James Elliot Broadwall was on the road, driving his brand new matte black Mustang GT Convertible. He had the music on, some rock song to be precise. He thought about how nicely his wonderful, money-making job was going. James was a playboy. Maybe not a millionaire, yet, but he was plenty of a playboy. He reckoned that in the last two months, he had at least slept with ten different women. He smiled to himself, tapping the rhythm of the music on the steering wheel. His life was pretty much perfect, at least for him.
He was heading back to his fancy apartment from attending to a meeting.
He parked his car in the garage and climbed the three flights of stairs that would take him to his door. He was, however, surprised to find a kid with a backpack standing in front of it. James took off his aviator sunglasses and tucked them into his suits pocket. He looked the kid over. Sincerely, he didn't recognize him from anything. He didn't know him at all.
"Hey, kid, whatcha doing here? You lost?" He said, bending down to the kids level.
