Mario POV

"I just want to get this over with. I have a meeting in two hours and a lunch date so let's make this quick." I said to Kordell before walking into the room first before him.

I pulled up a chair in front of Momique as she looked at me with a hard state. She was looking at me like if she could she would kill me. I had to chuckle at that a little bit.

"Why are you here with him? You working with him now? You're turning your back on me?" She said starting to go off at the mouth.

"Shut the fuck up! Damn bitch." I said silencing her rant. "Your voice makes me want to send one right through your head. I would but I need to get some information out of you." I said.

"I'm not telling you shit." She said. I looked at her brother and laughed.

"You don't really have a choice. Here's the deal, you tell him what you know and you can live. If you don't tell him, I can't help you." Her brother said then shrugged.

"Wow Kordell really? You selling out?" She teased. This is just childish and a waste of my time right now.

"Ain't nobody selling out. I'm out here trying to save your life because you wanted to be stupid. I made a deal and if you ain't gonna cooperate then that's all on you. You're to grown to still have me saving your life all the time." He snapped. I held up my hand, telling him it's enough.

Me and Monique had a stare down before she rolled her eyes, breaking it. She sucked her teeth before crossing her legs.

"How do I know you still won't kill me after I tell you?" She asked.

"Well for one, I'm a man of my word and never go against a deal. Second, my girl, you know the one you had put in the hospital, well she has a big heart and told me not to kill you. You're lucky I'm not about to cause problem in my relationship over this bullshit. Now what I need to know is who you hired and where I can find this person." I said. She still looked at me without saying anything. "Or you can die." I said shrugging.

"Fine, damn." She mumbled. "I hired some Hispanic nigga named Dj since my brothers wouldn't do the job for me. And honestly, I don't know where to find him." She said then shrugged.

"Stop lying cause you went to him for the job so you know where he be at." I said.

"Whatever. I told you what I know so you can let me go now." She said. The attitude in her voice pissed me the fuck up and caused me to reach behind me and grab a gun of the table behind me.

I took the safety off and cocked the gun. I aimed at her left leg and shot her right in the knee, earning a blood curling scream to escape her mouth.

"Now I can continue to shoot you until you eventfully bleed out to death. Or you can tell me what I want to hear and you may be able to make it to the hospital in time." I said calmly.

"Shit!" She yelled as tear streamed down her face. "H-h-his warehouse is downtown on 34th street by the community center." She managed to get out.

I nodded and put the safety back on. I threw the gun on the table before standing up.

"You can take your sister now but I swear to God she better be out of the Unites States in the next 48 hours or else that's your life, her life, and your brothers life." I threatened Kordell. I saw fear flash before his eyes before he nodded his head quickly.

"You're late." Jasmine said once I approached the table. I walked to the other side of the table and tried to kiss her lips but she rejected me and made me kiss her cheek.
