After a night of heavy rains, everything seems so fresh and trees seem to be greener. The cozy and cool atmosphere is making many people hesitate to get up from alluring and comfortable bed.
However, the peaceful atmosphere is destroyed as a red meteorite is rapidly descending from the sky towards this beautiful city of San Francisco. Many people, who were witnessing this, hoped that it would fall into no man lands. As if the luck god had heard it, it really fell into twin peaks area. So, all the worrying people felt relieved and they continued their day.
It was just regarded as a special meteorite event. What nobody knew was a team of people got to the place where the meteorite landed just after 20 minutes it landed. But they didn't find out anything but just a crater which was showing something solid landed there. So they concluded that somebody got the thing ahead of them.
The leader of the team was annoyed but they could only go back with a prayer that things would not be as bad as they thought.
At the orphanage in the mission street, Emuel habitually picks up the newspaper and walks back to the building while drinking coffee.
Other people are either still in the bed or watching the morning news in the living room.
Today, Trissy and Mill aren't coming so the orphanage is lacking the cheerful atmosphere brought by Trissy. In the living room, Jimmy and Jasmine are watching TV with Angela and they are already in the neat outfits with well groomed hair as usual.
Fox news reporter on the TV is showing the captured video of falling meteorite and asking the passerby guys about their opinions on this event.
Angela had a moment of worried look on her face before she returned to calm. Nancy walked in with Reese and Paul, apparently she went to wake them up. She also sits down on a couch to watch the news while Reese and Paul continue walking outside towards the place where rain barrels are placed in the yard after greeting Angela.
Although there are three bathrooms in the building, they prefer to use rain water in the yard. Reese once admitted that cleaning their faces while breathing in fresh air outside is much better than doing it in a small closed room.
While passing by the pool, Emuel reminds the two guys who are playing in it, "Tom, Jerry, guys ,stop this, it's almost seven, you are going to be late for the breakfast."
It is another peaceful day, but Emuel has a plan. So, after having the breakfast together, he asked, " Anyone want a pet? You can tell me what you want and I will take them back if I can get them. Don't ask me expensive ones, I am just going to animal shelter to foster a cat, not the pet shop."
Yes, he contacted the other party last week. Today, he is going to get that little black kitten he promised to adopt on schedule.
While he was surfing the internet last week, he saw that netizens were commenting black cat would bring bad luck on a live stream in Youtube.
He felt sad by watching how people just determined the fate of a cute creature by its color. And it happened that he knew that channel which its owner introduced him to it. He often comes to drink in the cafe while he is working. So, Emuel could say ,they do have a little friendship.
Finally, he decided to do something. He asked the host who was streaming live if he could adopt this black kitten. Netizens who were watching the live stream ridiculed him but it didn't affect his decision.
At the dining room, after hearing Emuel's offer, Nancy was hesitated to ask but in the end, she said she would wait and see first.
Other people didn't have any opinion either. They all refused. So, Emuel could only leave by himself.
After walking for two blocks, Emuel reached his destination, The Skydiver's cats Shelter. A dozen minutes later, he came out with a small kitten in his hands.
He named it Sora, she's an adorable baby girl, her furs are all black and she has a pair of cute big blue eyes. Apparently, she is just a common domestic cat of no particular breed.
Although many people say black cats would bring bad luck, Emuel feels that it's fake.
Just look at this cute little guy, there is no way she would bring him bad luck, right? Isn't it his good luck to be able to meet her!
Well, at least Emuel thought so while lowering his head to look her in his palms, the latter is looking around curiously. She is so small as she is just over a month old.
Feeling the somewhat cool air brought by a breeze, Emuel put her in the left pocket of his field jacket and decided to go back first. But, before that he went to the nearest supermarket and bought cat foods and supplies which made him to spend nearly $200.
Fortunately, he brought his credit card which Mill helped him to open it. He never knew having a pet could be that expensive. But then again, looking at obedient Sora in his pocket, he feels that it was a good spend. Like that, he went back with several big bags in each hand and a cat in his pocket.
When he got back to his room, he put down the things first and brought Sora to the bathroom in order to give her a good bath.
While having lunch, everyone is surprised by cute Sora who is eating her canned cat food beside Emuel on the dining table. Although she is occupying a small space between her and Emuel, Jasmine didn't shout out aloud according to her OCD rarely. She is even trying to touch Sora.
Emuel feels that a cute pet might have cured her OCD. So, he put an agenda in his mind to get a cute pet for Jasmine. He has no plans for Jimmy as the guy wasn't even showing any interest.
After having lunch, Emuel gave Sora to Jasmine and asked her to take care of Sora. He works in a cafe so he can't bring pet to work. It might affect his job if the customers complained.
At least, he has accepted the fact that he gotta earn some money for cat food. Especially as they're quite expensive. He somehow wants to complain why cat foods are more expensive than human's food because it costs $2 a can while you can get one dozen eggs for $1.
You know, it's almost at the same amount of money which he gets paid for one hour part time work. He really feels frustrated.
After recalling a piece of news from today's newspaper, Emuel decided to put the money he saved in investments. But he feels that he should ask Mill for some advice first.
One afternoon passed, they put Sora with Angela who was sitting on a rocking chair in the garden. They trained hard to have a healthy and strong body.
Time flies really fast, after having dinner, everyone went to do their own things. Tonight, Angela went back to her room early. So, Emuel also left the lonely living room after turning off the TV and lights.
Back in his room, Emuel places Sora on the bed and plays with her. After he got bored, he began reading book while placing Sora on his stomach. Little guy was just honestly dozing off on it.
At that time, someone knocked the door. When Emuel opened the door while holding Sora, he saw Nancy and Jasmine who couldn't wait to take over Sora from him.
The two came inside and started playing with Sora who got cheered up again after a nap. While they are playing, Jasmine asked Emuel shyly, " Does your offer in the morning still work? I think I want to raise a cat too."
Nancy also raised her head and added quickly, "I also want one."
Emuel replied in a smile while standing and watching, "Of course, if you really want, I can take you to the shelter to choose one by yourself. It locates not too far from here, you only need to walk two blocks away. And there are plenty of cute little guys like Sora. You will be amazed."
Two girls cheered happily. Finally, they got an agreement to go there on Saturday as they don't have to study during weekends.
As they left, Emuel looked at the clock which was showing 10 o'clock and went bed to sleep after placing Sora in her cat bed under his bed.
In a dark and quiet room, several people in hoods are surrounding a rock and discussing.
One asked in doubts, "Are you sure it means that?"
The guy looking at the rock with a flash light replied without even raising his head, "I studied ancient Egyptian language at the college, I trust my translation level. If you don't, you can hire someone to translate again.
The one who asked in doubted defended himself, "OK, ok, I just wanted to make it sure. After all, it's important. If something went wrong, we will not end up well."
A guy who is playing with his phone laughed, "You're saying like we are doing well now. Don't forget the guys coming after us, we have no other choice."
Another one echoed, "Yes, at least, we gotta try this ray of hope."
That rock is actually the missing meteorite in the news. Surprisingly, its surfaces are full of tiny writings.
