Chapter 2 - Welcome to Bridgeport part 2

As Ambrose made his way round Bridgeport looking for work, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was someone watching him.  It started as he got in a taxi just after he left the salon.


The feeling didn't shift when he got to his destination, the grocery store, to see if they had any part time jobs.


As he left the store he had a good look around.


He decided he must have been imaging it and headed for the book store, where he saw a help wanted add in the window.


He went in and asked to speak to the manager, who explained that there was a spa on this first floor and the add was actually for them.  He trudged up the stairs, and spoke to the receptionist, her manager was on her day off today, but if she could pass along his résumé.  Handing it over he hope that he would get a call tomorrow, if not, he may not be able to afford the rent at the end of the week.

Deciding to cheer himself up he headed to the True Modern Art Gallery, he had heard so much about it and being creative himself, he loved to see what other's did with their talent.


 He thought he saw a flash of light as he examined one painting.


Deciding enough was enough, he headed towards the nearest subway station.  Remembering to get on the right line for home, although he still felt a little uneasy.


As he exited the subway, he noticed a food van parked down the street and made the spur of the minute decision to grab a burrito, after all, he hadn't checked the refrigerator and doubted that there was anything edible in there.  As he ordered his stomach growled and he realised it was 7pm already and hadn't eaten all day.




Enjoying his burrito, he looked up and almost choked, he saw someone hiding in the bushes across the street with a telefoto lens camera and it was pointed directly at him.


Making a snap decision he decided make a run for his building.
