DANIELA CRUZ laid asleep in bed, as she felt Tariq slide out of bed, from beside her. She heard shuffling noises, while Tariq grabbed clothes out his drawers. She sat up in the bed, turning around and looking back at Tariq.

"Tariq, where are you sneaking off to?" Daniela asked, causing him to look at her.

"I'm going to meet up with Davis at his office. Gotta handle this Effie shit and some other shit. I'll catch you later, though." Tariq spoke, walking over to the bed and pecking her cheek.

Tariq grabbed his jacket off the couch arm rest, before rushing over to the door.

"Wait, Tariq. I know you got a lot of shit going on, but the gender appointment is this week. Do you still wanna try and come?" Daniela inquired, as he opened the door.

Tariq turned around and flashed a smile at her.

"Yeah, of course. I'll be there. I promise you that." Tariq assured.

"Okay, well, be safe. I love you." Daniela said, causing him to dirk.

"I love you too, Dani. I'll text you." Tariq told her, before walking out the dorm.

Tariq St. Patrick walked into Davis's office building, before going into Saxe's office. He opened up all of his drawers, before going through all of the files and papers. He was looking for a paper that had his mom, Tasha's location.

Tariq opened up a drawer and pulled out a folder, before pulling out one of the papers. He furrowed his eyebrows as he read the paper.

"Why the fuck would Saxe have this?" Tariq asked, whispering to himself.

Tariq heard footsteps coming from behind him, causing him to turn around. She saw Cane walking into the building, surprisingly. Tariq slid the paper into the folder, before walking out of Saxe's office and walking up to Cane.

"What the fuck you doing here?" Tariq asked. "Your ex bitch, Lauren. That bitch still alive." Cane said. "Hell, no, nigga, that can't be." Tariq lied. "I just saw her snitch ass mean mugging Effie, while they put cuffs on her. You set her up." Cane voiced.

"Nigga, why the fuck would I set up Effie, knowing that shit'll come back on me, Cane?" Tariq inquired.

"Because you like acting like you fucking T'Challa. But you'll always be the punk, who let pussy get in the way of what needed to be done." Cane said.
