It's 2:00 A.M. and once again, another sleepless night for Kalenna. Instead of lying in bed staring into space all night, she decides to go to the rooftop garden and sit there for a while. It's a creepy, dirty, and over run garden, but for some odd reason, it brings peace to Kalenna and it's like a meditation place for her. While sitting up there, a thought comes to her mind that frequently shows up: the boyfriend she ran away from in Mexico. She misses him, but also hates him for the type of person he was. Kalenna begins to think about all of his flaws little flaws, and realizes that was what made her love him so much. Thinking of his short stature and his fiery temper makes her shyly giggle to herself. But she snaps out of her little daydream and quickly comes back to reality. She gets up to walk over to the edge of the rooftop and looks down at the city below her feet. With only a few places still open at this time of night and few people still on the streets, Kalenna thinks to herself that what she is witnessing is odd, being that there was a mysterious meteor shower earlier in the evening. The longer she is in this country, the more she sees things that just blow her mind.
An hour later and still looking over the edge of the rooftop, Kalenna decides to go back to her apartment since there's not too much to watch down below. Before she does, she sees a young looking girl walking towards Watershed Heights from the Second Chances strip club. The girl is wearing a very revealing outfit with sky high shoes, which makes Kalenna ask herself how the young girl is able to walk in such tall shoes. At the same time Kalenna sees the girl counting a big chunk of money. Money. Something Kalenna is desperate for. Her eyes widen and a smile comes across her face. Come daytime, she will go over to Second Chances and possibly find that job she has been searching for.
