He had heard rumors that somebody had did a drive-by at their new club, The Late Night. He couldn’t be sure that Hawkins was behind it, and even though it wasn’t successful, Barnes knew that he had to act now. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“Yo, Dee, it’s Barnes. I need you to grab Kenny and dumbass Larry and I need you niggas to hit The Four Kings.”
“Tonight?”
“Now.”
“You got it,” Darren said, and Barnes ended the call.
When he did, Darren looked at his phone and shook his head.
“What?” Kenny asked.
“That was Barnes. He wants us to hit The Four Kings tonight,” Darren said.
“How he want us to do it?”
“He didn’t say.”
“I think we should get some gas and burn the bitch to the ground,” Larry suggested.
Darren thought about it for a minute or two. “I don’t know why niggas say you’re so dumb,” he said, and Kenny laughed, because everybody thought Larry was dumb. He was a good man to have around when the shooting started, but brains … not really his thing.
“We get some bottles, fill them with gas and we throw them at the roof, and watch that mutha fucka burn,” Darren said.
“Burn mutha fucka burn!” Kenny said and laughed.
At the same time, Jackie was once again in Rain’s office. Only this time, it wasn’t her explaining Fiona, it was Rain explaining to Jackie why her going AWOL was never gonna happen again.
“I needed you, Jackie. This Family needed you. And where the fuck were you when your family needed you? You were off somewhere getting your pussy sucked.”
“I’m sorry, Rain.”
“It ain’t like I don’t understand that shit. I get it. That mutha fuckin’ Nick had my ass so turned the fuck out that there were some days that I thought I would go crazy if he didn’t come fuck the shit outta me at least twice a day.”
Jackie may have laughed along with Rain, but that was exactly how Fiona had both her and Travis. “I know what you mean.” Jackie paused to give Rain a minute to stop laughing at her. “Anything that I need to know?” she asked because she knew the n
ight The Late Night reopened that Black, Bobby, Wanda and Rain had a meeting and she wanted to know what it was about and if Rain said anything to Black about her being out of contact for days.
“No. But you need to get with Baby Chris. I understand he was just havin’ his captain’s back, but if he ever lies to my face again, I will gut that pretty nigga where he stands. You got that?”
“I got it, Rain,” Jackie said and stood up. “I’m gonna scoop up Baby Chris and hit my spots.”
“Be good to show your face,” Rain said, as Jackie left her office. She exhaled when she stepped outside and then she leaned against the door.
“You made it out alive,” Yarissa joked.
“You were in there so long, I was waiting to hear the gunshot,” Baby Chris said. He had been entertaining himself by talking up on Yarissa. She thought that Baby Chris was a real cutie, but she had already set her sights on the dick she wanted and was just waiting until the right moment to spring her pussy trap.
“Ha, ha, ha … that’s funny. But she sent a message to give you.”
The smile on Baby Chris’s face disappeared. “What’d she say?”
“Rain said that if you ever lie to her face again, she will gut your pretty ass where you stand.”
“Oh,” Baby Chris said.
“Damn, that some cold shit right there,” Yarissa said and laughed.
