At night

Jennifer was on her way to her house.
She stops in front of a cafe to get herself coffee. She gets her coffe and walks towards the parking lot. As she was walking someone caught her eyes.

A guy. A BIG GUY He was wearing a black hoodie and was continuously staring at her.

She gets suspicious when the guy starts walking towards her. She concluded the guy must be in his 20s as the way he walks. He stops just in front of her and raise his hands.
As she observes his movement and sees a golden ace card in between his fingers.

"Be prepared

"Be prepared. "

With that he gave the card he left. Jennifer turns around to call him but he was nowhere to be seen. She was dumbstruck with what happened just now. She couldn't saw his face but was sure he is in his 20s.

Just then she realizes the card. The ace card was looking antique. "Thrones And Roses" Was written in it. Many questions was in her mind but her train of thought ws broken by her phone ringing.
She answered the call.

"Where is he? "
