I flopped on my couch, and sighed contently. I was happy that I had been able to help someone, but I was still uneasy about the MNU agents. I knew they had seen me, so I just had to hope now that they wouldn't come to question me or anything. I shook my head, knowing that they most likely wouldn't care, and headed to my bedroom to grab some sleep clothes.

A few minutes after I had changed, I walked past my trash can to see my phone glowing inside. I sighed, wondering who had called me this time, and I though I was in luck when I saw a friend's name instead of my parents or Jack. I quickly checked my voice mail, only to find a message from her telling me I needed to get back there, or we wouldn't be friends. with a shrug, I resigned myself to having no friends, and i pulled the battery out of my phone so no one else could call. after I set up my new phone, I pondered about having a group that helped Poleepkwas. I had a feeling that none existed at the present time, so I decided I'd somehow make one. I wanted to plan more, but I remembered at ten that i had work early in the morning, so I went to bed, and hoped I'd have more ideas in the morning.


I woke up to the shrill beeping of the alarm clock on my phone, and I rolled out of bed. I was hoping Adam was doing OK, and I was hoping to see him sometime later that day. After I had gotten dressed in jeans and a sweater, I noticed when I looked out the window that there was a bus in front of District Nine. I was going to go investigate, but I caught site of the time and realized I had to hurry, or I'd be late for work. As I jogged down the stairs, I tugged my hair into a ponytail, since I wanted it out of the way for a bit. When I got to the bottom of the stairs and outside, I thought I saw something glittering on the bottom step. When I bent down to look, thinking it might be someone's, I realized that it was a thin chord, with a skeleton key. I pondered about who's it might be, and I put it in my pocket to ask everyone who lived in the apartments in the building if they had lost it. In a way, I was hoping no one would claim it, as I thought it was pretty. I decided to ask around, and keep it if no one claimed it, and the thought put a slight smile on my face. After a moment, I realized I was going to be late, and I speed up a bit, so I could make it in time.


"Phew." I gasped, sitting down at my break. I hadn't expected the training to be that tiring, but when I had arrived at the deli, it had been packed. The woman who was training me barely had time to show me, and I ended up learning...by doing. It had been utterly tiring, and I was secretly glad when she had insisted I take my break. After a quick lunch, though, I was back on my feet and helping again, and I saw her smile gratefully.

After a hectic shift, I was glad to be on my way home. I had almost forgotten about the necklace I had found, until I reached into my pocket for my chap stick. I held it in my hand and looked at it again, and realized that it looked strangely familiar. I though about this, as I stuck it back into my pocket and walked to my apartment. I checked at each apartment to see if anyone had lost a necklace, but the only other person who lived there said they didn't wear necklaces. I was slightly excited by this fact, since I would now get to keep the necklace. When I got to my apartment, I went to bed almost immediately, and my dreams were different ways the necklace could have ended up on the stairs.
