The Reading Warehouse

The time has come. China, one half of a powerful street criminal duo with her lover and partner Smooth... is a free woman. Once released from jail it's only a matter of time before she authorizes a series of moves which lead to her regaining her position as top B-I-T-C-H. Her homecoming doesn't play out without a rough patch however. Her 'other half' Smooth was deceived while China was on the inside. Led astray, and now... is beside himself with dark thoughts. Thoughts that are also intertwined with deep feelings of rage and vengeance.

China knows he is no good to her in his current frame of mind. Especially as a bloody turf war continues to rage on the streets on Chicago... mostly thanks to Smooth taking his eye off the ball while China was away. For the foreseeable future China will be pulling double duty. Running the crew solo while her partner in life, and crime gets his head together. The future of their organization now rests on China's ability to command respect from underlings, eliminate a rogues gallery of deadly enemies, and ultimately... avenge her lovers betrayal.
