After a quick shower and change of clothes, I was out the door, heading straight to Nova, a restaurant infamous to New York's corrupted underworld society.

I raise my hands in defeat. "You should eat something, that much caffeine on an empty stomach isn't good" Winston's lips pursed in a smile as always. "Yeah, I think I might head down to Dunkin and get a donut or something, it is lunch for me" I check the time on my phone. "There's this really nice cafe like 10 minutes from here, they have the best donuts," Winston says. "Oh, really what's it called?" I ask, pulling my hair away from my face and tying it in a bun.
