FATIMA: "What the hell are you talking bout?

JEREMIAH: "I knew you were bad news when I met you."

FATIMA: "Nigga please, you ain't come around until your brother got some money, I didn't even know yo ass existed.."

WOMAN: "Don't talk to my son like that!"

FATIMA: "Lady." she sighs. "I don't know who you are, but mind your business."

WOMAN: "Little girl-"

FATIMA: "You got one more time."

JEREMIAH: "Watch your mouth when you're talking to my ma."

FATIMA: "I don't give a FUCK about yo mama, or your broke, beggin ass."

Lori gets up seeing the altercation.
LORI: "What they hell is going on over here?"

JEREMIAH: "Lil lady, you might wanna mind your business."

LORI: "Lil lady me again and I'll show you my lil ass glock."

WOMAN: "ARE YOU THREATENING MY SON?!?!"

Zac walks into the waiting room with his arm wrapped in a sling to hold it in a specific position. Seeing his mom, brother, Fatima and Lori in an argument he walks over to them quickly trying to diffuse the situation.

ZAC: "Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is going on? What are y'all two doing here?"

FATIMA: "Zac, get yo bird ass family before I fuck them up."

WOMAN: "What do you mean why are we here? We came to check on you and take care of you because obviously the girl here can't."

FATIMA: (deep sigh of frustration) "Zac-"

ZAC: "I got it, I got it. Ma, Jeremiah, please"

WOMAN: "You're so fucking ungrateful." She says, going to shove Zac hitting his hurt arm. Zac groans in pain.

SECURITY: "Is something going on here?"

They all look at the security.

WOMAN: "No, sir-"

FATIMA: "Yes, there is."

SECURITY: "You guys need to leave, or I'm going to have you all arrested. "

WOMAN: "Come on Zac."

ZAC: "Excuse me?"

WOMAN: "You're coming with us."

ZAC: "No' I'm not."

WOMAN: "Well, the least you can do is give us some gas money."

FATIMA: "Oh please, Zac bring yo ass."
She says walking away from him with Lori.

                                    CUT TO:

Hayden and Aaron are sitting at the bar in the kitchen drinking hennessy and smoking cigars.

HAYDEN: "Who'd you hit?"

AARON: "Zac, I think, hell I don't know, I just fired."

HAYDEN: "How the hell you don't know, the plan was for you to shoot the ex con, No body, no money."

AARON: "How the hell am I supposed to kill someone who is never alone?" he says, exacerbated.

HAYDEN: "Shoot him! That's how you're supposed to kill him. Ain't you fucking his ex? Use her!"

AARON: "Watch it."

HAYDEN: " I don't give a fuck what you gotta do, shoot them all damn. Gary told me you were the best hitman to hire and right now I'm not seeing it."

ANGELA: "He doesn't know who he shot. What if he shot Fatima?!?!"

Hayden turns around surprised she is there.
HAYDEN: "Baby, Fatima is fine, go back upstairs."

AARON: "Your man just doesn't want you to know that he hired me to shoot your girl."

HAYDEN: " Get the fuck out, you're fired."

AARON: (Laughs) "I'm out. See you at Fatima's funeral." He leaves slamming the door behind him.

                                    CUT TO:

Zac, Fatima and Lori pull up to his townhouse and go inside. Fatima goes to sit on the couch taking a breath and Lori is standing by the side chari closest to the door.

LORI: "I know you're tired but, we gotta get these motherfuckers tonight."

FATIMA: (sighs) "Damn right, let's go. Zac we'll be back." getting up and grabbing her purse.

ZAC: "Fuck that, I'm coming too. You not finna treat me like a hurt puppy, I only got shot. Let's go."

They all exit the house and get back in the car, and go back to Fatima's spot.

LORI: "What's the plan?"

ZAC: "Call that nigga put him on speaker and talk to him nice."

Fatima calls Paul and he answers on the first ring.

PAUL: "Oh, so now you remember me huh?"

FATIMA: "I'm sorry, he was around and I couldn't talk. I wanna talk in person." PAUL: "I don't know."

FATIMA: "Come on, I'm sorry Paul, I need to see you and make sure you're ok."

PAUL: "If I come we talk on my terms."

FATIMA: "Name them."

PAUL: "Outside, in my car."

FATIMA: "Done. And um...if you're feeling ok, I'd love to finish what we started."

PAUL: I'm on my way."

FATIMA: "Ok, see you soon."

They arrive at Fatima's place and go inside, waiting for Paul's call. Twenty minutes pass and he finally calls. She picks it up.
PAUL: "I'm outside."
