TREVANTE POV
"Tilt to the side for me" Janet said as she was lining me up at her salon.
I tilted to the side and said "You hooking yo man up"
"And for free too" She said, making us both laugh.
"Thanks for squeezing me in babe, I know you got a lot of clients" I said.
"You're fine. What you got going on after this?" She asked.
"I have to head to set today to finish the mid part of the movie, then I'll be home to you and Ivory." I said.
"Well good, come right home" She said giggling as she took the cover thing off of me as she finished my hair.
"I sure will" I said. "And-" I started off before I looked through the mirror and seen that same fed. He was getting his hair cut by one of Janet's employees.
My eyes widened as I just stared at him and he smirked.
"Babe? I didn't nick you did I?" She asked me.
"Oh- Uh, no, not at all. I just wanna show you something, come here" I said trying to pull her to her office.
"I can't leave, my next client's here" She said rubbing her belly.
"Just real quick" I said and she nodded her head as we got to her office and I kept my eyes on that fed.
"Tell me what you think of these headshots for my auditions" I said showing her the pictures on my phone.
"Oh they're nice. You look amazing baby" She said scrolling through. I seen the fed leaving out of her salon, thank goodness and I said "Thank you babe. Your next client's here so I'm gonna go but I'll see you later tonight aight?"
"Okay, be safe" Janet said giving me a kiss and I quickly left out.
I looked around outside, and seen the fed walk towards the alley.
I crossed the street, basically ran across the street trying to get to him.
Once I got across the street, I turned the corner where I saw him go and I could not find this nigga anywhere.
"The fuck man" I mumbled.
Soon as I turned around, he was right there and grabbed me before hemming me up against the brick wall.
I pushed him off of me and he said "Trevante Rhodes." As he chuckled. "You following me?" He asked me.
"The fuck was that in there?" I said to him.
"I got my head shaved, what do you think it was?" He said to me.
"I thought I told you to stay the fuck away from my girl." I said.
"Is that the thanks I get for not getting you arrested or for not shutting down your girlfriend's salon?" He asked me.
"I'm out the loop man, I ain't been in no trouble." I said.
"Name Chris Dacarto mean anything to you?" He asked and I sighed saying "No."
"During the scheme Mikayla Waters was doing, they made a multiplex project into a money laundering scheme." He said.
"If that's the case why you ain't arrest Chris Dacarto?" I asked.
"I ask the questions Trevante." He said. "Starting between the meeting tonight." He added.
"I don't know about no meeting." I said.
"Well he's supposed to meet with Mikayla tonight, visiting her in prison." He said.
"Like I said, I don't know about no meeting." I lied.
"Well you find out. You find out when it's happening, you find out where, and you find out who the players are-"
"Nah nah, man you can't keep coming back fuckin wit me, talking bout finding this and looking for that." I said to him.
"Okay so what if I ruin this lil movie you trying to do? And your girlfriend's salon, I can get it investigated for improprieties." He said to me and I kicked the wall with the back of my foot in frustration.
"FUCKA! I'M TIRED OF YOU MAN!" I yelled. He chuckled and said "I bet you are. But you already making mistakes, like when you joined in on that money scheme with Mikayla. You think I don't know? That's why you're in this shape you're in today. You get back to me about the meeting, that'll be real nice."
Then he got in his car and I watched him drive off.
I took a deep breath before rubbing my face as I ran quickly to my car.

"Hey Trevante, how you doing?" Mikayla asked sitting across from me.
"I'm coo. How you holding up in here?" I asked.
"Shit I'm hanging I guess. I got 3 more months and I'll be out" She said. "You confirmed the meeting with Dacarto?" She asked me.
"Yeah but uh.. Mikayla I got a bad feeling. I mean you're barely up and running, and you don't wanna get locked in here any longer. I think you should post pone till you get yo records straight" I said trying to give her a warning without saying what's going on.
"Dacarto wants us to stay on track with this scheme Trevante and that's what we said we were gonna do. You didn't tell Janet did you?" She asked me.
"Of course not" I said and she nodded her head. "Taking more time is only going to solidify a position" I added.
"The meeting is on for this evening, 9 pm sharp. I'll call you and give you details tomorrow. Actually just come back tomorrow and I'll tell you the details in person" She said.
I sighed before saying "Aight. But this better work."
"It will as long as we all play our cards right" She said.
"We gone get the money one way or another." I said.
"That's right. I just hope when it's all said and done Janet won't be too pissed at me" She said.
"Don't worry I'll take care of that" I said.
I'm not necessarily involved in this scheme anymore, I'm just helping Mikayla stay afloat and if they get the cash then they give me half for helping so. That's what's going on here.
"Alright I'll see you later" Mikayla said as she stood up and they handcuffed her, before taking her back to her cell.
