The smell of stale cigarettes and alcohol filled the blonde's nostrils the moment she walked through the door of the bar, making her stomach turn. 'I never could stand the smell of these places,' she thought' as much as I need this im not sure I can put up with this night after night.' Her blue eyes glance around the dimly lit room, taking in the bright neon sign above the bar. The word 'wreck' casting an eerie green glow across the room. Her eyes stop on the shape of a familiar blonde walking toward what she is assuming is an office to the left side of the room.

She walked swiftly to the door that the blonde had disappeared through, taking a deep breath before she knocked. The door swung open revealing a set of warm brown eyes that she hadn't seen in years.

"Hey Arizona, it's great to see you, come in and have a seat."

"Thank you so much for this Teddy, I really appreciate what you are doing for me, you don't understand how badly I needed this. Medical school is ridiculously expensive and this job might keep me from going completely bankrupt." Arizona exclaims as she takes a seat by a small desk in the center of the humble office, the excitement in her voice making her sound like a child on Christmas morning.

Teddy sighs and throws her hair up into a messy ponytail. "Honestly you're doing me a favor as much as I'm doing you one. Things have been pretty rough lately and I just don't have enough resources to find someone I can really trust and then take the time to train them to work the bar."

Arizona looks at teddy carefully for the first time since she had been there, noticing the signs of exhaustion and stress that she knew weren't there the last time she had seen her. Teddy's eyes looked old and tired with noticeable dark circles beneath them, and her face was dull and full of tension.

"What's going on is it something serious, because if u need any more help I'm more than willing to help with whatever you need. All you need to do is ask."

"Now don't you worry your pretty little head about it. You coming to work for me behind the bar is more than enough. Speaking of which lets get down to business, okay?"

Teddy takes a seat in the chair across from the smaller blonde and gives her a forced smile, her eyes almost demanding that the subject of her business problems be closed.

" im going to try to be as flexable with your hours as possible. The last thing I want to do is get in the way of your education. So if you're going to be late or you need time off because your just to tired ,or have a project, or whatever the case may be, just send me a text and ill cover for you. There's no real dress code, but I wouldn't wear anything that you wouldn't want to get dirty. And most importantly stay out of that back room, that's one part of my business that I just don't want you to get mixed up in. so… any questions or concerns?"

Arizona gave her longtime friend a suspicious look "what's going on in the back room? It's nothing illegal is it? You're not selling drugs or something are you?"

Teddy can't help but laugh and shake her head. "No, of course not. It's nothing like that, I promise, it's just a blood brothel. Perfectly legal in Boston. But I know that's not really your thing, and we get a few roughneck vamps in here and I don't want to see you get hurt."

"A blood brothel, really teddy?" she said unbelievingly

"Yep, what can I say, it's good money and pays for half my expenses."

"Well you gotta do what you gotta do I guess." She says as she looks around the room awkwardly. "Well I've got to get going I have a class to get to, but it was really nice seeing you and I'm excited to be working here."

"It was great seeing you too, I'll see you tomorrow at seven, take care." Both women stand and embrace each other, then the blonde quickly exits the room.

Quickly making her way to the exit Arizona watches as a group of people ,'no, vampires.' She reminds herself, walk through a door in the back of the bar. She sees the vampire's eye painted on the door and wonders how she didn't notice it when she first entered the building.

'I can't believe teddy is getting mixed up with vampires," she thought shaking her head slightly " I knew the bar was in trouble but I never in a million years thought that she would sink that low.'

Arizona was so caught up with her thoughts that she didn't see the cold blue eyes watching her from an alley across from the bar.
