1127 Words
Tiffany's POV
We have dinner at Carlos's house.
"Aww! I cannot eat human food." Jasper rolls his eyes.
"We know. So here is your food to drink." Carlos said and he throw a bottle of blood at Jasper which the latter catch in speed.
"Hey, don't do that next time! It's a good thing that I caught it in time. It might be spilled otherwise." Jasper said. We laugh at him.
" He just testing your speed ability. Ha! Ha! Ha!" I said.
"Your not funny." Jasper scowl.
"Ok, let's have dinner," Carlos said.
At the table, John and I sit. Jasper just stands at the corner of the door drinking blood in the goblet.
"Hey, you two, eat human food even you are both vampires?" Jasper asks.
"Yeah, " I said while John was still quiet ignoring him.
"Why? Is this your first time to see vampires eating human food?" I ask.
"No. It's not the first time I've seen it. I see some vampires eat human food. You know." Jasper said, sipping his food from a goblet.
"So how do think about vampires like them who eat human food?" Carl says. He is Carlos's son.
"Oh, fascinating! They are fascinating how did they do it just to mingle with humans and of course, you, wolves." He said. Carl and I look at each other smiling.
"Maybe you can try, like what John did." Claire, Carlos's daughter says.
"Oh, no, no. Never mind." Jasper refuse.
"But you said it's fascinating, yes?" Claire asks. He clears his throat.
"Yes, I said it, it's fascinating but it didn't mean I have to do it." Jasper reply.
"Oh, you are kj." Claire rolled her eyes and stuff her mouth with food while Jasper spat his drink.
"Eeewww! the wolves said in unison. John and I laughed at their reaction.
"Oh, sorry! What is kj?" Jasper asks.
"Boring," Carl said.
"Kj means killjoy. You are a killjoy. You are no fun. You are boring." Claire said and continue eating her food.
"Hey! Hey! That is enough, Claire. You finish your food. You have a lot of homework to do." Clarissa said.
"Enough joining conversation with older people," Carlos said to his kids.
"Yes, father." The two both said.

After our dinner, Carlos leads us to his office room.
"So, what we will be talking about, Carlos?" I ask.
"Well, I have three good officers that can help us track the criminals." Carlos starts. I arch my brow. The two seats are on the couch separately on each corner like they are waging wars with each other.
"Ok. What is your plan?" I ask him.
"Well, you will be an officer in Seward Park. I prepare your documents today. I need you to pair them so that each pair can track one group of the three clans." Carlos explain.
"Ok. Good. But are they human?" I ask.
"The two are humans but the other police officer is a werewolf," I said.
"Oh, ok. So John and I will be your officers tomorrow." I said.
"Yes." Carlos reply.
"Hey, what about me?" Jasper asks.
"Of course you are secret undercover," Carlos said. Then he open his drawer and give us patches, the three of us, and a brown envelope which we pull the documents inside and read it. It is our information as a police officers now.
"Wow! This is it! Hey, do I have a salary here?" For the first time since we were come out from the dungeon to pick up Jasper, John talk.
"Yes, of course. You have your salary. I include you three to our payroll." Carlos said. And John is very happy with this news.
"Did you hear him, Tif, I am a police officer now. I have my job now and send money to my family. Oh, thank you, God!" He cheerfully said.
"And I am secret undercover. Yes! One of my dream jobs is come true, at last! Ha! Ha!" Jasper said. We both look at them with smiles. I was surprised by their revelation.
"Ok, now that this matter is settled. You have to report the three of you early in the morning to my office. You will meet there also your teammates and we will make a plan for our operation." I said.
"Yes, sir!" The three of us said in unison.
********
Early morning, the two are excited about their new jobs. John can't help to be excited with the uniform that Carlos bought for him and to me which I am wearing. I notice that Jasper has a scornful look. Looking outside the window. I tap his shoulder.
"Hey, why is that look early morning, huh?!" I ask. He just glance at me and plopped his shoulder at the edge of the window. Still silent. I sigh in a deep breath.
"Last night you are happy with this arrangement. Now, you are not happy, anymore? Do you want to quit now?" I ask.
"No, it's not what you think. I like this new job of mine. Is that...is that...well, " he said.
"Is that what?" I ask him. He looks down at the ground.
"Well, is that," then he sniffled. I am perplexed by his behavior.
"Why are you crying?" I ask. Then the blood of tears falls from his eyes.
"Because you have uniforms and I, I don't have?! Hu!Hu! Carlos is not fair!" Then he cried out loud which the birds from the tree flew. I gaped at his reaction and blink my eyes. Don't know what to say.
"You are undercover, so I am not requiring you to wear your uniform today because I am worried somebody can see you and report it to your leader," Carlos said, appearing to us. Jasper stops crying seems to think about what Carlos said. He wipes his blood tears with his hand. I give him a handkerchief to use and he accepts it to wipe his messy bloody face.
"Oh, I think you are right." He said after a moment.
"Don't worry, I bought you this," Carlos said and throw the uniform inside the plastic sealed. Jasper's eyes grow big in surprise.
"Oh, my uniform! This is for me? You are not kidding me, aren't you?" Jasper asks Carlos.
"He is not kidding, you i***t!" John said. Giving him a scornful look. Jasper squinted his eyes to him and he make his tongue out. John rolls his eyes. And do the same to him. Carlos and I look at them. They are like kids who make silent war if not bickering from each other.
"Yea, it's for you but I advise you not to wear that always, maybe on some occasions but not today. Ok?" Carlos said. Jasper happily nods.
