Maybe ignorance is bliss...

The pouring rain washed away my tears and filled the silence around me, yet not being able to drown out the ringing in my ears from the gunshots.
I slid down the wall until I was sitting on the ground, too unmotivated to fight against the sleepiness that took over me.
As the dark began to consume me, I felt a familiar hand stroke my cheek and the comforting feeling of warm leather enveloping my shoulders.
"Why?" that was the last word I uttered before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

                                                                       _________________________

What if you threw your life away and the world threw it back? If you found yourself in credit to the value of one life? Would you spend that credit on a worthy cause, if fate offered up the chance? **** Alone and a long way from home, Nick's big city adventure is not going at all to plan. With his dreams in ruins and his world crumbling around him, he's struggling to see a way out. Ripped from her everyday life, isolated and imprisoned, Mica's one desperate wish is to escape the urbane monster who sees her as nothing more than a plaything. And for Jaime Salazar, wealth, privilege and power are not enough. At the head of his global crime syndicate, he'll stop at nothing until he has all he wants. Two lost souls, brought together by the strangest of circumstances, find themselves pitted against a crime lord with no mercy in a city that doesn't care. And with so little left to lose, neither will hesitate to risk it all. "Don't say what you're about to say. You can't. Because, right now, if all of this ends, it doesn't matter.
