A tall man wearing a black hoodie and dark gray jeans watches Nora from a distance while sitting on a bench. His eyes focused on Nora while she walks and occasionally smells the flowers. "Hm.." The man watches as Nora goes close to the training ring. The man gets up from the bench and walks away as soon as Nora starts talking with Travis. The man goes behind a tree and takes his hood off. The man pulls out his phone and answers a call. "Hey." The man speaks. "No, she's talking with Travis." The man looks back at Nora. "Don't think so." The man looks back at his phone. "Alright, I'll keep tabs on her." The man hangs up the phone, he looks back at Nora.

"Dad I don't wanna go fishing." A little girl whines. "But it's fun, and you never hang out with me anymore." The dad smiles. "Just try okay? Here I'll show you how." The dad gets up and grabs a fishing rod. "Be careful with that rod!" The mom yells from the dock. "Don't listen to Mommy, she doesn't know what she's saying." The dad smiles, "Okay your gonna hold it like this and then your gonna cast it into the water and wait for a fish to bite. Okay? Then you're gonna reel it in!" The dad tries to be funny while giving an explanation that makes his daughter laugh. "And let the fishy go back into his home." The dad smiles. The little girl takes the rod and casts it into the water. "Daddy! I think I feel a fish biting it-" the little girl turns around to see her dad isn't there. "Daddy?" The little girl looks around. "Daddy..?" She stands up on the boat. Something bites the hook and pulls on the rod. She tries to pull back but the force was too strong and it pulled her into the water. Nora jumped awake in a cold sweat when her alarm went off. "What's going on?! I heard screaming." Leo bursts into the room with a spatula. "Just a nightmare.." Nora mumbles. "Are you okay?" Leo asks. "Yeah.. I'm fine." Nora wipes the sweat from her forehead. "Alright, well, breakfast is on the counter." Leo smiles and walks out of the room. Nora nods and takes a deep breath.

Nora is at work, making cakes and pastries like always. The king has been coming to the bakery more often. And soon, he comes there every. Single. Day. RING! "Ugh!" Nora groans, she walks out of the kitchen to see Akira at the counter. She puts on a fake smile, like she does every time he comes in. "Hi Nora." Akira smiles, "You know, there's other bakery's in town. You should go check those out." She gives an annoyed smile. "Nah, I think I'll keep coming to this one. Your food is the best here." Akira winks. Nora rolls her eyes. "Can I have a strawberry pastry please?" Akira smiles. "Is that all?" Nora says with a huff. "Yup." Akira walks away from the counter and goes to sit at one of the tables. Nora rolls her eyes and walks back into the kitchen. "Stupid King." She mumbles to herself. "It's funny how the king keeps coming to our bakery, I wonder if he's gonna make the boss pay us more money!" One of Nora's co workers say. Nora walks back out of the kitchen with a strawberry pastry. She places it onto the table. "There's your stupid pastry." Nora mumbles. "Thanks." Akira smiles. "Mhm." Nora gives an annoyed smile and walks off. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!! The work phone goes off, Nora grabs the phone and answers the call. "Hello, you're calling Jone's Cakes and Shakes. How may I help you?" Nora says. "Is this Nora Woodlock?" A man says on the other side of the phone. "Yes, this is she." Nora says with a confused look on her face, Akira looks over and notices her confused look. So he eavesdrops on her conversation. "This is Guard Aaron, we have a man named Leo Hill, he claims that you're his friend?" The guard says. "Uhm, yeah Leo is my friend. Why? What did he do?" Nora asks, she was now concerned. "Well, we caught your friend shoplifting from a grocery store." The guard says. "What?! No, he wouldn't do that!" Nora questions. "Well, he did." The guard answers. "Can I get him out? How much is his bail?" Nora asks, "bail?" Akira thought. "4,000 dollars." The guard answers her question. "4,000 DOLLARS?!" Nora shouts. "I'll be there." She hangs up. "God damnit Leo!" She groans. "Is your friend in jail?" Akira asked while walking up to the counter. "Yeah, I gotta go find 4,000 dollars to get him out." Nora takes her apron off. "I can pay for it." Akira suggests. "No, stay out of it. I will handle it. It's none of your business anyways." Nora grabs her bag and clocks out. She walks out of the bakery in a hurry, leaving Akira there.

"She's leaving the bakery now." A man speaks into his phone. "Alright, I'll follow." He hangs up. And starts his car.
