Looking at the turn out, Cillian was ecstatic seeing the room filled with children and their parents. He also had the room filled with buyers for the paintings.

The dream he had about giving back finally came to life. He now uses the building Reign bought in his name to sell paintings to buyers and give a few to some of the less fortunate kids. He uses the money he gets from the paintings to donate to multiple charities.

"Aye look..that lil nigga fascinated" Hood says to Cillian motioning over to a little boy that was in awe of this one painting.

Instead of replying back Cillian goes over to the boy and crouches down beside him. Looking at him he saw that he couldn't be no older than 10.

"Cool painting right?" Cillian ask the younger boy.

"Yes" He replies before turning to look at the man beside him.

When he turned around Cillian saw a bruise under his left eye.

"What happened to your eye?" He furrows his eyebrows.

"Some kids beat me up at school" The boy shrugs his shoulders letting Cillian know that this happened often.

"Why"

"Because i don't have cool shoes and my mommy can't afford it" He still stared at the art work almost in a trance.

"Where's ya mom?" Cillian ask.

The boy turned his head and darted his eyes across the room until they landed on her. He points at the carmel skinned lady that was dressed in sweats.

She also was looking around trying to find her son til she saw him staring at her along with a handsome man. She quickly walks over there grabbing her sons hand.

"What did i tell you about running off?"

"I'm sorry mommy" He says as she engulfs him in a tight hug.

"It's not okay and don't do that again you scared me" She says letting him go.

Clearing his throat, Cillian nods his head at the mom. She looked kind of skeptical because he was a stranger next to her child but she didn't want to assume.

"Hey i'm Brandon's mom" She put her hand out and he shook it.

"Im the guy who does all the paintings for this place" He says causing her eyes to wide.

"You really want that one?" He looks to Brandon again causing him to nod his head rapidly.

Taking it off the stand he hands the picture to him. While the boy held the painting he pulls out his wallet and took nine 100 dollar bills out.

"He told me about the kids at school..i want you to get him some stuff and even yourself" He tells her, handing the mom money.

"Thank you so much" She says with tears brimming her lids.

"It's cool" He looks down seeing Brandon smiling.

"And make sure you take care of that, you hear me?" The boy looks up and again nods his head fast.

"Thank you" He says waving while walking out with his mom.

Shaking his head, Cillian walks back over to Hood.

"We got that nigga address" Hood says to him quietly as soon as he made it over there.

"Alright well before we go over there ima go home" He grabs his keys out his pocket.

They had a lead on the person that hacked their computers to keep them from searching on who it possibly was that placed the bomb in the car.

Cillian told all his staff when to end the event and lock up. He left out and went to his car ready to get home.
