Thinking of this, Tiffany leaned toward Zoe. “While I'm out, don't bother with petty stuff like this. If someone starts -something, let it go. Not worth the trouble." "Got it, Tiffany."

Zoe, meanwhile, began her walk home, her mind occupied with the growing success of her charity work. The organization had recently received a flood of donations-last month alone, they had directed 6 million dollars toward medical research. This month's priority would be winter clothes for children in remote communities. Lost in thought, Zoe almost didn't notice the group of people blocking her path.

"Weren't you all tough this morning? What's the matter? Now that I've got you alone, you're chickening out? Con, big talker-hitagain if you dare." Zoe sighed. "Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you."

Gritting her teeth, Zoe turned down the other alley. That brief hesitation gave one of the taller boys just m enough tto make a grab for her. His arm swiped through the air and barely missed her collar as she twisted away with the kind of agility born from sheer panic. Heart pounding, sweat dripping, Zoe darted down the alley, her eyes scanning the street ahead like a hawk searching for an escape route. Then she spotted a familiar face.
