It was just another day In New York for me

It was just another day In New York for me. I was a freelance photographer and just finished up a job. Right now I'm bringing my best friend Neal some coffee because well I know how he is if he doesn't have caffeine. I buzz myself through the gate and go to his door and knock.

"Ah there she is" Neal said

"Your coffee sir" I said holding out the cup

"Thank you fair maiden" Neal said and I chuckle walking in. Neal shuts the door behind me as he takes a sip "How was the job?"

"It was good" I said "Paid very well" Neal grins and sits down

"So Tamara called just a little bit ago" Neal said and I hold back the urge to roll my eyes. Tamara was Neal's fiancée..and I didn't like her at all. I know she doesn't like me either. However we are civil to each other when it comes to Neal. "She thought it would be nice to get some food later"

"Mm" I said not looking at him and he sighs

"Lex" Neal said patting the spot the next to him. I sit down and look at him "I know you don't like her...but please do this for me"

"You know I'd do anything for you" I said and He grins. He wraps an arm around my shoulder and kisses the side of my head. I couldn't help but feel butterflies. I sigh internally...the guy I want but can't have. All of a sudden we hear a buzz

"UPS package for 407." The line disconnects. I look at Neal who was frowning

"You order something?" I asked

"Nope" Neal said and he pulls me up "Come on" We head down the fire escape and start running and we were being followed. We try to lose them but it was hard. I lose sight of the person chasing us when all of a sudden they come out of the alley and tackle Neal

"Oh my god" I said. I run over to Neal to check on him "You ok?"

"Yeah" Neal said. We look to the person who chased us down

"You have got to be kidding me" I said

"Emma?" Neal asked

"Neal?" Emma asked. "Lexi?"  I help Neal stand as Emma stands up on her own

"I don't understand." Neal said "What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here?" Emma asked

"That is the million dollar question" I said

"I'm not answering anything until you tell me the truth." Emma said looking at Neal "Are you Gold's son?"

 "What are you talking about?" Neal asked "Who's Gold?"

"You played me." Emma said "You're from there." "You played me." "And he played me." "You both played me!" "You and Gold!" She looks at me "Are you from there too?"
