Alex's POV

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock going off and that made me groan in frustration cause I didn't want to get up, but I had to because I have to go to work. I work as a reporter for "New York's Daily News"and I moved here to New York about two months ago. I don't mind living in New York it's actually not that bad, over the fact that there are gangs and criminals here, but other than that it's good. I have friends at work, I have a good job, I get paid good and an apartment. I got dressed and I didn't have time to eat breakfast so I decided to get something from Dunkin Donuts on the way to work. I got in my car and drove off to work.

Along the way, I can see cops driving by to probably catch more drug dealers and such. I hate how there are gang's, criminals, drug dealers and etc. in this world, it makes me sick. However, they do make a great story and it makes my job so much easier, I'm not saying it's a good thing that this is all happening I'm just saying it's interesting to report about. I like to add a little spark to my reports, to catch the attention of the people. 

A few minutes later, I got into work and was greeted by Jessica, one of my friends who's also a reporter like me. She had light brown hair that was straight and tied up in a bun. She wore back jeans with a purple shirt and a black jacket on. She had a light bit of makeup on so she didn't look tired or as if she woke up from a coffin. I walk up to her with a smile on my face. 

"Hi Alex." She said to me, giving me a smile in return. 

"Hi Jessica." I responded back and Jessica spoke again while I take a sip of my coffee.

"Hey Alex, careful when you walk through those doors, 'big boss Catch' is angry." She said, air quoting the nickname that we gave to their boss in charge. He's known for having temper once in a while. 

"Oh great. What a way to start my morning." I say with sarcasm in my tone of voice, taking another sip of my coffee. Man I love Dunkin's coffee, it get's me awake in the morning especially if my boss is going on a rant.

Our boss, Mr. Catch, isn't really the nicest guy in the world. Let's just say he has anger issues and likes to yell if something is not how he wants it to be or whenever he feels like it, in other words he likes things to go his way. I was walking towards the door about to open it but first I sighed and I got ready for the wrath of my boss and I opened the door. As I opened the door I see a chair coming right at me, I was able to duck in time before it hit me. I look to see my boss there looking mad and was yelling.

"Why can't we get a good story on that gang that calls themselves 'The Legends' that are going around and terrorizing people!?" Then he turns his head and see's me and I stood still and stayed silent in case he was going to shout again, he didn't shout but he did say it in an angry tone.

"Alex, since you're the only one left who hasn't given me a bad report....yet. I suppose you should be the one to be in charge of getting a report on 'The Legends'  as soon as possible and it better be a good one!" 

"But boss-" I started but he cuts me off before I could finish. 

"No but's now go out there with Jay and find me that story!!!" Mr. Catch shouted to me and the next thing I knew I was out the door ,with my coffee, and was heading outside with Jay, my camera man, with the news van that we normally drive whenever we go around the city for work.

"Hey Alex" he said to me while he was fixing his camera up.

"Hey Jay we need to get a move on the boss wants us to get some inside information on one of the gangs in New York, the one that calls themselves the 'The Legends' like NOW!" 

"Uh oh, well then we better get a move on then." He then started to pack his stuff up in the van.

I got in the passenger's seat while Jay got into the driver's seat and started up the van. We pulled out of the parking lot and headed out into the city to find our story. But what we didn't know was that we were just driving to our doom.

(Let me know what you guy's think about this in the comments~ THAT'S ALL FOLKS!)
