Chicago, Illinois. Summer of 1931, June 8 to be exact.

A young man waits patiently outside a train station, his almond brown hair waved in the calm summer breeze. The train seems to be running late...

Gabriel Fischer

Sex: M

"Where's that confounded train?!" he hissed, "I can't wait here much longer or else the boss'll go goofy" suddenly the train whistle chined in the distance and Gabriel sighed with relief as he straightened his blazer and tie while the train slowly came into view.

A shiny 20th Century Limited pulled up to the platform and came to a stop. Gabriel reached into his chest pocket, pulling out a creased photo of a kind looking elderly gentleman. He glanced at the photo forba few moments before returning his gaze to the train.

Lukas O'Connell

At that moment the gentleman in the photo emerged from the train. Lukas O'Connell, the renowned pharmaceutical owner, stepped out into the harsh summer light. Gabriel saw this as his chance to advance forward and yank the old man with him only to be stopped when Mr. O'Connell extended his hand to someone behind him, a young lady- somewhere around 17 years of age- she was gorgeous and had the face of an angel. She had blonde hair that was cut into a bob, she had the brightest blueish green eyes- like a diamond of some sorts- at that moment, Gabriel forgot how to breathe.

"Thank you, papa!" the girl beamed happily, Gabriel's heart began to race as he saw her smiling face. The girl caught a glimpse of Gabriel staring at her, the two young adults made eye contact for a brief moment, she smiled sweetly at him with a nod before walking off with Mr. O'Connell.

That's when Gabriel realized that the man he had to snatch had a gorgeous daughter...
