Annie's POV

Friday
June 5, 1981
7:00 p.m.

I flipped through my books finding my notes. I finally have time to look at my cosmetology books. All the great styles I'm going to create. This is going to be amazing. I heard a simple knock at my door. I got up & peeped out the hole.

That's strange nobody is there. I opened the door. I looked left & right. Just as I was about to close the door I heard a voice.

"You Annie?"

I looked down "Yes."

"Good because I got a message for you" She said while walking inside my apartment.

I frowned at her rudeness. I didn't tell this heifer to come in. And who the hell is she?

I closed the door "And what message is that?"

"If you come back to 2300 Jackson Street again, your body parts are gonna be appear in different locations" She said while sitting down on my couch.

I followed her into the living room "Excuse me?"

"You heard me girl" She said while popping her gum.

"How you gon' come in my crib & threaten me like me?"

"Look sweetie, I ain't got no beef with you. I'm just doing what the boss say" She said propping her feet up on the coffee table.

I folded my arms "And who the hell is your boss?"

"You trying get me killed" She questioned "I have a life you know."

"So do I."

"I know so let us both live it while we can" She said.

"Your not giving some type of information."

"Fine, I'll give you my name. I'm Cameron" She said sitting up.

"Okay Cameron, how did you know where I live?"

"The boss knows everything girl" She said.

"Why is he coming at me?"

She got up & headed towards the window. She peeked out the blinds. She looked nervous. She paced around.

"Oh god he's still out there" She said to herself.

"Who's out there?"

She looked at me in fear.

"Nothing" She said.

I walked towards her "Are you okay?"

She opened her mouth to say something but stopped. She looked over her shoulder again.

"You got a bathroom" She asked.

"Yeah, i'll show you."

I lead her to the bathroom. I opened the door for her. I was about to leave until she grabbed me & pulled me inside with her.

"Hey!"

"Shush girl" She whispered.

"Why?"

"He's watching you" She said.

"Your boss?"

"Yes, he knows what your doing 24/7. He has eyes & ears everywhere. He knows your every move" She said.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

"Does it look like I'm joking? I'm trying to save your ass" She said.

"Someone is watching us both now?"

"Yes, everyday that person sits outside in their car watching your apartment. Whenever you go out they follow you. Whenever you talk on the phone they listen" She said.

"What? Are you serious? Someone is watching me?"

"For a good while sis" She said.

I covered my mouth "Oh my god, what do I do?"

"If I was you i'll pretend like everything is normal. He'll notice if something is out of the ordinary" She said.

"I just can't act like I'm not being watched."

"Don't worry you got me" She said.

"I don't know you so how am I suppose to trust you? You work for him."

"Just trust me girl. I don't want to see you get killed or worse. I seen too many girls like you get hurt. All of them don't survive" She said.

I ran my fingers through my hair "okay I trust you but how are we going to keep in contact if my phone is tapped?"

"Meet me at Club 30 every Friday before you go to work" She said.

"What if they follow me?"

"I'll handle that" She said.

I sighed & rubbed my eyes.

"This can't be happening right now."

"Come on before they noticed something is up" She said.

We walked out of the bathroom.

"Remember what i said" She said.

"I'll keep that in mind."

She headed towards the door & opened it. She walked away leaving the door opened. I closed the door behind her. I went towards the window. She got in a limo & drove off.

Somebody please help me.
