"Put the money in the bag", Kaliyah says counting some more. She passes the duffle bag to me and I put the money in the bag.
"Where you get all this money from?"
"Jobs that I do. I gotta take this money to Jet."
"You work for him?"
"Sum like that."
"Ohhh."
"Mhmm, you wanna ride ova there?"
"Nah, I'm good. I gotta go to home."
"Mhmm Ight. Be safe."
"Ok."
============ Kaliyah
"Here's the money. I'll get the additional later on tonight", I say, putting the duffle bag on his table.
"Ight good. What about the hit out on those niggas?"
"It's coming along. G and some other niggas out there watching em ", Mack says hitting his blunt.
"Ight and Kaliyah, do what you gotta do to get the additional. If you gotta shoot somebody, do that shit."
"Ight."
============= Olivia Later That Night

"Put this on", Kaliyah says handing me a ski mask.
"Is this really necessary? All you doing is getting money right?"
"Just put it on, girl."
I put it on and so does she.
"Period. Now let's go. You driving", she says handing me the keys.
******
"Ight remember what I said. As soon as you see me, you start the engine. Don't matter what you hear or what you see, you start this car. Stay low and don't take yo mask off."
"Alright." She hands me a Glock.
"In case you have to use it."
"Ok." She gets out the car and walks into the apartment building. I stay low and watch the apartments, waiting on K. My phone buzzes and I look at it.
Mackie😭💙 Wya?
I'm busy right now.
You with Kaliyah right now ain't you?
Don't start. I'm ok🙄
Mchmt who told you to even go ? Kaliyah did on what?
She needed me. It's fine dawg. Read 9:48pm
Gunshots ring out and I lock my phone. I see Kaliyah running down to the car, dodging the bullets and opening the passenger side door. She fires back, hitting a girl in the shoulder and getting in. I start the engine and drive away as bullets still hit the car.
"You did good", she says examining the money and zipping the book bag up. I nod and continue to drive.
*******
"AT LEAST I GOT THE FUCKIN MONEY!", Kaliyah yells back.
"Bro not with her. Why did you even involve her?", Mack says.
"Mack, you stay ya lil ass out of it. It's not like she pulled a trigger."
"Did anybody see y'all?", Jet asks.
"Nobody saw us. We had on our masks the whole time, but I wouldn't be surprised if they knew it was me."
"Should've never brought the girl there", G says hitting his blunt.
"Shut the fuck up talking to me. Ain't nobody told you to speak... anyway the point is, Olivia did her job. No mistakes, no problems, didn't even have to pull a trigger. I don't see the problem here.
"The problem is: you letting Olivia do the job when somebody else could've. She a outsider. She don't know shit about the game. Yeah she did her job, but that was risky. And you know it was. What would happen if she was shot and killed? What would the cops think? What would her family think?"
"You taking it too far out of reach. It didn't come to that."
"BUT WHAT IF IT DID?"
"Can y'all just stop? It's already done. All I did was drive. I didn't get hurt, nobody saw us. I did what Kaliyah told me to do, which is why I'm here now. It was just a favor. I don't need any of you trying to look after me, because I know what I'm doing. Outsider or not, I did good for my first 'job", I tell everybody.
"You want a job?", Jet asks me.
"Hell nawh she don't want a job. She good", Mack says.
"Nigga Ian asking you. I'm asking Olivia. Do you want a job?"
"I don't know. I'd have to think about it", I shrug.
"Ight. Let me know. Until then... here", he says handing me a stack of bills.
"Thanks."
"I hope you know what you getting into", Mack says pushing past me.
"Mhmm you sure you up for this girl?", K asks me grabbing her keys.
