Looking for inspiration

Still feeling a high after the success of your story on the secret celebrity escort service, you find it hard to concentrate at your desk while trying to come up with an idea for a new story. The bar has been set so high by yourself that you wonder if you can even top it. Whatever you pick next would have to be pretty good.

After a while of scratching your head and staring blankly at your computer screen, you decide to go out for a walk to clear your head and maybe find some inspiration in the streets of New York. For the world's busiest city, there must be something out that for you to discover and report about.

It's been rainy all day but luckily the downpour has stopped as you step out of the building. It's still pretty overcast and dark even though it's the middle of the day, and you regret leaving your jacket in the office, but you continue on anyway. You can always use your magic rings if you get stuck out in the cold and rain.

You walk aimlessly and it reminds you of the time you had done so shortly after coming into possession of the rings. You remember that day when you had caught the criminal involved in a snatch and run, when returned the money to a very grateful baker who later showed you her appreciation. Your body must have been secretly coordinating with your brain, as you find yourself in a familiar place, walking towards the bakery a block away. Grinning to yourself, you wonder if it's time to pay the baker a visit, but then, something suddenly happens that draws your attention.
