" I don't know just do something lively!"" Like what?" She queries." Uh- uh! Why don't you begin with a nice refreshing bath and after that you can put on some nice outfits and make us some breakfast... Wait it's past ten already, so maybe we can go out for brunch?" I teased her. " Are you for real right now?" " Yeah, I am, or are you going to start anew on an empty stomach?" " Hmmm, I guess you are right, she gets out of bed feeling a bit relieved as she continues out to her room.Once she left, my smile slowly withers away, as I stand face to face with my reality and unanswered questions.Talking to Sam helped me not wallow in pity for myself, once again I am stumped on by fate, it seems like often I stretch out my hand, I'd wonder if it was from my grasp but as soon as I grab and squeeze, I lose my grip like the flying trapeze, into the dark I plummet

Well, not anymore because I have learned the downside of this city in barely a week, so find another name that suites me better," I reply with a frown." Ow!

We are here, eventually, my heart won't stop scampering throughout the entire trip. Sam and I make our way into the building which seems like a warehouse of the sort, there are some packaged goods in cartons stacked on the floor by the corner and some men standing and having a chit chat while some are busy arranging and repackaging the unknown goods in the cartons.It didn't look anything like what I had imagined on my way here, at least there isn't a group of varmints puffing smokes while counting stacks of cash, rather the men here seem to be more engrossed with what they are doing and everything seems legal to me." Hey! Excuse me, Sam waves at one of the men standing across the hall as he slowly takes a few steps closer to us with his brows furrow." Yeah?
