I was out in the yard with some of my boys from back in the day when a guard approached me saying I have a visitor. Now I know it can't be family so I'm a little skeptical about this person. "Well well well, If it isn't the famous Lucious Lyon" I heard a familiar voice that belonged to no other than a woman but the voice didn't belong to Cookie. I looked up and surely enough the voice belonged to a woman.

"You know I was in lock up with your girl... And Let's just say we've grown attached" Lauren snickered. It didn't come to as a surprise because I knew Cookie had bitches and I knew back in the day Cookie and Lauren were friends. So when they both got locked up there was a strong possibility of them two being together. "Lauren why are you here" I questioned dryly "You know.. you could at least be glad to see me" I gave her a look to cut to the chase "Lucious, I know you want revenge but you have bigger problems to take care of. Vernon has taken over Empire and there nothing that anyone can do, I would say Cookie but she's preoccupied at the moment. Your son's have managed the best they can but it's utterly impossible to run the business without the entire family with it being family owned." she informed "But... Cookie is one of my best friends still to this day and I know how much Empire means to the Lyon family so I decided to reduce your sentence... With the help of Tariq of course because after all, I am the judge." with those words the shackles connecting with my ankles were released and I was escorted out as Lauren stood watching me. "Oh and behave yourself Lucious" she spoke one last time before the buzzer of the prison gate interrupted me from responding. Tariq helped me but why? I was free and I'm about to make some things right.
Cookie POV
My big headed children have been blowing my phone up all day. I smacked my teeth as my golden heels hit the smooth pavement of Empire floors, introducing a loud click with every step I made as I entered the studio. "MOM! YOU WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" Jamal immediately said acknowledging my presences. "I've been busy" I avoided the real reason. "Busy! You've been out like happy go lucky while we're here fighting for the empire..." Jamal ranted "Jamal it's fine baby-" he cut me off "It's not fine. My father absence is not fine! 17 years you sacrificed for this company, for what so it can rot in another man's hands!" Jamal rhetorically stated causing me to rolled my eyes "What do you want me to say, Mal. I've been busy" I retaliated "Mom I know you better than anyone else so I know you haven't been 'Busy' as you so elegantly stated" He was right but I just wasn't ready to tell him the news. "I have business to attend to so if you don't mind" he spat forward dismissing my presence. I have never in my life seen him like this. I turned to leave but gave him one last look but he was too busy with what he had on his desk to even look up. Like father like son.
