Mandy settled into her seat at a cafe' and ordered a cup of coffee. She looked around for the other reaper that was supposed to be coming.

"Did you tell her?" A whispered voice asked as the trio entered the coffee shoppe. "Of course not." The hooded blonde replied. It was nearly impossible to see the girl's face, but it was lightly sprinkling outside and, with it being so damned cold, it was nearly snowing. A lot of people had hoods on. The even more blonde girl snorted "So she expects only you, and your own self?" "Well, not as if she knew it's not exactly safe anymore." The newly red haired girl who was obviously older (Art least 35) asked. Millie, Daisy, and Diane entered the coffee shop. The minute the little bell that signified her entry tinkled, Mil jumped. "Oh shist!" She mumbled, saying the old version of the curse word. She looked around and finally saw Mandy. She did a slight wave, and motioned for the girls to sit down.

Mandy had a confused face on, but shook it off. "What's with the hoods?" She asked, wondering if it was suddenly un-safe for reapers or something. What was the big deal? Could they......die? No, so why would they be hiding? "And, what are we doing meeting? I thought you guys just handed me a slip or something..."

"Mandy? First I must introduce our guests." Mil undid the hood, warily, and the redhead pulled off her wig. The blonde stayed the same, however. "Daisy Adair, soon-to-be head of your sector here in America." Millie tapped the blonde girl and she smiled. "Diane," Mil nodded to the now black-haired woman. "Who is the biggest figure in reaper-dom. She also happens to be Death." Diane, or 'Death' smiled and began to speak. "I know this is a bit confusing-" she stopped and added "Swetie, I'm not a mindreader but you were your emotions on your face. It's really easy to tell." She continued "But You may be getting a promotion soon." Diane was quickly interupted by Daisy, who spoke with an almost Spring-like voice. "And there's going to be a lot more reapers." Daisy kept going, even though Diane gave her a galre "Because one of our own may not exactly be in the best of circumstances. Thus, the hood."

Mandy was still slightly confused. "What is going on? Why would a newbie get a promotion, and why would there be more reapers?"

Diane smiled wistfully and looked to Mil. "Tell her, Millie." She said acidly. "Rub it in my face, why don't you?" Millie said, grumbling and obviously nervous. "Someone got cauuuggghtt!" Daisy said, dragging out th word.

"How do you get caught?" Mandy asked, raising an eyebrow. "Touch 'em, and they still don't die?"

"No. Touch them, they trip while you touch them, and they fall in front of a train." Diane said. "And to make it worse, she killed the Minister of Magic!" Diane laughed hard.

Mandy let her eyes go wide. "Did you wait till last minute to touch them? I'm guessing someone saw you, and thinks you pushed him, right?" Mandy said, talking fast. "Are you going to hide out or something?"

"Well, I did it in plain sight of the Muggles. And the Wizarding world knows too. So, yes. I am on the run. A source from inside the Prophet," Mil looked at Daisy and smiled "Informed me that a FBI agent has my picture. So yea, I am on the run."

"Can't you come go hide in America, or is everyone looking for you?" She asked, taking another sip from her coffee. "It's not like they can catch you the way you can apperate like sand. Is the ministry looking for you too? Or just muggles?" She was full of questions.

" Apparate? It's dusting, not apparating. And, besides, they've set up anti-apparating spells near some of my old haunts. Pardon the pun. But Dusting cannot be done in an anti-apparating area. I'm hiding here, but people are going to be looking. I'm going to turn myself in as soon as I'm sure that some of my old colleagues won't know or be affected." Mandy, to her knowledge, didn't know about James. Mildred was going to keep it that way. Besides, the fact that she had a boyfriend (Sort of a boyfriend. They'd only met twice and something was strange about him, like she'd known him before) who just so happened to be Head Auror. "Which, hopefully will be very soon. I know someone who is working on the 'Delacray' case. Well, now it's called the 'Lass' case. But I'll probably make sure my colleague isn't working on my case, or working with her. Then, I'll most probably walk to the Ministry and admit everything. I've promised not to keep hiding unless I get a life sentence in Azkaban. Then, Diane here, will get her daughters to write me out. If they can't, I'll simply escape." It felt good to finally say the plan all together. "Until then, I'll be living with Daisy in L.A. She'll be the Head of the Sector until I get back."

