I cautiously entered the building highly aware of my surroundings, in fear I might get jumped. I was in the lobby; it had a fern in the corner of the room, an elevator at the far wall, and a desk with a very large, well-built man.

I put on my "poker face" and got into the game, because I'm pretty sure this man was all business and that he doesn't take any smack, so I said, "Yo, I'm looking for a job. Could I get one here?"

The man stared at me as if I was Freddy Crooger. I would understand that if the guy was a wimpy, nerd, but seriously? This guy is dressed just like me (all black), is bigger than me, and most men thinks girls are helpless, but he looks scared shitless.

"What's your problem?" I said, with clear, pure annoyance in my voice.

Then the guy just stands and stares at me, and he starts daydreaming!

He finally speaks after ten minutes, "Who are you?"

Oh, so he isn't mute… good to know. I answer, "Ally." Then I get curious, "You?"

He then doesn't give me an answer, but he snaps to an attention stance, just like soldiers in the military do. I turn around and see a Hispanic man, most likely Cuban, step fully out of the elevator. I then have to suppress a smile, because the man has a pony-tail, I mean I'm not even wearing a pony-tail.

He doesn't seem happy to see me at all. I'm judging this because he nods to the weird dude and then turns to me with a look of annoyance, and says, "Who the Hell are you?"

This man is automatically pushing my buttons. Though, I don't like the way he reacted to me on a first meeting bases I assume something bad just happened or he's got girl trouble, even though I'm not interested I can't see a girl not wanting some of that.

I speak clearly, "Ally."

"What do you want?"

"A job."

"Are you smiling?"

Oh crap! I didn't think I was smiling!

"You don't experience that often I presume?"

The man from earlier interrupts, "I'm Binkie," now mumbling, and I could just make it out," and that's the boss."

"Oh well, nice to meet you Binkie. How many men around here have a pony-tail?"

The Boss intervenes, "I'm Ranger, the CEO of Rangeman. I'm surprised you don't wear a pony-tail little missy." The first part was polite, but when he hit the word "little" the rest came out like venom.

"Right, so, you got an opening?"

"No."

"Well, that's too bad. Thanks anyway."

Binkie starts up again, "Hey, Ally? How many times did a truck hit your face? If you asked me the truck tried 4-5 times to make it resemble a face."

I reacted faster than humanly possible. I had him up against the wall in three seconds flat. My hand was on his throat. While he is struggling for breath I speak in my signature deadly tone, "What did you say? Because I swear that was very risky talk on your part. You better be watching your back, day and night. I recommend sleeping with one eye open from now freaking on."

I let his throat go and he fell to the floor coughing and nodding, I then turned away and headed out the door.
