"Four thousand dollars?!" The crew simultaneously repeated back to the officer in shock. They were now down at the police station trying to bail Blaze out of jail.

"Where the hell are we supposed to find four thousand dollars for this nigga's bail?" Chris angrily sucked his teeth and plopped down on one of the seats.

Everyone stood there silently before they hesitantly looked over at Jaylen, who was leaned up against the wall with his hands in his pockets.

"Why y'all lookin' at me like that?"

"Nigga, you the only person here with the most money." Nicholas responded loud as fuck in a 'duh' tone, causing the officer to look up from her paperwork and eye Jaylen suspiciously.

Jaylen glanced at her and chuckled awkwardly before moving towards Nicholas. "Can you shut the fuck up?!" He whisper shouted, shoving Nicholas into the wall.

Jaylen sighed and looked back at everyone. "I gotta go back to the crib to get that."

"Alright, I'll stay here and wait." Kiara stated.

"We'll stay with you." Natasha and Jamie sat down with her.

Sasha decided to head home, wishing them good luck with everything while the rest made their way back to the house. They rushed inside once they arrived and sped upstairs to change out of their club clothes, failing to notice Silk watching a movie in the living room. He sat there confused as to why they were running around like dogs.

He got up from the couch, making his way upstairs and into his bedroom. "What's going on?" He asked Jaylen, who now had his party clothes replaced with a plain white t-shirt and grey sweatpants.

"Ezra's stupid ass got into a fight with Nelly." Jaylen explained, shaking his head as he began going through one of his suitcases.

Silk's eyes widened. "Nelly? As in the rapper Nelly?"

Jaylen smacked his lips and looked up at him. "Obviously, nigga. Who else would I be talking about?" Jaylen retorted and directed his eyes back to his suitcase. "Anyways, Ezra got arrested for assaulting him or whateva', and his bail is 4K."

"4 G's?!" Silk couldn't believe what he was hearing, but Blaze was his boy so he decided to help out with the payment.

Jaylen pulled out some money from the bottom of his suitcase, while Silk went into the closet and retrieved a duffel bag that held some of his clothes and money inside. The two decided to split the payment, putting up two thousand dollars each.

"Yo we're leaving!" Silk shouted so the others were aware of their departure as he sped down the stairs.

Nicholas was too drunk to go back with them, instantly falling asleep as soon as he reached his and Chris' room. Chris and Shawnna didn't fall too far behind either, falling asleep shortly after Nicholas did.

Aryah finished up in the bathroom, bumping into Jaylen as she walked out into the hallway. "Sorry." She mumbled with a slight attitude and attempted to maneuver around him.
