Malik - will the tough gangster finally crack?
Stella had only been in the Bronx for three months, but it felt like she had been dropped into a completely different world. The apartment sat between a corner deli blasting old-school tracks from The Notorious B.I.G. and a barbershop where arguments were louder than the clippers. Back in foster care, silence had been her shield. Here, everything was loud — the sirens, the laughter, the music echoing off brick buildings tagged with murals and names she didn’t recognize.
