A New Life Started by: Epidemic on Sep 29, '14 20:25

Epidemic steps off the train onto the platform, stopping momentarily to buy a newspaper before heading outside onto the streets of Brooklyn, NY. Arriving outside Epidemic adjusted his scarf to protect himself from the cold harsh air that was swirling around the bustling sidewalks, the trees we're dancing and the sky was clear enough to view the stars. As Epidemic walked he began to reminisce about the past.. it had been 8 months since he last called anywhere home in this world..

Epidemic had been walking for around 10 minutes and didn't really know where he was heading, he knew his way around the streets but every coffee shop, restaurant and office building he used to know we're either replaced by new fancier establishments or still burnt out and boarded up from the events which saw Epidemic flee the life he once knew and his home back in Chicago.

Having enough of the cold and growing weary, Epidemic hailed the next cab..

"Take me to the nearest place to get a good coffee please" - The cabbie nodded as Epidemic gave him his destination and quickly sped off towards the nearest coffee shop.

Slowing down after a short journey the cabbie shouted through to Epidemic.. "Here ya' go, that'll be.." but before the cabbie could finish Epidemic had already extended his hand to pay, taking the $100 bill the cabbie began to explain that he didn't have change..

"Consider it a tip.. although there is one more thing you may be able to help me with.." Epidemic smiled as the cabbie jotted something down on a piece of paper and handed it to him. Waving off the cabbie Epidemic made his way inside, the coffee shop interior didn't look like much but the lady serving was simply gorgeous.

Epidemic made his way to the front and approached the lady serving, she smiled and asked how she could be of assistance.. "Hello, just a coffee please darling, could you take it over there when its done?" Epidemic replied politely whilst pointing at the booth he was going to sit at.

"Sure thing, it'll just be a few minutes" the lady answered with a soft tone and spun around to begin prepping his order. As his coffee was being made Epidemic decided to get down to business and strolled over to the payphone, taking out a piece of paper he chuckled to himself as he thought what the chances we're that the cabbie would actually be able to provide the information he did.

Dialling the first number Epidemic began to feel his stomach turn, he was no stranger to the sort of life the people on the other end could provide but the memories of Chicago and the wars around the states that he worked in we're still there as strong as ever.

"Hello" A mans voice answered as the continuous ringing tone had stopped..

"Er, hello.. I am aware you may be able to provide work.." Epidemic replied and continued to explain everything to the man on the other end of the phone. After a few phone calls Epidemic smiled, tossed the piece of paper in the trash and headed back to his booth where his coffee was gently steaming away, confident the right people would know where to find him about work Epidemic unrolled the newspaper he had been carrying and settled down to catch up on some news and enjoy a magnificent coffee.
