He jumped around in the chair until the chair made a loud thud on the floor. I nodded my head for one of my soldiers to extinguish him.

“Shh…iiiittttt,” he said, shaking.

“What were you sayin’?” I poured lighter fluid on him.

“You…you.” He stuttered. “I would…would never…never cross you.”

I lit another match and threw it on him.

“I would hope not, nigga.”

The sound of his screams was echoing off the walls.

“Let him burn for a minute and put his ass out. Then drop that bitch ass nigga off at his mama house,” I told them before walking out.

If it took me to take everyone out one by one, that’s what I planned on doing. I changed my clothes and jumped in my car because I had one thing I needed to handle before I was able to sit and talk to Nikki.

“Come in.”

I pushed the door open to see Kyenna sitting behind the desk with the phone to her ear. She put her finger up, telling me to give her a moment.

“Okay, so I can put you down for a meeting with my operational manager next week. I want this resolved before the end of the month. You have a great day,” she said before hanging up.

“Yo’ detail told me you went on a date last night,” I said before she could open her mouth.

“Wow! Hello, Shameek King. How is your day fucking going? Mine is going great.”

“Hello, Kyenna. Now back to my previous statement.”

“It was not a date.”

“Why did you not let security take you?”

“Because sometimes I want to be alone without muthafuckas in my business. Obviously, they still were.”

“Yes, they called me shortly after you left and I told one of them to follow you and stay outside.”

“This is ridiculous.”

“No, what’s ridiculous is that we still don’t kno’ who the fuck killed my brother and why you movin’ ‘round this bitch like they won’t come at you next.”

Kyenna stared at me and nodded her head. “Is this about my safety, or is it about Lloyd? Let’s put it on the floor.”

“It’s both.”

“Oh.” She crossed her fingers. “What is it about Lloyd, may I ask?”

“He was my brother’s trusted advisor and friend. Who’s to say he ain’t behind this shit?”

Kyenna laughing kind of pissed me off.

“Lloyd being behind Rah’s murder is crazy. The nigga ain’t got a lick of street in him.”

“And those are always the ones you have to watch for. The ones that try to fuck off on the wife ‘cause she’s grieving.” I gave her a menacing glare.

“I think we both know Lloyd had nothing to do with that shit, and it was a hit. The way Lloyd talks about Rah, he would never do something that low.”

We both sat there staring and waiting for one of us to have a comeback. I had a feeling that Lloyd didn’t do the shit, but I couldn’t be too sure. Rah spoke highly of the nigga too, so I knew they were close.
