Manhattan's Finest

Chapter 2

Right when I see Asher my heart stops. Asher is Kaliey's bestfriend. They had been dating last year but had a pretty nasty breakup. Kaliey was still his bestfriend and I knew she still had feeling for him. Things were pretty awkard between us because I had dated Asher's other bestfriend Ryan, who had accused me of cheating on him.

"Oh, hey Mckenzie..." Asher said suprised.

"Hey." I answered back.

"So...you're going to the party tonight?" Asher questioned.

"Umm yeah." I replied. God this was awkard. I wanted to curl up in a ball and hide.

"Yeah same I was going to call a cab to get there but if you want I can Uber for you." Asher ventured.

"Oh no it's fine I'll just call a cab or take the subway." I answered. 

"Okay. I guess I'll see you at the party then." Asher added. He waved goodbye and pulled out his phone. All of a sudden just then I felt someone grab my from behind. I quickly spinned around just in time to see a man grab my purse and take off.

"Hey!" I shouted running to catch up with him. Shit. If I lost my phone my mom would kill me. I chased after the man for what felt like entirety. I finally  followed the man into an alley only to see that he had disappeared. Angery and concerned I decided to just go home and tell mom and take the beating. Right when I turned around to start heading to the home I noticed Asher standing there out of breath.

"I saw that man steal your purse so I decided to help you." Asher proclaimed panting for air.

"I don't know where he went." I implied. I was stilll suprised that Asher had chased after him with me. This was one of the very few conversations I had with him.

"Do you want me to help you look for him. He probaly hadn't had gone too far." Asher insited.

"I was thinking of just reporting it missing but I guess it would probaly be easier and quicker just to look for him." I told Asher, "You don't have to help though. I can find him on my own." 

"No, really I can help you. It probaly won't take too long." Asher persited.

"Okay." I commented.

Asher and I had been looking for my lost purse for what seemed like hours. Asher's phone died and we were completely lost and it was starting to turn dark. I had lost all hope of finding my lost bag. Until I noticed a bright blue bag sitting in one of the dumpsters. I quickly went over to exam the bag and to my delight it was mine.

"Hey Asher! I found my bag!" I shouted with delight. Asher helped me pull the bag out of the dumpster and I immediatly looked through the bag to see if my belongings were still there. Sadly the bag was empty. 

"Dangit!" Asher grumbled, "we have no money and no phones."

"We could try asking people for money." I suggested. Even though I knew that no one would give money to a girl wearing a Louis Vuitton belt and a guy with Yeezy sneakers.

"I don't anyone would give us money." Asher remarked. I signed. We were very lost. I had never really been in this area of New York and niether had Asher. We were doomed.
