It was another ordinary day in Miami for Sako, It had been 2 months of him being homeless on the streets. A month ago he had managed to get a job, but was now struggling to keep it. The stress of keeping a job, the lack of sleep he was getting from sleeping in a tent in an alley way off of a busy main strip of road with clubs all around it, Finding a safe place to save his money. None the less he was managing. He had saved up enough to get his own place. Today he had planned on going to look at a few places he saw for rent since he had the day off, He got dressed inside the tent in his best pair of pants. Which weren't all that nice. They had a few holes in the knees, and along the bottom hem. He threw on a raggedy unwashed t-shirt and an old pair of hand me down sketchers.
He crawled out of his tent and zipped it up shoving the money he had into his pants pocket before he set off down the road towards the areas that were more residential. It was roughly a 2 mile hike but he didn't mind. At least he would get his steps in that day. He pulled out an old flip phone from his rear pocket and called the number on the sign to set up a time to view the apartment. 2 hours huh? That would give him enough time to walk around the neighborhood and call any other signs he saw. Which is exactly what he did, two blocks away he saw another sign that had said 'For Rent' He dialed the number and was in luck, the gentleman was on his way there to get the unit ready for someone who had wanted to see it an hour from then. Sako waited by the sign for the gentleman to show up before following him inside to look through out the house, it was small Extremely small, the kitchen desperately needed new tiling and appliances but it was perfect for him. He had nothing and didn't need much space. It's not like he could fill the space there with furniture right off the bat anyways. He filled out an application before continuing on in his search of apartments, he wanted to see as many as he could incase they fell through.
After seven hours of house hunting and walking all over town he decided he needed a shower, He had to work the next day and with how much he had sweat today it would just be wrong of him to go into work the next day smelling so badly. He had begun his journey to the local YMCA when he noticed a vehicle following him. Odd, Why are they driving so slow. I better hurry and get to the Y to shower. He picked up his pace a bit more but didn't think to much of it. as he walked to the Ymca to shower.
