True slipped on her shades and jacket as she stood in the mirror.

She was dancing around and working her hips as the sound vibrated through the walls.

She was really working it until Toby barged in.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Toby laughed. "What are you listening to?"

"Childish Gambino."

"What is this song called? I haven't heard this one."

" Zealots of Stockholm. How do I look?"

"Like you're trying to get some dick."

"Shut the fuck up Tookie."

"Is that why we're all of a sudden going to this club?"

"Shit, maybe."

"I never thought I'd see the day that you'd come to the straight side."

True put her hands on her hips.

"Shut up are you motherfuckers ready to go?"

"They're all out in the hallway ready to raise hell."

"Good. Now listen, I have an idea about tonight. I met someone, looks like he could fit in with our crowd you get me?"

"Yeah, I get you. So Ramone wanted me to tell you he has everything taken care of in the Chi and he says if he sees Tony he'll slit his throat."

"Nice. So now that business is taken care of, let's get fucked up, is you with me?"

Toby hi-fived True and nodded.

"I'm with the shits, sis."

"Oh shit, fuck it up sis." Marcus shouted at True as she danced on the table.

True and the boys were at the rooftop party and things were beginning to get wild, but there was no sign of Abel yet.

However True wasn't worried about Abel tonight, she was thinking of the man who had assisted her with her bags. Manny.

True liked his attitude and she believed that she could mold him into one of her's.

Ever since Tony was dismissed, she'd been focused on how to increase her numbers.

The boys were smart, they were resilient, but in the world of gangs numbers mattered.

When True ran into Manny this morning, it had been all she could think out.

She wanted to continue to be the mastermind that she had always been, but she couldn't lead her boys if there was something wrong with the lineup.

True was drinking and dancing with the boys when, all of a sudden, a blaring voice was heard over the microphone.

Abel was here.
