The door had said this was a laboratory, but Kat found the room
odd for a lab, though the old brown tables and the old library-like atmosphere
was probably suited to a guy who studied word history. Cluttered along the edge
of the long counter, there were beakers, microscopes, an array of instruments
from tweezers to little slides and some sort of machine that looked like it
belonged in a science laboratory, but Kat had no idea what it did. She’d failed
science in high school and never went to college. There’d been no point. Ever
since she was little, she wanted to be a photographer. She deduced easily that
the drawers had to be filled with old texts and maybe the equipment was used for
carbon dating or whatever it was these types of men did.
‘I don’t work for you.’ Kat set her camera bag on the table.
Thinking to catch movement on the floor, she glanced down. It was nothing.
‘Sorry, what was that?’
‘I don’t work for you,’ Kat repeated.
Vincent stopped, standing very still as if it took him a moment
to process what she said. Slowly, he turned. ‘You can’t quit on me. I’ve had too
many quit on me this year.’
‘But—’
He held up his hands and came back to where she waited by the
door. As if seeing her for the first time, he blinked, his eyes roaming over her
face and clothes. ‘Ah, wow, you’re…’
Kat waited. Beautiful? Pretty? Sexy? Dateable? This was more like
the reaction she was used to from men.
‘…ah, different,’ Vincent said, not exactly in pleasure. He
frowned at the pink in her hair. ‘Did that happen here? Did you have a chemical
spill? I hope you filled out the proper paperwork. I’m not sure what I have
around here that would cause such a reaction in human hair, but is why you’re
quitting?’
Kat tensed. Different? She was different? This nut job was one to
talk. He didn’t even know his own assistant’s name or what she looked like.
‘Here,’ he reached for his wallet. ‘I’ll pay to get your hair
fixed, only don’t quit. Please. I’m so close to a breakthrough, I can feel it.
I’ve got too much going on right now and the college won’t send me another
assistant until the fall semester.’
‘I coloured my hair like this on purpose,’ she said, dryly.
