Homecoming

"What's up, Shawn?" Tyrone said as he played cards with some of his crew members.

"Nothin'. chillin'." Shawn said

"Nice to know you chillin' while we out here cleaning up your mess," Tyrone said

"Ty, that's you, not Alvin," Shawn said

"Ain't nobody asks you to speak. There's a lot of heat on us right now 'cause of that mess you made at Alvin's. My show's gotta lay low. So now you gonna take over and sell our dope on his block." Tyrone said

"No problem," Shawn said

"Good. Swizz is bringing in more products. You pick it up tonight." Tyrone said

"Tonight?" Shawn asked

"You hard of hearing or something?" Tyrone asked

"Hey, I could go meet Swizz if you want," Coop said

"Ain't nobody ask you nothing, sis. It is sis, right? Or is it brother? Which one is it?" said making his crew laugh and himself." Tyrone said

—-After Talking To Tyrone—-

"Supposed to be getting out, not deeper in," Coop told Shawn after they walked away.

"If Tyrone tells you to do something, you do it, period," Shawn said

"Shawn," Coop said trying to get him to think about it.

"I can make the interview downtown and get back in time to meet Swizz," Shawn said as Spencer started calling Coop.

"Just answer the fool. You know you want to. Got this handled." Shawn said walking off to his car as Coop answered the phone.

"Hello," Coop said

—-At The James Family House—-

"I'm glad you called," Coop said

"You good?" Spencer said

"Me? I'm OK, I guess." Coop said

"Where you been staying?" Spencer asked

"He who shall not be named is letting me crash at his crib," Coop said making Spencer look away from her.

"I mean, I figured if I said the name "Shawn," your head would explode. Come on, man. This is stupid. I'm not mad at you for wanting to keep your family safe." Coop said

"Come on, Coop. You family. All right? Don't ever think you not." Spencer said

"I know. So can we park all that over there somewhere and talk about what's got this vein on the side of your big-ass head about to pop out?" Coop asked

"I mean yeah but you know you gotta talk to Maddie yourself," Spencer said

"She here?" Coop asked

"No, she went over to Kia's house to get her hair done," Spencer said

"Well, then I'll talk to her later then," Coop said
