After she left Cuisine, Jackie went back to her spot thinking that she didn’t want to get involved in it. When she got there, to her surprise, Rain was there with Chris Toney, Memphis and Donavan. The men were gambling and Rain was at the bar. Jackie acknowledged their presence and went about her business.
If this was what she thought it was, it wouldn’t be long before Rain stepped to her. About an hour later, Travis came in. “Stay close to me,” Jackie whispered to him.
“Why, what up?” Travis asked.
“I’ll tell you later,” Jackie said and walked away. Travis went in the office to arm himself. As Jacki
e made her way around the room, Rain approached her.
“I need to talk to you about something, Jackie,” Rain said.
“I’m listening.”
“Can we talk in your office?”
“Sure. Come on.” Jackie led Rain to her office and Rain closed the door behind them.
“What’s up?”
“You know what’s goin’ on?”
“No,” Jackie answered, deciding to follow Lexi’s example. “What’s goin’ on?”
“Wanda tried to have Nick killed.”
“Wanda?”
“Why everybody say it like that? Like that bitch ain’t capable of murder.” Rain knew for a fact that Wanda was quite capable of pulling the trigger. Nick told her that it was Wanda that killed Camille Augustus years ago.
“It just seems hard to believe, that’s all,” Jackie said.
“Well she did.”
“Is Nick all right?”
“Yeah, he’s gettin’ better. He someplace safe for the time being.”
“Does Black know about this?”
“Unless Wanda’s ass told him, he don’t know nothin’ about it. And Nick wants it to stay that way.”
“I think he needs to know,” Jackie said.
Rain pulled out her gun and pointed it at Jackie. “You not gonna tell Black a damn thing. You say a fuckin’ thing to Black and I will blow your fuckin’ brains out. Understand?”
Just then Travis walked up behind Rain and put his gun to her head. Rain felt the steel and lowered the gun.
“Hand me the gun, Rain,” Travis said.
Rain reached back and Travis took the gun out of her hand. Jackie took out her guns and pointed them at Rain.
“I ain’t got no beef with you, Rain. But I can’t let you walk up in here and pull a gun on Jackie like that,” Travis said.
“I didn’t know you was in here. If I did, I might have thought twice about doin’ it,” Rain said and smiled at Jackie.
“Come on let’s go.”
“Where we goin’?” Rain asked.
