Chapter 5.

Disclaimer: you know…

--------------------------------------------------

At Kori's apartment is was hell. It was 6:05 and he still didn't arrive.

''I told you he would be late!'' she said throwing pillows on the walls.

I think you inhaled to much smoke…

Kori fell on her couch and turned the TV on. Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye was playing. ''Oh I LOVE this show! And Jack is so handsome!''

Oh, you mean Yannick Bisson? The Canadian guy that plays Jack the undercover F.B.I agent?

''Yeah, yeah!'' she said, watching the show happily. ''He and Sue make a great couple…''

Yeah, hen?

But just then, there was a knock on the door. ''NOO! That must be Richard…gosh he's early.''

…what the…?

Kori opened the door and starred at Richard. ''M. Grayson, you're late.''

Richard's jaw dropped. ''What? It's only five minutes past six!''

''Exactly.'' She said showing no emotion.

He stood there, looking at her with a box of doughnuts in his hand. ''Look I'm sorry. I woke up late after my nap, then I saw that my watch had the bad time. So I decided to go get some doughnuts, for you to forgive me…or incase you where hungry.''

He shoved the box towards her. ''Want some?''

''NO!'' she yelled.

''Well aren't you at least going to invite me in?'' he asked trying to get a better look of her apartment.

''NO!'' she said taking the box from his hands and throwing it out a window. ''Let me just show you apartment 32, even though you're not going to be moving in…''

''What makes you say that?'' he said raising a sexy eyebrow.

Damn…that eyebrow…

She rolled her eyes. ''Just follow me.'' She said unlocking the door of the apartment next to her.

Richard's eyes widened. ''But…but…my DOUGHNUTS!''

''I'm sure that they're in a happier place Richard…''

Outside, it was chilly and dark. An old, poor man walked by with nothing on his back except a light, torn rain jacket and a little cloth hat.

His baggy pants where dirty but luckily not torn and his big brown hiking boots completed the ensemble. Beautiful, n'est-ce pas?

Like other poor people in Gotham, he was hungry. He took off his hat and asked for donations but sadly, did not receive any. This old man, in his golden years, was not lucky…not lucky at all.

He sat down on the cold ground, his back against the wall of an apartment building and thought for a moment, curling his beard around his finger.

Sometimes, he wondered where his human rites went. Why would nobody accept him for a job? Because he looked dirty? Well, that was just plain dumb. This wasn't justice.

But like the past 3 years, he looked up to the sky and prayed for a miracle…and suddenly—

PLOP! A box fell right in front of him. His eyes widened in shock, as he approached the little box. With much hope in his heart he opened it and found 5 doughnuts. He looked back up to the sky with awe and back down to the doughnuts…and smiled.

''HOLY COW!''

Kori stepped into the apartment. ''As you can see M. Grayson, the ceiling occasionally leaks.'' She lied, pointing to the wet spot on the floor that she had just disguised earlier.

Richard looked around and observed every little detail, leaving Kori worried if her plan would really work. ''A little leak isn't the end of the world, right Miss Anders?''

''Absolutely…'' she said grinning her teeth and leading him to the bathroom. ''Okay another big problem here. The shower in your apartment does not function at the same time as the one in my apartment, because our bathrooms are…stuck together.''

He raised an eyebrow. ''So this mean…?"

She rolled her eyes. ''This means M. Grayson that we cannot take showers at the same time, or else the water blocks. No reason has been found yet, but the repair has been delayed…for months…even years, M. Grayson.'' She said.

Sadly folks, this was not another lie. It was the plain truth, and she was actually happy that this 'inconvenience' was not a lie

''Ok Kori—''

''You can call me Miss Anders…'' she corrected.

''Whatever Kori…as I was saying, just tell me what else isn't in perfect condition in this apartment.''

Kori acted as if she was counting all the inconveniences of the apartment on her fingers. ''Well…there's the floor…few appliances in the kitchen…Oh! The lighting has to be completely changed…''

''Well elbow grease can fix that! And by the way, incase you forgot: I'm rich. Hence the name: RICH-ard.'' he said passing his fingers threw his spiky hair.

She rolled her eyes, trying not to smile to his intelligent remark.

I have to admit that was…smart.

''Mr. Wilson!'' Richard called for the landlord.

The old man in his late thirties stepped in the room. ''Yes? M. Grayson, did you like the apartment? Will you take it?''

Richard opened his mouth and pronounced the three…of four words Kori never wanted to hear from him,

''I'll take it!''

OK! did u like it? WHats gonna happen? OH oh! XD loll! PLZ REVIEW!
