“Wouldn’t miss that shit for the world, E.” I told her, and she smiled.
Zoya kissed her cheek. “I’ll be there.”
“Cool… we got a sky box for everyone, and I need to make sure my count is good.” Just as quick as she was here, she dipped off to ask someone else.
Capri held onto her friend. “So, nothing is in writing, but they want me to step in as Special Assistant US Attorney.”
Zoya gasped. “You fucking with me… Pri, that’s federal.”
She nervously smiled. “Yeah. Robinson said that he’s been watching how I’ve been handling everything as DA, and he’s impressed. He called in some favors from the Attorney General, and he wants to offer me to serve out the rest of the term for the one that was murdered.”
I could see why Meer was nervous. This was his wife, and she was going into the lion’s den every single day.
“You think they know something?”
“No, I think they legit think I’m good at my job and want me on their team, not even knowing. Zoy, that means that Preston case… I would be the prosecutor.”
“You think he innocent, Boobie?”
“I don’t know… I usually know when I start a case, and I’ve only sat in on video calls. I’m not close enough to the case yet.”
“Fuck you mean,yet?”
“He’s not innocent, and when I show you what I know… you’ll see.”
Zoya smirked. “Then, I guess it’ll be a family reunion because Kora is the judge on his case.”
Zoya was talking like she was gonna be on that case or in that courtroom. I allowed it tonight, but she already heard what I told her.
Capri held her hand out, and they both hit the IG shake, and laughed. “Tonight, we celebrate Landon and Navy and shaking our asses on a beach soon.”
“Ain’t gonna be too much ass shaking,” Meer jumped in.
While Zoya and Capri mingled, I went over to Menace. He was standing alone with a drink in his hand, so I stood beside him. “I’m hearing silence on what happened at Jerk niggas and Lime.”
I looked at him. “Jerk and Lime, Mens… where the fuck you even pull that from?”
He remained unbothered and put his drink to his lips. “How is she?”
“She’s straight. I know she’ll struggle because that’s life, but she’s good right now.” I assured him of his sister.
“Yeah… she hates me?”
“Nah. I think she’s learning what it takes to be her big brother.”
“Yeah, she doesn’t even know the half.”
“Talk to her… stop protecting them. They’re adults, let her in. Stop carrying all that shit on your back.”
“You said there’s a target on my back, Gideon.”
“Gerald, Bitch!”
Menace smirked as he looked out at his wife dancing with her cousin. Corleon was standing on the other side having a debate with Capp. I assumed when he walked away laughing and circled back around, Capp said some off the wall shit.
“I told you I would protect her… ain’t going nowhere.”
“Cool, so you’ll marry her?”
