"Gosh," I mumbled, before smothering my hands on my face.

I sat back, slamming the lid on my laptop.
I looked around the library, seeing that everyone had left - how long have I been here?

I jumped forward, opening my laptop once again to check the time.

22:47.

oh shit.

the dog daycare closed at 8.

oh my god!?

MY DOG.

In a hurry, i threw my laptop into its case. I ran towards the exit, not bothering to throw away my coffee cup I left - ill be back tommorow anyways.

I ran towards the doors and tried to open it. But it just wouldnt budge- locked. Why on earth didnt i think of this?

Walking over to a window, i forced it open.as I was peering down down the road below me - it wasnt that far. Just a couple metres. 3 or 4.

I took a deep breathe, making sure my laptop case is closed. 

I closed my eyes before making a small prayer to myself - i havent always been Christian but now I was. Most certainly, my dog needs me (the city)

But then i was bombarded with an overwhelming sense of doubt- will i break a bone? Might. Will I die? Probably not.

But, theres one thing I live by.

Yolo.

It was now 00:12, and I couldnt sleep- especially from the fear of losing my baby, also the fact that I needed to get this project started - I only have a fortnight.

I clicked on the information again.

I think ill research all the gangs in my area- afterall, theyre just conspiracys.

But before I do that, im gonna get some fresh coffee, because im not sleeping tonight.

Ive wasted two weeks, theres no coming back with sleep now.

I got up out of bed, careful not to step on the creaky floorboard and wakeup my roommate. I walked to the kitchen, shivering at the fact I have a thin tshirt on with my spiderman shorts- ive never even seen spiderman, heck, i hate marvel, but these were the best 1 dollar ive ever spent.

Opening the fridge, I saw my iced frappuccino, even though im cold, I love iced things; its just better.

I grabbed the starbucks and hurried back into my room and jumped under my covers.

Immediately, I searched
'New york gangs.'

I saw a few criminals who had been jailed, but nothing else. I needed to go deeper - more dangerous. But then I saw it.

'New York's Biggest Mafia to still be running in 2023' without thinking, I clicked  on it. This is exactly what I need, something big. Something interesting.

I scrolled and began reading

'New Yorks's Biggest Gang, now being marked as another Ruthless Gang. Street words say they're still roaming and killing those who fear them most, the Russians.

Police still have no face to match the gruesome leaders, but various different kills with the same marking on it, declares that they are the killers'.

This was good, but i needed to go further. I needed to get a face, a name, something personal atleast.

So obviously, I dug deeper. Scrolling all the varieties of different websites until I found an unamed link.

This has to be it.

Pressing, I squinted, expecting there to be some gruesome murder photo from some murder but no, it was one of those 'nyan cat' things. But it did have Anna, 7 miles away in the town centre. Does it know im a girl?

I went to close the tab, but something caught my eye. Behind all the nyanyanyanyanyan, there was something. I pressed, this will be something. I can almost feel it.

The website loaded. And loaded. And loaded. Until finally, it came up with a name.

Valentino Rafaello

The italian mafia leader -are Italians even real?

He also owns the New York gangs. Hmm. Did I discover something? Then, more pictures popped up. Gross, more men.

Until three stood beside Valentino. They all looked closely. The caption said

'The Rafaello Brothers, notorious for owning the largest New York Gang.'

I immediately screenshotted on my mac.

This was it.

I switched tabs onto my essay and began writing.
