Circle K Convenience Store:
Chris hands the completed application she had picked up on her way to school early that morning to the clerk on duty. She had inquired on her way to school if they were hiring. As it happened, they were looking for a part-time afternoon person to come in during the week and every other weekend.

She had filled the application out, while at school. She wasn’t worried about her stepmother finding out she was working here. Her stepmother hated Circle K and avoided them as much as possible.

“Excuse me, Mrs. How soon should I hear back about my application?” Chris wanted to know.

“Within a couple of days. The store manager will call you in for an interview.”

“Okay, thank you.” Chris turns and walks out of the store.

Chris starts walking, towards her friend’s place. Their place was nearby, and she hasn’t visited them in a while. She starts walking towards their place. As she is walking towards her friend’s house, she examines the prepaid cellphone she managed to purchase. She combined the money she got for the cans she took to the recycle center and the money she lifted from her stepbrother’s hidden stash.

She slips it back into her backpack. She’ll have to keep it hidden from her stepmother. After twenty minutes of walking, she spots her friend's house. Chris walks up to the house and knocks on the door.

Amy was getting ready to play a game on her Play Station 4 when she hears a knocking sound coming from her front door. She gets up and heads towards the door. She looks through the peephole to see who was on the other side. She spots Chris standing in front of the door. She opens the door “hey, Chris. What brings you to my neck of the woods?” As she stands aside to let Chris in.

“I was just wondering how things have been with you and I hope you don’t mind me hanging out with you.” Chris walks past Amy.

“I don’t mind. My mom should be home in a little while and I know she has been concerned about you.” Amy shuts the front door.

“I always liked your mother. She reminds me a lot of my mother.” Chris has known Amy’s mother since they were in elementary school.

Amy’s mother was a lawyer and was very good. She thinks about talking with her about getting emancipated from her stepmother.

“Would you like anything to drink?” Amy leads Chris to the den.

“I’m fine, but thanks. So what game were you about to play?” Chris sits her backpack on the floor, near the sofa.

“Burnout Paradise Remastered. I just got it yesterday. It was on sale at Game Stop.” Amy had been out window shopping with her mother when she spotted the game.

“Cool, how do you play it?” Chris sits down next to Amy and pick-up the second gamepad.

“Let’s find out.” Amy picks up her controller and starts the game.

Nora and Kelly:
“One, two, three, four walking like a man
Hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam
Never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop
She's got the look
Heavenly bound
Cause heaven's got a number
When she's spinning me around
Kissing is a color
Her loving is a wild dog
She's got the look…”

Kelly sings along with the song as she heads home. She couldn’t wait to get home and take a nice relaxing soak. The client the firm was representing had a history that was a mile long. Normally, they wouldn’t take a client that had a record so bad. However, her bosses felt what the detectives on the case did, to apprehend the person went too far. They broke every law to arrest the person. They wanted to put the client in jail.

As she sits at the stoplight still singing in time with the song. An old fashion muscle car pulls up next to her. The windows of the car were blacked out, so you couldn’t see the occupants of the car. She just ignores the car, as she continues to sing along with the song.

When the lights turn green, she steps on the accelerator and proceeds down the road. The muscle car that had been beside her. It speeds past her and pulls right in front of her, without turning it turn signals on, and taps it brakes. She steps on her brakes to keep from hitting the ass end of the car.

“You son of a bitch.” She was glad that Nora made her take the defensive driving course. A few years ago.

She tries to go around the person, but every move she makes, he counters. Not only that, he had a more powerful car. When a turn comes up, that would allow her to get from behind the guy, she takes it. She knew all the streets around the house that Nora and her shared. After a few more turns, she pulls into her driveway.

She sits there in the car for a few minutes, to calm her nerves. She knew Nora would have given that person a taste of his own medicine. She wonders should she inform Nora about this incident. She grabs her purse, briefcase, and head inside the house.

Nora covers up a yawn as she leaves school. Today had been a long and eventful day. She had to suspend several students for bullying a young girl. The bullies had torn open her blouse, exposing her flat chest to several students in the hallway.

Nora knew the student and felt protective of her. She reminded her of Ginger when she first met her. She walks to her car and put her school bags in and get in herself.

Nora starts the car up and starts heading home. As she is driving, she notices that someone was following her. A sly smile appears on her face. Old habits were hard to break and her DSS training was a big part of her.

She decides to see who the person was and how good they were. She steps on the gas pedal and zig and zags out of traffic. She watches as the other car tries to keep her in their sights. She speeds past a box truck and manages to get on the other side of it before the car trailing her caught up with her. She stays next to the truck and manages to get behind the people trailing her.

She plays a little aggressive with them. She wanted to know who they were and why they were trailing her. She matches their moves without any problems. When she gets the opportunity, she speeds past them and pulls directly in front of them. She slams on her brakes, causing them to avoid hitting her.

Nora watches as the other car avoids her and takes off. She couldn’t see who they were, because the windows of the car being tinted extremely dark. Even the license plate had a tinted cover on it. She wonders who they were and why did they come after her, as she drives home.
