Eve quickly made up her mind as she headed for... New York? "What?..."
To say Eve was confused would have been a great understatement. When she saw the sign pointing to New York, she thought someone had carried her off in the night and dumped her at the outskirts of the city. Only, as she viewed the city skyline, she noticed something was not quite right. "The buildings... they're in a different order than I remember." she whispered, unnerved. "What's going on here!?"
For a moment, Eve considered the thought that she may be mistaken but she had a very good memory and the city she was looking at was not her New York. Panic began to set in. "Where am I?" she asked herself.
Seeing the sun staring to rise, Eve decided to walk into the city to find out. She had lived on the streets before, the same rules applied and she knew how to defend herself.

"Could you tell me where I am?"
The police officer looked at Eve, concerned. "You are in New York City, miss." he replied. "Are you okay, did you hit your head somewhere?"
"This is New York!?" thought Eve, feeling her heart begin to race. "How can that be possible? This is not the city I remember!"
Eve took a step back from the squad car, her face turning pale. The police officer noticed this and slowly stepped out of the police cruiser. "Miss, I think you had better come with us." he said, gently. "You seem confused and you don't look so well to me either."
Eve trembled in fright, not knowing what to do. Only as the police officer reached out to take her hand, she...
