outside of the police station and I managed to drop all my papers due to being disoriented. The pavement was still very wet after the recent rain storm so all my papers and transcripts are, well-" she stopped speaking and pointing down to the ball of paper on her lap.

"Oh," stated Lestrade, "I'm sure we can get in contact of your previous boss and ask them to forward a copy over so we can get it processed right away. There is no need for an official interview because we have no current translator, and due to your promotional e-mail sent from your boss, you seem over qualified for someone so young."

Lily looked up in surprise. She expected the detective to become mad or maybe lash out at such a rash action of ruining something that could cost her her job, however the reaction was just the opposite. Lily would be very pleased to have him as a new boss.

"So exactly how many languages do you know?" Lestrade asked.

"I know a total of eight languages completely, being a fluent speaker, reader and writer, which are English, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, and Russian. However I can figure out many similar languages like Dutch, Danish, Portuguese, and Turkish by using roots from other main languages. I've always had a thing for languages, I've always wanted to be able to express myself and be able to talk to people of different culture and tradition. Learning languages was the best way of assimilating to new environments, so that's what I did. Also I would be able to talk back at people without them knowing I said anything." Lily added as she smirked to herself as an old memory resurfaced.

"What do you mean you can't accept my hard proven facts and evidence to help convict the criminal!?" Lily barked in fury.

"We can't just discard the alibi that he gave us that his friends and coworkers verified. This contradicts your so called 'proof" which could lead to a larger lawsuit if we imprison and trial the wrong man," Detective Inspector Colman remarked.

"But this is the only proof we will ever find. This is hard evidence while an alibi could have been spread around using bribes!" Lily said still infuriated. "I can't just let this man walk free for the murder he committed, killing over three innocent teenagers! The letter I translated verifies everything, you can't just ignore it. I mean they found his bloody finger print on it! PROOF!"

"Keep calm, if you wont back down you'll regret it. Drop this matter, you will not change my mind," Colman said as he walked off leaving Lily by herself.

"Miststück…" Lily muttered to herself more than to anyone.

Someone next to her chuckled as she turned around, realizing he had heard her speak and understood it.

"Er ist! Ich habe viele Beweis das dieser Mörder sollte ins Gefängnis gehen!" Lily said to the man who chuckled.

"Ich verstehe das, ich glaube auch," the man remarked grinning widely at Lily. Returning the grin she walked closer to him so they weren't talking too loud and continued the conversation. The man was a friendly person who recently moved from Germany to the main police station in Dublin. Ireland. He was the same age as Lily, around 28. His name was Klaus, he was tall and skinny, but he had very handsome features. He had short blonde hair that was slightly spiked up and astonishing blue eyes that could rip through everything. The man who would soon become Lily's best friend…

"Well that's always a useful skill to have," Lestrade remarked smiling at the last comment, ripping Lily out of the flashback and back to the conversation with Lestrade. "The paper work will most likely be sent to me by tomorrow, so you can come back and start working then. Your desk will be right by this office. It is the first desk to the left when you walk out," he said looking out and pointing to the direction the desk is located. "You can decorate it however you like and tomorrow you will be informed on the recent case we are investigating. I would say now that you are in London get a good night sleep and be fresh for tomorrow." The detective turned and smiled at Lily, "Welcome to Scotland Yard."
