As soon as we made it inside, she met with Steve.

"You made it! You also have a new makeup artist and script."

"Great," she smiled "I also signed up to volunteer at a high school in Compton. I want to speak with the male students about gang violence, prison, death row."

"Perfect. Now I'm not gonna say it won't be a challenge. They're good kids."

I paged Jerry and told him that we're going to postpone the video shoot. Just as I was about to slide my pager back into my pocket, Lucky pages me and says he wants me to meet somebody.

I mentally responded and grabbed Tomica by her waist.

"I gotta go. See you later," I said before giving her a kiss.

Bestia Italian Restaurant
Los Angeles, CA

I arrived at a fancy Italian restaurant named "Bestia." According to the message Lucky sent me, he wants me to meet somebody. Someone important I guess.

This is just what I needed, running into Scooter's crazy ass. Whenever he's around or involved in something, shit hits the fan.

We had a fallout years ago for a reason.

"So why did you ask me to meet you here?" I asked before taking a seat.

I don't have a problem with Lucky but in all honesty, I really don't want to be here.

"Hey Eric this is someone I want you to meet. He's a very powerful and intelligent man. His name is Henry Mason. Henry, this is Eric, an old friend."

"It's nice to meet you Mr. Mason," I said with a straight face.

"No need to be so formal Eric. You're making me feel older than what I already am. You can just call me Henry."

A few seconds later, a waiter approaches our table. "What can I get for you?" he asks with a notepad in his hand.

"Give him the same thing I have," said Henry "and hurry it up will ya?"

Before he left, I stopped him in his tracks.

"Oh that's okay. I'm not hungry to be honest with ya."

"Well Eric you can't just sit there without eating anything. And I wouldn't feel right if the three of us are eating while you on the other hand isn't."

"No thanks. I'm fine, trust me."

"Well let me know if you change your mind," he said before walking away.

"Once again it's nice to meet you Henry. Now I'm not trying to sound rude or anything but I did have plans today, such as working on an album and music video. So can you tell me why-"

He interrupted. "So I heard about your run-in with Suge Knight and a couple of Bompton Bloods the other day. And I heard about the robbery you committed at California National Bank as well as the robbery you recently committed at a jewelry store."
