{Written in First and Third person} In the streets of New York, Christopher Maurice Brown was not a man that you'd want to mess with and everyone knew that. They stayed out of his way and tried not to piss him off. Everyone feared him, from the citizens of New York to it's very own police force. But when oblivious and optimistic Amaya Faith Nketsi moves to New York, she isn't prepared for what she's about to experience in her new city.
