An excerpt
from High School Hitters
Charlotte inched down the corridor silently,
her .38 raised beside her pretty face. The sound of water came from
the bathroom, where light spilled out from under the closed door.
She slipped inside Tonya's darkened bedroom.
Moonlight gave the room an eerie glow. Charlotte
found the locked box that Tonya kept hidden under her bed. It wasn't
hard to pick the lock while her former best friend continued her
bath.
Inside was Tonya's .38 automatic and a silencer,
just like the ones Charlotte carried now. Next to them was Tonya's
vibrator and some rubbers. But underneath was the photo of Miguel
Sao, the encrypted sanction order, and a ticket to Quejotle. Charlotte
tucked them in her blouse and left the toys.
As she was about to slip out, the girl noticed
some other papers lying on Tonya's desk. It was the civics assignment
that Charlotte hadn't done. She swore silently and then jammed the
homework into her blouse also.
Tonya wouldn't be needing it.
