"Um hello?" Sapphire said walking out from the back room. Seeing the money on the counter, she knew someone had come in. She didn't know who but she took the money and dumped it in the cash register. When she looked up again, no one was there. "I swear I heard two voices out here." She said, then sighed. "So much for trying to get customers." She slumped back into her chair to make sure that if they ever come back, she'd be there to actually see them walk in.

/Freddy returns!
"Wait a ******** minute." Frederick said as he quickly backed up at stared at the girl from the outside of the store. He managed to get a glance of her, but noticed a serious and absurd change. That person, who he assumes is the store owner, is not a 6'4'' black lesbian! No, no no! None of this made sense at all. That would mean that the black lesbian, who clearly worked for the CIA and her sister is responsible for 40% of Nirvani's crime, and probably controls the drug trade here (well he is odd enough to believe the truth) is no longer in charge of this store. The only explanation for a lesbian black woman, who are well known for loving flowers, would leave her store to a blue haired girl that reminds him of Mana from Rune Factory 2 is if she was murdered, and this girl took it as her prize! That or.. or something like that.. either way, it peaked his interest. The flowers can wait, stopping a possible axe murderer can't.
Frederick stayed outside of the store, face pressed against the glass as he started at Sapphire. His parrot even had his head against the glass and stared at her.

Sapphire was just about to go back to reading her book when she noticed a boy, probably older than her, staring at the shop window. Now thats just odd. She thought. Was he one of the customers that came in earlier? There is flowers in his hand so he might be. And he's staring right at me. Like he saw some weird thing on my face or something. Creepy. Its not every day you see a guy staring at you with his face pressed against the shop window. She quietly put down her book and mouthed, Can I help you?

Frederick waved, but kept his face against the window for a bit more. Once she mouthed something to him, he took a step back. Frederick mouthed, and sign languaged back;Hello there female who I do not know at this time, what happened to the black lesbian who used to work here? Did she complete her mission and begin operation Zombie Nirvani, like my cousin Neil G. Murrow, from the Nirvani Post, wrote about? Or is there something else that I am currently missing. Hold on a moment. Why am I mouthing and sign languaging this when I could simply walk in there, and say all of this in person? I am one ridiculous and absent minded b*****d, that's what I am. So please hold on a moment, I'll be there in about seven seconds. Well, seven to thirty, depending on how long I ramble. Damn Frederick and his love of sign language! Not his fault he wanted to flirt with (he never did, since it is Frederick) mute girls in high school, something about a girl who can't talk...
Freddy walked back into the store, and quickly headed to the counter, stared at her for a moment, and slowly narrowed his eyes. "What did you do to the CIA agent? Are you a Russian? Or whoever else the Americans are enemies with? Like the Chinese? Or the Australians? Or the Mexicans?! Or was it the Canadians?! Are you Canadian?! Where in Canada? I'm from Toronto if you can't tell by how damn good looking I am." That or it's just the Murrow men who have outstanding good looks. Just look at his big nosed twiggy cousin! Or his husky harry cousin! "I am Frederick K. Murrow, local paranormal investigator, have my card." He placed a card on the counter quickly, he did have a lot of those.

Sapphire can't really understand mouth language or sign language, but she tried her best to understand what he was trying to say, and mouthed and sign languaged back, You mean the last store owner? I have no idea. I just took over the job since no one else was going to. I don't even know the last store owner, except shes called Ginger and have some weird sisters. But anyway, why don't you just walk inside the store so I could understand you better? Wait, you're already doing that, okay never mind. Sapphire was never an expert at mouth language or anything like that, but hey, that guy was doing it, so she better do it back.
When he walked in, he was staring at her again. She stared right back. When he began to talk, she replied, "CIA agent? I did nothing and know nothing. Why Ginger quit her job, I don't know. And yes I'm Canadian or at least I was in Canada before I came here. I was in Cambridge. That small city in Ontario." It didn't look like he was waiting for an answer to that Canadian question but she answered back anyway. "I'm Sapphire." She said. She picked up the card. "Paranormal Investigator? I have no idea what that is. And what are you doing here? To ask what happened to Ginger? Or what?"

"So, you're not a neo-nazi?" Frederick asked. Interesting. She's from Canada too, that means she can't possibly be a commie. "Whaaaaaaaaat?! You don't know what a Paranormal Investigator is!? Well, you know what the paranormal is, right? Yeah, well, I investigate that. Right now, I'm just investigating why a secret agent would give up her flower shop to a Canadian..." He would expect her to burn it down and maybe cause it to explode. He figured movies by Michael Bay were perfect reenactments of explosions, seeing as warehouses that are on fire somehow manage to explode. "Sapphire, EH? That's.. actually a really cool name. Pretty too. Your parents must be <******** awesome to name you something like Sapphire. I'm named Frederick, not as cool. Kind of weird. I don't like Freddy though, it's kine of like me calling you Sappy. Unless you like Sappy." Who would possibly like that name?
"Well then, Sapphire- seriously. REALLY cool name. Sexy too, it's like the kind of name a really good looking pop idol has.. that or a stripper, but you don't like slutty enough to be a stripper. Not that I'm not saying you can't be stripper if you choose to, just saying that you don't necessarily fit that criteria. You know, not hot enough, more sweet girl next door kind of cute, not one night stand in a bar kind of hot like strippers tend to be. Totally different categories of beauty really. So with all of that said, I'm going to assume you're a pop idol, WELL THEN POP IDOL SAPPHIRE, what are you REALLY selling?" Frederick figured that was no possible way that someone could honestly make a living selling only flowers. The CIA agent made her money through CIA stuff, and her sister grew pot in the basement, so he figured Sapphire would be doing the same! She must be a CSIS agent! Or growing illegal narcotics in her basement.

