Chapter Four: The Big Apple

*October 2023*

Jamie chills in the dorm room with the desk where he's working on the assignment when he thinks about Mia studying in New York and has a flashback about saying goodbye to his friends and Mia before they leave for Oregon. However, Clara comes to his room and knocks on the door Jamie tells her the door is opened when she brought the gift from him with a few colors of hats brown, orange, and grey.

Clara: Hey, I just wanna give you a hat to see what any kind of you want. If you don't have to, that's fine.

Jamie: I'm just taking a grey one. *takes the grey hat*

Clara: *watching him*

Jamie: I just saw you wearing a navy blue hat. Maybe it's a little fluffy hat but not a whole lot.

Clara: *looking at her watch* I'm not running late, I just need to move on because my other class is on the way.

Jamie: Thanks for the hat.

Clara: Sure thing. *leaving*

Clayton and Ava are taking the diner for lunchtime when they haven't working today which means they were enjoying themselves hanging out in one day. Clayton ate a few times while he was looking at the food while Ava still eating the food while staring at him.

Ava: Are you OK?

Clayton: Yeah...I have to get my life together again. But honestly, I have to save up the money after I get paid for weeks or months.

Ava: *hearing*

Clayton: *still eating*

Ava: I've been worried about these dirty people.

Clayton: It's always been like that. Many people are homeless because they want to do their old job like...

Ava: Hold on, just stop what you saying. I just described that I have to keep going when you would have to keep going. I don't have to worry about this freaking town, I've been worried about myself. My family told me to say, "Pay up and get an apartment in a different town".

Clayton: *hearing*

Later that night, Santino, Nancy, and Clayton chilled in the parking lot right in front of the train track from behind the restaurant, "Chick-fil-A". They always like to stay outside and chill for free time until Moseby shows up when he drives a little faster and stops the car.

Moseby: *gets out of the car* Do you think you're slick, huh? Huh? *pushed Clayton to the ground*

Santino: What the hell are you doing?

Moseby: Please. *looks at Santino* Do you think you are gonna keep the money of your own, trying to take advantage of me? *looks at Clayton*

Clayton: This is for my job, that's not my thing.

Moseby: Oh yeah, you wanna hold that because there's no bet, there's no game. *throws 5k to Clayton*

Clayton: *stands up* What the fuck is wrong with you? You couldn't give us a favor at the moment? You wouldn't give Santino more grand money enough. All of a sudden, you blame us especially because you didn't sell for us.

Moseby: That's right, that's my job. With all due respect, I have to let you go, both of you. Isn't that what you guys wanna do to get your organization? That's a bet. You can keep it then.

Santino: I don't need you any fantasy bullshit. You were always manipulating around the street in the past. You're a coward. Bitch.

Moseby: Remember this, for one thing, let's see how I feel. *gets in the car and drives away*

Nancy: *looks at Santino* You didn't know when you guys working with the drugs.

Santino: I can explain.

Nancy: No, that's how you feel about it now? That means what is gonna happen when you boys get yourself killed? *walks away*

Santino: Nancy, come on.

Nancy: *leaving*

At 4 a.m., The Zone prepared to go on a trip to New York City when Roxanne paid for their tickets to the train station as they got on the train to take a seat Clara saw Jamie sitting alone, and she decided to sit right next to him.

Clara: Did your friend know you were gonna show up in New York?

Jamie: I'm not sure. I called her again, but she didn't answer. I guess she's very busy.

Clara: Ahh. What is that you reading?

Jamie: Percy Jackson.

Clara: I used to read that book, I can honestly say, did you read the book, "Memoirs of a Geisha?"

Jamie: Not yet.

Clara: It seems fair but it's a good book. I'm not gonna lie, I'm trying to get on my feet and doing it alone besides this group. I just need to focus on myself. Maybe you should do too.

Jamie: You're right.

Mona: *looking at the window when she listening to the music*

Cameron: *checking on the phone and stretching*

Mona: Do you feel tired or not? *takes off one of her earbuds*

Cameron: I am up, now. It's not that complicated when I'm going back to sleep until they are not arriving until tonight.

Mona: It's gonna be a long road same as a road trip does.

Cameron: I'm not gonna give up all of this, when we get in there, I'm sure as hell we can hunt to this town.

Mona: That's pretty dark, Cameron.

Cameron: All duties called.

Later that night, everyone got off the train to exit the station before they found a place to stay for one night in the hotel Billy paid the money with the card for each room until they entered the rooms when they had a plan for tonight in New York until they leave out the town in the morning.
