Kellie walks into Empire in all white with a black trench coat over her shoulders, freshly showered and hair done after spending seventeen years locked up in a rotten, smelly cell in that ugly jumpsuit. Looking up she sees multiple glass windows before spotting Luscious standing up and talking, stalking over to the glass doors she goes to yank it open when a big, security guard in all black grabs her arm.

"Get your big ass hand off of me you fake ass rent a cop" she says slapping at his arm.

"Ma'am. You are not allowed in here" he says.

"Not allowed? Luscious! Luscious! Don't make me use your full name. Luscious I know you hear me" Kellie exclaims as the security guard goes to pick her up and escort her out of the room.

"Hey. Hey put her down" she hears and turns her head to see Luscious and Cookie standing in the doorway behind her.

"Hello brother" she says crossing her arms looking at him.

    Kellie, Cookie and Luscious are sitting in Luscious's office; well Cookie and Luscious are while she is just sitting on his couch with her legs crossed and a handful of peanuts in her hands.

"When did you get out? I would have had a driver come get you" Luscious says.

"Don't act like you care Luscious. I did nineteen years for your ungrateful ass to make sure you followed your dreams and you forgot about me two years in. I wants what's mine" Kellie says.

"You did nineteen years because you got two years added on because of fighting. That's not my fault and lower your damn voice" Luscious growls.

"What's yours" Cookie asks?

"Yes Cookie. What's mine unless you want me to tell everyone how this company was built on drug money, lies and murders" Kellie threatens popping some peanuts in her mouth.

"You're not dumb enough to do that" Luscious says leaning back in his chair.

"Oh I'm not" she says and nods getting off the chair, she slowly stalks over to Luscious and leans down closely so he can hear her.

"Listen Dwight. You may have Cookie fooled and all of these executives and what not. But I am not that same sixteen year old I was years ago, I'm not scared of you and don't listen to your every whim. I know deeper secrets that will destroy you permanently, mentally and physically. Remember it was me who took that hit for you dumbass. Love you big bro" she says and presses a hard kiss against his head before standing up and smiling devilishly at Cookie.

"Goodbye Cookie and next time I come in here
I expect my office key" she says before slowly walking over leaving a trail of peanuts in her wake.

"What did she say to you Luscious" Cookie asks?

"She wants to play. Let's play" he says looking at the door where his sister left out of of.

Kellie gets to her apartment door with a bag of takeout in her hands when she sees that her door is cracked a little, looking around the empty hallway she slowly presses the bottom of the door with her heel and pushes it open. She steps into the dark apartment and places her food on the stand by the door, she sees her balcony door flying open. She knows she locked and closed the apartment door and balcony door when she left this morning.

Turning around she makes her way over to her picture hanging up on the wall and lifts it off the wall, her eyes widen when she sees that her safe door is open.

"Oh are you looking for this" she hears a male voice says before hearing a gun clock behind her.

"I don't know who you are or what you want" she hears before she hears footsteps before the temple of the gun is pressed at the back of her head.

"You know exactly who I am, Lauren" the baritone voice says and she freezes at the use of her middle name and slowly turns around to see a man she hasn't seen in nearly twenty years. His hood pulled over his head but the gun still pointed at her head.

"How did you find me" she asks?

"It wasn't hard. I know you so well, I knew where you would go after seventeen years. Let's have a talk. C'mon so down" he says and motions her to move into her living room, Kellie puts her hands up slowly as she circles around him to sit down on the couch.

       He keeps his eyes and gun on her as he walks backwards to the balcony doors and closes them, clicking the lock before closing the blinds and cutting on the lamp light to lightly dim the apartment. He sits across from her on the chair and places the gun on his lap making sure it's out of her reach.

"What do you want, Matthew" she asks?

"You know exactly what I want. And now that I found you, I'm not letting you leave me again without a fight. Enjoy your dinner baby and I'll see you soon" he says standing up and walking over to her, he drags the gun over her shoulder making her tense up and gain goosebumps on her skin.

       He chuckles darkly before leaning over her shoulder and dropping a kiss to her cheek, he then puts the safety back on the gun and unloads the gun letting the bullets drop on the ground. Kellie exhales as she feels finally out of harms way, she hears her front door open and close and slides down to the floor.
