“That he wants to see me now at Jackie's.”
“He’s here?”
“Yeah.”
Rain smiled. “Yeah, well, have a good time with that.”
“He said to bring Ms. Robinson with me.”
“Oh,” Rain said. “Shit.”
Black went and sat down, he was still having a hard time believing what Jackie had just told him. He could tell by the sound of their voices that something was going on and that they were surprised that he was there.
“Something ain’t right about this, Bobby,” Black said.
“I was just thinking the same thing. I mean I know she’s power hungry, but I just can’t see Wanda tryin’ to kill Nick.”
“Rain maybe,” Black said. “Maybe Rain was the target and Nick just got in the way.”
“That’s a little extreme, even for Wanda. I can’t see her wantin’ to kill Rain over Nick,” Bobby said.
“It ain’t about Nick.”
“What you mean?” Bobby asked.
“You ain’t heard?” Black asked.
“Heard what?”
“Rain slapped the shit outta Wanda.”
Both Bobby and Jackie started laughing. “Why?” Bobby asked.
“Wanda called Rain a low-life bitch and Rain slapped her.”
“Okay, now I believe it,” Bobby said still laughing. Black got up and picked up the phone again. “Who you callin’ now?”
“Perry.”
The phone rang and Glenda answered. “Hello.”
“Hey, Glenda, it’s Mike.”
“Hi, Mike. You in the city?”
“Yes, me and Bobby just got here tonight.”
“How’s CeCe?”
“She doin’ a lot better than the last time we talked. I don’t mean to be rude, Glenda, but is Perry there?”
“I understand completely, Mike. Hold on.”
After a while, Perry got on the phone. “What’s up, Mike? Heard you and Bobby are back in the city.”
“Yeah we got in tonight.”
“Good ’cause these niggas are off the chain.”
