"Michael Williams and Dick Peabody were in their offices when Mika Ree, the receptionist, went to check on them and found them dead in their seats. They suffered bullet wounds to their chest and heads causing them to die upon impact. An investigation is underway, this is Laura reporting live on 6 news, back to you with the weather Bob" the TV reported before I turned it off.

"Ny," Chance simply stated. "They deserved it,"

"No one deserves to die Chancelor," I sobbed. "Did you do it?" I asked looking him dead in his eyes.

"No," he stated.

"Were you involved in any way?" I asked.

"I told a few people what happened to you, that's about it." He shrugged like this wasn't a problem.

"Why the fuck would you do that? What if it all comes back to you huh? You just gon go to prison and leave me here by myself?" I cried.

"No, I'm not going to prison. Me reporting that to them doesn't mean I was involved. Come on Ny, it's public record now. A lot of people probably know. Them niggas could've had a lot of enemies, I'm not sure if my niggas did that or not. I'll ask around," he said as he grabbed his cell phone heading back into the bathroom.

If Chance was involved with this murder, I don't know what I'd do.

I laid my head on my pillow and cuddled with Scout before I fell asleep.

I woke up with my head on Chance's chest as the events of last night replayed in my head.

I honestly don't want Chance involved with my problems. I let it go and he should've too.

I glanced over at the clock reading it: 10:27am.

"Babe," I mumbled as I shook him lightly. "Get up"

He simply turned over and ignored me.

"It's 11, your interview is in 15 mins nigga" I lied to make him quickly jump up.

"Shit," he said as he started throwing random clothes on.

"Chill, I was just playing." I told him as he approached me. "It's in less than an hour though,"

"Why you always fucking playing bruh?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around me.

"I knew you'd get up then," I explained. "But I gotta get ready for work," I told him as I ran off to the bathroom turning the shower water on.

I just needed to get there before him so he'd be forced to use the other bathroom.

"It'll be breakfast on the counter waitin for you," he said as I hopped in letting the water run on my skin.

After I got dressed, I headed downstairs to the kitchen seeing some fruit and an omelet on the counter. There was a note under the plate:

Hope your nappy headed ass enjoy this breakfast, have a great day at work. Love you -Chance

I thought that it was the cutest thing. Seeing his handwriting was just cute as fuck.

I enjoyed breakfast before my driver beeped the horn signaling that he was outside ready to take me to work.

"Scout!" I yelled as he ran up to me. "Mommy's leaving you," I cooed as I rubbed his head.

He then ran off to his little play area causing me to smile to myself at the sight. Seems as if he's happy so I'm happy. I grabbed my purse and headed outside.
