They all laughed.
“But it is a good question. What conclusions do you want us to draw from that?”
“That Rona King took over her father’s business when she got off the plane and AD met her in baggage claim,” Rain told Black and Bobby.
“Agreed,” they each said.
“What do you want me to do?” Rain asked.
“It’s your move. Draw her out. Make her come to you,” Black said, and you can pretty much tell what that meant to Rain.
Kill Rona King, and then go about systematically shutting down, killing and burning to the ground her entire operation.
“I’m going to Freeport for a couple of days. There’s a bad storm coming, so I’m going to bring the family up here until it passes,” Black said.
“Need company?” Bobby asked.
“You are always welcome. I’m sure M will be glad to see you.”
Rain stood up. “I’ll have this taken care of by the time you get back,” she said, and Black walked her to the door.
“I know you want to shut this down. But be smart about it. Understand?”
“Understood.”
When Rain got back to J.R.’s and parked in her parking space in front of the club, Alwan and Byrd were standing outside with Leo waiting for her. Once she got out of the car and walked toward the club, Rain walked by Alwan and Byrd without saying a word to them about her disappearing. Leo opened and held the front door for her. Rain walked in the club with her security detail in pursuit.
Alwan tapped his headset. “Latresia.”
“Go ahead with your traffic.”
“Entering the club through the front door now with one,” Alwan said.
“I have her,” Latresia said and Leo laughed.
“Now, if she gets away, it’s on both of y’all,” Leo said.
“Shut up, Leo,” Alwan and Latresia both said but they knew he was right. Cameras or not, if Rain Robinson wanted to get away from her security, she would and there wasn’t a damn thing that they could do about it.
When Yarissa saw her coming up the stairs, she started laughing. “Back safe and sound I see.”
“Where’s Carter?”
“In his office waiting for you,” she said, and Rain headed that way.
“Welcome back,” Carter laughed when Rain came in his office. “You know you got the whole damn security staff debating and trying to come up with ways to keep up with you.”
“Ain’t gonna happen.”
“Did Mike say anything about Rona?” Carter asked.
“Yeah, he did.” Rain smiled. “He said kill her.”
“Good,” Carter said. “Time to put an end to this shit and get back to making money. What do you want to do?”
“Call Jackie. We about to bring this shit to the bitch front door.”
