Emma had managed to secure a job as a waitress in Dreville restaurant around her street. Even though she will be paid less compared to what she earned from Sam's club, her new job had it's advantages. She doesn't have to pay for transportation but just walk down there and back home when her shifts end. Also, she got to spend more time during the day at the library because she was placed on the evening shift at the restaurant which runs from 4 to 10pm daily. Emma seem to love her new job. She always had this broad smile on which cheers the customers. She is always cautious of her words and used the word 'please' and 'thank You' as courtesy demands.

CHICAGO: "You know him? " a surprised Emma asked Mike after he called out to Sam the moment he walked into her apartment."Of course I know him. " retorted Mike, disgust clear in his voice. "We used to be friends in high school." added Mike. Sam stood at the the entrance of Emma’s door, shock evident on his face as he saw Micheal. Seeing him after so many years especially at such an unexpected place brought back too many memories he had tried to forget over the years. The two men continued staring at each other not knowing how exactly to react without making Emma think something was up."Why don’t you come in and have a seat." offered Emma to Sam whose feet were still glued to the passage right outside Emma’s apartment. Sam entered into the apartment and his eyes did a once over at Mike then at Emma’s apartment.

"This is Gideon Romero. " introduced the science teacher to the class. He was introducing little Gideon who had just been enrolled into the junior high school, a boarding school.

CHICAGO: The night Sam attacked Mike, he couldn't fall asleep. He tossed from one end of his bed to the other feeling guilty and ashamed. He felt terrible and couldn't stop regretting over what he did and the long lasting torturous impression he must have inflicted on Emma. What must Emma be thinking? he wondered. In a bid to prevent Mike from presenting him to her as a maniac, he had revealed to her, a part of him which he was trying to protect. He quickly got out of bed, pulled a bottle of Vodka from his bar in the living room and crashed on his couch. He was a mess at that moment and he knew it but what was he to do? The next day, he woke up to an empty bottle of Vodka with his head banging and he was having blurred visions. He drank too much last night; he knew it.
