Miamor pulled up to a red light, and without warning, a strong hand covered her mouth. It might have been coldblooded, but that was the rule of the game: an eye for an eye. She knew better than to drink anything that Mecca gave her, and she wanted him to feel the hurt that she did when she lost her only sister, so she gave it to Taryn. Miamor kept visualizing the look on Mecca’s face when she told him that he poisoned his own flesh and blood. After the Feds searched everyone and took everyone’s names, they let the people at the party go. She had already contacted Carter’s lawyer, instructing him to meet her at the precinct.
