“What’s up?”
“Meet us at Wanda’s office.”
“What time?”
“Same time. That cool?”
Rain looked over at Jackie. “Take me downtown to Wanda’s office.”
“You got it,” she said and headed toward the Cross Bronx Expressway.
“Yeah, that’s cool. We on our way,” Rain said.
“We’ll see you when you get here,” Black said and ended the call. “She’s gonna meet us there,” Black told Bobby and Wanda.
“How was your trip?” Bobby asked.
“Everything went well. It was a very productive trip,” Wanda said enthusiastically. “I got a lot done to move the project forward. Overall, it was a very productive trip.”
“Productive is good,” Black said.
“What does she wanna talk about that won’t keep until morning?” Wanda asked as they exited the terminal after returning from a day trip to L.A.
“No idea, but it must be important. Rain isn’t one to overreact,” Black said, and Wanda laughed to herself because she knew better. She had real issues with the way Rain had conducted the war and expressed her concerns to Black and Bobby.
“Honestly, I think we all need to be a little more hands-on in this war … don’t you?”
And since their silence always meant that Wanda was right, they were now all fully engaged in fighting the war.
“I hope she wants to tell us that she single-handedly put a stop to this shit,” Bobby said and held the door for Wanda to get in.
“No shit,” Black said, but as he got in the Escalade, he knew that wasn’t happening. Once they were all in, Treshaun, who was usually Pam’s bodyguard, took them to Wanda’s office. He was driving for Black and Bobby in Chuck’s absence while he recovered from being shot saving Shy and Jada. Treshaun was just happy to be out the house and actually doing something useful.
When Jackie parked the car in front of Wanda’s downtown office, Rain started to get out. When Jackie and Carter started to get out to go with her, Rain stopped them.
“Y’all wait here,” she said, slammed her door and walked toward the building.
“Yes, mommy,” Jackie said.
“You kids wait here while the adults talk,” Carter said and they both laughed as Rain went inside. He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket and pulled it out.
When he saw that it was Glenda calling, he looked at Jackie.
“Excuse me. I gotta take this.”
“Do you,” she said as Carter got out of the car.
“Hello, Glenda,” he said, surprised that she was calling at this time of night. “Is everything all right?”
“Where are you?”
“Downtown waiting on Rain to get finished talking to Mike, Bobby and Wanda.”
“Then I won’t bother you,” Glenda said, and Carter could tell that she’d been crying.
“What’s wrong, Glenda?”
“Me and Perry had a fight,” she sniffed. “And he put me out.”
