Chapter 86: WHAM!

It was an hour or so before dawn and Shaniqua was sleeping. She’d drank much too much partying with the Browns. They’d wanted her to spend the night with them as she had many times before but she was anxious to make the final preparations for the move. She took the taxi to the newspaper. She made the final preparations then fell into bed exhausted.

This would be the last time she slept on the cot in the back room of the newspaper she thought. It wasn’t really a cot. In fact it was a very plush bed in what amounted to a luxury apartment, but she thought of it as such.

“What is it this time?” she was quite cross when she sat up in bed and sneered at the big man who had busted open the door. He didn’t answer. He just stormed into her bedroom, approached her bed and slugged her. She had been still half asleep from being so tired that she didn’t react quickly enough. He tagged her good and she was out like a light.

Shaniqua slept nude. The thug admired her body for a brief moment, copped a feel, then wrapped her in a sheet. He tossed her over his shoulder like a rug and walked out the door.
