At the apex of the stairs, a heavy metal barn door slid across its track to reveal the top level of the warehouse. There, Quinn held court among Italian leather sofas and flat screen TVs, billiards tables and a bar. The short, dark-haired older man wore a Members Only jacket and the air of a cop free from the restraint of pretending to be law-abiding.
"Let's go in my office," he said, opening the private doors. He shooed out a gaggle of high school girls doing lines of coke on his desk and sat down behind it.
"What can I do for you, Kaine? You've never wasted my time trying to get a meeting before, so I figured it had to be important."
"Thank you, Mr. Quinn. Just wanted to let you know about a situation."
"Oh yeah? What's up?"
"The black girl Cody and Bam got popped for. They gotta let it go," Keith replied. "I know he wants to take her out. But he can't."
Quinn smiled like the thought amused him, crows feet crinkling the corners of his eyes. "And why's that?"
"She's got connections to the DA's office, judges, the goddamn attorney general. It'll bring a storm of scrutiny if the guys keep messing with her. You don't want that."
This was an enjoyable read, one that I was not expecting. The story was told in a way that many people will relate to. I took off a start because the Book ended abruptly.
This was a different take on racism and portrayed both side;which was an unexpected twist. The book is definitely hot where needed. I took off a star for editing which was a little distracting but didn't take away from the overall story
Seem like the book suddenly stop. I wanted Niall to get caught and face justice just like the other two. Kendra father wasn’t no different from Keith dad. Both have issues and hatred in their heart.
