"Sometimes a healthy threat can save somebody's life. I didn't have time to explain myself and I didn't know you at all, so I went with the quick and dirty route. For which I don't apologize," Her expression turned grim. "And you don't know where I've come from Mr. Wallace. I've dealt with horrors you can't possibly imagine. Every granny story you've ever heard, every spooky tale you've ever read has a basis in truth. What you see every day is just a veil, a shadow of the dark reality underneath." she nodded to her father. "What we are, what we do is guard against that. I've been in training since I could crawl to deal with it." She shoved up her blouse sleave, revealing a series of nasty scars resembling claw marks running down her arm.  "That came from an animated skelleton, when I was fifteen." she let the blouse sleave fall down, concealing the scars. "I could show you more, but hay, you probably don't want to loose your dinner.  Magic is real, goblins, vampires, trolls, dragons, demons are very real and not just something you read about in a story. In fact every fairy story you've ever heard was at one point based on an actual occurance, they just got garbled down through the centuries."  She laughed, but again it was without humor. "Once you've faced what a deranged Haitian necromancer can do to an orphanage of small children and lived with your sanity intact, then come back to me with the trouble you've promised to deal to me." she nodded to Mickey, who was there when it went down. They had both nearly lost their lives that time.She folded her arms and smiled a little, this time with more warmth than before. "I have no problems taking orders or working with you, in fact most of the time Mickey has more rank than me. And personally, I could care less where anyone comes from or what their background is. I've learned from experience that scum can hide behind double-breasted silk suits and wealth, just as easily as it can hide behind a pair of patched and worn out trousers."You can tell she's not lying, even if you're sceptical of were the scars came from, it's clear from the tone of her voice, her expression and the haunted look in her eyes that she's seen some pretty terrible things, and a little digging could net you the Haitian orphanage story. It was a big deal in the islands a coupla years back, even got some press in the states. It.... was nasty to say the least.ooc(The falling apart man incident mentioned earlier)</blockquote>
