All Over a Bloody Library Book

[Levethix'moxt]

"Oh this is not good." muttered the tan man as he paced the room he was in. The grimore was stolen, and with it, all the potential power within including the only method he had of getting out of this world in one piece.

Levethix'Moxt had come to this world on the recommendation of one of his colleagues. The magic here was both interesting, and exotic. It was also unfortunately very well well hidden. He had been forced to borrow one of the grimores from the Celestial Library to bolster his own less then stellar skill in divination.

And now it was gone. Lifted from his bag when he hadn't noticed, along with all the magic, both in lore, and innate to it, that it possessed.

The job was a bust, and now he needed help. Not only was that old magic tome the only shot he had back home, the kind of power it possessed could alter the shift of balance of power here beyond imagination.

his only hope was this 'detective' was as good as he hoped they were...

[Alexi]

Alexi blew out a breath in boredom. This had to be the stupidest idea she'd ever had. For some reason though the paranormal world came to this moronic detective for help. He couldn't find a horse in a barn in her opinion. He got flat out lucky or he took credit for someone else's work. Why was she here again? Ohhhh yeah because the Almighty told her she needed to be. Well here purpose for being here better be made apparent soon or she'd be killing one mortal detective. She'd be doing the world a favor. When Levethix'Moxt came in she'd be the first thing he'd see. She had dyed her hair a black color with purple streaks. Her eyes had contacts that were a vivid purple. She wore bright red lipsticks. Her outfit was black leather skirt and corset. Her boots were high heeled and stopped just below her knee. She had her legs crossed on the desk as she filed her long red nails. She popped and chewed gum. Most men would ignore her face and instead either be held spellbound by her legs that if the skirt inched any higher would probably show whether she had anything under it or the corset that her breasts looked like they were about to spill out of. If not that then the hair was a big distraction or the odd color eyes.

Lev walked in and blinked at the sight of her, "Oh... hello?" he tried experimentally, his accent was strong, but she couldn't place it. His own features were rather exotic, a deeply tanned skin, with silver hair, and near red brown eyes, but he was dressed casually, brown V neck jacket over a green shirt, blue jeans, and laced leather shoes. He wasn't quite short at five ten, and what little of his build was visible hinted at fitness but nothing more. His eyes darted over her body in an instant, but locked firmly on her eyes, looking confused. "Are you the detective?" he questioned.

[Alexi]

Alexi laughed the sound husky with amusement. She was using disguising her voice as well and when she spoke the higher pitched southern drawl was annoying.
''Well aren't ya tha sweetest thang. Nah sugah. That'd be ole Burt. He isn't in now but would ya like to wait honey? I'm sure he won't be long. Ya just have a seat right over there. Would ya like some coffee sweetie?''
That voice did not go with those looks. She looked like a cross between some goth chic and a hooker. Yet her voice was all Southern belle. Mixed with the looks she was a contradiction and something irritated him about her look. He would have a difficult time deciding what it was.

[Levethix'moxt]

"Yes please," he answered nodding his head somewhat. "to both," he added in recalling the second question.

He looked over the room.

[Alexi]

Alexi swung her legs off the desk and stood. Without the heels there was no way she was over 5'4". She walked over to the coffee pot and poured him some into a mug.
"Cream and sugah with that coffee?"
The office was minimal. Her desk, a sofa, a few filing cabinets, an old refrigerator, and a rickety table that held the coffee supplies. The carpet looked like it needed to be replaced and there were stains on the desk. The only other thing in the room was another door that said private.

[Levethix'moxt]

''Yes please... Mr Burt often does cases involving sorcery?'' he questioned.

[Alexi]

She brought him the sugar bowl and cream as well as a spoon.
"Burt does a lot of cases sugar. I don't mind the details. I'm just here to answer the phone and great the clients. I don't know anything about sorcery. Don't believe in it myself. Why ya ask?"

[Levethix'moxt]

''Just that you have a rather odd amount of magic in you.'' he explained casually, ''You don't normally see that level of power untrained. I was hoping that your relation to Burt implied he'd dealt with this sort of thing in the past.''

[Alexi]

That was odd. Most people couldn't sense Alexi's powers. She pretended she didn't know what he was talking about.
"Well sugar I don't rightly know what ya mean."
Just then the door opened and an old heavyset balding man came in.
B:"Allie where is my coffee and messages? Hurry up and bring them to me."
He headed for the door marked private.
"Burt ya have a client."
