“Perhaps I should claim that title.” Knox chuckled, watching approvingly as Benjamin took the flask and added its contents to his drink. “Most mornings are emergencies in my opinion.” Knox said, looking to the cup of coffee in his hand before taking a sip. “Especially when you find it hard to function.” He gave a small shrug then, as if it was a basic fix that everyone should be willing to accept.
“Ah, I’m in the business of the law.” He said with a small grin, leaning back comfortably in his chair. “Though I’m making it sound way too alluring.” He added with a small laugh. “I’m a bounty hunter basically, I help the police department bring in those that skip out on bail.” Not the most envious of jobs, but he enjoyed it, plus it gave him the benefit of looking into profiles in hopes of finding his family in the area. “You mentioned a class. Obviously you’re some kind of teacher, what’s the subject content?” He asked curiously.
This sitting down with strangers and conversing was different, though so far pleasant. Knox hadn’t been the most social of people when he first arrived in Los Angeles, but since then he’d really perked up. There was still a real lack of trust for other people, his swaying moods often leading him to give warning looks to any who try to converse with him when he wasn’t having the same urge to talk. For today at least, despite his tiredness, he was willing to step forward and meet someone new. Besides, the man wasn’t unattractive, and so far had managed to keep Knox in his seat.
“Well, experience makes masters.” Benjamin shrugged with a smile and kept on drinking his spiked coffee, enjoying it more than he should by that time of the morning. “And you’re right on that one, being awake before 8 a.m. should be considered a sin or against human rights.” He added, he wasn’t a morning bird and he did better in the afternoons and evenings, picking up the pace was always a tough process, but he had his coping ways.
As he heard about Knox’s occupation his curiosity woke up and he found it incredibly interesting to meet someone with such profession. “Wow, that’s quite cool, I mean, it shouldn’t be as glamorous as they make it look in Hollywood movies, but nonetheless. How long have you been doing it? is it a full-time job or do you have your own schedule?” Benjamin knew too little about the mechanics of the work with the law, this kind of conversation he found stimulating.
“I’m a professor at UCLA. I teach music production among other things related to the musical field. I’m also a DJ in clubs at night, so you can say I get to know the best of both worlds.” Benjamin was good at talking about his job, but he tried to keep it simple because people didn’t always worry about the details of what producing music was really about. He would answer questions if they were asked, but he would not bore his companion making a spoken essay of his multiple occupations. “What took you to the site? An investigation or just personal curiosity?”
