I called Mr.benjamin and told him that I reached Las Vegas safely . I took a bath and slept for about a hour and then went out for a walk.

Well the place is gorgeous but I don't think I will be able to live here for long

Well the place is gorgeous but I don't think I will be able to live here for long . I need to find a job but I haven't even completed my graduation properly so that's obvious that I won't get a corporate job.Finally getting outside from my own little world I realized that I have came far away from my hotel , I looked around and found a small coffee shop nearby. I went inside and ordered a latte.

I sipped my coffee and started thinking about getting a job but honestly I don't think anyone would hire me

I sipped my coffee and started thinking about getting a job but honestly I don't think anyone would hire me. I know I should be confident about myself but I really don't know what I am good at , I can't do something which involves lot of physical strength because I have just recovered I really don't know what to do.

Suddenly a man came and sat in front of me , "what are you doing on my table?" I asked . He looked up and stared at me , "what??!" I asked again . He placed 500 dollars on the table and shifted it to my side ."I won't accept that!" I exclaimed and looked around everyone was busy sipping their coffee but there were a bunch of people who were suspicious. "Are you hiding from them ?" I asked and accidentally my hoodie slidded from my head . "You don't look like a local ..." the mysterious guy said , I quickly pulled the hoodie over .

"Get up!" I exclaimed and I didn't realized that I said that a too loud which gathered a lot of attention. "Couldn't you just shut up ?" The guy said. "They are walking towards us." I said looking at those bunch of people who looked nothing more than goons ."My name is Edmund...." he was about to say something but the other guy pulled him up by collar and placed revolver straight into his mouth . I got up and looked around , everyone was afraid and the manager was pinned down on ground by one on the bad guys .

'Do I really attract trouble?' I murmured to myself. "Leave me!" Edmund said but the other guy didn't . Edmund pushed the guy behind and snatched the gun from him and shooted his right leg. He beated all other guys meanwhile I was standing there speechless , Edmund triggered the gun and threatened everyone to go down . I tried to run away but the guy whom Edmund just shooted grabbed my foot , "leave me!" I exclaimed . I heard police sirens approaching and a sense of relief touched me but that didn't stayed for long , Edmund kicked the guy holding my foot and dragged me outside. I tried to free myself from his hold but his grip on my arm was firm . He made me run and hide a car , I saw police and tried to shout but he covered my mouth with his hanky .

The police arrested all the goons and left after about a 10 minutes . I retaliated from his hold and luckily he let me go , "Who the hell are you ?" I asked standing up . "Detective Edmund White" he said approaching his hand for a handshake , I pushed his hand away and turned to leave but he grabbed my arm making me face him . "I am not a bad guy okay?" He said actually he shouted . "Then why are you hiding from police?" I asked . "Because the police inspector and I are best friends if he comes out that I was involved in the case he would invite me for lunch behind bars due to which I won't be able to focus on my next case !!" He said again shouting at me. "First of all stop shouting and secondly the coffee shop has cameras and in no time vultures would be tele casting it so your friend will anyhow know that you were involved. " I said removing my hand from his grip .

"When i was coming out i snatched the wires out they have no footage madam." He said . "But what about the guys you beated just now ?"I asked . "I don't have time to chitchat with a stupid girl on the streets right now." He said and left . I followed him , "what did you just say?" I questioned. "Come on ! Go away, your mum would be waiting for you. " he said. I froze there for a moment and when I looked up he already disappeared in the crowd. I took a cab back to the hotel. I got a call from Mr.benjamin but I didn't mentioned anything about today , he gaved me a couple of addresses to visit on to find a house on rent . I had my dinner and took my medicines and slept peacefully.

I got up the next morning a little early than usual and got ready . "Maam!" A voice shouted when I was about to leave the hotel , I turned and went to the reception. "This is a parcel from London. " she said . I took it and went to the waiting lobby, I opened it up. It was a brand new phone from Mr.benjamin with a note saying YOU NEEDED IT but honestly I really needed it . My last phone was burned into ashes in the house fire. I called him and thanked for the amazing gift and then took a cab . I stepped out of the cab and entered the row house it gaved me a country side vibe but when I met the whole family I realized that they didn't wanted a pen guest actually they needed a person on rent who would actually take care of there 6 children. I left from there disheartened and went for the 2nd house , it was a flat in a building . I met the landlord but the rent was to much for me plus I am not sure that I will get a job or not . I got down from the staircase and my heart dropped in my stomach , there was a huge casino right in front of the building. 'Well this is Las Vegas right .' I murmured to myself and sat back into the car to reach my last destination for today.

Meanwhile I looked through all the news on my phone. Surprisingly it only flashed that there was a fight in the local coffee shop . "Maam we have reached ." The driver said and I looked outside. It was a old rusty appartment , I got down the car and looked around. The location was right in the middle of the city.  I rang the bell but none responded so I knocked the door and started swiping news , soon I heard someone was opening the door. "Hello I am Evy actually I needed a room on rent. " I said approaching my hand but after looking up my heart sank. "What are you doing here??!!" I exclaimed.
