At the given time, Naomi would have given almost anything to be anywhere besides her current location. She had just survived some crazy person's shooting at a park, the only reason she being there was because of some stupid envelope marked, 'great savings'. 'How stupid could I be?' She thought to herself as she was standing on a corner spot of a street people passing her. After all that, some note given to her, asking her to meet someone for all she knew would just try and finish the job. It made her angry. She didn't want to go, she would have much rather gotten some luck and skipped town, but no, someone had her wallet. Her wallet with her information, her address, and the picture of her family, she needed that back.

The invitation said to meet on a café on 24th street, at a place known for it's prices. She hadn't been before, but a couple of people she went home with had some left over bagels and they were always good. Her first problem was figuring out how to get there. She didn't own a car or anything means of transportation, and walking in 5" Saint Laurent Thorn Pumps would not prove to be a very good thing. This left her with two options; taking the bus, or getting a ride. Normal people would have taken the bus, too much of a chance of getting killed. However, Naomi knew her luck would work out and give her a ride. She chose some business looking man walking towards his car, giving him some excuse about losing her dog, and putting her hand on his arm and giving him some luck. It was too easy. When she gave luck, the person was very cooperative with her, which she loved. She told him she last saw him at a café on 24th street, and he believed her.

As they rode, she wondered if anyone else would be getting this message. She had seen others who had gotten away, but only briefly, and she had always thought she couldn't be the only one who had.... powers, or abilities, or whatever they were called. The drive was boring, and she turned on the radio and got comfortable, it was a nice 2011 Escalade. She would have tried to pick the guy up, if it hadn't been for the child seat in the back, or the wedding ring on his finger. Upon arriving close to the café, she thanked him, and then decided to give him a kiss. A small one, no tongue, and get some luck just in case. She got out of the car and he drove off, his bad luck to start soon, she thought.

She straightened out her black undershirt along with her Red Firefly Cardigan, and then began to walk towards the store. It was surprisingly quiet in the store, with only a barista and some guy sitting without anything with him. 'Suspicious much.' she thought before noticing how, well not dirty, but messy he looked, defiantly not someone to eat in a place were they charged 17$ for a cup of iced tea. She ordered a croissant and black coffee, paid the girl 28$ from her purse, her wallet had most of her money, but she kept some in the bag itself.

Upon getting her food, she decided to sit down and try and find who ever had invited her here. She chose a spot towards the back, which wasn't far, just in case of another gunman, and watched everyone who came into the store.