"No I am not a CIA agent or whatever. And thank you for liking my name. I don't like the name Sappy either. And I won't call you Freddy if you don't call me Sappy. Although Frederick is a nice name also. It reminds me of someone I once knew." Someone thats half way across the world. He was her cousin who she hardly ever got to see since he's traveling too much with his family.
Her face became this puzzled, blank look when he started talking about strippers, which she was not fond of. "Uh thanks on my category of beauty? I wouldn't really want to be a stripper anyway. Not really interested in doing any "entertainment stuff." And I am SO NOT a pop idol! Do I look like one to you? Aren't I more of the quiet type? The ones that do not sing? But anyways, back to what you were asking, I am selling flowers. Yes flowers. For a living. While my brother is at the woodworks and my sister just got kicked out of the tailor shop job 'cause it closed down or something." Seeing the look on his face, she added, "Just know I am NOT whatever you're thinking right now. Speaking of jobs, what is Citrus going to do? Shes out of the tailoring job. Shes still young. She can't own anything. Wonder what shes planning to do now.

"Well, you could be. In japan maybe. They have the cute silent types as pop idols, then again you're Canadian..." Well there goes that theory. "Wait a minute, the.. the tailor shop closed?" But Bianca owned the tailor shop! That would mean that she decided to fly back to her home planet. "I.. ah.. see..." She was cute too! Real cute, kind of like Usagi cute, only less little sister cute, and more weird foreign exchange student that hardly talks because she doesn't speak English very well kind of cute. This is why he never had a girlfriend before! Cute girls always decided to go to their home planet before he could ask them out. Though.. though he never gets around to that.. and when he does they reject him and his eccentricity.
"..W..well.. that sucks. If your sister needs a job though, my business needs an assistant. She just needs to know how to drive, be willing to be used as bait, and smoke a lot of cannabis with a dog." Not enough shaggy-types around with their Great Danes. "Erm, the last two aren't really requirements as long as she's willing to be bait, and can drive, oh and know how to use a computer, like.. like type junk onto our website..."

"I think so. I passed by it the other day and it was all dark inside. Plus my sister was no longer a worker there so that proves that it might have closed or something. I don't know the details." Then again, what happened to Bianca? Citrus told me her name, but she never really met her. Maybe she moved? Quit? No more clothes to sell? Who knows? Citrus is probably walking up and down the house searching through desks and drawers, searching, but not really looking for anything. That's exactly what she does when she has nothing to do. It creates a mess of things and then I have to clean it all up afterwards.
"Uh..well. Shes a bit too young. See, shes only like 14. And I don't think she knows how to drive, and even if she did, it would be illegal. Speaking of that, is she even old enough to work? But anyways she likes to help out and can't drive so I don't know if she can apply for that job." Two more years and then she can, but judging from her personality, it doesn't seem like she'll want to learn, but then again who knows? Shes unpredictable.

Sapphire looked up from writing when she heard someone's voice. It was a young man that looked probably a bit older than her. "Um, yes I am the owner. How may I help you?" She returned his smile, and dropped her pen and paper back into a drawer in the counter. She was writing down how many types of flowers are in the shop and how many she needs to replace that had withered. Of course, she did water them everyday and all, but sometimes not all flowers can make it. She already had 7 flowers that needed to be replaced tomorrow or at least sometime this week. Those flowers were still on the shelves and not yet taken down. She was hoping her customers won't notice them just yet, since they were all brown and drooping and not looking very nice.

"Oh so you're my new assistant? Welcome to the flower shop then. My name is Sapphire. Its nice to meet you Auguste." She shook his hand and kept up her smile. "Well, I guess the first thing you could do is help me take down these dying flowers?" She pointed to the ones on the top shelf. "I was so busy with the shop lately, I hadn't had time to take them down. I was hoping people won't notice them yet, since they make a bad impression of this shop.

Sapphire couldn't help but smile at Auguste wearing the apron. She didn't actually mean to order those kinds of aprons but then again, it was cheap. She couldn't remember for sure, but it was somewhere below ten dollars. And besides, opening your very own shop costs money. She didn't really mind the design on it though, since she usually didn't much care for appearances.
"I'll be there to help you in a sec." She took one of the flowery aprons from the back and wrapped it around her waist, walking over to begin helping Auguste take down the flowers from the other shelf. "I guess it is, but I did managed somehow." She smiled to herself as she answered his comment. "Oh and thats a good idea you just mentioned! I didn't thought about that before. I'll get started on it right after I finish with these flowers. You can help me too if you want." A flower listing did be good for this shop, since she herself, sometimes forgot what some of the flowers are called.
