Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just haven't been feeling the love for this story as of late. I finally got a couple of chapters written. One for Kira and one for Seth. Kira first. They won't move the story along very much, but they are needed to make the important stuff flow. Anyway, drop me a line and let me know what you think. I don't own twilight...

Kira POV

I sat behind my desk, looking sadly at the sheet of paper in my hand. I'm not sure how long I sat there, just staring at it. This single sheet of paper symbolized the end of one life and the beginning of a new one. With a sigh, I place it into a folder and got up to walk to my boss Tony's office.

I had made this exact walk a handful of times in the past with other places, but for some reason this time was different. I had become attached to this place and these people more than usual. Sometimes my life just sucked.

I knocked on Tony's door, entering when I heard a response. Tony sat behind his desk, doing something on this computer. He looked up at me with a smile. Tony was an average man. It was the best way to describe him. He was of average build, with short brown hair, brown eyes and a gentle smile. He wasn't overly attractive, but not overly unattractive either. There was really nothing unusual about his appearance at all. He was the type who could blend in anywhere and take no notice by anyone. His personality was the only spectacular thing about him. He was a people person. He may not spark interest with his looks, but his personality had a way of drawing you in, like a moth to a bug zapper. He had always been a good boss, firm but well liked by almost everyone.

"Kira, please come in. Sit." He motioned to one of the chairs opposite his desk. "What can I do for you today?"

I smiled back at him. Tony really was a nice guy. Frustrating at times, but what boss isn't.

"Nothing wrong, I just stopped by to drop off this." I handed him a paper from the folder I was carrying.

"A letter of resignation?" He glanced at the letter, then up at me. He was surprised and slightly confused. "If I may ask, is there a reason for you to resign?"

"It has nothing to do with the job, Tony. I love it here. I love the people. I just have some personal family situations happening right now. Moving closer to my family will make things easier for me in the long run. I hate leaving this place, but it's just something I need to do." I had said this particular speech so many times that I had it memorized. Really didn't make it any easier, though.

It disturbed me slightly that I was trembling and my voice was shaky. I hadn't realized just how upset leaving Vegas made me. Tony noticed too. His emotions changed from confusion to concern.

"There's nothing wrong with your family, I hope."

"No." I assured him. "It's just complicated. Matters with family always are, I find."

"Too true, Kira, too true." He leaned back into his chair, folding his hands over his stomach. "Well, I hate to lose you. You've been a valuable part of our family, but I understand that sometimes change can't be avoided. You'll be missed, I can tell you that. You're shoes will be hard to fill."

"Actually," I reached into the folder I was still holding and passed a second piece of paper to Tony. He took it, reading it quickly. "I have some thoughts on that."

Tank POV

I walked into the security office at the beginning of my night shift expecting to find Kira busy finishing up her day. She always saved the paperwork for the last hour of the day whenever we worked separate shifts. She liked having one of us available at all times, not sitting in the office doing paperwork. To my surprise, her office was empty. I looked over the shoulder of the man working the cameras, scanning the TV Screens.

"Hey, John, do you know where Kira went off to?"

"She was heading to Tony's office, I think. She seems a little rattled, if you ask me."

I nodded to John and took a seat at Kira's desk, leaning back in her chair. So Kira seemed rattled. She very rarely let something bother her to the point where she was visually off. I sighed, content to sit and wait for her to return. If something was bothering her, I'd have to try and pry it out of her. She hated to talk about her problems, but she always felt better afterwards. Over the last 10 years I've gotten good a getting her to talk. Even better than Sheree. To think, I had hated her when she was first hired. Now it felt like she had always been in my life. She had been there for Sheree when I was shot. Even if I lived for a hundred years, I'd never be able to repay her for sticking with Sheree during that time.

I was deep in thought when Kira entered her office, arms crossed, smiling at me.

"Comfortable?" She joked, closing the door and taking the seat across from her desk.

"Well, actually, I am." I leaned back, pulling my feet up on the desk, resting me hands behind me head. "I like this chair."

Kira smiled at me with a look on her face I couldn't quite place.

"Well, that's good, since that seat will be yours in two weeks. I just gave Tony my two week notice. We both agreed that you should be the one to take over for me."

I slowly returned to a more traditional seated position, my mouth gapping open.

"You're leaving?"

"Yes, and over the next two weeks before I go, you need to pick someone to take over your job, so you can take over mine. Tony said if you need him to hire someone new for the job, he'd start taking resumes."

I just sat there, speechless. Kira was leaving. I couldn't believe it.

"This move has nothing to do with the Kid, does it?" I asked. I had gotten to know Seth quite well over the month or so he stayed in Vegas and I like him. He was a bit young, of course, but he and Kira just clicked. Anyone could tell they were meant for each other, almost like there was some mystical bond between them. As much as I like him, though, if he was the reason Kira was moving on, I'd have to pummel him just a little.

"No...Well, yes, but he's more of a happy bonus than a reason. The truth is I've been thinking about leaving for a couple of months now. It's just time. I love this job and this place. I love the people, but I need to move closer to my family for a while."

After a few minutes of silence where I think neither of us knew what to say, Kira finally spoke up.

"I'm really gonna miss you and Sheree." She stated softly. "You two are the reason I've had such a hard time making this decision."

"You shouldn't go." I replied, looking my friend in the eyes. I could tell she was trying her best not to get emotional. "This is going to kill Sheree. She loves you. Sometimes, I think she loves you more than she loves me." I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. Fortunately, it worked and Kira smiled back at my attempt. "You know she's gonna try her damnedest to stop you."

"I know. And if I hadn't thought it out as long as I have, it might actually work."

I got up from my chair and cornered the desk. I pulled Kira out of her chair and into a hug. "I'm not too much of a man to admit that I'm gonna missed you. You've been a true friend."

"Come on, you big softy. Are you trying to make me cry?" Kira joked, returning my hug. "You know I'll come and visit."

We stayed like that for a minute or so, then I stepped away from her, so I could look her in the eyes. "Your shift is over. You need to get to my house and talk to Sheree about this before she hears it from someone else." I walked back behind the desk and took a seat. "I'm just glad I won't be there when you tell her."

Kira chuckled. "Yeah, there's a real possibility that she'll kill me, rather than let me move."

I laughed full out on that one and Kira joined me. She picked up her things from the locker across the room and waved as she left for the night. I was really gonna miss that crazy chick.

Kira POV

I left my office with a smile on my face. Tank had a funny way of always cheering me up. I sighed audibly to myself as I walk out of the casino to go visit Sheree. I wasn't joking when I said she may kill me for moving.

I hated lying to Tank about me visiting them, but what could I say, 'I'm sorry I can't see you again, since some day you'll notice that I'm not getting any older and that would just open up all kinds of trouble.'

I had contemplated telling them about what I was. In all my 111 years, Tank and Sheree had been the closest friends I had ever had. It may have been a mistake to let them into my heart so deeply, but the damage was done. I still had time to tell them, some day. I just couldn't handle that decision right now.

I let a few tears slide down my cheek when I got to the parking garage. I said it before, but it was worth repeating...my life really did suck sometimes.

So, am I totally boring you now? There's only a few more chapters left, so things are gonna have to happen soon. Remember the first chapter...it's gotta happen before the story ends. Let me know what ya think. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed.
