Mag walked into the bedroom, her smile slowly disappeared once she saw Ray with the baby. "What are you doing?"
Josh held Con close, not wanting to let her go. "I-I'm so happy for you to be alive..."
Cynthia slowly laid Jax down and sighed. "Kids these days..."
Hal looked at his gun, smiling widely. "Do you want to know something?" He spoke to a man on the other side of his desk. "I do not like being blatantly betrayed by my staff... In all essence, I find it an insult." He leaned closer to the man. "Do you like being insulted?"
The man was quite obviously afraid. "N-no sir..."
Hal smiled. "So you see what I mean." He leaned closer to the man. "when one of my staff insults me, then we have a problem... What should I do to problems?"
The man gulped. "R-remo-"
"Remove them, that's right." Hal interrupted. "So, I think I should remove the problem." He raised the gun to the mans head. "I apologise but out contract has now been terminated."
The man started crying. "P-please no!"
Hal sighed. "Again, I apologise." He pulled the trigger and the bullet burst through the man's head.

Con giggled. "I'm happy to be alive." She kissed his cheek.

A slender bat female with beautiful wide wings that extended from under her arms walked into Hal's office with two cups of coffee. She was timid and nervous, but loyal to Hal no matter how frightening he got. "S-sir?"

[The Magic Otter]

Hal stood and wiped a small amount of blood off of his face. "Yes?" He smiled, acting like the last few minuets never happened. Seeing the coffee he sighed. "Oh~! Sorry, I completely forgot about the coffee" he began cleaning his desk of the blood. "Please, put them on the desk."
Josh blushed and began to stand uncomfortably. "Umm... I... Err..."

[Aconitum]

The female, known as Kitten around here, walked in and set the coffee. She kept her eyes averted to the floor, refusing to meet her employers gaze.

Con raised a brow. "What's the hatter?"

[The Magic Otter]

"Hey... Kitten?" Hal spoke tenderly. "Please look at me..."
Josh looked at Con, still blushing. "What d-do you mean?"

[Aconitum]

Con smacked her forehead. "I mean, what's the matter?"

Kitten jumped and did exactly what she was told. "Y-yes sir. I'm sorry sir." Kitten studied Hal's face with a light blush.

[The Magic Otter]

Josh shook his head. "N-nothing..." He tried to hide his blushing face.
Hal sighed. "No, I should be the one apologising..." Hal walked to the other side of his desk, where Kitten was. "You did not need to see this."

[Aconitum]

Con sighed and stood. She too josh's shoulders into her paws and kissed him lightly.

Kitten began fidgeting with her wings. "P-please, sir... I-I.... it.... I should've been used to it by now."

[The Magic Otter]

Josh returned the kiss deeper, closing his eyes and bringing Con closer.
Hal picked up one of the coffee cups and offered it to Kitten. "Here, have a drink to calm you down."

[Aconitum]

Con sighed against the kiss.

Kitten nodded and took the cup in her slender paws. "Y-yes sir." She sipped at it.

[The Magic Otter]

Hal smiled tenderly. "You know, you can call me Hal." He picked up the other cup and drank from it.
Josh moved backwards —towards the bed— while kissing Con, his hands traveling uncontrollably down her back.

[Aconitum]

Con pulled away from josh and shook her head. "W-we can't get carried away like that again."

Kitten nodded, letting her ears drop. "I-I'm sorry sir."

[The Magic Otter]

Josh lowered his head. "I-I'm... Sorry... It's just... I thought..." He looked into Con's eyes. "I-is it because Missis Lovien says not to?"
Hal giggled a little, before returning to his serious look. "Hey, has any other members of staff touched you?" He moved closer. "Because I can fire them without haste..."

[Aconitum]

Con shrugged. "Daddy would have wanted me to stay out of trouble."

Kitten flinched a bit and almost bolted for the door. She shook her head. "N-no, sir. No one has laid a finger on me." She lied. Kitten didn't want to lie to her employer, but she also didn't want anyone fired or possibly killed on her behalf. In truth, the greasy looking Rat who called himself Buck Wild had been harassing her ever since she started working for Hal two weeks ago.

[The Magic Otter]

"Oh..." Josh lowered his head again. "Umm... I... I w-won't tell..."
Hal placed a paw on Kitten's shoulder. "Please do not lie to me... Tell me the truth. Who did it and what did they do?"
