[New York City] Paranoid Visions

Negro please.

Samantha B. found herself in the big city of New York again, as she had always been since she had left her family and hometown in Texas. It was a riling, bustling city, but it was certainly a place for her to achieve her dreams if it didn't get attacked by giant monsters or terrorists first.
Graphic Arts dreams filled her head, but for the moment she'd have to pay her bills and stop daydreaming, a customer in the small bookstore she worked in impatiently clearing his throat as he stood before her, a young pale-skinned ebony-haired man in a smart black business suit.

Sam had been thinking of an interesting concept for a new sketch. Being in New York there was inspiration everywhere and as of late she'd been getting lots and lots of ideas but lately she'd been into drawing animals. A dog walker passed by the bookstore every morning walking all sorts of dogs and she had to say she was in love.... with all the different breeds of dogs that was.

She'd always loved animals....

The sound of a voice being cleared brought her back to reality and she snapped out of her dreamy daze. There was a customer, pale in skin color with long black hair in a suit. She gave him a small, almost barely noticeable apologetic smile.

"Hello, how may I help you sir?" She asked hoping the man wouldn't be too upset with her daydreaming. The last thing she needed was another complaint, not that her boss usually minded. She got the job done and that was all that mattered.
Wow. You almost made me sound interesting.

The man didn't seem too overtly annoyed, glancing at her warily and scratching his chin.
"Well, I'm looking for a book in particular...the author's name is Suresh."

"Suresh?"

Sam raised a brow at the request trying to remember the author on any of the books she'd had to stock. It was kind of hard to forget a book when you spent a good chunk of your day putting them on shelves. The author's name was familiar.... but she couldn't quite remember the book they wrote. For all she knew they could have written several books.

Suresh....

She walked off toward the back of the store where her boss kept a list of the books the currently had in stock, motioning with her hand for the man to follow after her.

"Did you happen to know the name of the book?" She asked.



Wow. You almost made me sound interesting.

The man followed slowly, nodding as he carefully rubbed his chin.
"Indeed I do, it's called 'Activating Evolution'...I think if you guys do have it it might be in the science section, if you've got one...it's non-fiction...I think."

Sam nodded as she browsed the list. Knowing the title and genre was a real big help.

Activating Evolution.... there we go!

"Yes, we have the book in stock. Let me go and get you a copy." She said and walked right on past him. She knew where the non-fiction was but she hardly ever visited it unless she absolutely had to or she needed to stock it.

The book wasn't all that hard to find the bright blue color stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the sea of brown colored books. She looked it over for a moment wondering why she had the sudden urge to read it....

Must just be the color. She'd check it out later if and when she got the chance to. She walked back towards where she had last seen the man.

"Here we go. Once copy of Activating Evolution by one Dr. Suresh." She said with a grin.

He took the book, smiling in what seemed to be joy and relief.
"Ah, great, thanks...so are you going to ring it up or is there someone else to do that?"

Well, he sure seemed happy to get his book but she figured it must be something important to him. She nodded and small smile crossed her face.

"No problem. Just glad we had it. Ah, Jasmine should be able to ring you up at register up front." Sam said pointing to the front of the store. While in the back she'd noticed some new books had come in, some new manga to be specific, and just knew it was going to be her job to stock them.

Not that she minded of course. She loved manga. Plus it was almost break time.

The man seemed to make his way towards the cashier, smiling to himself as you turned around and made your way to the back.
Stocking manga and such, minutes passed until Jasmine came back with you as well, sighing as she lit a cigarette.
"Christ, no business for the whole morning...it's really quiet today..."

Sam glanced at Jasmine and raised a brow. She really hated when people smoked around her but seeing as they hadn't really banned it in this store she couldn't complain.

"Hm? What do you mean no business?" She asked.

"You mean other than that guy with the Activating Evolution book right?" She said. She was probably just referring to how empty the store had been other than that one guy. She had to be...

Jasmine took a deep puff of her cigarette and eyed Sam lazily, sighing.
"Hmmm, what're you talking about? We haven't had any customers period...what a lazy mornin'..."

Sam stared at her with a dumbfound expression. If Jasmine hadn't helped any customers this morning that could only mean....

"That guy stole a book." She said in a state of semi-disbelief. It wasn't so shocking, they were living in New York after all. She let out a small hiss like sigh and looked at the clock. He hadn't left that long ago or at least she thought he hadn't.

Maybe she could catch up with him. No that'd be stupid. What if had a gun or something? He was probably already too far anyway...

"I'm taking my break now." Sam said and grabbed her coat from the coat rack in the back, making her way toward the exit without waiting to hear Jasmine's response.

She doubted she'd find him but she could use some time outside and away from the mixed smells of fresh books, old weathered paper, and cigarette smoke.

The sun beat down on her mercilessly as she stepped outside into the smoggy and dry but otherwise pretty refreshing air. People bustled up and down the sidewalk and it seemed unlikely she'd locate this random fellow in a suit among a sea of people, though there were a couple men with their backs to her in the crowd that could've been him as they slowly walked away from her down the sidewalk.
