"Yeah... I'm gonna be around now more than ever.."

Lawrence rushed in. "We have a space we need to go now!.."

Indy's heart beat fast and hard in her chest as she gather some comfort bits for her son and his clothes. As she did all of that, she prayed to the Lord that he would save her son, an innocent child mixed up in a grown man's messy game.

"I think someone is here lookin for you man.." Omar said to Jay as they drank happily in the club.
Jay looked across and saw Tia, it took her less than a few seconds to spot him and begin to make her way towards where he was.

He smirked as she walked over. "What can I do for you?." He said sprawling back in the softness of the sofa.
