“That a boy,” chuckled Goose.
“What the hell, Dominique. Why are you cuffing me? He looked like a big gorilla wearing a man suit.
“Cause you might run, and if you run might have to shoot you. Don't really like to be hurting no females. Ain't my style, but Big Tony got something he want to say to you.” He said in a matter of fact way, without any emotion. Goose on the other hand, started giggling …show more content…
It was at a street fair for some local celebrity about several years ago. She'd adapted quickly to living on the street. Pickpocket tourist in the central city area. 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.

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
