Muriel Murphy
Muriel was up a little bit earlier than usual because her father wanted to be sure that she made it to work on time. She would usually be walking the beach this time of morning but her father was waiting for her downstairs in his work van, which was embarrassing for her to be caught dead in. Muriel placed on the appropriate uniform and walked down the stairs and outside, getting in the passenger seat of the van, strapping on her seatbelt and folding her arms over her chest. Her father, Tristan, just simply looked at her with a smile. "This is going to be the best thing for you." He said and ended those words with a smile as he backed out of the driveway and headed towards the aquarium.
Once there, she saw Luke and immediately unstrapped herself and fled out of the van before it even came to a stop, forcing her father to slam on brakes. She gave Luke a big hug, giggling happily as he raised a brow. "Well, hello there." He said as Muriel broke the hug with a smile. "Hey. You ready to work?" She asked him. Luke shrugged his shoulders then eyed Mr. Tristan, offering him a wave but he just looked at him and scoffed. "He still thinks we go together, huh?" Luke asked with a raised brow while looking at Muriel, who was nodding her head. "But he'll be alright." She said while walking into the aquarium with Luke and seeing a new dark haired male, wearing their exact same uniform. "Surprise I haven't seen Sebby." She looked up at Luke then stared right in front of her, seeing the red headed devil before her eyes.
"Hello there, Sebby." Sebby walked over towards Muriel and Luke then introduced them to the new recruit, Erickson. Muriel and Luke looked at each other with raised eyebrows then looked at Erickson and offered him a hello then walked past him. "So, what are you thinking?" Luke asked Muriel as she looked back at Erickson then up at Luke. "I mean, he's cute but he'll never go for a girl like me." She sighed at the end of those spoken words then went off to work her station. It was only a whole hour until they opened and it was an extremely beautiful day outside - No clouds in the sky. Today, was going to be magical. She could feel it.
Harvey Gold & Molly Dorsey
It was a usual morning for him. He was always in his shop early, checking inventory of his collectibles and new items. He walked over to his office in the back and made sure everything matched up. And considering that he was the only one working at his shop right now, of course everything should be in line. Harvey went to the front and stared out of his window pane then flipped the sign from closed to open. It didn't really take long for someone to enter after that transaction and it was someone he really didn't want to see, the mayor, Molly Dorsey.
"Ah, what do I own this pleasure, Madam Mayor?" He asked towards her while walking behind the counter and placing his hands upon the glass. "Stop talking." She insisted of him as her heels clicked softly against the rugged floor, her outfit today was all black and her hair was straightened, cascading down to her mid back while her lips were stained with pink lip gloss. "I am here for a favor." Her lips pursued in a smirk as Harvey raised a brow. "What is the favor?" She walked closer the counter now and rested herself against it. "I need for you to go down to the bakery and get some delicious treats from that little precious Scarlet and bring them to the town meeting tonight. Think you can handle that?" She spoke softly but firm.
Harvey nodded his head then looked up at her. "Sure. I can do that for you." He said as Molly smiled. "Good. I'll see you tonight then." With those words said, she turned around and scurried out of the pawn shop and immediately called over towards the bakery. "Yes, may I speak to Scarlet, please?" Once Scarlet got on the phone, Molly would give her order of various breads, already cut up and cookies. "I'll send Harvey, Mr. Gold to you, to come and pick them up. Okay? Alright. Bye now." She hung up the phone and continued her trek towards her office.
Harvey felt like as if he had made a deal with the devil and boy was he paying the ultimate price. He couldn't persuade Molly as easily as he could someone else but one day, he was really going to get her just like she got him. He could bet on it with anyone and Harvey always wins his bets.
