Excerpt
Two: Getting into the book, you're thinking to yourself.... Okay where is this author going with this.. But the story is great. It's like it's plastered on pages, a movie in the making. The power behind the story leaves you wandering.. Leavers you turning the pages as you're reading... And most diffidently leaves you wanting more from this author. The way it starts off... well, guess you'll have to read for yourself to really appreciate what's left unsaid..

MIKEL THOMAS DEAD AT 27
Greg studied the series of pictures of the same man, as a
teen in a high school basketball uniform, in a college uniform, and in a
professional one. The line for coffee at 8:30 in the morning was nearly out the
door, so it gave Greg time to flip through the story.
Mikel Thomas, 27, was found in his
West Los Angeles home Thursday night. His wife, Nisha, found Thomas bleeding
from an apparent, self-inflicted gunshot wound when she returned home from a
taping of her talk show. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Greg caught up with the line's progress and continued to
read.
Thomas, a professional basketball
player, had a troubled career in Philadelphia, Miami, and Sacramento. He
attended Pasadena High School where an injury forced him to give up a promising
football career. Thomas began playing basketball as a junior and became a top
college recruit. He attended college in Los Angeles before being drafted to
Philadelphia.
Shoulda played sports. Greg thought.
Thomas was involved in a shooting
incident that left one dead after he was traded to Miami. His repeated
altercations on and off the court led to a suspension. After a trade to
Sacramento, Thomas missed part of the season for an undisclosed medical
condition following a mental evaluation in a Pasadena hospital last Christmas.
Thomas had a history of drug and alcohol incidents, but detectives declined to
comment on that being a possible cause. The investigation continues.
Pretty standard celeb drama. Greg barely registered the
comments from the player's wife and a teammate about the shock of it all. He
caught up with the coffee line and skimmed further.
Mary Thomas, Mikel's mother, called
into a sports radio show late Thursday. When asked if there was any indication
that Thomas was in trouble, she responded. "He kept saying that his
disappearance from that Bliss bar changed him forever. It was that crazy bar
that killed him. I know it."
Disappearance? Never heard about that. How does someone like
him disappear without a word?
"Excuse me. Are you going to order or just read the
paper?" The woman growled behind him.
"Oh…uh…sorry." Greg stepped to the counter,
ordered, and added the paper. Greg went back to the story immediately. He read the
mother's quote again. How does a famous athlete disappear from a bar, and it
never makes the news? Greg shook his head as the article ended with a note
about survivors. That's it?
Greg tucked the paper under his arm, grabbed his coffee, and
headed out. Sounded pretty standard except for the disappearance thing. He
walked to his car on autopilot. What's stranger? A suicide blamed on a
disappearance or the disappearance of a celebrity that went unnoticed in La-La
Land?
