Riley groaned as Sirius poked his head into her office door for the twelfth time that morning. Mark and Sirius had been continually checking in on her, to make sure she wasn't off gallivanting around town following vampires. James had even stopped by once.
By now Riley was seething. Standing up forcefully she gritted her teeth angrily. "Mr. Black! I cannot do my job with you continually barging in here. I am not going anywhere!"
Sirius gaped at her, open-mouthed, in shock. Then the door was forcefully shut in face. Instantly Riley was back at her desk, the vampire file open in front of her.
The name at the top of the list was William O'Kelley; more commonly known as Kinch. Unemployed with a series of assault charges against young woman, he was definitely someone who required more looking into.
Hearing voices out in the hallway Riley hastily shoved the folder back into the file cabinet and slid it shut.
Sirius and Mark were talking. "I'm going home for awhile." Sirius was saying.
"I'll be holed up in my office all day." Mark's booming voice replied. "Contact me there if anything comes up."
There was a pause, and then Riley heard the office door slam shut. Moments later the door to Mark's office was closed as well, and silence descended around her.
Logging his address away in her head, Riley quickly gathered her things together, and left the building.

She worked as she walked. She pulled off her work blouse and stuffed it into her mini-back pack. Underneath her blouse had been a navy blue tank top with the words 'Can't Catch Me' written on it in shimmery silver letters.
Then she ducked into an ally and moved into the shadows. When she emerged she was wearing baggy, black, cargo pants, and black sneakers. Her chocolate hair was now back to it's original blonde color, and was mostly covered by a plain black bandana. In a further attempt to disguise her appearance, black sunglasses rested on the bridge of her nose.
Without pausing, she strode out of the ally and into the sunlight. Head down - so as not to draw attention to herself - she turned the corner, and walked straight into someone else.
Riley hastily straightened her bandana, and replaced her sunglasses from where they had fallen onto the pavement; the stranger stood up. She looked up to see a hand extended in front of her. She tried to discern the face, but found she was squinting up into the bright sun, and the person's face was shadowed.
"I'm sorry Miss, how careless of me. I wasn't watching where I was going." A male voice explained apologetically.
A weak smile crept onto Riley's face, but disappeared almost immediately as a large cloud drifted over the glaring sunlight, and the man's face became visible.
