*After a small hiatus, I bring you Chapter 2!*
Troll Cops – Chapter 2
You sit in a small cubicle that consists of three walls and a wooden desk. You tap your left hand's fingernails on your desk while the right flips the page of a book. You had painted your fingernails in a pattern of two of your favorite colors; a crimson red and black. You sigh and continue reading. Along with your book and hands, your desk supports a cheap manila telephone, a clock that usually stops working until you smack it, a cute but boring desk plant, an ancient computer, and a stress-reliever. You have also decorated your cubical walls with a colorful calendar featuring different sports, photos of the places you wished to go to, and an Indiana Jones movie poster. Your only reading material consists of two short story books both by Stephen King. You brush back a piece of your thick hair behind your ear, but it only falls back in your face. You shut the book and read the clock on your desk, which read 8:10. "Time flies when you're stuck at work." You mutter.
Your name is Aradia Megido. You work as a policewoman in Alternia and you can have a hard time keeping your antics under the hat when it comes to going out onto the field. You are usually pretty fearless when it comes to solving mysteries and fighting crime but your anger can get in the way. You hate days where you are stuck in your tiny box filing police reports. You only took up this job so you could kick ass and save the city. You are hoping that your boring week will take a turn toward the exciting.
You hear the loud crash of a door opening, seeing that your boss has decided to leave. You find this interesting because Terezi usually stays late doing god-knows-what. You watch your boss prance from her office. She seems pretty happy. You watch in silence as she clocks out and skips through the double glass doors of your building. Suddenly she peeks her head back in for only a moment to says "I am ending the day early or whatever. Kanaya, you are in charge of tonight's nightshift and page me if something happens." You sigh and look at the unfinished report on your computer's dull screen. You save it, shut the thing down, and stand up from your desk. You decide to end today on a bland note. You grab your small bag and exit the cubical, walking past the secretary's desk. "Aren't you staying for the nightshift? It is your turn tonight, correct?"
"Nah, I need to get home… I finished up a few of my reports and all and I will get here early tomorrow to finish the rest."
"Alright. Make sure I get those reports and try to make it here before 5:30am. Have a good night and be sure to punch your card on the way out."
You thank Kanaya and punch your timecard. You exit the building and call for a cab. You live on the outskirts of the city, but tonight you are going out for dinner because you don't feel like making it yourself. A small yellow taxi comes to a slow stop in front of you and lets you hop in.
