July 1st 9am

Claire walked behind the angry night guard as they made their way to her office, the light clicking of her heels nearly drowned out by Kyle's near stomping. She sighed wondering to herself if she made a mistake. They both entered her office, Kyle pacing as Claire sat in her chair. She let out a huff as she could just tell he was about to yell.

"Now Kyle, please, and without yelling, tell me what the issue is." Claire stated slowly and softly. She watched as Kyle sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose. He inhale sharply as he gave a very condensed version of their shared past. "Lets just say...that bastard out there fucked my now ex-girlfriend behind my back...and i walked in on them mid stroke." Kyle looked his boss straight in the eye, his anger plain on his face. "So yea you could say that ended our friendship, we used to be best friends and did everything together. He was there when my dad was killed and how does he repay me? By fucking my girl. Ugh." Kyle scowled as he sat down across from her.

Claire massaged her temples. This was beginning to seem like a bad idea in the making. She glanced up to see his face still full of anger.

"Look Kyle, I'm sorry, but he was the best option. Everyone else was either too young, couldn't pass background checks, or had some mental thing going on. One kid, a Orion i think, told me after several attempts of prodding had a legitimate voice in his head."

Kyle cocked his eyebrow, "So you hired this jackass?"

"Kyle, i didn't know, and he didn't know you worked here. Please, just try to swallow your anger for one night. Teach him the night guard basics and then thats it. You wont have to deal with him directly unless we have a staff meeting. Please Kyle, he seems trustworthy enough to work here."

"Ugh fine, but you go tell him to leave first. I don't want to deal with his face at the moment."

Claire stood up and left the office, sighing as she left the doorway. Kyle could barely make out Claire asking Samuel to return later tonight. He then heard the doors open and close. Kyle stood and headed back to the main area to watch a car leave through the glass. He groaned as he thought about what could possibly happen tonight. He walked to where Freddy was leaving the backstage.

"That the new day guard?" Freddy asked with a air of confusion on his voice.

"Ugh don't remind me." Kyle snapped.

Freddy cocked an eyebrow, "You know him?"

"Long story, Ill tell you guys later tonight. Hey tell everyone bye for me, I'm heading home to catch up on a little sleep."

Freddy smiled and nodded. Kyle gave the bear a wave before heading out of the main doors to his car.


Kyle woke up about 9 that night. He couldn't get to sleep right away, it took a little time to finally pass out. He took his time getting ready to be to work early at 10 so he could show Samuel around. Ugh just thinking about it gave him a headache. He started heading to the kitchen as his thoughts continued. He remembered the days that followed the big blowup. He lost his best friend, his now ex- girlfriend had moved away to another state, his mother tried to make him feel better about it, but nothing really worked. He just sulked for a while and focused on the final days of school to get his mind off things. He just wished he knew why this all happened, as far as he knew he was very attentive to her needs.

Kyle shook his head as he tried to focus on what he needed to go over with Samuel

July 1st 9:50 pm

After he finished eating he headed over to the diner, he wanted to give them all a heads up about the new guy. As he pulled up to the building, he noticed a car already there, with a dark skinned young man standing at the door. Kyle took a deep breath and marched towards the door.

"Hey Kyle." Samuel started, but was ignored as Kyle quickly unlocked and open the door with a grunt. Sam quickly followed Kyle in, trying to talk but Kyle cut him off with a glare. Kyle started explaining fast, "Ok first lock all doors and double check them, then shut off lights and head to the security office, then you..."

Samuel tried to catch it all but found it difficult. He had to say something. "Kyle?"

"Not now."

"Kyle..." Samuel tried again.

"Fuck off Sam... Now where was I?"

Sam snapped, he lunged at Kyle knocking him over. Kyle grunted and pushed back against the man trying to pin him down. Kyle threw his elbow back trying to hit the man that was on his back, but it was misdirected by Samuel, who then grabbed Kyle by the back of his shirt, picking him off the ground and tried to shove Kyle into the wall. Kyle tried to break free when Sam punched Kyle into the face knocking Kyle onto his back on the floor. Samuel quickly pounced onto Kyle pinning his hands down. Kyle started to struggle when he was stopped by Samuel yelling right in his face.

"KYLE, listen to me. Let me explain please."

Kyle huffed, "Fine but get off now."

Samuel leaned in closer, "No, this way you have to listen. Look, when you were at camp, She called me man, said you guys split long ago. She told me that she wanted to talk. So I went over to her place, where she said she knew i had the hots for her but i never made a move since i respected you as a best friend. She started rubbing on me asking if I wanted a go with her since you and her were done. Well before i could question it, she started undoing my pants and i lost it man. She led me to her room like a puppy on a leash. I had just started to slide in when you walked in and saw man. After you left, she tried to explain but told her to shut up. I tried to talk to you for months but was afraid man. We were best Friends and I should've never done anything but she seemed to be telling the truth man. Kyle I'm sorry please believe me. I've never lied to you before. I even told you about my furry fetish man."

Kyle laid there listening to Sam talk. He didn't want to believe it...but up to that point, he had never lied to him before. Kyle sighed, "Ok I'm sorry your right, I should've taken the time and asked around."

Samuel smiled, "Thanks bud."

"Yea, now get off."

"Aw, making you uncomfortable?" Samuel smirked remembering how much stronger he was than Kyle, and loved to show it off.

"No but you might get hurt." Kyle's smug grin returned.

Sam leaned back, "Kyle you know I'm stronger, and who's going to help you? No ones here, and all those things i've heard about this place are just rumors."

Before either one could say anything, the sound of a metal blade being unsheathed pierced the air. The feeling a sharp metal against his neck made Sam gasp sharply. "What the fuck...?"

A fierce voice cut him off, "Unless you want to make those rumors real, I suggest you GET..OFF..OF...HIM."

Samuel slowly stood and turned to see a very angry looking anthro-vixen standing there, cutlass pointed at the Sam's chest. Her eyes glowing a bright red. The rest of the band all standing nearby.

"K.k...Kyle? What's going on?"

Kyle smiled widely, "Oh you wouldn't believe it."


Don't forget to let me know your thoughts and Ill get back to ya
