Out of Control

“Well that’s what you did,” Wanda said sharply. “By the way, where is the low life bitch?”

“She’s with Black and Bobby.”

“Are they going to kill her?”

“I don’t know. All Bobby would say is that she couldn’t come to the phone.”

“I hope they’re torturing her before they kill her,” Wanda spit out.

“Is that what you want?”

“Yes, Nick. I want her to die. Do you have any idea how you made me look? Parading her around the way you did and then you gave her power.”

“If you wanted to be honest with yourself, you’d admit that she did a good job.”

“Well I don’t want to be honest with myself. I don’t give a fuck how good a job that bitch did, you had no right,” Wanda said louder than she need to. She was so loud that she got the attention of the people at the surrounding tables.

“And that’s why I’m sayin’ I’m sorry.”

Wanda took a deep breath and looked at Nick. “Mike wants me to make peace with you. If I’m sorry is all you’ve got to say then fine, we’re at peace.” Without another word, Wanda got up and walked out of Cuisine.

Rain pulled the Suburban over and parked. They got out and went inside the convenience store that had been run by Sherman Williams. “He here?” Black asked.

“He’s in the back,” Debra said and pointed.

“Thanks,” Black said and headed for the back.

“Hey, Bobby,” Debra said flirtatiously. “Long time no see.”

“Hey, Debra. We’ll talk later; okay?” Bobby winked and followed Black.

“I hope so,” Debra said and poked out her lips.

Black shook his head.

“I told you I’m back,” Bobby said and opened the office door.

“I thought you said she couldn’t fuck?”

“Pussy’s pussy,” Bobby said and Rain laughed a little. Black allowed Rain to enter and then followed her in.

“Evening Rain,” Sherman said, and then he saw that Black and Bobby were with her. “Black, Bobby.”

“What’s goin’ on, Sherman?” Bobby asked.

“Money. Same as every other day.”

Black got right to the point. “Where were you in all this?”

“I was the only place I could be, Black. I’m with you, always have been. You put Nick in charge and to me, that means he’s in charge until you say different,” Sherman said.

“You didn’t have a problem with the way Ms. Robinson did things?” Black asked.

“No. Should I have?”

“Some people did,” Bobby said.

“Hell no, Bobby. I thought it was a good move. I understood why he put her out there like that,” Sherman said.
