(ROSA PASSES THE PAPER AFTER TELLING ME HER STORY)

AS I'M ABOUT TO READ IT SHE GRABS MY HAND AND ASKS ME TO FORGIVE HER. AT THIS TIME WE'RE BOTH CRYING, BECAUSE HER LIFE HAS BEEN HORRIBLE. HOW COULD ANY MOTHER DO THOSE THINGS TO HER OWN CHILD?

I'LL BE DAMN! BITCH HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FOREVER-LOVING MIND! I TRUSTED YOU, TOOK YOU IN, AND GAVE YOU A JOB, HOUSE, AND A BENTLY! YOU HAVE MONEY UP THE ASS AND YOU BROKE MY RULES BY BEING INFECTED AND DISHONEST! WHY? IM SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BUT HONEY YOU'VE JEOPARDIZED SO MANY LIVES! THESE ARE HIGHER-UP MEN AND WOMEN THAT TRUST MY BUSINESS. THESE PEOPLE HAVE FAMILIES AND OMG! (HERE I AM RANTING AND RAVING AS SHE SITS AND CRIES FOR WHAT'S LEFT OF HER LIFE) USUALLY, I WOULD HAVE KILLED A BITCH FOR THE SHIT SHE PULLED AND FED THAT HOE TO MY EGYPTIAN WOLVES. BUT I DIDN'T WANNA GET MY BABIE'S SICK AND SHE WAS ALREADY DEAD.

ROSA I HAVE A QUESTION AND BE HONEST. HAVE YOU EVER SLEPT WITH ANY OF THE OTHER GIRLS?

I I I I I...

YES OR NO DAMN IT!? AND WHICH ONE?

NO, I HAVE NOT, I LOOKED AT THOSE GIRLS AS MY SISTERS. YOU AND THEM ARE THE ONLY REAL FAMILY I EVER HAD. I COULDN'T SEE MYSELF HURTING THEM.

(SIGHHHHHH) THANK GOD...

DO YOU KNOW THE POSITION YOU'VE PUT ME IN? THESE PEOPLE COULD DESTROY ME! BUT BEING THAT I HAVE THEM BY THE BALLS THEY'LL KEEP QUIET. IM GONNA HAVE TO SHUT STABE 1 DOWN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. IM GLAD ONCE I ASSIGNED MY CLIENTS TO A STABLE THAT'S WHERE THEY STAYED. NOW YOU KNOW I HAVE TO HAVE MY GIRLS CHECKED AND MAKE SURE THEY WERE USING CONDOMS AND NOT BEING DIRTY LIKE YOUR ASS.

I'M SORRY BOSS I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU OR THE BUSINESS. I WAS JUST HURT AND DIDN'T CARE ABOUT A MAN BECAUSE THEY GAVE THIS TO ME!

ROSA AS A FRIEND, YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN LOYAL TO ME IF NO ONE. THIS IS OVER I LOVE YOU, BUT YOU GOTTA GO. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT GOD HAS MERCY ON YOUR SOUL AND YOU LIVE A BETTER LIFE. WELL, I'LL DROP YOU OFF.

NO, ITS OK ILL WALK, I NEED SOME TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IM GONNA DO NEXT.

My mind was on 10 and I didn't know what to do next I loved Rosa like my own and now this. I need to ease my mind, maybe I'll talk to Gemini about this. I'm gonna have to make sure to retest all the clients like it's a yearly thing and all my girls as they already do. Anyone that ever requested Rosa can not sign up for another stable. It's a mean and cruel world, but we all know it's every man for himself or in my case every bitch!

Drama has always been a part of my life, growing up was a bitch and left me very bitter. My whole attitude and outlook on life was fucked up. I remember when I was 8 months pregnant with Wootie like it was yesterday. Lord knows that's a story I'll take to my grave.

(flashback)

OH MY GOD! Momma please no don't kill him! Screaming my head off while jumping up and down barefoot in knee-high snow. Looking at my mother as she picks a man up by his neck and guts him like a fish. He was dangling there, holding his stomach to keep his intestines from falling out. His body went limp and all I heard was silence. It's like I'm having an out-of-body experience. Before I know it I was face to face with his lifeless body and I was fascinated to see how death looked. With wide eyes and a look of pain, they say a man who dies with his eyes open deserved to die...
