Michael's POV
Got damnit, I can never find a job. I thought to myself as I again left another building that didn't give me a job. Arriving at TJ and Ann's house where I live I flew to a window and went in changing to my true form.

"Still can't find a job" TJ said to me as I rolled my eyes
"No one will accept me" I groan in frustration
"Don't be to mad Michael" Ann said
"Well what am I supposed to do huh Ann? Clearly these humans don't know anything" I said and sat down at the nearest chair
"Haha your not the only one" TJ said
"Rebecca is still looking for a job as a model" TJ said and drunk some blood that was collected.
"Well Michael all I can tell you is that there is one more person you can try" Ann started
"Tell me" I pleaded
"Susie" Ann said and I nodded my head and smiled a little
"Of course you remember Harper but that was 10 years ago when she was 9. Well Susie found some evidence of Henry's death and who killed him and she needs someone to look out for Harper." Ann said
"Does she pay good? I said
"Duh! She is freaking rich!" TJ said and I rolled my eyes at his annoying voice
"Yes she pays good. She is leaving next week for about a year she told me and I told her that most of us are either looking for a job or goes to work all the time and can't watch her so I told her that you'll be able to do it" I nodded and smiled wider
"Ann thank you so much!" I said
"No problem Michael. Jack and Rebecca baby sat her and got a real nice paycheck even I did" Ann said and chuckled a little
"Hear, I can sense that your thirsty" Ann said and gave me some blood to drink as I thought of how much Harper has grown sense I last saw her.
