A timely intervention
Joseph peered inside the cafe from the window, looking at the menu chalkboard. Looking at the prices of the food items, he knew he could not afford most of the food items like he used to. He had just been released from prison earlier that morning after serving a 6-month stint for criminal damage and assaulting a police officer, and he had not eaten anything since his release. He dug into his pants pockets and pulled out some dollar notes. "Only enough to get the cheapest sandwiches and coffee," Joseph muttered under his breath. However, he had no choice, as he only had some spare change with him, which would quickly run dry unless he found a job, but he knew that he would face difficulties getting a job due to his criminal record. Besides getting a job, he had something else in mind. Now that he had been released, he was determined to find out the whereabouts of Kimberly, the woman who was largely responsible for his downfall. However, he did not know where she was, nor did he had the slightest idea how he could find her. Joseph seethed in anger at the thought of her. She had made off with all he was worth, which caused a chain of events that resulted in his imprisonment. However, there was nothing much he could do. Joseph let out a deep sigh as he thought about his predicament.
