The trip was a long one. He would only stop to sleep, buy enough food to make it through the day and then keep driving. He didn't message or call Amelia as he drove, instead he made it a point to contact his friend 'Gator' and was able to get an apartment and a bar job for when he got there.
When he got into the city limits, he put in a call to Gator. He was given directions to the apartment and a contact to reach to get the keys. Within two hours or so, he in the two bedroom apartment and released a bit of a sigh as he put his leftovers from the trip in the refrigerator, then flopped into the recliner chair in the living room. It had the basics of furniture and a stripped clean bed that had a pillow and some sheets folded and waiting for him. He was grateful for Gator having the place set up with the bare essentials.
"Home sweet home for now,"
He said with a grin. He looked to his phone and sent a text to Amelia.
'Hope all is well. I made it. How are things?'

Amelia had been on and off the phone all day 9utting out fires left and eight and much to her displeasure her worcation was coming to an early end. Her boss called and told her he needed her in NY Monday. Which meant she had one full day left at home before she was going to be gone for who knew. A week? A couple of days? It all depended on how many fires she had to out out and clients that needed some coaxing.
So it wasn't till later in the day that she got back to Marlon.
Busy, complicated day. My workcation is getting cut short so ill be Outta town the day after tomorrow. No more rest for the wicked. How are you settling in?"

He looked to his phone after getting out of the shower, hearing the alert while he listened to the music as he bathed. He got out and smirk lightly shaking his head at the thought of his work-a-holic friend back to work again and texted back.
Doing alright. I start the new job in a couple of days. Right now I'm just getting used to the area for the most. This place doesn't strike me any different than Chicago as far as size and such. Its just learning the streets and everything. I like it here though. I probably should have come out here sooner.
Want to get together sometime today or are you too busy with work?
