A New Dawn

He enters the building and walked up to the reception's desk where a lady sat around wearing a bright yellow blouse with a name tag on the left side that said Hermany. She was also wearing these extremely ugly glasses. He ignored the glasses and said " Hello I'm here to see Mr. Calvic" She the said "Are you Mr. John Keen, If so proceed to the room on the left" she pointed In the direction.

As he opened the door and walked In he saw that there was ten other guys sitting. As he was seated he realize how much he stood out from them, they were all middle aged Spanish men and he was the only young black guy. One of the men walked up to him " What's your business here kid" he was over 6ft tall and seem like a Mastiff with a bald head.

"I'm here for a job with Mr. Calvic" John replied.

"CC your errands boy Is here" the man yelled.

Mr Calvic walked out with a blunt between his lip "YO! John your here"

John replied "Yes sir"

"Good I've got a package for you to drop off at the docks to a man named Quaver" He showed him a picture of Quaver and handed him a backpack.

John puts on the bag and left on his bike and headed downtown to the docks. After about thirty minutes he reached the docks and searched every where for Quaver. On the brink of giving up he saw a yacht with C.Calvic marked on It. He quickly climbed onto the yacht and pushed the door open and saw a man beating the shit out of Quaver.

"Hey get off him" he grabbed the man and got a right hook to his cheek bone which sends him flying to the floor. The man returned to beating Quaver. John got up with a homicidal look on his face as took a brass knuckle from a table next to him, "Payback Is a bitch" he yelled as he sends a right hook to the back of his head, the man fell to the ground crying in pain as blood gushes out. John went over and kept pounding his face until the man pushes him off.

"You fool you knocked out my teeth I'm going to kill" he yelled as he dashed out the yacht.

Quaver looked at John "Are you the new Delivery boy?" John nods as he slips the brass knuckles in his pocket. He hands him the backpack and left. He returned to Mr. Calvic office, "Your late, got me thinking you left with the package" he said. John replied "Never sir, I just got a flat tire, so I had to buy a new one"

He hands him a burner phone and an envelope "I'll call you when to come In" John checked it and said " Sir this Is five thousand dollars Is there a mistake? "

"Its yours, you can rent a room and finally stop sleeping In the park like a bum" he said, John smiled as he walked out and headed to an apartment downtown.

He rented an apartment for a five hundred dollars a month, It was larger than John thought he smiled and thanked the universe for shining on him. He then took a warm bath and started to watch the television he bought on his way to the apartment. Boom! boom! boom! someone was knocking on his door. Immediately John remembered the man that threatened him, he flipped off the seat and crawled to his bag and took out the brass knuckle he bought along with the television, he headed for the one in his pants pocket.

He look through the peep hole in the door, he saw a man and woman. He sighed and drop the brass knuckles In a coat beside the door and opened the door

"Hello how may I help you? " he asked. The woman replied " Oh we're the Witker's, and we just moved here and we were hoping we could be friends as we are neighbors" they smiled.

"Sure whatever" he replied.
