Book Excerpt

Cross Roads

Mori froze and glared at Gloria. Her face became red as she pushed Cue away and lunged at her. “You witch! Who asked you to be here?”

She grabbed Gloria, pulled her to the floor, and pounced on her. Gloria was quick to catch her fist before it struck and they rolled on the floor, tangled together as one. Ben and Cue jumped in to break them up but not until both women had engaged in hair pulling and fingernail gouging. Cue held onto Gloria while Ben pulled Mori to her feet and forced her to follow him to the other side of the room.

“Both of you, get a grip.” Cue was furious. “Mori, you’d better get used to Gloria’s presence, she’s here to stay, at least, for now. And, Gloria. Would you quit baiting her into a fight? We need you both to help out with the real crisis here.” He trembled with anger as he bolted out of the room.
