It was a day Don thought would just be a normal day. There was just something that was bothering him, it was a feeling that something bad was going to happen. It would be something that he knew from when he became a boss in the mob. There was something that he had that he could tell about something that was going to happen. He would not have to wait long for there was a black van coming down the road. All he knew was that he felt someone pull him out of the way of the gun fire. He looked back at who had done this for him, it was a beautiful woman.

"Are you alright? I could see whoever was in that van was out to get you." Don knew that there had been many times that people had wanted him dead. "It is just something that I have to deal with being part of the mob like I am. Don just could not stop looking at this woman, she had long brown hair and beautiful green eyes. "Could I ask your name?" Don felt like this was his first time talking to a girl. "It is Tammy, I work at the bookstore just down the street, do you want to get some coffee?"

"Yes that would be great." "I would love to know more about the one that saved my life." There in the coffee house they talked what seemed for hours. It was something that Don never knew that he was missing - it was someone to love. He had thought that he had everything that he wanted in life. It was Tammy that showed him he needed her in his life. And that was the one thing out of his life that would be the shining light he needed.
