I woke up and seen Promise sound asleep in my arms and melody on the other side. When we decided to go to bed last night, she woke up and Promise had a hard time putting her back to sleep. She kept pointing to the door and saying something but I couldn't understand her cus of how hard she was crying.

I tried to get up but Promise grip got tighter around me. I slowly slid down and got up as she shifted immediately to Mel. Smiling at the sight, I couldn't help but to be happy that I was finally here with them.

I went to the bathroom and did what I had to do. I was so use to waking up around dis time in the pin. I went downstairs tryna not to wake anybody up. I grabbed sum quick from the fridge and made me some eggs and toast. I sat down at the counter and noticed I didn't have a phone. The police broke it when they arrested me.

I went to the back and started doing my daily workouts. I did 100 pushups and was about to start doing my sit ups but I heard the slide door.

"Why yo ass up so early yung? You on dat pin shit" Rico said rubbing his eyes with a Glock in his hands. I laughed and got up.

"My fault man. I ain't noticed I was making that much noise"

"Well you was. Come in bro" he tucked his gun while we walked back in the house. He tossed me a bottle and drunk it.

"Catch me up bro how the business" I asked sitting down.

"Man it's been slow Ian gonna lie. You know the roof fell in" he said shaking his head.

"Word? Damn man I told Marcus don't hire that bogus ass constructor" I said.

"Told his ass a million times but how you man?" He pointed towards my body and I looked down at the gashes I had that I stitched up myself.

"I'm straight. Some shit popped off in there but I'm good" he nodded.

"Popped off?" He questioned while I grabbed my shirt.

"You remember Mitch?"

"Yeah he was yo partner right?"

I nodded and gave him the run down about how the pin worked and the sides and shit like that.

"When that shi started happening I ain't want no parts but I had to do what I had to do. When I woke up I was back in the hole bleedin half to death but my old timer he helped me out and snuck in some aid for me"

"Damn yung. It was like world war II in there"

"Fasho"

"How you get out so early?"

"Wrongly convicted. Tiana and the judge set me up, my lawyer tryna find out why"

"I knew it was some bullshit the minute she walked in" I nodded and threw away my bottle.

"So wait none of the shi make sense. If they found Chris fingerprints on the gun and yours on the victims wallet how the fuck did you get life and Chris got off. No probation or nothin" he questioned looking at me.

I scratched the back of my head and he started shaking his head.

"Nigga are you dumb? You took the fall for all dis shit" he said furious.
