Chapter 2: Jasmine P.O.V.
A/N: In response to reviews I got on the first chapter. I am aware that in the TV show, Albert Einstein founded Eureka. But for my story I changed Eureka's history a little, or maybe Carter, Allison, Fardo, Jo, and Henry went back in time and screwed with it again. Anyway, here is Chapter 2, sorry it's kinda short.
I had been to GD once before, when I was a kid. So I didn't freak when Director Blake drove us off of a bridge. But my eyes did light up at the sight of Global Dynamics. It was just as amazing as it had been the last time I saw it. Allison lead me to her office. Allison had gotten tired of me calling her Director Blake, so she told me to call her Allison.
Allison looked very impressed with all of my papers, she even skimmed through my book. I had had to explain some of the things in my book. Which made her huge ego grown a bit bigger. Knowing things that the head of GD didn't know was awesome. After two hours of me sitting there while Allison reviewed most of my work, I was starting to get very bored. She was very impressed with the holographic projector device I'd made. It stored the patterns of objects I had scanned and downloaded onto in earlier. All of the objects would show up on a list, that was categorized into sections. When you selected something it would materialize and become an actual object. That you could carry around and eventually put it back into the M.A.A.H.C as I call it. It stands for Mater Analyzer And Holographic Converter. I absolutely love acronyms.
"All of your work is incredible." Allison told her.
"Thanks" I said shyly.
"How had we not discovery you earlier?" Allison asked completely baffled.
"Well, I was home schooled. My dad, he's a genius like me, but he doesn't like being in public. He taught me a lot of what I know." I explained.
"Well I am going to talk with the board. And hopefully you'll be working here soon." she told her. Allison and I stood up and Allison walked around her desk. Allison held out her hand and I shook it. Allison lead me out of her office and toward the doors leading outside. "Where are you going to be staying?" she asked opening the door for me. The smile on my face faded away and I turned to face her.
"Actually I don't have a place to stay. I-I'll probably just stay at a hotel or something." I told her.
"Eureka doesn't have any hotels." Allison informed me. I looked at her, really, really confused. What town doesn't have a hotel. "We don't want any tourists poking around where they shouldn't be." She explained. I nodded my head in understanding. It made sense, eliminating Eureka as a tourist destination. But now I had a big problem. Where was I going to stay, god I am such an idiot! I probably should have thought this all out before I came to Eureka. Oh well, I'm seventeen. Even geniuses can be stupid at times, I should know that better than anyone. "I have an idea, Jasmine" Allison said, breaking me out of the run on conversation in my head. "I have an extra room in my house. You can stay there." offered Allison.
"Thanks" I said smiling. I went up to her an hugged her.
"I hope you don't mind kids though. I've got a fifteen year old son and a one and a half year old daughter." she told me. I smiled at this new bit of information. I absolutely love kids, and I'm especially great with babies.
"I don't mind kids" I told her. Wow, I've only been in Eureka a day and I'm already loving it. My dad always told me that Eureka was the capitol of bad things to come. But I never believed him. If I had, I'd probably be a socially deprived weirdo like him. Eureka isn't so bad, and nothing looked bad to me. But my endless mind babble was suddenly interrupted by a large explosion inside GD.
Ta-da, cliffhanger!
