Danny shakes his head as his curls bounce framing his face.. when his hair gets long he resembles Lenard from the Big Bang theory.""Get home safely,do you want me to walk you home?"Or hubby is gonna come and give you a happy ending ( adult innuendo) on your wedding night? I hit him with a pillow from the couch before getting up to my feet.

"Your so funny my fake husband doesn't know anything about me let alone where I live. We didn't even exchange numbers so all I have to do is wait til my lawyer calls with the divorce papers. I stated as he looked at me wearily"Danny I'm really I'm  good" I said in a sing song voice but it didn't convince him he knew I was hurting emotionally my boyfriend eloped with my sister, I got paper husbands in a loveless marriage,and a psycho mafia daughter who wants my head.. other than that I'm fine; really I'm fine Danny.. take care of sleeping beauty there he was walking down memory lane earlier so he may be an emotional wreck."

Danny sadly knodded " you know the offer is always open you can't crash here"

Once again I turned down the offer after hugging him a third time. " bye guys love you"

Love you more" he blew air kisses at me as I shut the door. I hummed nervously As I got down the hall and out of the building . Something had my nerves frazzled mane it was the impending danger or the alcohol finally talking..I just felt uneasy .

I pulled out my phone and called the first number on my recent call line up. I didn't care who it was just someone - anyone to talk to at this moment.
Jack and Elsbeth conversation

A gruff undiscerned voice answered.. hello

Don't hang up say anything .. I pleaded as my heart raced.

What's going on ? He asked

I think in being followed .. my voice quivered as I picked up my pace. The foot steps quickened I dripped the bottle of brandy and started sprinting . The sound of glass shattering and footsteps quickening made me lurch foward . I almost lost my footing as I dipped and dodged through an abandoned construction cite; I had to do something to get away.

"Give me your address and Get into your apartment . I will be there in a few" I could hear the urgency within his voice as I rattled off my address.

Don't hang up til your safe inside.. ok Jack reaffirmed as unfamiliar scent assaulted my scenes. I ducked in an alleyway next to my building trying to deter my assailant. After a few moment the scent decimated and my pulse slowed . I finally got the nerve to venture towards my apartment. 

I noticed that there was A few people upon the deserted street that didn't deem a threat . They boldly stopped and gawked at me as I passed by as if I were leper . "Come on!"I mentally screamed"It's like they never seen a lady in a wedding dress before."maybe they have or maybe they haven't I will never know. I took a deep breath of the now chilled night air.

Well,that went well I sarcastically stated as I finally made it to my dojo. The old building once was the most happening place in town. The ritz was once the pack house to the knight pack. This was the only shifter hotel in the city til after time and many bankruptcies. The pack  moved away to new territory and then the owners sold it.

No one wanted to buy a run down hotel til my landlord sal bought the place for cheap. Unfortunately, Now converted they stripped out the lobby of the grand hotel and converted into my dojo. I wish I wasn't living pay check to paycheck and I could afford to buy the place from sal and restore it to its former glory.
Sal wis like a pitbull when he comes to a deal. He sniffs out and tracks the scent til he finds the right one. Then he pounced upon it without any to no mercy. That's how he makes the bargain kills and become the slum lord he is today. He is not that bad for a slimy rat that doesn't have an ounce of humanity in his round body.

I placed my hand upon the old crown molding as I pulled out my key. " sorry old bird I just messed up my chances on actually buying you from sal"

The wind whistled as if acknowledging my statement. Once again I had the paranoid feeling as if there was someone watching me. I sniffed the air but came up with no scent. After waiting a solid five minutes and nothing upon the deserted street moved . I finally deemed the area safe and entered the building. The eerie feeling didn't descipate it only intensified as I closed the door.
