Ashton Kingston// Black
-------------------------------------

Gang huh? I opened my laptop and went to my secret folder, Anonymous. I tapped on it and entered the password. I looked at the pictures of the tattoo on Lola's shoulder blade, the tattoo on Rugrat's arm and the tattoo on Chanel's right hand.

"Time to think here." I looked through the folders on my desk. Nothing here.

So Lani's an assassin. She's in a gang and didn't say any more.

Wait. I went into Instagram and logged into my old account. I went to my followings and there I saw it. Tjay's old Instagram account. There were like about ten pics and three highlights.

The last time he posted was on 12 June 2019 which was five years ago. I scrolled through his highlights and then I came across an unfamiliar one. One I haven't seen before. The video was of Tjay and Ryan. They were both shirtless while flexing some cash with chains and shit. On his right man boos was the spiral tattoo. I could also see it on Ryan's right arm.

A tall looking man with dreads came into the video. He took was shirtless and in a blue basket short. He...he he looked like Lola. Like he looked exactly like her but just the male version. That should be her father. He pointed a middle finger at the camera and then turned around and walked away.

Bingo!

I paused the video and saw the spiral tattoo on his lower back. Just this time it was bigger. At the bottom it said Hidden Ravens. Sixes for life. Eastside.

Hm, interesting. I unpaused the video and then someone came into the video. The person was slightly tall. Slender, had a boy cut with a small braid at the corner of her hairline. The person looked up from their phone and I froze.

That's Lola.

Just then, my phone rang.

"Yea?"

"Trap. It's urgent." said Tai.

"Lani's part of the sixies." I said as I stood up from my chair.

"What?"

"I'll explain when I get there. Don't tell the rest yet." And then I hung up. I tuck my phone into my back pocket and unpaused the video.

"Sixies for life." She said while doing the Eastside sign with her fingers.

Lamar Kingston//Killa
-----------------------------------

"I hope you don't mind. I brought my girlfriend with." said Indigo as she gestured to her girlfriend. She was a young white woman. Black shoulder length hair, blue eyes and was slightly shorter than Indi.

"Hi, I'm Kimberley." She said as we shook hands. "Lamar."

We walked into my office and the others were already there. They all greeted them and did a lil chatting before we got to business.

"Where's Ashton?" asked Indigo.

"I myself don't know. Aye, Tai did you text him?"  I asked him. "Yea. Maybe he's just running late." He shrug. I nodded my head.

"Well you said you found something out." I said as I pulled out some files.

"Oh not me. She does." He pointed at Kimberly. "Blud..." She side eyed Indigo.

"Okay anyways, the sixies each have a spiral tattoo, yea, with the word hidden at the bottom. Dippa is just a replacement for his father because he's retired. Same goes for-"

Just then Black walked in with a backpack flung over his shoulder and his laptop in his left hand. "Sup." He greeted. He looked at Kimberly and squirted his eyes. Nigga seriously ain't wearing his contacts. "Ain't tryna be rude but who's she?"

"I'm Kimberley." She said. He tilted his head to the side showing he still didn't know who she is. "I'm her girlfriend."

"Ohhhhhh. Okay. Nice to meet you." He smiled as he sat on top of my desk. Nigga straight up don't have manners but anyways. "Did I miss something?" He asked.

"Not really. Just the sixies each have the same spiral tattoo. Just the retired leader, Dippa and the some how missing girl's father, has a more detailed one." She said opening her laptop.

"Yea I know." He plopped a sweet in his mouth as he opened his laptop. "How?" I asked him. "I know where one of them are." Tai and Black said at the same time.

"Whoa whoa what?" I asked confused.

"I'll explain in a minute." He turned his laptop around and played a video from someone's highlights. It was one of Tjay and Ryan. I saw the tattoos. A tall strong built man came into the picture.

"Am I tripping or does nigga look like the female version on Lani?" I asked. "You not wrong." Said Black.

The man turned around and there I saw it. A detailed spiral tattoo. "Hidden Ravens. Sixies for life. Eastside." I mumbled.

"That's him!" Indigo pointed. "He the one we saw a while back training with my dad, innit?" She said looking at Kim.

"Yea and there was this other dude too. He had a spiral tattoo on his left man boob." She said looking at us.

"Malik?" Asked Omar. "Yeaaaaa him."

"Malik as in Malik De'shawn Martin?" I asked. There's only Malik I know that's in a gang and he's in prison for drug trafficking. "Yes him!" said Kim.

Black unpaused the video and exactly when the retired gang leader turned around, someone came into the video. The person was slightly tall. Slender, had a boy cut with a small braid at the corner of her hairline. The person looked up from their phone and... "What?!" I said stunned. That's Lola.

"Oh my gosh. It's her..." mumbled Kim.

"Who, your ex?" Asked Indigo. Kim side eyed her as Black tried to hold in this laughter.

"Is you for reals blud?"

"Babe ain't it a simple question innit?" said Indi as she tried to defend herself. "She's not my ex." She rolled her eyes.

"Aye uh what you mean by it's her?" Asked Omar. "That's Lola Armani Prince."

"Armani?" I tilted my head. "Ain't it Ka'Lani Brinks?" I know Brinks ain't her biological surname but still...

"She told me it's Armani Prince."

"How you know?" Asked Omar. "I saw her at Saint Peter's Orphanage in the Bronx like a longgggg time ago and she told me that's her name." She shrug.

"Well we know her as Ka'Lani Brinks because she's Taylor's Girlfriend". Said Black as he pointed at an unbothered Taylor who's back was leaned against the wall while he was scrolling through his phone.  "Did you know?" She asked him.

"Nah, but we'll find out now." He said as he played us a voice note from Lola.
