TAMIKA MOSELEY DASHED UP the stairs to the fourth floor and entered the room without incident. Locking the door behind her, she leaned up against it and closed her eyes. She lowered her bandanna. Her chest heaved up and down. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself.

Once her breathing had stabilized, Tamika thanked God for delivering her safely to her room. For the next two weeks anyway.

When she opened her eyes and saw flowers on the table, the tears came. Not only had Brian provided her with a place to stay for the next two weeks, he stocked the room with enough food—including cat food for Cocoa—to last throughout her stay, not to mention plenty of toiletries, including a new toothbrush, and even ointment for her leg.

But that wasn’t the end of his generosity. Brian also left three-hundred dollars in cash, a few Crossword puzzle magazines, and most importantly, a new Bible for her.

Tamika sat on the couch and shook her head. This was Christian love at its finest. Who would have ever thought that a chance encounter with Brian Mulrooney in a dented taxicab last November would have led to all this?

Tamika wasn’t even supposed to work on that fateful day. If she needed further evidence that God still worked through His faithful servants in the most mysterious of ways, she had it.

“Thank You, Lord, for blessing me with such wonderful friends,” Tamika said softly through her sniffles. “Please bless Brian and Charles for their kindness to me! I love them both dearly.”

Tamika fed Cocoa, ate leftover Chinese food, then took a two-hour nap. She woke and made a pot of hot water for tea, then spent the rest of the evening reading the Word of God in peace and quiet, with four walls and a roof over her head.

Her goal until Brian came back was simple: absorb as much of God’s Word as two week’s would allow and pray without ceasing that Brian and Charles would find a way to smuggle her out of the Big Apple.

There was nothing keeping her in the Empire State, not even Isaac. With their most common links now gone—Dante and Jamal—they had little else in common, including religion.

Tamika would try to find a way to share the Word of God with him, but if the opportunity arose, she would leave New York City in a New York minute!

That would be her constant prayer from this day forward...
