Crossed Street Quote by Betty Ren Wright
““He looked serious—worried, Erin decided—but as he crossed the street, his expression changed. He tilted his visored cap over one eye and leaned through the open car window. "The coast is clear, sister," he said in a gangster whisper. "Drop my raincoat over the loot, and I'll smuggle it in.””
