Chapter One Two Weeks Later Cadence
It had been a really long day and I was starting to feel tired; it had been a hell of a few weeks. My job search had still come up with nothing and I was starting to wonder if coming to California was really the best thing for me. How was I going to pay my bills if I couldn't find a job? I didn't realize just how hard it was going to be. I was burning through my savings like crazy and it was really starting to scare me. What would happen if I didn't find a job soon? God, I didn't even want to think about returning to Illinois with my tail between my legs. This was supposed to be a fresh start for me. Yes, I was there to avenge my parents’ death but I was also there to make something of myself. I couldn't be back in Illinois without my parents. There were just too many memories waiting back there for me and it was all a little too much for me to take. No, I was determined to make this fresh start work. All I needed was to find a job before I was officially broke. If something didn't happen soon I would have to resort to praying. I finished washing the dishes and decided to open a bottle of wine and relax. There was nothing that made me feel better than curling up with a glass of wine and reading a good book. I hadn't had the opportunity yet to do any reading because my mourning had consumed me for so many months and then there was the job search. I was debating about seeing a movie but I was so tired that I wasn't sure if I would just fall asleep. A book was always better anyways. I popped the cork, poured the wine into a glass and took a slow sip of the delicious wine. Maybe I should just drink the whole thing and get hammered. I had nowhere to go in the morning anyway. I leaned my head back on my couch and once again considered putting on a movie. I turned the book over, however, and read the back cover to see what I was getting myself into. It sounded like a scintillating mystery with a little dirty action to it. Perfect, sounded just like my kind of book. My phone rang and when I looked over I didn't recognize the number. I picked it up and stared at it, wondering if I should answer. It could be a job, you fool! Of course you're going to answer it. I clicked on the answer button. “Hello?” “Cadence, it's Damon here.” My breath caught and I almost didn't respond. “Oh Damon. Hi, what's up?” What's up?! What is wrong with you? Why couldn't I sound elegant for one minute? Or at the very least professional. “I'm just calling to let you know that your credentials checked out. Which means that the job is all yours. Congratulations, that is if you still want it.” “That's amazing, wow! Thank you so much, Damon. I absolutely accept your offer.” “Great, I'm so glad. Can you start tomorrow? That would be most beneficial to me.” “Absolutely.” I was as giddy as a school girl. “Okay, I will see you in the morning. I’ll text the address.” “Thank you again, Damon.” “No problem, Cadence. Have a good night.” I clicked off the phone and laid my head back against the pillow once again. Well shit. I finally had a job which caused an enormous amount of relief considering I would now have money to pay my bills. Thank you God, if you were listening. The job paid really well so the financial stress would be off my chest. There was just one problem, however, and that was the worry that I could possibly be working for the MOB, if it was true that Damon's family ran it. I was sure they did, and would need to find out for sure, but there
