Book Cover & Preview Text
“Get the hell off me!” Shelia was being forced away in handcuffs by two stocky dark-complexioned FBI agents. Shelia thought about everything that took place in the last few months as they escorted her to the unmarked car that displayed bright blue flashing lights on the dashboard. Visions of some incidents played vividly through her mind in slow motion as the arresting agents pushed her head down last into the empty vehicle. Additional agents searched the house, taking cell phones, computer, and any documents they could get their hands on with a search warrant within their grip. Shelia knew that this was her final call but tried accepting her licks of punishments that she deserved. She wondered if her grandmother was calling her a lawyer as she asked before being escorted out the front door. She saw the disappointed look on her nana’s face as the handcuffs were getting tighter around her wrist. She tried to get them adjusted for some comfort, but her efforts were useless. Jesus, help my grandbaby. She’s all I got. Those words echoed through Shelia’s ears as she disappeared down the street. As they drove a few blocks down a winding road, she was beyond scared now, and tears of guilt, frustration, and worry filled her red, bloodshot eyes. Shelia thought about her girlfriends’ tragedies; she knew something like that would happen sooner or later. “Shit. She shook her head while in thought. Her son, Lil Man-he didn’t deserve this pain and embarrassment. It was bad enough his father was out of his life, and now his mother taken away in handcuffs right in front of him. Who was going to take care of him while she was locked away at the Women’s Detention Center like a fucking caged animal? she thought. “Damn.” What about the baby she carried? The motherfucker of this child was an inmate at the institution where she was working. The bastard made his money fast by selling dope to desperate junkies and small-time hustlers. He was able to get his shit flipped one way or another. Shelia knew that with all the charges she would be facing, she would be laid down for a long time. “Shit, shit, shit” Shelia said to herself, remembering people she dealt with being locked away by the feds and not seeing the outside of those jail walls for a long time. Shelia knew better; she blew her whole life in such a short time, like rolling snake eyes in a crap game and crapping out.
