     "So we meet again Tiana", I said and Tiana looked as if she has seen a ghost.

"Why am I here" She asked looking up and she had two black eyes and a busted lip.

"Because you sold my address to my babymama and the police. But we'll get to that later, first you're going to go back to Cali and bring your son back so Ale can get a test done." I said causing her to chuckle.

"And why would I do that?" She asked.

"You don't have to do it Tiana, i'm not forcing you. Your son will just grow up without a mother." I said and a look of terror took over her face.

"You're going to kill me over a paternity test?" She asked.

"I'm going to kill you over my brother's respect, and for selling my address, why you out here being a rat bitch thirsty for a penny." I said.

"He's Ale's son. Ale is the only person I slept with." She said.

"We not saying he's not Ale's son, we just want the proof." I said and she nodded.

"So why you sell my address?" I asked.

"I sold your address because I used to work for Vinny but i'm still in debt.." She said and Ale let out a deep sigh and began pacing.

Vinny is the leader of the "Zoe" niggas which is the name of the Hatian gang.

"When did you work for Vinny?" I asked.

"When I lived here during highschool. I used to fuck with Vinny until I met Ale. He told me that if I loved him I'd start working for him and me being young and dumb said yes to any and everything. I Caught bodies for him and all. Eventually he had me doing drugs until one night I caught him cheating and tried to flip and he beat my ass and I left and went to Cali. He ended up getting back in contact with me apologizing and I returned a few years later. He beat my ass again and told me to kill you and Ale or he's killing me. I said yes with no hesitation because I didn't know Ale like that. But then I met Ale and caught feelings and then I ended up pregnant. I couldn't kill him 1. because I had feelings but also because he's my son's father. I ended up moving again and having my son and over the years things were fine until Vinny found me again when I was coming here for NY Fashion Week and told me that I owed him which ended up being right around the time that Ariana called me. I never wanted any problems I just figured since Ale has always been so hostile with me plus Ari told me Justice was still around.. I just panicked and gave up the address." She said and I wiped a hand down my face before I seen Ale walking out the door.

  "I'm sorry.. I had to do what I had to do to protect me and my son." She said after a long pause.

  "Nah you good. Yeah its fucked up but you had to protect your kid." I said and she nodded as I walked out of the room.

  "Yo bro." I said to Ale who was sitting at my desk with his head in his hands. 

  "I would've never known she was fucking Vinny, let alone working for him." He said.

  "I know bro but at this point that don't even matter no more. These niggas is plotting and we need to handle this shit asap." I said and he nodded hopping up.

  "You right bro." He said dapping me.

  "So what I was thinking was to have one of the security guards escort her back home and then fly back with her and her son.. mainly to watch her. Her story seems genuine but I still don't trust her." I said and he nodded.

  "What if this is my kid bro?" He asked.

"You just gon have to man up and take on that responsibility. It's gone be alot of shit getting done and handled differently. You been wanting a kid for this long right? So show him. I said and he nodded as the room grew quiet.
