It was one sunny morning in the great city of New York, John was eating his breakfast and getting prepared to work. He was getting ready to start his turn as an undercover cop.

The streets were overloaded: cars , limos, and buses, taking people to work. John was on his cab, waiting for some action on his fourth day on the job. His cab was a wreck. Four days with this taxi and it seemed a tornado had happened inside, with his four bubbleheads of The Beatles in his dashboard, and a poker card hanging from the rear view mirror.

He first stopped at Starbucks and bought some hot coffee. Then he started to work as a taxidriver. The day passed by, nothing happened, all his passengers were boring and did not care about anything.

John was driving a fat guy to Times Square when some 20-year-old thugs were robbing Fao Shoarts. Jonn knew this was his chance, so he left his taxi in the middle of the lane and headed towards the shop. Before he entered, he called for reinforcement to help him out. People ran desperately around and didn't know what to do. John tried to cool them down, but he couldn't . The last choice he had was to enter alone. He couldn't see any of the robbers so he entered stealthily.

When he was inside, he saw two of the robbers heading towards his position, so he hid under a pile of fluffy bears. Just then, the police came in and neutralized the place in a matter of minutes. John was still under the pile of bears when the police released the hostages. As he heard shots, he was scared and thought that the robbers were killing the policeman.

When John came out of the pile, the store was closed, the lights were off and the alarm was on.He saw through the window that a tow truck was carrying his cab away. That meant he was probbably fired. Another typical New York day.
