Synopsis
It
appears that Cricket and Jyme have it all together now. They have a house,
serenity, safety…a normal life. But something always seems to take Cricket back
to her past…sometimes, her future requires it.
EXCERPT:
The floor was crazy that
night; there was a convention in town and it seemed like everybody was in the
casino. All of the workers apparently knew what happened between Trey and me;
everyone was hugging, squeezing, or smiling a sad smile in my direction. Even
Misty, in the cash cage, looked like she had been crying for me. She had held
me up at the cash cage talking about how she had a little house down
in Florida. She told me that no one knew about it, not even her husband. She
hugged me, and I looked away through the cage out at the floor. I was fighting
back my tears.
As I did, I saw a man with
a black blazer, denim jeans, and a hat. He reminded me so much of Jyme; his
copper skin and his height. I squeezed my eyes shut, patted Misty on her back,
and told her thanks. I felt like a fuckin’ charity case, and I hated that. I
was on my second break for the night and I went back to the suite to freshen up my makeup.
After I finished with my
makeup, I shut the front door to the suite and headed for the elevators. I saw
two men at the end of the hall dressed in suits. They saw me and froze; I
stopped and then I took one step back. They stared at me, and I was staring
right back at them. I slid my key out of my purse slowly; one of them saw me
and sprinted toward me. He took long quick strides. I unlocked the door and
shut it quickly behind me; putting the latch on the door. I ran to my room and
slid a chair under the knob so that it would not turn. I yanked the phone off
the table and I called security.
