"Ight then everybody get they stuff settled so we can have dinner and explain all this to ya" Quan said.

About an hour and a half later they were all done and getting ready to cook. Grace and Ray showered before the others so they could get a head start on cooking. Eulani went to the room closest to the back door that led to upstairs. She knew she couldnt smoke downstairs so it was easier for her to go upstairs. She sat on the bed and pulled her phone out. She wanted to call Jaece, but she was waiting until after diner when she knew everything. She went to The Crew iMessage group chat.Hey guys. Eulani
Wya? I didnt see you in English. Avielle
Im upstate. Eulani
Upstate? DJ
Quan kidnapped her knowing she was posed to come with me but oh well im puttin my phone on dnd i dont wanna be bothered. Zhane
Nae its not like that relax. Eulani
Zhane didnt respond to Eulanis text. Eulani locked her phone and didnt bother to look at the messages DJ and Avielle sent. She walked to the dresser and picked out clothes so she could take a shower. She grabbed the new towel and washcloths she bought while they were at Walmart. She took her soaps and lotion to the bathroom with her since she couldnt walk around in her towel like she would at home.
Upstairs, Quan was also preparing himself to take a shower before dinner. Red knocked on his door as he grabbed his towel. Quan dropped his clothes and walked to the door.
"Wassup" Quan said as he opened the door and walked back to his bed. Red followed and closed the door behind him.
"Yo what happened to that note we put on ya car yesterday" Red asked. He wanted to get straight to who did it so he could go home.
"Oh shit" Quan said. He didnt even pay attention to the note he put on his windshield. "That shit wasnt there when I went outside."
"Wait, so what the fuck, was it the niggas who shot at us or we got a fuckin stalker" Red said as he got angry. He hated not knowing who was trying to kill them. Red was the smart one out of the group. He was behind most of the plans when it came to Quans business. Red knew about a lot of people in the Bronx, and could find anyone in minutes. The fact that someone was now trying to kill him and he was clueless to who it is, awakened a different type of anger inside him.
"Ion know man. I came up with some shit last night tho, we gon talk after we have dinner with everybody and shit. After me you and E coming up here to find shit out" Quan said as he grabbed his clothes.
"Man ight, but this shit needs to hurry up ion wanna stay here" Red said and walked out of the room.
Back downstairs Ray and Grace were making a big dinner. It had been a while since they all were together so they were making up for time. Ray and Grace were busy in the kitchen enjoying themselves. While they were cooking, they danced to 90's hits and drank a glass of red wine. They both wore tshirts and biker shorts. Although they were in their 50's their bodies were right. They dressed as if they were younger and it suited them well. Rays hair was in a loose bun while Graces long healthy hair flowed down her back.
"I miss this so much" Grace said as she danced with Ray.
"Me too, we used to have the best times" Ray responded.
"Yeah i know, it all changed when Kareem died" Grace said as she got serious. Ray looked at her and instantly became sad. Her fiancée was her light, and when he died her life became dark. If it wasnt for her two kids, she wouldn't have made it through her hurt.
