"I'm only going to ask you one more time." I say firmly. "Who are you and what do you want with me?" He frowns, and I tense, waiting for a blow, but none comes. I really need to shut my big mouth. "Apparently, I'm not nearly as famous as I thought I'd be. The name's Alix. Alix Black." My mouth drops open. The Alix Black? World-famous thief Alix Black? "Yep, and you're going to help me," he replies with a smirk. "What?" I protest. "Relax, Fireball. You're much too pretty to kill. And you're wrong about some things. I am a man of my word. I will offer you a deal. We're both after the information about this locket. I'll help you get the information and find your parents, and in return, you keep my identity a secret." I think about it. What's more important? My dead grandfather's reputation or my life? "Deal." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 17-year old Jess Hollens is astonished when her parents mysteriously disappear. In her search for them, she comes across a gold locket hidden in her deceased grandfather's room. Intrigued, she journeys to the nearest pawn shop for information. What she doesn't know is that she isn't the only one who's interested. On the wild search for her missing parents and answers, chaos always seems to make an appearance. Intercepted by world-famous thief Alix Black, Jess is pulled into a mystery that needs to be solved, a relationship strictly forbidden, and a secret dying to be discovered. Can one girl be the answer to everything? ****WARNING: MILD LANGUAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I DESERVE NO CREDIT FOR THE PICTURE.
