Contains: cussing, (I'm gonna try Jewel's POV for this chapter), first meeting Zak, interview day for Jewel, Zak being a jerk.

*A/n- I'm a little unsure of how Zak's interviews work or how his inside of the museum even looks so I'll just make it that she waits in a line that's for a tour and gets brought in. Plus I'll make up the interview questions he asks, sorry if I get lots of info wrong! BradSimpsonBabygirl1

My knees were shaky, my breathing was practically stuck in my throat with how nervous yet excited I was to stand where I was right now.

Okay deep breaths Jewel you've got this by the junk!

I tells myself as I stand at what felt like just an inch away from the gates entering the grounds of Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum. It was my fifth job interview I'd finally gotten after living just one month in Las Vegas with my Friend Gale in her one story home just about twenty five mins away from the strip. I've applied for several jobs such as a hostess, a cashier, telemarketer, hell even a janitor but no such luck. Since no one wanted to give me the time of day. One day I heard about a help wanted on the ghost adventures website that Gale showed me and the rest is well..about to be made history, I hope.

I stared at the line of people just outside the entry way as the people stand waiting to be let in for the tour and boy was I shocked with just the visuals of how long it was.

The line was nearly coming out into the streets! I could feel my bottom lip practically burning as it laid on the burning concrete sidewalk. I mentally pick up my lip to its normal position when breaking me from my shock, I hear a voice somewhere near me.

"Excuse me but Are you Jewel Reimers?" I turn and see a red-headed woman dressed in all black with a clipboard in hand.

"Yup that's me. I'm here for my interview." I tried not to sound too nervous as I wait to see what will happen next. The woman scribbles something on her clipboard and then looks up at me with a suspicious look I couldn't quite figure out.

"The boss would like to meet with you in his office then. This way." The red head said in a SUPER sweet tone, then turned as quickly as she had came.

She doesn't need to look so excited. I thought sarcastically. I tried not to chuckle at my own joke as I followed behind the red head towards what looked to be the other side of the museum. As we entered inside, a few moments later she leads me to a door and opens it with me standing behind her to announce my presence.

"Zak, Jewel Reimers is here for her interview." I hear the red head say in a higher pitched voice as she poked her head inside the room. I couldn't quite hear what was said from Zak but I see the red head give me the signal that it was alright to go in. I walk past the red head and as soon as I entered, the door closes behind me leaving me with a weird feeling in the room.

Woah...with the slight tension I felt just now I could cut through it with a knife..

"Hello." I said with a smile but the greeting was one sided. "Sit down please." He replied. I find the seat and sit down as I sit up straight, feeling sort of ready for this.

"So I read that you want to work here, do you believe in the paranormal?" I see him place his left hand under his chin as he stared at me.

"Oh fuck yeah..oops." I paused when I realized I just said something inappropriate. Shit! I thought. "I mean I uh...yeah yes I do believe in the paranormal." Zak doesn't change his facial expression. He looked either bored or unimpressed.

What's his fucking deal? I thought as I waited for him to respond.

"Alright then, how are you under pressure?" He asks as he shrugs his shoulders, his voice never wavered.

"I am pretty calm in almost any situation and I am willing to work the best of my abilities under pressure as well." I try not to let my nervousness show when I spoke. Zak then played with his chin as he stared at me, making me want to look away from his intense staring but I don't.

"Do you have any experiences with the paranormal and know what to do should one follow you home?" He asked, noticing his whole body shift slightly.

"Yes, I was taught a few years ago by a friend of mine how to rid my home and myself of dark energies and spirits whenever one had followed me home." I said with confidence.

"Hmph." He scoffs as if he was in disbelief. I raised my eyebrow at him, waiting for him to say anything else.

"I have a feeling that you are only here to be close to me. I don't think you'll fit into the haunted museum." He remains seated as he raises his hand to show me the the door. I however stay seated and cross my arms over my chest with my legs crossed right back.

"Listen here Bagans, I may be a fan of yours that may be so. However I happen to like to eat and have a place of my own to stay a lot more than to simply try to get a job just to be close to you. So cut the ego bullshit." I looked cool and collected on the outside but panicked inside after I finished the sentence.

Shit! I was hoping to get out of this without making a scene...guess I can cross this place off the bucket list I guess. I was hurt that I couldn't work in the one place I felt I belonged.

But if Zak was gonna doubt me then it's his loss.

"You sure have a backbone for someone who wants a job here." Keeping his hand under his chin, now tapping his cheek with his index finger as his expression turned from expressionless to a haughty one.

"Ha, Says you! you claim to want to help others and yet all you do is bring demons into their homes. Maybe YOU aren't cut out for this kind of work as well." I said back, I may be a big fan of his but he was really starting to piss me off.

"Well then, I think I know enough about you to make my decisions. Have a...good day miss." He fakes a smile. I huff in annoyance and quickly stormed out of the museum. Not even bothering to be polite and say goodbye to the man I admired for so long.

After the so called 'interview' was over, I went back home and told Gale what had happened. Once I was done explaining, she hugged me and then we sat with a table full of snacks/drinks and watched some ghost adventures together, weird right?

After a few episodes, I went to my room to shower and get ready for bed. Not hearing my phone ring saying that I had missed a call.

Well what I didn't expect to happen was a phone call the next day, the female voice of someone saying "You got the job."

Oh boy..
