Breaking Point

by Carollyn Olson

Bobby Joe Crawford was a teen idol and two-time All-State running back at nationally-known Permiam High School in Odessa, TX. But his life changed dramatically after he left for college and re-connected with his best friend and former star quarterback Richie Wilkinson. The story takes you from Washington, DC, to Texas, to Cuba and back to Washington in a tale of espionage and a life changing adventure.The following is an excerpt from the “Is that who I think it is?” Katie asked, as she pointed toward record-setting quarterback Richie Wilkinson, who looked like he could still play football.“That’s him,” Sam said. “He’s just as gorgeous as he was in high school. He’s a millionaire, many times over. He’s in the oil business.”“Who’s his date?” Katie inquired.“Don’t you know?” Sam responded, forgetting that Katie had not been home for more than two days in the past 10 years.“That’s his shack-up honey, Bobbi Jo,” Sam reported. “Bobbi Jo, who?” Katie asked. “She didn’t go to our school did she?”“You don’t know, do you?” Sam retorted with a frown.“Know what?” Katie queried.“I think we need go somewhere and talk,” Sam insisted.
