the things you do

The next day, Roman and Wyn came up with a plan to get rid of Calib and get Roni. Slug went to the hospital to check Torei, who was finally awake and well, out.

Dayton and Reiya were laying on the couch together eating a cup of noodles while Maison and Chase were in Slug's garage, sitting on one of his whips just talking. Sin was sitting on Slug's hospital bed reading a magazine with Taylor standing off a few feet to the left, eating noodles too.

"We gotta get that bitch and use her to get Calib to us then we can bust his ass." Wyn said on the phone to Kayo, who had been watching out all night.

Roman snatched his phone. "Look, I think we need to play it cool. Don't get unnecessary people involved. We wait it out, lay low, let them come to us and then take care of it." He said.

Wyn stood up, pushing Roman before taking his phone back. "Fuck that nigga. We need to do it my way." Wyn said to Kayo.

"I'm telling you, nigga. We already waited this long and here that nigga come out the blue. He's looking for you and Taylor. Make him think your guard is down and he will come to you. Stop being stupid." Roman argued, smacking his lips.

Taylor walked up with her cup of noodles as she dropped hotsauce inside. "Roman. Wyn. Did y'all figure it out?"

Roman rolled his eyes as he tilted his head back. "I can't work with this nigga, yo."

She looked at Wyn. "I can't work with him."

Taylor sighed loudly. "I will pour these hot ass noodles over both of ya-"

Someone took the noodles out Taylor's hands. "Not in my spot, shorty." She heard before turning around to look up at Slug. She rolled her eyes before laughing and looking behind him to Torei.

Taylor ran up to hug her. "Are you okay?"

Torei frowned. "Some girl and guy came up there asking about you. Are you okay?" She asked. Taylor closed her eyes and huffed. "Where my babies at? Are they okay?"

"Yeah.. Wyn and Roman are trying to figure everything out." Taylor announced before letting her go. "And they're somewhere around here."

Torei looked around.

"Who is Wyn and Roman?" She asked. Taylor moved to the side to reveal the three men behind her.

"That's Wyn." She said pointing to the dark one with a fresh cut, "And that's Roman." She pointed to the mean looking one with tattoos. "This is my sister Torei."

"And who is he?" Torei asked, pointing to the white dude.

"That's Slug."

"Slug?" Torei started to laugh before waving. "Nice to meet everyone."

"Nice to meet you too." Wyn responded. Roman gave a nod and Slug was giving her a face.

"What you gotta say about my name, Torei?" He asked, staring at her as he licked his lips.

Torei smiled, noticing the gesture. "Nothing, Slug." She replied, her long legs turning until she was facing Sin. She walked away in the direction of her.

Taylor looked between the two before looking at Roman. "What are we going to do?"

Calib pulled a few stacks out of his pockets and put it on the table in front of the dude he was talking to. "Tell me everything you know." He said.

Beside Calib was Roni. She was eating a burger and fries from the restaurant they had visited before they arrived here. Roni loved food and that was the truth but she ate more when she was nervous or felt guilty about something. Instead of taking the food from her, Calib let her do as she pleased. If she gained weight then it would just be that way because Calib was only using her to get information on a girl that he knew Wyn was fucking, thanks to Roni and her texting him.

If she hadn't had texted him telling him that Wyn was at her spot, he would've never went to that house and did what he did. He didn't regret it though and damn sure wished he could revisit.

It did nothing but piss him off that Wyn wasn't there like she said he was suppose to be.

Roni promised to help find him. If she hadn't, he would've killed her.

"I haven't heard from that nigga Wyn in... I don't know how long, my nigga." The dude said shaking his head.

Calib shook his head. "Well, when you see that nigga in hell tell him I said wassup." He said before signaling for one of his people to shoot him.

Syd sent a shot right in the back of his head before stepping back and looking at a shocked Calib. His guys held guns up to her head.

"I come as a friend with a mutual enemy. I heard you're looking for Wyn. I want to help." She said.

Calib shook his head. "How do I know I can trust you?" He asked.

Syd smiled as a red dot appeared on his head. "I got eyes everywhere number one. I'm a cop, number two. If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead."

Roni stood up to say something but didn't.

"Sit down, lets talk. I want to see Wyn go down just as much as you." Syd said.

Calib nodded. "Fine."
