For a fee by Lbs poundz played through the blue tooth speaker sitting on the marbled counter. I sat on the stairs looking over everyone as they went over different plans when it was all said and done they would make sure that it would fit into my plan.

"I know this isn't something fathers ask of their baby girls, but Reign you're good at what you do and no blood will get on your hands. When we return you can leave the city, state, country the choice is yours but this ends here." My father ran his top teeth smoothly across his bottom lip look down at his Rolex watch. Leaning my head on his shoulder something about all of this didn't feel right. Something felt different. Even the room felt different and within seconds, the front door opened causing everyone to draw their weapons.

"Relax it's just me! Yall Motha' fuckas' way too nervous let's get this bread and drop a few." Dre shouted over the music dropping two black duffel bags filled with guns in the center of the floor. Having ghosts here had me uneasy because his loyalty didn't lie within the family. The chance of Blaq already knowing our moves didn't sit well with me at all.

"Dre can I talk to you and daddy for a minute?" The two men followed me into my room as Dre closed the door behind him. We walked further into the walk-in closet looking at both of them with uncertainty.

"What wrong Rae if you want out let us know?" Dre look concerned yet very alert.

"We need to switch it up, I don't trust Ghost not with yall lives especially not my father's life. I'm gonna handle my part now I've done my research I know who I need to negotiate with. Damien knows we're here but he won't see this coming and neither will Ghost.

"You can't do shit with no gun on you Reign and that ain't up for discussion." My father whispered amongst the three of us attempting to hand me his.
Tapping it with my finger , I reached down for my open suitcase pulling out my own. A smile crept on to their faces as they chuckled amongst one another.

"Look at Reign ready for what ever, listen that's fine and all but you still ain't doing this shit alone I'm riding with you end of story." Dre kissed my forehead before walking out the closet and into the bedroom.

"When this is done I just want you to be happy baby girl, thats all your mother and I want." My father embraced me in his arms tightly as he kissed the top of my head before leaving me alone in the closet with my thoughts.

I decided to lay down for a little, the sun was beginning to set I would be insane not to take a mental picture. Skimming through my emails I found one with the information I needed for my meeting. Location was now back in Atlanta tomorrow night. My phone buzzed and flashed in my lap indicating I had a new message.

I opened the text message from Dre.
"I can't wait to marry you someday if you let me. I know we've been through all this crazy ass shit but Reign I don't see myself feeling like this for anyone else ever again it's always been you and always will be shorty."

I saw the icons showing that he was still typing till they disappeared. Laying the phone against my chest I laid back caving into the comforter and pillows. I hated admitting when he was right but he was right. I won't find this feeling with anyone ever, nothing will ever come close to what we have.

1am East Atlanta
" Welcome back sorry about the location switch. I was a little taken back when Ryder said he was sending his best negotiator and you were a woman. None the less I did my research you are a woman about your business. Daddy's business. Rivera said as he cleaned his nails.

Looking up from my business Ipad I couldn't help but to scan this Rivera dudes face. Shit felt off but as always men usually feel intimidated but this wasn't intimidation it was greed.
The sound of a creaking metal hinge echoed as foot steps approached us.
