Chapter Ten:

Inside was a long round mahogany table. Seated around it were important looking businessmen and women.

"Please take a seat Jasmine." One of them ordered, but she said it with a hint of understanding. Like she had once been where Jasmine was now.

Jasmine cautiously pulled the only empty chair out and sat down. She turned her head and looked at Allison. Allison nodded her head and gave her a soft reassuring smile. Allison slowly backed out of the room and shut the door.

"Welcome, Jasmine" said a man sitting directly across from her. He was a middle aged man, and the tips of his hair were gray. His eyes were covered by dark sunglasses, and Jasmine couldn't help but feel a little frightened by him. "Jasmine, what is your name?" he asked.

"My name is Jasmine" she answered calmly.

"Your full name" he asked smoothly, pausing dramatically between each word. Jasmine hesitated and looked down at her lap. She didn't want them to know who she really was. "Something wrong, Miss Eureka" Jasmine head shot up and she starred at the man is disbelief.

"Don't look so surprised, Miss Eureka" Said an elderly gentlemen sitting beside to her. But he didn't say it rudely, like the other guy had. He seemed, sympathetic.

"Miss Eureka, you forget, this is Eureka. We have almost unlimited resources at our disposal. It did take some digging, but we did discover who you are." Said the man across from her.

"Detrick, don't be so hard on the girl." Said the woman who had told her to sit down earlier.

"Jeannette, it would be nice, if you weren't so sympathetic to ever person who came through that door!" he snapped. "and that goes for you too Liam!" The man beside her looked down at his hands in his lap. Detrick slowly reached up and took off his sleek black glasses, and set them on the table. His eyes were closed, and he seemed in deep thought. He slowly opened his eyes.

They were so beautiful, they were pure white. The irises of his eyes had just a tint of blue, which meant he hadn't always been blind. His eyes moved around erratically in his head, before falling on her, Jasmine felt like he was peering into her very soul. He blinked a few times, then felt around on the table for his glass, and put them on. "Congratulations, Jasmine. You now have a job at Global Dynamics." he told her. He stood from his chair, and left the room out of a door behind him.

"Here, Jasmine" Jeannette handed her a small black Ipad. "Everything you need is on this Ipad. It will explain your position here, where that puts you in the GD food chain, and you will also be able to pick your new residence. Since staying with Sheriff Carter is out of the question, for your, unique situation." Jeannette smiled at her, they all turned and left the room. But Jeanette stopped in the doorway and turned to her. "Oh, and don't worry, we won't tell anyone who you are."Jeannette smiled again and walked out of the room.

Jasmine on the other hand just sat there. When she walked in there, she had expected a huge interrogation. But nooooo, a blind guy scans her, which made no sense! And they gave her the job, which maybe was better. Jasmine collected herself and stood up. She turned and went back through the door behind her. Allison and Jack were waiting patiently on the other side. Allison looked surprised when she walked out.

"Wow, that was fast." she commented.

"How long does it usually take?" asked Jasmine.

"At least an hour" she answered.

"Well I guess that's a sign I'm gonna do great things for Eureka." She said slyly.

"Well let's go to Cafe Diem to celebrate!" Jack shouted ecclesiastically. Allison and I laughed and followed Jack out of the office.

8 hours later, back at Jack's house:

Jasmine laid on the couch in Jack's living room, listening to Hollywoodundead. She was going through everything on the Ipad Jeannette had given her. They made her technical adviser of GD, she got to oversee a lot of the project going on at GD. And they had even given her her own huge lab. And she is currently going through different unoccupied houses in Eureka.

Jasmine P.O.V.

God there are so many houses in Eureka! I've virtually toured thirteen different houses, and none of them feel right. I am currently going through a two bedroom white Victorian house, and I hate it. It's just so plain and boring. I crossed off my list of houses and went two the next house on the list. The summary read; 3 bedroom house, large family room, modern kitchen, dining room, 2 bathrooms, fully furnished basement, and detached garage.

Well the description has every thing I want. The virtual tour took me to the outside of the house. It was a two story blue house, and had a full porch, and a wooden porch swing. I sat up a little and looked at it closer, it was beautiful. Now I just hope the insides as pretty as the outside.

Through the front door was a small mudroom, and stairs leading down to the basement. I went down to the basement first. It had brown carpeting and bright yellow paint. Next I went to the kitchen, it had brand new appliances, granite counter tops, and a breakfast bar. Next to the first floor bedroom, which I would use as a guest room. It had deep green wallpaper and wood flooring. The family room was huge, and lead out to the backyard. The backyard is huge, and is fenced in, which is a must have. The bathrooms were great, and had really cool black and white tiles. The second bedroom was large, and looked out onto the backyard. And the master suite was amazing. There was a door that lead out onto a trellis over the backyard.

I was absolutely sold, this house is where I want to live. I clicked on the stay here button, and I second later I heard a little ping. And a congratulation you have picked your house sigh popped onto the Ipad screen. I smiled and reached over to the table and grabbed my phone, I had a few calls to make.

It might be a while before the next chapters up, so savor this one. RR
