anyone where I am going.
    Brady waits for me at the empty carnival grounds. He walks up to hug me and I can feel the tension in his muscles. “Tell me, tell me how much trouble am I in?” I ask him beginning to fear the stormy waters I am drifting into.
    “You can tell just from a hug?” I smile at him as he begins to explain. “There was a second body found inside the club, besides Rankin’s attorney. Is there anyone in your crew missing?”
    I shake my head, “no we were meeting with Rankin’s attorney to sell the property to him. Some man ran in and shot him, then ran out of the club and got shot himself as soon as he opened the door. I thought we were dead. I am still not sure how we got out of there in time. The other body must be the shooter.”
    “Who was this shooter?”
    “I don’t know, I have never seen him before. I thought he was a drug addict looking for money. He was shaking and sweating when he suddenly pulled out a gun. Dwayne pushed us to the floor and next thing I know Rankin’s attorney is dead and we are running away from an exploding building.”
    “Kayla, I was told the other body is believed to be Rankin himself.” He says, questioning me without saying a word.
    “Brady I swear there was another man, another shooter. Rankin? He never showed. If he did show, the shooter must have shot him coming in. I did not kill him. It would be stupid for me to do so in my own club.” I insist.
    “I know it sounds like a stupid thing to do, but the facts are, there was no one else there but Rankin and his attorney. His name by the way is Tim Flowers. You might should remember that.” I step back from him and he sighs. “I don’t think you realize how serious this all is. Kayla, there are witnesses that saw you, Dwayne and Exie fleeing the scene. Not to mention, you and Rankin have been going at each other for months. You had to know, if he was killed you were going to be the prime suspect.”
    “But why would I kill someone when I had already sold the property we were fighting over to him. I have no reason to sell him the property and then kill him.” I say, suddenly realizing all the contracts were left in the explosion. “The contracts were in that building too, but I am sure my attorney will confirm the deal was done.”
    “ Your attorney will confirm?” Brady cocks his head at me.
    “His attorney, oh no! The man I guess who …”
    “Yea, don’t count on it since he is dead too. Kayla, I will do everything I can to help you, but you have to tell me everything you know. You are in a lot of fucking trouble right now. The D.A. is demanding your arrest and they are taking great care in building a case against you.”
    “And Senator Welch is pushing it all?” Brady doesn’t respond, but is starting to understand how high up my trouble goes. “Oh Brady, what am I going to do?”
    “I hate to say it but … get the hell out of town. Run. Run Kayla and never come back.” His words bring back a bad memory and my body begins to tense, I regret ever leaving in the first place.
    “I can’t do that.”
    “Kayla!’
    “I’m sorry I won’t leave without …”
    “Without what?” Brady takes hold of me strong, but I pull away from him and thank him with a pained smile before returning home.

    “She is going to ask me.” I say, dreading the moment I have to confess to Kayla.
    “I know she is and I know she isn’t going to stop asking until she knows every detail.” Cranston says with a frustrated sigh.
    “How did you know? How did you know the building was set to be blown up?” I ask him.
    “I’m working Estrella’s docks and warehouses. I am trying to work from the inside, which must be paying off. One of the guys I have befriended told me he had a job if I am interested in making some extra money. I thought it was an opportunity to work my way in, but little did I know. I didn’t find out what the job was until right before I called you. They set her up. That