Mandy thought through the plan. "How are the colleague in danger?" She asked, stupidly. It wasn't really clear. "And will you say that you are a reaper or something? The ministry knows that reapers exist, right? Or was I dreaming that?" Again, probably a stupid question, but she wasn't clear on some major details.

"Okay. The colleauege isn't in danger. But it would hurt him emotionally if he knew I was arrested. And no. The Ministry doesn't know about Reapers. I sort of did push him, anyways. It was accidental murder, so I'm not using reaping as an excuse." Millie said and for the first time, she actually had a bit of her old power in her voice. "I'm going to turn myself in and, if they decide to put me away for life, which I don't doubt, I'll stay for a total of five months. Unless, of course, those damned dementors decide to screw with a girl who only has a soul." Dementors were basically the biggest fear for any reaper mainly because the bodies were nothing to a G.R. The soul was all they really had and to have an unhappy one due to sucking. It just made Millie shiver. "If someone or something happens, Destiny will know." Diane had a small smile on her face, but wouldn't and couldn't say what she knew. That Destiny couldn't affect books of people in Azkaban. But that wasn't exactly needed info for Millie now, so she avoided eye contact and stopped smiling.

Mandy gulped. "How long would it take them to stop looking for you?" She asked. "And, what about us? Are they going to be looking out for 'murders' or are they just focusing on you?" She shivered with Millie. "So, how will you escape if you do get a kiss?" She asked, ready to hide Millie by just the fact of Azcaban.

" Well, ten years ago, they offered bail. Perhaps they still do that." Not as if Millie couldn't easily erase a jail-trip from her records. "If not, I know someone who could help me break out. She's done it before, and she'll do it again. " She wanted to laugh at Mandy's concern and mild selfishness. "No. Only me. Just be careful for now on, and learn from my mistake."

"So, it looks like everything is under control, you just wanted to brief me or something?" She asked, feeling like they wouldn't all be there just to tell her that. But, that time she hid her emotion, or at least tried to.

"No, that's not all. There's been a lack of security on some items in the G.R.I.M headquarters. " Diane said. "And we need volunteers to protect these certain objects. Mildred suggested you because you may be bored. We need bored people."

"I have a job, but I bet I can take some time off." She offered, "But, I at least need help with an excuse. They are tired of Doctors' notes." She wasn't particuarly thrilled with the prospect of guarding something that, in her mind, didn't really need protecting but it was better than her boss sometimes. "What iteams need protecting? And when?"

"Well, since Mildred will need to take it off: A silver sash. Along with that? Humm, the Book of Life, the Post-It book, and other special items." Death answered.

"Are those the things that tell us who will die?!" Mandy asked in a harsh whisper. "Do you seriously trust pratically a new person with that?" She asked, feeling all three of them killing her....okay doing some other form of something really bad, if she lost all of it. "I don't want to freaking mess up the cosmos or ssomething!"

"Do you think I'm retarded? Of course not. You'll be guarding them along with several qualified people. You are just there so that we can say we are an 'Equal Opportunity Employer'. " Dian said with a giggle. "And you aren't that new anyway." Millie added. "You've been on long enough that I'm surprised you haven't gotten transfered to a permanent assignment. I went to Hogwarts after a week, for FON's sake!"

"Ah. Equal oppertunity employer....gotcha." She frowned at the last part. She wasn't doing bad with her Reaps...she was getting them done. She hoped they didn't think she was a bad reaper....although that might not be that bad..."What happens if a reaper screws up enough?" She asked suddenly.

Diane looked at Millie wit a grim look. Millie returned it and finally sighed before saying: "We burn them in hydrochloric acid and then torture them for all eternity." Diane nodded in slow agreement. That's when Mil burst out laughing. "Kidding. We just send you to Parasidic Disease work in some country like Africa."

Her face didn't fully recover, but she managed to somewhat smile. "Okay, well I don't think I have been mession up..." She looked around. "When do I have to be there again? I think I can be there by tomorrow at the earliest, but I'm not sure. My boss is going to fire me if I'm there for over a month....Maybe I can say I have a bad form of cancer..."
