After talking to Ashley and police for what seemed like hours, they hit their first dead end. Every single camera in the salon was broken, so August has already took it upon hisself to come up with people who could've done it. Nothing was stolen, but everything was completely destroyed. Whoever did it even managed to break into her office and broke everything breakable. Now they're back home.

"August, Peyton is in jail. How would he do it?", Kennedy asks.

"Maybe he got out, you literally never know. Anyways, that nigga the first person on my suspect list.", August says.

"Alright Detective Alsina.", she says resting her head on his shoulder.

"I meant what I said mama, I'm finding out who did this shit and when I do? Mm.", he says sucking his teeth.

"I love you for doing what the police was supposed to, but I just don't want you to get hurt.. or arrested.", she says.

"Do you know who you talking to?", he asks raising his eyebrow.

"Uh, you?", she asks resting her head on her fist.

"Nah dip smartass, I'm implying that just because I live in California now doesn't mean I forgot where the fuck I came from. I'm still the same nigga from N.O., just got a little money now.", August says shrugging, "With that being said, ain't shit gone happen to me and ain't shit gone happen to you. Understand?", he asks looking at her.

"Completely.", Kennedy says looking at him and biting her lip.

"Stop that.", he says.

"Stop what?", she asks.

"Being nasty, we gotta focus.", he says.

"I'm sorry, but that was.. so sexy.", she says.

"I know I'm irresistible, but we gotta be serious right now babe. You gotta start designing shit for repairs, cause I know you want everything to be completely different than it was before. And I..", he says taking his gun out of his nightstand, "Gotta figure out whose ass I'm bout to bust a cap in.", he says cocking it and smirking.

"See, that shit right there is what's making me not focus, cause I just-", Kennedy says, getting cut off by August choking her and kissing her.

"Now focus.", he says pecking her lips one more time before pulling away.

"Aight, this happened this morning.. Three days after we got engaged, so that's a motive babe.", August says pacing.

"You're right, like whoever could've done it could be tryna get some type of vengeance.", Kennedy says watching him.

"Exactly, come here.", he says motioning her to come to him.

"What?", Kennedy asks walking up behind him and wrapping her arms around him.

"You ever held a gun before?", August asks pulling her in front of him.

"Uh.. no", she says looking at it on the dresser then up at him.

"Go 'head mama.", he says as she slowly picks up the gun and runs her nail on the side of it making him chuckle softly, "You look so innocent, aight hold it up and aim it.", he says as she points it to the mirror.

"Okay, okay. Just..", he trails off moving her hands to hold it correctly.

"Oh.", she chuckles nervously.

"It's aight, just don't shoot my fuckin mirror. Now do everything again.", he says stepping back as he watches her do everything again, correctly this time.

"Damn, now I see whatchu mean. That shit was sexy, do it one more time.", August says.

"Babe, this thing is heavyyy.", Kennedy whines.

"Okay, just one more time then you can stop.", he says sitting on the bed and watching her as she does it one more time.

"Aight good, I'm taking you to a shooting range. Let's go.", he says.

-

"Did I hit it?", Kennedy asks squinting her eyes.

"No.", August says with a straight face.

"Bae can we please just go back home? Or can you at least not make this serious, it's supposed to be fun.", she whines, pouting.

"No and no. You gone need this shit, so we gone be serious. Now let's go.", he says tapping her butt twice, making her roll her eyes as she picks the gun back up, "Lose the attitude.", he says looking down at her.

"Shut up.", she mumbles focusing on the target before she fires the gun multiple times until she empties the clip. She sits the gun down as August pulls the target up.

"Okay, good. Got a couple head shots, and several body shots. This is really good babe.", August says looking at the sheet.

"Thanks.", Kennedy says scratching her head and sucking her lips in.

"Look, I love you aight? I just want you to be safe under any and all circumstances. We don't know who did this shit, just as much as we don't know what the fuck else they got planned. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you babe.", he says cupping her face.

"I love you too, but you're not gonna lose me. Know why?", she asks slowly starting to smile.

"Why?", he asks.

"Because I'm gonna start taking this seriously, I promise. Plus I have New Orleans' Finest, literally helping me get all this shit down packed. I'm good.", Kennedy shrugs, making August laugh.

"That's what I love to hear baby.", he says smacking her ass, "Kiss me.", she says puckering up her lips as he grabs her face with one hand and kissing her.

"Tighten up.", he says smacking her ass again.

"Huh?", she asks raising her eyebrow.

"Yeah, we got a lot of work to do.", he chuckles.
