They...freaked him out. All muddy and barking.

OOC: Help. Me. My dad is ranting about subways and his crappy work pc, as he has been for the past ten minutes...

"Dogs?" Aveira asked, smirking a bit. "Dogs aren't frightening... Granted, I don't like them, but they're not frightening. Fire can hurt you... It's.. uncontrollable..." She remembered... All the fire... It had been her fault and- no. She shouldn't think about that. She could lose it again, like she had before... "Uh..."

Rob shook his head. It didn't matter what anyone said, to Rob, Dogs were Scary. With a capital S. "They can be scary." He argued, not wanting to be wrong. "They could bite you, or bark at you, or give you rabies." Rob said. "But I see what you mean, I guess." Rob glanced up as she got quiet, noting her expression. Ohh no. He could tell she might have a moment. Rob quickly averted his gaze downwards, towards the papers he was reading through. He felt akward, he wasn't really a feelings sort of person.

Warren sat in his office listening to the sound of work NOT being done and replaced by idle chatter. Tapping his quill lightly on his desk he looked out the office door to find Ben apparently taking charge. Maybe I didn't give the kid enough credit. Looking thoughtful for a moment he stood up and walked outside of his office his eyes passing over everyone. "You know...Mr. Campbell, Mr. Amsten and Ms. Lovecraft...these walls are not soundproof." His eyes fell on Robert and he frowned, "Perhaps I should explain myself better for you since Mr. Amsten's helpful hints don't seem to sink in. I want YOU and only you, to look through that stack of files THOROUGHLY for anything that could be considered an irregularity and write it out with a normal quill by hand."

A smirk, and not a nice one appeared on his face as he walked over toward Robert's desk, "And Mr. Campbell, if you think you're finished....I have more. If you finish those you'll redo the whole thing until the end of the day. In short...I want you in this desk...by yourself...until the end of the day. Understood?" He looked at Aveira who stood beside him, "Unless you want the same fate at the other end of the room like school children I'd leave him alone. In fact...you and Mr. Amsten go to Misuse down the hall and find out if they still want that warrant for veritaserum." Standing up straight he crossed his muscular arms and looked down at everyone waiting for them to get moving.

Shaking his head he started to head back to his office when he stopped, "Oh and Mr. Amsten...if you're hunting for a promotion..the way you're doing it isn't going to work." With that he stepped into his office and left his door open in case troublemaker decided that work wasn't his thing.

Seeing Warren appear from within his office, give the other employees in the room a talking too and then return to his office once more Prometheus thought that now would be the best time to see him.
He got up from his desk and straightened the creases his clothes, and fixed his hair from and walked towards Warrens office.
Prometheus rolled his shoulders and clear his throat, then Knocked on Warren's Door.

Aveira watched as Mr. Rodemiere chewed both Robert and herself out, eyes narrowed. Oh, how she'd love to sock him in the face a few times. But.. no. She wouldn't. That was probably the fastest way to get fired around here. "Veritaserum," she murmured. She had a keen disliking for that stuff. "Right..."

Ben smiled the entire time Warren was out. He even let out a little laugh at the last part about a promotion. He knew. the only way he would get a promotion was by Warren stepping down and no one better than Ben stepping up. Like that would happen. Ben looked down at his paper, made one last note and looked up at Aveira.

Ben stood up. "Well, come on then." He fixed his suit and walked to the door. He opened it up and waited for Aveira. "Let's go! This Warrant's important."

Law Enforcement was tough work, even when you weren't working on a case. Apha's displeasure was clearly written on her face as she re-entered the office, working a knot from the end of her hair tiredly. Honestly. She'd already been here some time but she'd never become this tired within a single day.

She nodded politely at the employees she saw already in the office (well, she couldn't say "hello" to them personally - she didn't know their names yet, did she?) as she crossed to her desk, noting the man she'd seen with Nicoli just before he left waiting outside Warren's door. She'd find out what she was supposed to do soon enough - but queueing outside her boss's office was one thing she did not do.

Rob looked up to see the bossman begin chewing them all out...especially Rob. He nodded. "Yessir." He said, deciding that arguing with the boss wasn't a good way to go. Rob whipped out a quill and began scrawling down more notes down onto the parchment in front of him. He wondered if he could stick his hand into his desk and grab some more candy, but decided against it. He could see the boss doing something scary, like freezing his mouth shut. Rob glanced up to see the door open. With a sigh, he looked down and resumed writing. He had been wrong earlier. Desk work wasn't easy. It was downright hard.

Daemon went to his own desk (OOC: He has one right?)taking his pile of files with him, along with the paper and pen he stole from Rob and began working on his own, with the occasional pained glances at Rob. This was going to take forever.

Annabeth could tell this was going to be a long day. She settled herself at her desk and began looking through a stack of parchments.

Warren looked up to make sure trouble maker one was still doing as he was supposed to to find Prometheus at his door. Looking back down at the stack of papers in front of his own desk he sighed, "Haven't seen you around in awhile..." Circling something on the papers in front of him he looked up, "I suppose you'd like me to say welcome back."

"I was just coming to ask, what needs to be done, " Prometheus replied "but it seems someone is not feeling very personable at the moment so I will come back." Prometheus was very taken back but the abrupt reception he had recieved, he was not at all expecting this. After all it was him the helped bring in Alexa......

