Talk about a terrible travel experience. Wait until he had the opportunity to fill out a survey. Almost an hour later, Ace was still pleading his case. In a back room somewhere in a secluded area of the airport, his answer remained the same.

“Listen, I’ve told you. I’m not a terrorist. I was just trying to get to my girlfriend. It’s the honest truth.”

“The next time you have a lover’s quarrel, do it before you get to the airport. Let’s go,” one officer ordered.

While being ushered to a police car, he took some comfort in the fact that the coast was clear of a curious crowd or the relentless media. However, his relief didn’t last too long. Moments after Ace was shoved into the back seat, reporters and camera equipment were on his trail. Cowering lower, he bowed his head and closed his eyes. Adding insult to injury, the officer didn’t seem to be in any hurry to avoid a media circus.

“Just great.” Ace groaned.

“Did the suspect pose any threat to security?” he could hear a female reporter ask.

“No, we were able to subdue him with little effort.”

“Right. I’m six-three and weigh two-hundred and twenty-pounds. It took more than a little effort to bring me down,” Ace corrected under his breath.

He hadn’t been in jail since … the last time he was in jail. Actually, it was two years ago after that stint for disorderly conduct outside a bar. That was when he vowed to his mother, brother, and cousin that his childish behavior was behind him.

Cameron had harped on Ace’s wasted potential, going as far as using his connections to secure his cousin several job interviews. Ace landed a position with his current employer and his business acumen soared.

With his mind finally made up, things began to change. He cut his association with guilty parties and unsavory relationships. Now his income, for the most part, came by legal means. Surprisingly, Ace’s social calendar didn’t suffer when he cleaned up his bad boy image. Then he met Talise and his life seemed to get even better—at least until a few months ago.
