"T the caterers should be here in half an hour. August and I can handle the rest, I think you should get to the airport now," I instructed Big T as he finished inflating the last silver helium balloon.

"Aight, catch yall in a bit," he said before jogging up the deck's steps.

Today we were hosting his daughter's 15th birthday party. Since the kids were all on Christmas break, Terrance flew his daughter and her closest friends to Atlanta from Florida.

"I think you should go relax befo' this party gets underway...ya know, put up ya feet. You been back an forth all mornin' " I heard August say as he set gifts from each of us on a nearby table.

" I will, I will....as soon as I tie these ribbons-" I began

"Nahh, Sneak can do that...his ass been watching sports center since he got hea' " August interrupted me

"I'm afraid he cant. I'm doing stacked bows with the French knot technique," I told him as I tied away.

He raised an eyebrow, " basically some fancy shit we don't know how to do?"

I laughed, " Yea basically"

"Da party don't start til 7 doe...I would prefer if ya did rest up now fa later," he went on insisting

I sighed. August was so demanding at times.

"I will August, just let me finish these last few ribbons okay?" I said back to him

"Damm man. Let da woman finish, ain't yall doctor say don't let her get stressed out?" Sneak asked as he came over eating a fruit roll up.

August softly sucked his teeth, " aight man, whatever " he finally said in defeat.

I smiled at Sneak for taking my side on this one.

The party was in full effect that evening as music blasted in the backyard. I sat munching on some deviled eggs as August took photos with a few of Jordan's friends who were his fans.

"Monty girl, thanks a lot for organizing this. Jo-Jo loves it," T came up and said to me

"Anything for you T, you know that" I smiled back and said

"Oh BTW where the candles for the cake at?" He asked

"Ooh I left them in the cupboard in the kitchen. Help me up so I can get em?" I said stretching my hands out as T pulled me to my feet.

"Be right back," I said as I strolled into the house. I pulled opened the cupboard handle and heard the doorbell ring at that.

Good thing I came in here. I thought as I took the box of candles and headed for the front door.

I swung the door open to be greeted by a man in a police uniform.

"Good evening maam. Atlanta P.D. I'm looking for a Miss Mikaela Montgomery. " he said looking down at his notepad with my name written on it.

I folded my arms and got serious.

"I'm her, but I'm sorry I'm not obliged to talk to you without my lawyer present," I said sternly.

"Well Ms Montgomery I don't think a lawyer is needed for what I'm about to tell you. We basically have some new development on your case," the officer explained

I frowned, " development as in what?"

"Did you ever have a home camera installed in your apartment?" He asked
