Kandi patiently tapped her perfectly manicured nails on the wooden table as she waited. She wasn't the person you wanted to keep waiting, especially when she had better ways to spend her time. The meeting she had set up with Royal was simply on behalf of her friend Heaven.

Royal had a long going game of overlapping his women so when Kandi found that Heaven was intertwined in his game she thought she'd play at his angle.

Royal had no feelings attached to the situation so when he was approached about it he decided to just go to lunch with the girl. How he figured she just wanted to see what the sex was like. Girls wasn't never friends just hoes that hung together in packs.

He strolled in 20 minutes late not in the slightest remorseful. He had a long night of cleaning up routes and rearranging drops and pick ups that had been messed up with the new found competition.

"You that girl that be with Beans." He smirked a little bit as he sat down.

Kandi instantly felt uncomfortable. Her relations to Beans was getting out of hand and she had to put a pin in it quickly. It was bad enough he made her feel replaceable when she was so much more than he perceived her to be. It was much worse when outsiders knew her business.

"Royal we came to discuss you and Heaven. Not my personal matters." Kandi smiled fakely.

Kandi was a real live hot head. For surely the ride or die kinda chick, but if she popped off right now.... Beans would say she started it.

"There is no Me and Heaven. Never was. I like fucking and she was the closest that was with it. For all I care the bitch could fall in a ditch."

Kandi frowned. She hated when she or any of her girls were getting played out. He would get his but not at the moment. It was too many white people in the restaurant she chose and a few of them worked in Lucky's building.

"Well... this was informative."

Kandi stood up not even bothering to finish her lemonade and left a $20 bill on the table to pay for it.

"Yeah. Tell your brother I said wassup pi. Rebel said wassup too." Royal smirked a little bit.

Kandi nodded a little bit and called her brother a little confused.

"Stevens and Stein's Insurance this is Sarah how may I direct your call?"

Slightly annoyed by the chipper tone of the receptionist Kandi sighed.

"Saadiq Griffin please."

"Okay. Please hold."

The call was forwarded and Lucky answered the phone.

"Kandi this better be good."

"How did you even know it was me?"

Lucky was in no mood to deal with his sister's shenanigans. He had his own things he was working out. He was working on a new money laundering project and needed assistance. Kandi was the problem and the solution to that. Her friends always had the skills necessary to push his ideas, but they always wanted something.

"Kandi now is not the time to be bullshitting." Lucky said with gritted teeth in a low tone.

"Okay. Okay. Well I sat down today with some guy named Royal. He said he knows you."

"Okay what else did he say."

"Rebel says wassup too."

Lucky shook his head. It should have clicked in his head who Royal was earlier. He knew the Evans brothers very well. They went back almost 15 years. He had an understanding with those guys that pimping was just pimping and money was just money. He also made it clear that those niggas could never know his name.

"Okay so did you get my information yet?"

"There's nothing for me to get Lucky. Nobody knows anything and Mercy's lips are sealed shut."

"Then you infiltrate the circle. That girl might be valuable to us."

Kandi shook her head. She knew her brother was up to something because Lucky saw no value in people that weren't on his level. He had proven this countless times in the women he courted. Many times leaving them where they stood no matter how much he liked them before.

"Okay. It'll get done."

She shook her head as she shot a text over to the one person who could give her the answer.
