up. Want me to call the cops, just to have them do a drive-by?”
Chloe snorted. “As if that would do any good. There are too many real crimes happening. No, leave it for now, Cam. Thanks. I guess I’ll stay where I am for now, then, and I’ll give you a call again soon. Please be careful. For God’s sake, be careful!”
Clicking shut the cell with hard sharp movements, Chloe stuffed it back into her bag and stood.
Cold, grim determination hardened her. Logan was right. It was time to stand up for herself. She wouldn’t allow David to hurt her, or her only two friends.
The superstore she wanted lay some distance away, many blocks to the west, accessible by cab. At this time of the day, most aisles were empty, with only a few customers scattered here and there, examining the wares, asking questions. Novices, every one of them.
Chloe entered the secure front door and wandered for a few minutes, looking at this or that. Amazing how many items were available, how many types, how many sizes and shapes. It was bewildering, and right now she couldn’t spare the time to be bewildered.
She marched to the counter with a new-found self-confidence, as if she owned the place, and buttonholed the clerk. “Yes, ma’am.” He turned away from stocking a nearby shelf to ask solicitously, “Anything I can help you with?”
“Yes,” said Chloe firmly, shifting her tote. “I need some information. I want to buy a gun.”

I Need Your Help!
Here’s the thing about a book: the characters are real, the feelings are there, and in some dimension these guys all exist. The best thing you can do for me is share their story. It comes from the heart and it’s meant to inspire people.
Books bring joy, entertainment, pain and make you feel something real. If you read this book and it makes your heart bleed a little, please share that emotion by leaving a review.
Any and all reviews are greatly appreciated and could help me touch the lives of others. Every person I know has read a book that’s changed them in some way – for me, it was Catcher in the Rye – and I’m hoping that this one will touch someone else’s life.
Reviews can help that happen and can help new authors break into a market, which is inundated with a glut of self-published novel of a relatively low quality. Don’t let this story get lost in that slush pile. Help me soar, by sharing. You’ll sure make my day. ;)
It don’t gotta be five star, but it sure shouldn’t be one star. Leave your honest review while I’m working on the next novel for you to enjoy.

About the Author
Melissa Shaw lives in the land of Prince Hamlet in a gorgeous suburb of Copenhagen, and uses the surrounds to craft romances which touch on the truth behind humanity. She likes strong female characters, flawed men, and strong bourbon. When she’s not hunched over her laptop, she’s wandering the streets searching for inspiration or sipping coffee at the local shop. Mostly she’s just writing. That’s what she does best.
