JAKE'S STORY (basically my application para...)
New York was obviously not the same as Tennessee; however Jake couldn’t help but admit to the fact that his southern home got a bit rowdy occasionally, too. Thankfully, though, the new security guard was becoming accustomed to the never-resting city. Sure, he’d never really understand why the people here were bending over backwards to get a job in the fashion industry, but Jake admired the determination of the people he saw at his work.
On his break after a six hour shift, the city-noob was taking a stroll. It was surprising how everything was going smoothly for Jake, because he was expecting the city to be tough to navigate and become a part of. It was just the other day, he remembered as he sat down to eat a hot dog, that Jake was almost swindled out of fifty bucks. Since he was raised as an only child working at a family owned shop, Jake was always helping out. Therefore, he was more than happy to give the dirty man some money. He didn’t have much himself, but at least he had a home to go to. It wasn’t until a younger man in an officers’ uniform approached Jake and the homeless fellow, did Jake realize the situation.
The security guard for the building Jake was standing in front of had a nice face, but an angry expression. The homeless man ran away from the cop, seeming to have encountered him before. “Hm? Why did he run away?” Jake asked, turning to the security guard. They were around the same height, but it was obvious that Jake was a few years older than the guard. However, the hard-guy persona of the other man made them similar in experience. The guard then yelled at Jake, explaining how it wouldn’t be five minutes before that ‘dirty no-gooder’ ran off to buy heroine with the money.
As Jake was now faced with the struggles of living in city, he realized how everything wasn’t going to go as smoothly as he had hoped. The guard didn’t leave right away though, for he wanted to scold Jake some more. Jake explained how it was a good thing he didn’t lose his money since he was unemployed, but he just wanted to help others and make sure they were safe from harm. That was what led the other guard to offering Jake a job at Obsesse Magazine. Someone was going to have to help get Jake’s act together, and as the young guard grumbled for Jake to follow him, he basically took on the job of guiding the southerner. After talking to the chief or “Boss” as Jake called him, Jake was hired as the newest addition to the Obsesse Magazine police staff.
While Jake finished off his hot dog, he smiled at the embarrassing memory of how easy he was able to be taken advantage of. He noted, though, that it hadn’t happened since that one day. It was obviously because the guard had given him tips after hiring him. Jake was thankful to that guard, and decided he owed the younger man. As his phone beeped to remind him that his break was over, Jake hopped up and off the bench to go join his new friend.
He grinned at the serious guard when he made his way back to their office, and called out to him.
“Dom!”
