“Sup, B?” Lopez asked, looking Bertha up and down.

“I’m ready for my celly to get the welcome that she deserves. I know you want in on it,” Bertha said.

“What’s in it for me?” Lopez asked.

“Four and four,” Bertha said, knowing that four cartons of cigarettes and Twinkies were music to Lopez’s ears.

Lopez smiled, showing all four teeth she had in the front of her mouth.

“Just let me know when, and I’m there,” Lopez said, confirming she was down for anything.

“Tonight, just before the kitchen closes. Just meet me at the back door where we leave the old grease and shit,” Bertha said.

“Okay, cool. Is it just gonna be us two?” Lopez asked.

“That’s all we need. I need somebody I can trust to keep their mouth shut,” Bertha said. She knew that if she could trust anyone it would be Lopez since they had done worse shit together. They exchanged a head nod and fist bump before they went their separate ways to get ready for tonight.

Nikki was in the kitchen mopping the floor. She was tired and trying not to worry about her court date. Swinging the mop from left to right had given her quiet time to think over her life. She paused when she thought that she heard something, but she knew she was the only one there tonight.

“Hello, is anyone there?" Nikki asked as she put the broom down. Her heart was beating so hard she could hear the thumping of it loud and clear.

Nikki looked around and snatched a pot off the counter before she peeped around the corner to see nothing out of place. There wasn’t even a rat that could have made the sound. Thinking that maybe the floor was as clean as it needed to be, she dropped the pan and hauled ass to the door.

“Aww, look at that ass jiggle as she is running scared,” Bertha said and slapped hands with whomever was with her.

Hearing the sound of Bertha’s voice, Nikki stopped to look Bertha in the eye.

“What kind of shit is this? I guess I should’ve known that you were on some funny shit. You’ve been too damn nice to me. So, what’s the plan? Are you gonna beat me to death or eat my pussy to death? Which one is it?” she asked.

“Which one do you prefer? We’re good with all of the above,” Bertha said and licked her lips.

“The only way your lips will get on me is over my dead body,” she said.

“Says the hoe that’s been ran thru more than a McDonalds drive-thru. Don’t get all closed legged now. I heard your shit was decent, so just open up and let me expose you to a whole new world,” Bertha told her.

“Those days are over,” Nikki tried to explain.

“You should’ve thought about that before you almost killed your sister,” Bertha said, knowing that would get Nikki’s attention good enough so Lopez could sneak up behind her.

“Sister? How do you know about that? I just found out earlier. Who the hell have you been talking to about me?” she asked.

“Murder is my cousin, and his fiancée is your sister. That’s how he broke it down to me. Seems like your mama was keeping a bunch of fucking secrets. She didn’t even bother to tell you the truth when everything hit the fan. She just left you in here to be at the mercy of the system. You’re on your own unless you wanna be my new toy,” Bertha said with a smile.

The scene of her being some kind of flunky for Bertha and this Puerto Rican bitch with her flashed before Nikki’s eyes. She would die first instead of dealing with that type of shit for the rest of her life. Thoughts of Lawrynn really being her sister and all the shit she had done to her came to mind as well. Nikki had done a bunch of shit to everyone she knew. Now, here she was about to get raped and beaten by some bold bitches who thought they had actual dicks between their legs. These bitches were crazy if they thought this shit was gonna work.

Nikki ran back to the sinks that held the dishes that she just cleaned. She picked up the biggest knife she could find.

“Oh, this one wants to fight. Getting a taste of her is gonna be even sweeter now. We like it when they fight,” Lopez said.

“Fight me when I’m dead, bitch,” Nikki said just before taking the knife and plunging it between her ribs just under her right breast.

“Yo, what the fuck!” Bertha yelled.

Lopez looked at her then back to where Nikki’s body lay on the floor. They both

took off running, leaving her there to bleed out.
