Book Description
The book "H.B.'s Big Heist" follows Jack Winner as he continues his life working in the EMS and prepares to marry his fiancé, Melanie Straight. They fondly remember their last Christmas together, spent in Jem City Park, where they admired the festive lights, manger scene, and snowstorm. Jack proposed to Melanie with a stunning diamond ring while on one knee. Melanie recently graduated from Physical Therapy School and celebrated with a party at their favorite nightspot, Alley Burger Entertainment Center, where friends and family congratulated her. It was a joyous and overwhelming experience for her. Mike Saber and Jack Winner have been EMT ambulance partners for a while and have become a "WELL-OILED MACHINE," saving lives. Captain Jim Hawker, their operational manager, has inspired everyone at the Jem City Ambulance Base. Their ambulance transports have included critical care patients to rehabs, dialysis clinics, and doctor visits at various hospitals and offices. During emergency 911 calls, Ambulance 55 has been the team on the scene during fire rescue and crime scene stand-by. Jack and Mike were tight with the Jem City Detectives, Glen Delayo and Brian Lehman, two of the best for Jem City. Detective Brian Lehman was single and fond of Deidra Straight, Melanie's mother. Deidra was the head nurse at the Jem City Hospital Emergency Room. Brian asked her out on a date, and after a couple of days of thinking about it, Deidra said, "Yes." They continued their bonding and dating several more times, within mind Deidra's husband, John, who was murdered in a home invasion only a year before. Street gangs from the Jem City projects were acting up. Brutal games on the basketball courts for money took place. Gangs like the Head Bangers, Black Hawks, and Hell Hoopers were out to conquer their enemies. A group called the Head Bangers, led by Lenny, their gang leader, went to extremes for cold, hard cash. It included armed robbery and heartless murders, as they stopped at nothing. One thing led to another as the Head Bangers hooked up with Jermane and his people, who specialized in complicated heists and prostitution. Strategically, they planned a major robbery in a bank downtown. It was the perfect heist; they would make millions-if they pulled it off! While doing last-minute errands for their wedding, Jack and Melanie somehow step into a major crime in progress! Will they live through this to see tomorrow? Their chances are slim as the outcome unravels chapter after chapter.
