"What the fuck are we going to do about this problem dame? We can't afford to beef with these niggas right now.." Laytone stressed to Damien over the phone and Damien sighed deeply. "I'll handle it."

Damien followed behind the two guards as they led him into the back. It was a few weeks after Bar's funeral and he had some business to take care of. Word got around that what he stole belonged to a Detective who lived in the city. Being the man Damien was he had connections all over Chicago. It was his town. He had judges on his pay roll, police officers, teachers, dentists and doctors but he didn't have everybody on his side. There was a little section of the Chicago PD that wanted to take him down, some of the corrupted officers didn't work for him. Bar just so happened to steal from one of the dudes that wanted to take him down the most. Lieutenant Leonard Green had been running the streets longer than Damien and since Damien didn't pay his respects when he first started, Green wanted to take him down.

Green was the type of officer who followed behind his own set of rules so Damien knew this wasn't going to just go away. He had to officially sell his soul to the devil.

"Welcome." Green said taking the cigar from his lips. Damien sat down in front of him and looked around the room. There was plagues and awards all around the room, probably for the so called good he done in the community. To the outside looking in Green was a god that blessed the poor. But he took from the minorities and he had drug dealers doing all his dirty work. "You wanted to talk, so talk. I'm very busy guy I have a whole police department to run so this better be worth me taking time out of my day to listen to you scum.."

Damien clenched his jaw, "One of the boys that robbed you was my son. And he's dead so his debt is my debt."

Green paused then laughed. And he laughed until he started cry.

"You must be a fool! You ain't got enough to pay me back! Yo boy took millions from me, so I owe your ass. Matter of fact you ain't really nothing to me." He stood up and walked around his desk.

"I don't know what you take me as but best believe I'm not a joke. I've let you run your little business for a little minute because I liked the challenge but you ain't really a big challenge. I got bigger shit to be dealing with so I let you slide but when my shit came up missing I knew somebody was gonna pay. So I had to kill him and I promised myself that I would kill everything that meant something to that person. So ima kill you too, but first I'ma make you wish you never born. I'ma make you wish your mama swallowed you nigger."

Damien knew working for that white man would only last so long before he was killed. Green had to the resources to kill him, get away with it and take his business. His business was the least of his worries, he knew that if Green found out Damien had another child Diamonte was as good as dead.

"You guys have to disappear." Damien explained the situation to Bibby and Diamonte once he arrived to Bibby's house that they were held up in. Diamonte and Bibby hadn't spoken to each other since she told him about the diamonds. Bibby had no idea what to say, he figured Bar stole something valuable but Diamonds never crossed his mind. He didn't know what to do with the information. Although Damien was his boss, he couldn't fully trust him. He didn't know what Damien would possibly do if he found out that Diamonte had the diamonds. And she felt the same. She only trusted Bibby enough to tell him about the diamonds, she knew if anyone else knew about it, it would put a target on her back. Without speaking they both agreed to keep it a secret and not speak a word of it to anyone.

"We have to disappear? As in me and him?" Diamonte finally spoke up and asked her dad. "I can't leave. Green would have me killed the moment I step out of Chi but he doesn't know about you. You never to leave the country and I can't have you out there by yourself. Bibby can watch over you."
