In Dreams Begin Responsibilities

Chapter 2



Kayleigh walked through the streets of New York City on her way to Wendy’s work. She was so excited she almost skipped there. Her friend Wendy ran a costume shop not far from Times Square. Kayleigh opened the door and hearing the bell ring, Wendy looked up.

“Right on time! I was just about to take my lunch.”



Wendy finished up with some customers and she and Kayleigh left the store.

“I’m so friggin’ hungry I could eat a horse.” Wendy said and laughed. Kayleigh giggled.

“So what’s with you? What is this exciting news you have to tell me? You look like you are about to burst!”

“I got a job! I’ll tell you all about it as soon as we sit down.” Kayleigh said excitedly.



They walked to the next block to a sandwich shop, ordered their food at the counter and sat down.

“So out with it! This must be some job to get you all excited. I never see you this happy about a job.” Wendy said.



In a rush, Kayleigh blurted everything out. “Oh my God, Wendy, you are not going to believe this! I got a phone call from Phil, who is Dave Baram’s lawyer, who is the entertainment manager who owns The Firm.”

“Yes I know who he is.” Wendy laughed.

“Ok, well, Phil said that Criss Angel is looking for a new personal assistant and Dave thought of me! So I have an appointment for an interview with Criss in the morning!”

“Oh he’s that magician you told me about. The one who was in Times Square last month doing a stunt?”

“Yes! Isn’t that cool? I mean I don’t really know that much about him except i’ve seen his show, Mindfreak, a few times but this seems like a really exciting job.” Kayleigh had been so excited to tell her story that she had only eaten one bite of her sandwich.

“Yeah, that sounds like a great job! If you get it then maybe he can teach me a few magic tricks.” Wendy winked at her.

Kayleigh laughed and said, “Wendy, I’m trying to tell you about possibly getting the most exciting job of my career and all you can think about is learning some new magic tricks!”



Wendy laughed. “Seriously, i’m really excited for you. I hope you get the job. Now, eat your lunch!”

“It’s kind of hard to eat while watching you eat that organic crap. What is that? Grass? How do you eat that stuff?”

“I’ve been eating it most of my life and it’s not crap. That stuff you eat is crap! This is tofu with bean sprouts and......”

Kayleigh interrupted her. “Never mind, don’t tell me or I won’t be able to finish my food.”
