Beth was sitting next to Josef in his private office at Kostan Industries.

There was a stream of women coming in for interviews and usually being sent out in under 60 seconds.

After a half hour of this Josef was losing his temper.

“Beth you have to be more reasonable.”

“Josef, they all look like hookers.”

“They do not. That’s typical freshie attire.”

“Exactly. Each and every one of them looks like they could have come from your house.”

“What was wrong with Ginger?” Josef asked. “She was dressed very sedately.”

“She looked too much like me.”

Josef laughed. “Ahhh, you’re going to be like Coraline. He can only have ugly freshies.”

“Don’t you dare compare me to her. “ Beth growled. Josef actually looked to see if she was still human or if fangs were coming down.

“I just……I agree with you Josef. Mick needs “live” blood and I can’t be the only source. He won’t hire anyone so I have to do it. I just haven’t liked any of these girls.”

Josef yelled out “Next!” His assistant buzzed him. “I don’t think you want me to send the next two in.”

“Don’t think, just do! Next!”

An attractive blonde came in a waitress uniform.

“What’s your name?” Josef asked.

“Sookie, I serve drinks at…”

“Out! Josef yelled. He looked at Beth. “All right she was a definite Fangbanger. Send in the next one.”

A brunette barely out of her teens came in. Her long brown hair was flowing and Josef had to admit she had an interesting scent.

“What’s your name?”

“Bella. I’m from Forks…”

“Out! Out! Out!!”

Beth sighed. “Do you see what I mean? There’s no one.”

“Well, I wasn’t going to do this but we can go behind Door Number 2.” Josef said.

“What’s Door Number 2?”

He buzzed his assistant. “Call up Michael, Peter, John, Frederick, William and Victor. Tell them to be here for interviews in one hour.”

“Male freshies?” Beth asked.

“Of course. They only make up about 20% of the Freshie population but if you pay them well they are quite loyal.”

Beth grinned. “I think Mick will have some freshies before sundown.

Oh, Beth! Poor Mick, what if he doesn't like testosterone-spiked blood??!

[jmc]

I was about to suggest us as a database but Josef had another idea. Perhaps not a job Mick should have delegated to Beth.

Thanks, cassyj!

Leave it to Josef to push the envelope.

Loved Sookie and Bella. Cute.

Maybe Beth should just make pickups from Guillermo. Or a bloodbank.

can you say.....hunger strike? I know if Josef was Beth's husband.....it wouldn't stop him a bit
....Good old Mick, Can we see what happens ?????

[maggatha3]

Mick doesn't have a say in that matter? Did he just leave it to the two of them to decide? not a very good idea...he is surely in trouble....I really cannot picture Mick with a male freshie...

[cassysj]

Beth and Josef have a lot of fun picking Mick's dinner. If he wants a say he should go to the store himself.

[JanLuvsAlex]

I really like that Beth will choose male freshies and why not..that the way I'd go..

[jen]

Think about it Beth.

Are you suuure you want to go there?

[Marigold]

Comedic as always, Carol!

I love the guest appearances by Sookie and Bella. Next time, Josef should save his time and take his assistant's advice.

[cassysj]

JanluvsAlex - Beth knows her own mind.

jen - A little experiment never hurts.

Marigold - Josef should always listen to Laura she knows what she's talking about.
