plastic chair and crossed her legs, then leaned toward me with a serious look on her face.
    “I understand you were brought in here by ambulance last night after a violent incident where a man pushed you onto the train tracks. Is that right?”
    “Yeah,” I answered. I’d been raised never to give out any info to the cops, the welfare, BCW, CPS, ACS or anybody else who came snooping around trying to be nosy, but what the hell. Lying and conniving wasn’t gonna get me nowhere today. Damn-near half of Brooklyn had seen Flex knock my ass down on those train tracks. If anybody needed to be worrying about the truth getting out it was his crazy ass. “Yeah,” I ‘fessed right up and told her. “I got pushed in front of a train.”
    “I’m sorry to hear that,” she said and peered at me closely. “But I’m glad you survived it. I see he bruised your face up pretty badly. Well, the city of New York has a coalition against domestic violence and it allows us to provide resources for women who need assistance leaving abusive relationships. Were you living with the man who pushed you?”
    I thought for a quick second, and then nodded. “Yeah. I was staying with him in Manhattan, but I’m not going back there.”
    “Do you have any money? Are you employed? Do you have any assets that you can get hold of to help you out right now?”
    I shook my head. I didn’t have shit. Not a dime in my pockets, not a change of clothes or even a clean pair of drawers. Hell, I didn’t even have a cell phone, since mine was dead and sitting on the dresser in Flex’s bedroom.
    Shay nodded like she understood. “Is there someplace you can go? Do you have any family or friends you think you might be safe with?”
    I thought about Rita, and shook my head. With all the drama in her life and Nooni still missing, my girl had enough to worry about. Besides, I wasn’t about to bring Flex and all his madness crashing down on her doorstep. Rita was the one who had hooked me up to stay in Flex’s basement in the first fuckin’ place, and if that fool decided to come gunning for me then Rita’s crib was gonna be his very first stop.
    “Nah. I don’t have no family or friends around here,” I said abruptly, which wasn’t a lie. “I left New York a while ago and I’m just now getting back.”
    She nodded again. “Okay. Well, what I can offer you today is some counseling, and a temporary place to stay until you decide what you’d like to do next.”
    I eyed her. “A place to stay where? ”
    “New York Methodist Hospital works in partnership with several shelters around the city. I’d have to call and see exactly which site has a bed for you, but they will come pick you up and take you to a safe location.”
    Shay told me she was gonna head down the hall to her office and make a few phone calls while I waited for a nurse to wrap my ankle in an ace-bandage and bring me a pair of crutches. They put a big black boot on my foot and told me not to put any weight on it for forty-eight hours.
    By the time Dread came back with a Sprite and a bag of barbeque Wise potato chips, I had already made up my mind. Fuck New York , I thought as I tore those chips up and licked the salt from my fingers. I was ready to dip as far away from this city as I could. All I needed to do was make a quick call to Cali and get a bunch of my cash wired to me, and after that I was hopping my ass on a plane and heading someplace down South, or maybe even to the Caribbean or somewhere like that.
    I closed my eyes as reality came crashing down on me. I didn’t have nobody. No matter where I went or how far I ran, I would still be alone.
    I couldn’t stop the tears as they slipped from my eyes and ran down my face. Everything that was happening to me just seemed so unfair. Sometimes when you’re trying to do good, bad comes down on you hard. All I had tried to do was help Rita get Nooni back, and I couldn’t believe what it was costing me. There was so much danger
