"Ro you good? I got your text?" Wayne asked as I walked into the livingroom of our safe house. Today I'm doing something I never in a million years thought I'd do.

"I'm fine. Have a seat." Truth is I wasn't fine. Its been a little over three weeks since Beyonce went in and I've been so heart broken and depressed. Jason, Wayne, Aubrey, and I sat at our meeting table with me sitting in the head seat.

"As you guys know I was tangled up in some legal shit for a while and during that time I've decided that....... this is no longer the life for me to live. So I'm leaving this life behind and leaving my business to Jason. Jason you've proved you're loyalty since day one.  Wayne and Drake I want y'all to continue what you doing because you two are the back bone to this business. Y'all know y'all like brothers to me but I got a lady and two kids that need me." I'm not going to lie this is hard for me. I've been robbing and killing with these niggas for over 10 years but its time to grow up.

"We understand Ro. Handle ya home." Drake smiled dapping me up. I knew they would understand.

"Yea and if you need anything we only a phone call away."  Wayne reinsured me.

"Well now that you mention it. I do need one last favor." After crying and mopping around for three weeks it was time to bring my baby back home.

"Shit you know we down." Jason smiled rubbing his hands together.

"Cool so here's the plan." Together we bounced ideas off of each other and came up with a plan to get my baby back home.

Tonight was the night that we're executing phase 1 of our plan. I scanned the area checking my surroundings but also looking for my target. Once she was spotted I sent a quick text to Ro and followed my target from a distance. Once she stood still I knew it was my time to go. Smoothing over my all white tux. I fixed my earpiece and approached the beautiful woman across the room.

"Excuse me ma'am are you here alone?" I asked the lady in the beautiful white dress.

"I am. Why do you ask?" She smiled.

"I was hoping someone as beautiful as yourself would like to be my date for the rest of the evening." I asked politely biting the corner of my lip.

"I'm flattered but no thank you."  She politely declined.

"Come on beautiful." I encouraged her by grabbing her hand and stroking the back of it with my thumb.

"She said no thank." Ro said snatching her hand away from mine. She placed the woman behind her while looking me up and down. I wanted to laugh so bad but I held my composer.

"And you are?" I asked stepping a bit closer to tower my large frame over hers.

"About to catch a case if you don't wobble your big ass outta my girls face." She said with a snarl on her face.

"Man fuck you." I said giving Ro a push to the shoulder. Standing her ground she stared at me until I finally walked away.

"Are you ok?" I asked turning my attention to the lady standing behind me.

"I'm fine thank y...I know you from somewhere...... Maraj? What are you doing here?" Judge Raye asked a bit confused.

"Call me Onika and I know Charles. Him and I go way back." I smiled tucking a hair behind my ear.

"You know the mayor?" Hell no but my aunt does. He use to intern with my aunt. So he's had dinner and shit like that at her house a few times. I've never met him tho because I was always out running the streets.
