Rainy Days
Notes: No this is not a serious Outbreak fic, I'm in crackdown mode at school so I'm venting out the seriousness and putting in comedy. =p
Prologue:
It's A Brand New Day...And?
Alyssa walked sternly up to the doors of her oh so humble job: The Raccoon City newspaper...ok, yeah right she was always making some poor sap's life miserable with incrimaiting photos or anything of the like, but hey it was her job she had to be in somebody's business and she would do anything to get her story...well almost anything, let's not get any ideas here people. With a slightly bright smile across her face, her strawberry blonde hair was gently blowing in the wind of the beautiful morning sky as her pale skin seemed to glisten in the sunlight. She was dressed in the usual, her burgundy business suit it hid a lot of that extra weight she'd been trying to secretly get rid of. Yeah and well it obviously wasn't working cause she was still wearing the blasted suit.
In one hand, Alyssa carried her handy notebook. Her other hand was firmly placed on her hip as she stopped in front of the entrance.
"Today is the day...I get mah raise." Alyssa had meaning to ask for one, and well today seemed like the right day for it. Besides, it was such a sunny beautiful day. The birds were singing, the flowers were in bloom. Why the hell not?
Walking through the cubicles, the stale scent of coffee filled Alyssa's senses along with smell of paper and permeant markers, yeah that's lovely ain it?
"Morning Ms.Ashcroft" It was Jerry, his short curly brown hair bounced slightly and he adjusted his thick glasses, his stature was very thin and tall...your run in the mill dork ok! One of them ahem lesser potted plant guys everyone meets sooner or later in life. She could tell he had a thing for her...he was always trying to please her and offered to do things for her and Alyssa took advantage of it, the big meanie. She didn't really associate herself with people she deemed inferior to herself but once again today was such a nice day, why not let the bastard feel appreciated.
"Morning Jerry? How are things?" Alyssa actually stopped to make conversation which shocked Jerry to no end.
"Good..uh,...really good." He smiled but he was kinda scared he was just used to her walking past him, spitting out some order and looking at him like he were an insect or something.
"Well, hey...keep up the good work." Even though Alyssa had no idea what he did.
"I will...I will...Hey Alyssa may I get you a cup of coffee?" Jerry offered
"Sure, that'd be great." Alyssa smiled...and she meant it!
Jerry went on his way, a smile on his features.
"That poor little fool." Alyssa smiled and chucked her little heart away.
When she reached the front door to her boss's office she ran a hand through he hair and straighten herself.
"Ok...I'm ready." Alyssa confidently told herself and opened the door.
"Yes,...Mr. Steven's I-" Alyssa stopped short when she met face to face with some old looking granny.
"Oh I'm sorry, are you Mr. Steven's mother?" Alyssa asked with a false smile.
"No...I'm your new boss Ms.Digiovanni, Stevens has left for...personal reasons." Her voice cracked an annoying English-school- teacher type sound. Her pale grey-blonde hair was fastened into a bun, and her eyes harbored restlessness. Ok to sum this up she really looked like she needed to get action and quick...I'm talkin emergency here.
"What do you want young lady?" She asked sternly
"Well, it's a matter of this raise I've been wanting. Mr. Stevens and I had kinda agreed...will may not agreed but-" Alyssa fumbled with her words.
"Raise? You want a raise?" She broke into a hysteria.
Alyssa sneered and folded her arms, and thought many obscenities ... but oh how she wanted to voice them.
"You will not be reciving a raise on my watch...you will earn your raise like I did when I first began journalism." She smiled almost wickedly.
Well at that rate, I'll be just as old and as ugly as you...well maybe not ugly...but old...if not older. Alyssa thought to herself.
"Now remove yourself from my sight" She chuckled..."A raise...pffft"
Alyssa closed the door behind her, and walked to her cubicle. Slamming her fist on the desk.
"That stanking old woman, she just ruined my damn day!" Alyssa scolded an invisible person, she needed someone to yell at right about now.
Now as if on que Jerry walked in with steaming cup of coffee.
"Here's your coffee, Alyssa." He smiled and stretched his arm out to her.
"Jerry take that coffee and shove it..." Alyssa growled.
Jerry looked at her then at the coffee.
"Umm-" He stuttered.
"Just get the hell out!" Alyssa sneered and tapped her fingers on the desk.
Jerry left abruptly, and Alyssa was left alone to contemplate. About what who knows.
The sound of rain, entered Alyssa's ears, her suddenly nice day was beginning to go down hill and fast.
She sarcastically gave an "OK" sign to the big man upstairs. Today was going to be a long ass day.
"Hey Jerry!." She yelled after him.
"Yes, Ms. Ashcroft?" He replied he hadn't gotten very far apparently.
"Come here." She ordered.
Jerry adjusted his glasses, and walked towards Alyssa and he fidgeted. Sorta of afraid of what she might do, since her happy mood was gone now.
"Lemme ask ya a question...you still got that coffee?" Alyssa asked, as if she was secretly coveting crack or something.
He nodded and showed it to her, he was carrying it and yeah it was hot damnit y'know like when you stick your tongue into something really hot and then it's all numb? Yeah that kind of hot.
"Eh, let me have that cup o' joe." Alyssa smiled, falsely of course. Jerry handed it to her, once again he didn't have a clue as to what was wrong with her, one minute she was nice, then mad, then back to nice. She needed to make up her damn mind.
"Thanks...now..." She took a sip from the cup.
"Get the hell outta here." Alyssa sneered.
ANote: Prologue is finished, wow Alyssa really a jerk ain't she? Well, don't worry besides Ms.Digiovanni I got someone who can put her in her place. . Please R&R and I'll love you forever not to mention there's free cookies and lemonade.
