Humphrey 1.3 First Day of Work

Here Layla is, dreaming about Carl.

Unfortunately, Layla overslept. All she had time for was quick bowl of cereal before having to change into her uniform and run out the door.

Layla managed to find the police station without too much trouble. Since it was her first day and since she was completely exhausted, she spent most of her first day listening to Carl explaining the procedures of the police station. Now that she was getting to know him a little better, Layla wondered if he was also having trouble sleeping. He looked so . . . pale. She also discovered that Louis Swete did not work at the police station. A man named Sebastian Vanderburg was. Though he was also hot stuff, Layla heard whispers around the police station of his reputation and decided to keep a professional distance. The last three hours of her job were sheer torture, despite Carl's helpfulness. She was exhausted and stressed out, what with getting the house together and keeping her pets happy. The first thing when she got home was stagger to the couch.

Fortunately, Crosby and Buffy had been able to keep themselves pretty entertained throughout the day.

After Layla had a short nap, she had to get up to grab a bite to eat. She had planned to do some laundry and take a shower, but a rain storm began to come down in sheets, complete with lightning, scaring both Crosby and Buffy. Since she had to comfort Crosby and Buffy, she once again didn't get to bed until very late.

With a groan, she fell asleep, not looking forward to work at all, even if Carl Abbot would be there.

When Layla let him in the house, Crosby took an aversion to the television. *Shrugs*

Also, since it's so rainy out all the freaking time, Layla decided to buy a dryer. Unfortunately for her, the only place it really fit was in her bedroom.
