"How long will you be renting the car sir?"

"Just for two days." I replied. I had just landed in ATL ten minutes ago and was picking up my rental car.

"Alright. Cash or credit sir?"

"Credit."

I took my card out and handed it to the man at the reception desk. He took the card and nodded. Then swiped it and handed me my receipt, along with my drivers license.

"Here you go. I will be right back to pull the car up to the front sir." the man smiled. I nodded.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

I watched the man walk out from behind the counter and grab a set of keys. As he walked outside, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and turned it back on. I knew I would have plenty of missed calls and texts from Ki. But she would have to understand that I'm handling some business right now. I don't want her in anyway, shape or form involved.

After my phone loaded and all that, all my notifications started to pop up.

→5 Missed Calls

→3 Text Messages

All the missed calls were from Ki.

I shook my head and sighed. I know she's pissed as hell right now. I clicked on the missed text messages and started to read them.

From Rome

Aight man just swing thru

9:01 a.m.

From Wifey

I don't know why your not answering your damn phone. But it BETTER BE A GOOD FUCKIN REASON! I'm sitting here worrying my damn ass off. CALL ME BACK NOW!

9:03 a.m.

From Wifey

I swear to god Dre your treading on thin ice right now.

9:30 a.m.

Looking up from my phone, I rubbed a hand over my face. I knew I should have left a note or some shit. But I ain't want Ki comin after me. If she knew I was back up here in ATL, she would be on a plane right now after me.

I'm just ready for all this bullshit to be over. That's why I came back here. I'm tired of waiting for things to be resolved by a man that can hardly do his job.

"The car is out front. Have a nice day sir."

I smiled and nodded. "Thank you. You too."

I walked through the front glass doors and down the pathway to the edge of the parking lot. The car I was renting was still running. I reached the driver door and got in. Making my way out of the parking lot, I hit the highway towards Rome's crib.

*Twenty Minutes Later*

      [2:15 p.m]

I pulled into Rome's driveway and quickly made my way up to his front door. It had just started pouring outside. I rung the doorbell twice and waited for him to come to the door. I heard the locks being unlocked and moved side to side still waiting. Even though it's warm in Miami, it's cold up here.
