TERRORISTS ATTACKING THE MALLS?”
Goldilocks’s comment stopped Angel dead in her tracks. Roc and Zoom had
used the same tactic. Create confusion, murder, and then escape in the chaos.
It was a timely thought that made her instantly aware of her surroundings.
She felt her life was in danger, saw it coming for a split second, and then all hell
broke loose as the mall erupted in gunfire and screams…
The first shot from Rahman’s bullet grazed Angel in the upper arm as she
pushed people out of her way. The second shattered the window behind her as
she dove for cover.
“F—k!” Angel cursed at the sight of her own blood, adrenaline pumping too
fast to feel the pain.
“Angel!” Goldilocks screamed, not knowing how serious her wound was.
“I’m good! Move!”
“A major pioneer of street fiction.”

A Preview of Alibi
This book is dedicated to my nephew, Andrew Wansel.
Boy oh boy, I knew it was bad in the beginning. I didn’t know how bad it would
get, and it was really touch and go there, nephew, because it wasn’t just
business; the personal fell apart, too. The funny thing about it is you are the last
person on earth I thought I would ever call a hundred and ninety-nine times a
day. But I did, and you answered a hundred and ninety-nine times and you really
were the only person that I could trust and talk to. And not only that, but you
actually knew what I was talking about! WOW! And you listened to me, every
day, day after day, after day, after day, and you really helped me and I really
appreciate it. You are a good nephew. Thanks for the ear time.
