==Biography==
===Early life===
As a teenager, Lyla and her then-girlfriend Chantel Adams were savagely assaulted by a gang of intoxicated youth that were later caught and persecuted by police detective Chuck Garland, whom she has remained distant friends within the years since.
The "gang" in question were later revealed to be a group of exorbitantly wealthy youth from a nearby prestigious Ivy League school, who, due to their high social standing and external pressure from their school and respective families, nearly avoided prison, much to Lyla's disgust and disbelief.
Once out of high school, Lyla dedicated herself to studying criminology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, earning a degree in criminal justice and soon after, her investigative license.

===Of Cigarettes & Copulation===
Nearly a decade and a half later, while on the trail of numerous missing persons in low-income communities and suspected trafficking, Lyla again crosses paths with the now elderly Garland, as a larger conspiracy of extortion, laundering and political corruption begins to unravel, with all the trails leading to one seemingly innocuous place.
Lyla was absent from Jacob Delsin's memorial service, however, sent her condolences by contributing a sizeable donation to May Lawson.
