Authors Note: This chapter is not going to be as good as the others because I'm tired AF! And not only that, I just did a shit ton of house work in redding for a friend to which I had to drive back to my house which is five hours away. So yeah, deal with it, late chapter. !

Lucys POV

"I can't belive that I am staying at Lockwood and Co. for a year.", I looked up at the ceiling while laying in my bed. I hopped out of bed and walked out of my room to see Lockwood standing in the hallway. I ignored him and walked down the stairs, he looked at me oddly confused. He followed me downstairs and into the kitchen. George was standing making eggs and toast. I went to the fridge and poured some milk, Lockwood came up from behind me.

"What's up?", Lockwood gave me a smile.

"The sky.", I walked into the living room and sat at the thinking cloth and started to sketch out a plan on how to up the Lockwood and Co. buissness. Lockwood came and sat at the table too. He looked at me worried.

"No seriously, what's up? You're acting weird."

"Seriously, the sky, and I'm perfectly fine.", I finished my milk and went upstairs to get ready.

I walked into my room and grabbed a light yellow long sleeved shirt and a black skirt. I put on some leggings and pulled my bangs back. I also put on my boots and my belt on. I grabbed my daggers and rapier. I then walked downstairs again and sat in my usual spot in the living room. George then walked out with some tea. He then wnet back into the kitchen and Lockwood then walked in the room and sat in his chair. He looked at me with a small frown. I looked at the clock and it was 8:30. I went into a daze thinking about somethings. What did Kipps mean by he's not worth your gaze or time? Why did Lockwood care so much about what Kipps said? How did he find out, did he have an argument with Kipps? So many questions that I need to lnow the answer to. I shot up out of the chair and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a piece of toast and sat back down. Lockwood looked at me weirdly and George came in and sat down. I was stumped about how to help Lockwood and Co. I couldn't figure out how to drum up buissness.

"Lockwood!", I shouted out of excitement. Lockwood jumped and looked at me suprised.

"Y-yes?", Lockwood was still a little suprised.

"We need to leave! Kipps, the paper work, 9:00. It's 8:50! You said you wanted to go!", Luckily Lockwood was dressed. I grabbed Lockwood and ran out the door. Poor george, he was left all alone. I got a cab and told the person driving to go to the cafe downtown. Lockwood and I sat next to each other. We made it to the cafe, I gave the driver the money and Lockwood and I got out of the cab. We walked into cafe and saw kipps sitting at a table in the back. We walked over to the table and looked at Kipps.

"Ah, Loopy, you're here. I thought you wouldn't come, and I see you brought Anthony.", Kipps glared at Lockwood and looked back at me. Lockwood and I sat down and Kipps pulled out paperwork. He handed it to me and I started to read it. "Okay, let's get started. This is a contract that you need to sign, it has everything you need to know and it will also tell you some of our rules.", I looked at the rules and they seemed reasonable. I wasn't complaining, it was actually quite a good rule system. But one rule caught my attention.

"I have to do everything that you say, I'm not allowed to say no, not even argue?", I looked at Kipps oddly.

"Yes, you have to listen to all of your upper class. You also can't argue."

"As long as it's not illegal, I'll do it. Everything else seems reasonable.", I signed the contract and gave it back to Kipps.

"Good we needed someone like you. To be able to defeat a type three, that takes talent. You will also be put on a high level ranking team, and you will also be in charge of the newbies that will be coming in to work. You-"

"Hold on just a minute.", I got up out of my seat and walked over to the middle of the cafe. I kneeled down to a little girl. She was about five maybe six. She had short blonde hair and was wearing pink shorts and a white short sleeved top with a bunny rabbit on it. She was crying and no one was around her. She looked up at me and I smiled. "Hi, I'm Lucy, can you tell me what's wrong?", She wiped her tears and looked at me with puffy red eyes.

"My mommy, she isn't here anymore, she's gone.", The little girl started to cry again. I pat the little girl on the head and smiled.

"It's okay, I'll help you find your mommy. What's your name?"

"Charlotte. Will you really help me find my mommy?"

"Yes I will. Let me go get a friend to help so we can find her faster, okay?", the girl smiled and nodded her head. I picked up the girl and walked to Kipps and Lockwood. The two of them looked at me oddly. "Lockwood, Kipps, we are going to help this little girl find her mother."

"What do you mean?", Lockwood asked.

"This little girl lost her mother and we need to help find her mother.", I pointed at Charlotte who was smiling. "This is Charlotte. So are you guys up for the task?", I smiled.

"Sure", Lockwood and Kipps said it at the same time.

"Miss you're really nice! My mommy told me that there are angles that give one person a heart of gold every one hundred years. I think you were given a heart of gold!", Charlotte smiled at me and then looked at Lockwood and Kipps. "Your friends are nice too! Let's go find my mommy!"

"Okay! Let's go guys, we have no time to lose. Good thing we just finished up.", I walked out the door while Lockwood and Kipps followed. We walked around town seeing if we could find her mother. We were almost finished going around downtown. We walked past a toy shop and suddenly I heard a yell in my ear.

"Mommy!", I put the Charlotte down and she ran to a tall slim woman. She had long blonde hair and had a light blue dress on that went down to her knees. The mother picked up her child and hugged her dearly. She then walked twords Lockwood, Kipps, and I and smiled.

"Are you the one who helped my daughter?", The lady asked.

"Yes. You must be the mother.", I smiled. Lockwood and Kipps looked at me with an amazed look.

"Thank you very much, I was running around the whole town looking for Charlotte.", The lady looked at my rapier and then looked me up and down. "Are you by any chance Lucy Carlyle?"

"Uh, yes. How did you know?"

"How, the whole town knows, you are the girl who defeated the type three. Not only that but you are the girl who sang at the ball! You're the talk of the town. I don't want to be rude but, please help me, I'm begging you."

"Yes, I guess I could. How about you come down to 35 Portland Row tomorrow and we can talk. Does that seem fine?"

"Yes, thank you very much, I will see you tomorrow.", The lady left with Charlotte and Lockwood looked at me.

"Trust me, I'm helping you.", I looked at Lockwood who sighed and nodded. "Don't even think about taking this case Kipps. I start work next month so you can't stop me right now from working with Lockwood. You also cannot take a case that I am doing. And if you do I will hurt you."

"Unfortunately, you are not wrong, so I can't argue with you. Well I best be off, I need to turn in this paper work. Bye Loopy.", Kipps walked off and Lockwood and I grabbed a cab. We got into the cab. I sat next to Lockwood, I started to close my eyes and doze off. I leaned on Lockwoods shoulder and he blushed.

"Luce, what are you doing?", Lockwood looked at me and got more red. I was dead asleep. He layed his head on mine. "Whatever, you're asleep, it doesn't matter."
