A plain unassuming warehouse. This can't be right, Jaysin Adders thought to herself as she pulled into the parking lot of the nondescript building. She pulled into a spot and parked her car, reaching into her bag and pulling out the paperwork that had the address of Authority Core on it.

She checked the address on the packet and then the address on the map pulled up on her phone and frowned when they matched. This was apparently it. She stepped out of the car and pulled her lab coat on over her tank top and buttoned the middle button. She grabbed her backpack and closed the door on her car, looking up at the building once more before starting for the door.

She walked up the cement path leading to the metal door and tugged on the handle, frowning when the door didn't budge. She blew out a breath and looked around, spotting a camera suspended by the side of the door. She squinted at it and blinked in surprise when a small red light flickered on at the bottom of the device.

"Who are you." A voice crackled through a speaker she hadn't noticed beside the door.

"Jaysin Adders. I'm supposed to be interning for Authority Core." She said looking back up at the camera, frowning when there was silence and the light on the camera clicked off. She huffed out an annoyed breath and turned to leave as she heard the sound of a lock clicking.

"Little pig little pig let me in." Jayse mumbled pulling on the heavy metal door and stepping through.

"I thought you said it was a man." She heard a voice mutter as she stepped inside and heard the lock click behind her. She watched a guard, easily standing at close to 7 feet tall watching her walk through the hall way a machine gun strapped across his front and several hand guns holstered at his hips.

"Her name is fucking Jason you thought she was a man too." Another voice hissed as she stepped around a corner and saw two men standing near a desk. Both were dressed in white lab coats just like herself and both dwarfed her 5 foot frame by at least a foot and a half.

"As you can see I am not in fact a man. Is that going to be a problem?" Jayse chuckled smiling at both of them as she walked up on them and they at least had the decency to grin at her.

"I'm Doctor Hunter Helmsly and this is my colleague Doctor Randy Orton." The shorter of the two said coming toward her with his hand outstretched.

"Jayse Adders." She said shaking the hand offered to her, surprised at how strong the doctor was.

"Randy." The other Doctor said, his blue eyes sparkling as he took in her slight form while offering his hand to her.

"So what made you study to be a geneticist Jayse?" Hunter asked the small woman, his eyes sweeping from the top of her auburn hair pulled into a ponytail to the button on the lab coat she had buttoned under her breasts so the black sneakers on her feet beneath her jeans.

"I've been fascinated with the way things work since I was a child." Jayse said hiking her backpack higher on her shoulder. "I've always loved learning how things are made up, how you can combine different things and come up with something totally different, totally unique."

"Good good." Hunter says under his breath before turning and heading around the other side of the desk.

"Paper work paper work." Jayse heard the blond man mutter under his breath as he shifted things around on the desk and opened and closed all the drawers several times. She looked around seeing another huge metal door at the end of the hall way, also guarded by a seven foot tall behemoth armed to the teeth and for the first time wondered at the kind of research they conducted here.

"Aha!" Hunter exclaimed holding up a folder that Jayse could have sworn was sitting right on top of the desk before motioning her forward.

"Standard forms. You must sign the NDA before we allow you to enter our facility. The rest can be filled out and retuned to us at the start of your shift tomorrow." He said opening the folder and setting the NDA on the desk in front of her. The thing had to be at least ten pages long, and Jayse skimmed it before signing her name at the bottom.

"Welcome to the Authority Jayse." Randy said putting his arm around her shoulders. "Shall we give her a tour?"

"Indeed." Hunter said before waving at the guard that was standing by the front door. "Our guards, Kane and Taker are top notch. Remember that should you get any ideas to steal from us."

"Understood." Jayse nodded warily as Hunter smiled brightly again.

"Excellent." Hunter said moving out from behind the desk and over to the metal door. The huge guard punched some numbers into a control panel and then swung the door opened when the lock hissed. Hunter stepped though and Jayse hesitated until Randy put his hand on the small of her back and pushed slightly giving her no choice but to move though after Hunter.

She took in the hall way, lined with bared doors, housing animal of all kinds. Wolves, lions, tigers, rabbits, monkeys, alligators. All in cages that were housed behind the barred doors.

"Part of your duties here will be caring for these animals." Randy said watching as she stopped in front of the cell door that housed a beautiful white bangle tiger.

"Are they safe?" She asked looking at the name plate on the cell door that read 'Ambrose'.

"Mostly. They are animals after all." Randy said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Speaking of animals how do you think they are going to react to our new tech being female?" Hunter chuckled darkly stopping in front of yet another heavy metal door.
