Didn't know if I'd manage another chapter this week, but here it is. Hope you like...I don't own Twilight...

Kira POV

I still had a full hour left to my shift but I was already getting antsy. I was sitting in my office trying my best to focus on the days paperwork. My focus was failing...miserbly.

I hadn't confirmed it, but I was almost positive that Seth was in the building. My best friend, who I hadn't seen in 5 years was in this very building and I had to sit here and try to do paperwork for another hour. If I had my mind on me, I would have just texted him to see if he was here, but no, I was too distracted with thoughts to do something that made sense.

A few months after I returned to Vegas I had decided against being anything with Seth but friends. My mind was made up.

Unfortunately, that part of my mind had just jumped out the window. Hell, it hadn't just jumped out the window, it was currently racing down the street towards Canada!

The conversation I had with my father that day in the woods before Nessie was born kept creeping into my mind. Could it really be possible for me to make a life with Seth even though he could imprint at any time and we would both have our hearts broken? Was I willing to take the risk?

Since the part of my brain not willing to take the chance was currently half way to Canada by now, I was left with only the half that wanted more than life itself to just jump in the deep end and let love happen. Heartbreak be damned.

I sighed deeply and let me head bang hard on my desk. Unfortunately, the stinging in my forehead from the impact didn't help to improve the clarity of my mind. It was at that moment that my minion, Tammy, who had been outside my office monitoring the cameras, came in. She cleared her throat loudly.

"You OK boss?" She asked with genuine concern in her voice. Tammy was such a nice woman, but she was also an excellent security officer. I guessed that having 4 kids made her soft and sweet, but also tough as nails when she needed to be.

I looked up at her and smiled weakly. "I'm fine. Just having some heavy thoughts, that's all."

She smiled knowingly back at me and gave me a sympathetic look. "This isn't gonna help much. I just got a call from Tobias. Apparently he has a situation in dining room 3 with a drunk guy causing problems. Didn't sound like a head of security level problem, but you did say..."

I chuckled to myself and finished her sentence. "...that any problems with Tobias should go direct to me. Yeah, I know." I got up from my desk, stretching. "I'll go check it out. When Tank gets here, tell him I called it a night after dealing with Tobias."

"You got it." Tammy replied, returning to her post.

I left the office not knowing what I'd be walking into. Dining room 3 was where the La Push boys were. I was guessing that if they had started a fight, there would have been a bigger, more excited call to security. At least this gave me something to do and an excuse to go down and see the guys early. I figured I'd sort out the problem, then hang out for a bit.

As I approached Dining room 3, I saw 5 people outside the door. One of them was in a wheelchair. I smiled quickly, then let the smile fade as Tobias turned to me.

"Kira, thanks for coming. We have a bit of a problem here." He pointed to a very drunk man being held up by the wall. "This man claims to be a part of this party, but this man..." He pointed to Sam "Says he isn't."

"OK, Tobias, there is a very simple solution to this situation and any like it. First, who rented the room?"

"This man here." He gestured towards Sam.

"The renter of the room is the owner of the room. He can decided who is a part of his party and who isn't. If he says this man is not a part of his group, then he isn't. Even if he's just playing a joke on a friend, the person who paid for the room decides the guest list. You should escort this gentlemen out of the area." I motioned to the party crasher.

Tobias smiled sheepishly at me. "I really didn't need to call in back up on this one, did I?"

I smiled back at my minion. "No, but it's OK. You've only been on the job for a week and you're still learning. I wouldn't have hired you if I didn't think you could do the job." I patted him on the shoulder. "Go ahead and get the crasher out of here. If he gives you any trouble, give Tank a call. He'd love to show you the proper technique for throwing someone out of the casino."

Tobias nodded to me, then grabbed the drunk man by the arm and left the area. Thankfully, the crasher didn't fight him. I turned back to the guys."

"Sorry about that. Tobias is a good kid, just hasn't found his confidence yet. He'll make an excellent security officer some day." I bend down and hugged Billy. "It's good to see you, Billy. How ya doin'?"

"Very good, Kira, very good." Billy replied, returning my hug fully.

I then turned to Jacob, giving him a hug too. Jacob was a part of my family now. Alice gave me regular updates on him like she did with the rest of my vampire family. Surprisingly, he fit right in.

"You good, Jake?" I asked.

"Definitely." He replied. "The family says hi. Alice wanted me to tell you that you'll be visiting them soon and that they are all very excited to see you."

I laughed. Typical Alice.

"Come on, let's go in a say hi to all the guys. There's one in particular that has been very eager to see you." Sam said, ushering us into the dining room.

I was only in the room for a few seconds when I felt it.

My knees buckled and I hit the ground...

To Be Continued...

So, what happened to Kira? I'll try no to leave you hangin' for too long. Let me know what you think.
