    ‘What do you mean the Mayor is missing?’ asks Deshaun
    The Commissioner squints his eyes in confusion.
    ‘It’s quite simple really, he’s gone! What else do you want me to say? Oh I’m sorry a grown ass man went and vanished like a fart in the wind,’ the commissioner snarls as he grabs at his caseload on the desk in front of him.
    Deshaun looks shocked at the outspoken Commissioner.
    ‘You better watch your tone with me, I work for the Whitehouse, remember that!’
    The commissioner slams his fist on the desk.
    ‘I couldn’t give a flying fuck who you work for! Now get the fuck out of my office before I call security,’ shouts the commissioner.
    ‘Are you mad? You have forgotten your role in this. You answer to the US government. I am the US government. A bit of common courtesy wouldn’t go amiss,’ reasons Deshaun.
    ‘I think you’re the one who’s mad.  All you’ve been doing since you’ve gotten here is bust balls. You may work for the Whitehouse, but you’re a long way away from those green lawns and presidential pricks you hang around with. This here is my building, and if you are going to act like a power hungry dictator then I am going to throw you out of my building!’
    DeShaun’s mouth hangs open in shock.
    ‘ Presidential pricks ?’ he says in awe
    ‘Well…you know what I mean,’ laughs the commissioner
    ‘Well, I’ll be dammed; you sure have some big balls sir, but that being said we still need to find the mayor. If we don’t, then it could spell mayhem for the city. New York needs its leader,’ says Deshaun
    ‘Don’t worry. We will find him’
    Deshaun extends his hand out to the commissioner. They both shake hands firmly.
    ‘I’ll be seeing you later commissioner. I’m sure you can get the job done’
    Deshaun walks out of the office leaving the commissioner alone with his thoughts.

    ‘This is it; this is our camp you wanted to see so badly. I told you it wasn’t much to look at,’ laughs Ray as Donner and he approach the sectioned off sewer system in which Ray and the others have been sleeping in for the past day.
    The light from the blazed oil drum is much dimmer than it was when Ray left a few hours ago. He figures that maybe they are running out of fuel. The two little girls are still asleep, which surprises Ray, but made sense, seeing the events that they must have been through would make anyone sleepy. Mitch and David were up and talking amongst each other when Mitch’s vision had swayed from David onto the approaching pair, Ray and Donner.
    David smiles as he gets up and looks pleased to see Ray. Mitch stays seated and continues to stare wildly at Ray and his companion.
    ‘I thought you weren’t going to come back!’ says David as he embraces Ray’s hand in a firm handshake.
    ‘And who do we have here?’ He asks
    Ray looks at Donner with a reassuring smile.
    ‘I’m Donner. I came across Ray when I was walking down the train tacks a few miles away from here,’ she says
    David shakes her hand too. His suit is no longer looking dashing and dapper as the dim light shows off the tattered appearance of his attire. Everyone looks as if the clothes on their backs would fall off with a strong gust of wind. It’s safe to say some new clothes wouldn’t go a miss.
    ‘I’m Mitch,’ a voice from the floor says as Ray and Donner look down at the sketchiness of his stance while seated on the floor as if he doesn’t need to get up for new guests.  Ray feels like smacking the smirk off Mitch’s face, but he doesn’t want Donner to run off scared. They need someone like her to keep the proverbial ship afloat so to speak.
    ‘So how did you find your way down here?’ asks David
    Donner looks down at her bloodied blouse and puts on a face of uncertainty.  Her eyes flicker in her head as she tries to remember how she got to where she is now. She remembers the hospital room in which Mr Adams had penetrated her with a beacon. She remembers the
