I texted her countless times until she got my messages.
Honey how just how'd you get to NY in a day"?
It took ten minutes but she responded with a hour long video of the earthquake in San Diego California and the US army gathering survivors of the attack.

I texted back "where are you exactly"?
She responded saying "her home city Brooklyn but she has to go now but she will keep in touch with me in a few days" and that's the last I heard from her.

I drove slowly up the streets of Las Vegas Nevada in search of any survivors and resources of any kinds.

I entered The Venetian casino slowly searching the area with my rifle and shotgun on back as I heard a shuffle of feet run two clicks behind me and I shot at the wall then I shot again but this time at a slot machine hitting the jackpot making the machine go haywire with coins.

I noticed what I've done then looked at my rifle then at the machine then at my rifle again then slightly smirked.

"Ain't that bout a bitch"? I said while hearing more feet scurry behind me.

"Alright show yourself I won't shoot I promise, just come out nice and easy"!!

"How do I know that when you see me you won't shoot"?! Her voice was like the sweetness of silk as she revealed herself.

I took a good look at her lowering my gun slightly then completely.

"See you can trust me now right"? I said walking straight to her to shake her hand.

She smiled then smirked at me refusing my hand shake for the exchange of a hug instead.

I hugged back with a slight feeling of confusion then I retreated from the hug when I felt her lips touch my cheek and neck.

"What on earth was that"?! I yelled making a echo throughout the casino.

"Nothing I was just letting you know I really like and appreciate you not killing me just three minutes ago so yeah that's why I kissed you guy"??

Why'd you call me guy I have a name- ohh Clarence sorry it's Clarence, and you might be whom???

She thought about the question while smirking then walked away from me in a circle before answering my question.

"Destiny is my name, so what brings u to the casino with all the drama happening around the world"?

"Wait what do you mean all around the world"? She sighed at me revealing her camera that has recorded the news broadcasting from all around the globe as I walked away in silence.

"Um what's wrong Clarence I know it's hard to believe but this is what's happening are you OK"?

"No no I will not accept and believe this I have a wife who is pregnant with my child half way across the country and your trying to tell me there's a possibility that I won't make it to them in time"?!?

She looked at me with a very tempered face then slapped me as I shouted and she slapped me again but harder.

" OK OK thank you I needed that a lot, but listen maybe we should stick together are you alone here, I can help you I have a truck out from with food and water and if necessary ammunition "?

Oh I don't know Clarence give me one good reason why I should stick with you hmm? Tell me one good reason and I will stay together with you" ?

I walked further to her getting into her face before speaking in a deep manly voice "

"We should stick together because for starters I could just leave you here to starve and die and two I can tell already your going to be a stubborn pain in my ass but I am learning to ignore that, now if you want to stay here in this quite nice casino here in Las Vegas Nevada alone with nothing then be my guest, but if not meet me out back in ten minutes".