Warren looked up and at Prometheus and shook his head, "When am I ever personable Mr. Hudson." He circled something else on the papers in front of him and set down the quill in his hand, "Especially when I have tweedle dee and tweedle dumb out there thinking this is a place to fool around instead of working."



OOC: I'm sorry guys. I'm working on either getting the car dealer case switched to us so we can get it rolling again or waking up our Misuse people. Stick around and annoy Warren. It's bound to make for some good rping.

Ben walked into the MLES office and kept the door open behind him so Aveira could come in. He walked over to his desk and made sure everything was in place the same as before. It was a habit he picked up while working in the muggle police force. He turned and looked over at the two desk jockeys who were, surprisingly, working. Ben then turned to Warren's door and heard him having a conversation with an unfamiliar voice. Ben walked to Warren's office and tried to hear whether or not it was okay to walk in. It sounded casual, so Ben decided it was okay.

"Misuse is ASLEEP down there," Ben said to Warren walking in when he was done with his sentence. "I was there for 15 minutes without a soul look at me, nonetheless talk to me. But then, FINALLY, the Division head came in and gave me the information we needed. Yes, they still need the warrant. He also had a couple of questions. 'How much does the Wizengamot need on him before trial?' and 'Do you,' MLES, 'want us to give him a court summons or do you prefer to handle that stuff?' I told him that the veratiserum would probably give them enough information to arrest him... And that the Wizengamot would handle the court summons. But I wasn't sure. I told him to talk to you."

Ben took a look at the person Warren was talking to. Ben adjusted his Fedora and stuck out his hand. "How do you do? Benjamin Amsten."

Ben took a look at the person Warren was talking to. Ben adjusted his Fedora and stuck out his hand. "How do you do? Benjamin Amsten."

"Thanks," Aveira muttered, following behind Ben as she glanced over her shoulder, then around the room. As he offered his hand to the man she didn't recognize, she smiled curtly. "And I'm Aveira Lovecraft, sir. Pleased to meet you." Well, that was the sixth person she met here, and finally she got the whole "manners" thing down.

Warren looked up as Ben and Aveira came into his office and he frowned. "They what?!" Bloody people!. "How do they expect to get any work done if no one actually DOES any work???" He clenched his jaw and pulled out a piece of parchment. "Here..." He wrote out the arrest warrant thoroughly scanning it before handing it to Ben.



"There's their warrant. Everything else we'll handle. Just get me that statement." His eyes fell on Aveira and he raised an eyebrow, "You go too. Sit in on it. I'll probably join you but I need to sort through some stuff. If they don't follow the law...it's not usable so please make sure they do."

"True," was all Prometheus got out before two other Employees entered the Room.

"Prometheus Hudson, nice to meet you Aviera Lovecraft, Benjamin Amsten." He replied with a nod to each as he returned their greeting.
Prometheus stood by and watched as Warren spoke to the other two.

Ben watched Warren fill out the warrant, before taking it. Ben quickly scanned it to get any loopholes in it figured out. Ben turned to Aveira as Warren said she would be going, too. Perfect.

"Alright, Warren," ben said looking back. "I'll get this too them and then me and Aveira will sit in on the interrogation." Ben nodded and looked at Prometheus

"Pleasure," Ben said smiling. He then turned and walked out of Warren's office and went to his desk. He tapped his briefcase with his wand and stuck the warrant inside. He then tapped it again to lock it and made sure he had everything. Case file. Check. Briefcase. Check. Warrant. Check. Wand. Check. Alright... Ben took his briefcase off his desk and started heading to the door. He looked at the 'trouble makers' and approached the door. He waited there for Aveira.

Yes! Something exciting! Or... potentially so. Without a sign of her excitement, she nodded at Warren. "Yes, sir."

Ben took his briefcase off his desk and started heading to the door. He looked at the 'trouble makers' and approached the door. He waited there for Aveira.

"Coming," she said, following Ben. Geez, she had to learn where everything on Level Two was... Or else she'd be tagging along on other people's assignments forever, wouldn't she? Glancing to Rob and Daemon, she decided that it wasn't as bad as paperwork. Nothing was as bad as paperwork.

Once Aveira was with him, Ben nodded, opened the door and walked out. Headed towards Misuse.

Prometheus watched as Ben and Aveira left the office, then he turned back to Warren.
"Pleasantries aside, what do you need me to get done, and done well? "

Warren watched as the two left his office and shook his head. Hearing Prometheus again he looked around thoughtfully. "Um...Until we get that case solved I have nothing really so I guess you can help me go through these files..." How weird usually he would have stuff already laid out but he was running out of things. They needed to hurry up with this. "Sorry..I hate paperwork as much as the next man. I'd say we can go patrol Diagon Alley but someone needs to keep an eye on the two trouble makers out there."

"Well if talent is to be wasted, "Promethues sighed, withdrawing his wand, "Why not waste it together."
With a flick of the wrist he summoned an nice ergonomic office chair, in front of Warren's desk. He sat down with a gentle laugh and a smiled crossed his face, he didnt mind doing paperwork, as long as it get him busy.

Annabeth sat at her deask, running her hand through her hair. SHe had so much on her mind lately. She'd have to focus. Like now, preferrably.


ooc: Egads! I've been gone for so long! I had spinal and hip surgery.

*meep* *has no idea what is going on.*
