Chapter 21

Tommy

Tommy's gut knotted. When Westridge had been arrested, he backed off from protecting Ruby and her sister. Crystal had Kade. And while Ruby was alone, he figured she needed time to heal. Then he received a call from his old friend, Joseph that his youngest had run away from New Orleans to New York and was on the streets. It had taken over two months to track her down and put her back on a bus to home. The pimp might be angry, but Tommy would have thought the half a million dollars he borrowed from Uncle Gustin would be sufficient despite breaking the pimp's face when the dude tried to stop her from escaping.

The shooter could have been after him as payback for mangling the pimp's face. Tommy raced out of the warehouse toward the building the shots had come from.
