Goose's face made her stomach lurch. She tried to loosen the grip on her arm and kicked at the brutes shins. He barely budged. Eva gave the big gorilla a head butt. The henchman stood still.

Sleeping in doorways and abandoned cars at night. Pinching food out of baskets at the street markets on South. Maybe, she was just 15, but she knew how to best survive the streets. It'd been several months since she ran away. After about a week on the streets Eva met another runaway. A tall skinny kid with long stringy brown hair.

Kept sitting across from her at the restaurant table flicking a cigarette lighter on and off. He seemed mesmerized by the flame. Tony's wife, Sophie, was cool and distant. Her exceptionally long legs were tucked under the table. Her piercing blue eyes watched every move that she made. Her curvy figure was poured into a low cut red dress that displayed her ample bosom. Drenched in diamonds around her neck and on her fingers. Her platinum blonde hair was in a high ponytail. Eva thought she was looking at an aging Barbie Doll, come to life. She learned later, that the living barbie doll was his second
