Eve's Time: A Fish Out of Water
James Patterson appeared from the Cook County courthouse’s holding cell area wearing a tan-colored shirt and pants with capital, bold, black letters “DOC”, which stood for Department of Corrections, written on the back. His hair was braided in unneat lines of cornrows, much different from the wild afro he had on the last day of his freedom almost four weeks ago. Eve smiled inwardly thinking of James sitting between the muscular legs of a fellow male inmate nicknamed Killah getting his hair did. Eve and James raised their right hands, as much as one could still being handcuffed, and swore before God and the court to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She knew that the judge didn’t really want to hear the whole truth; she wasn’t sure if she even knew the truth anymore. The two jilted lovers, occasionally talking over one another, gave their final accounts of that miserable evening the previous month that landed James behind bars and Eve in the hospital. They both stood there with visible and invisible scars from that evening. Although their physical scars had mostly healed, they were still fighting – James for his freedom, Eve for her sanity.

Eve's Time: Fallen Angels...Martin's Intro
The sun streamed through Martin’s bedroom window like an unwelcome relative from out of town, bothersome yet familiar. His eyes refused to stay open and his breath offended his nose without apology. “Oh God,” Martin thought. “Not again, I might have a drinking problem.” Martin forced his eyes open and looked directly at the offending window, the one allowing the sun to stream in, and let his mind drift. Martin Luther Johnson was the son of a Pentecostal Pastor whose shadow was so immense that Martin could never escape it. Martin Sr. started a church at the tender age of twenty-one and by the time God called him home the church had grown to ten thousand members.

Eve's Time: Olivia's Introduction
“You know you can’t lay in bed forever, Love, it’s time to get up.” Olivia could hear her husband, Jackson, speaking to her as she lay lifeless in their king-sized bed. The sun was invading the privacy of their bedroom and the privacy of her sleep. The sun’s rays rested relentlessly on her face as she kept her eyes closed and pretended that she was still asleep.

The Beginning of Eve's Time
The man’s standard-issue semiautomatic pistol was only inches from her face. Although Eve was less than 5’2”, without heels, and the man was much taller than she, the pistol was at eye level and so close that she could make out the infamous Smith and Wesson insignia on the grip. How had she gotten herself into this
