“I’ll talk to the family,” Dickerson said because he too knew that if it involved Rain Robinson, Bautista was all in.
Chapter Twenty-three
It had been a long time since Rain ditched her security, but that was exactly what she was thinking about doing. Their used to be days, when she first became underboss of The Family, that she would be bored and simply wanted to get away from the weighted responsibility that she had to carry, even if it was just for a little while.
In those days, Rain would call up Analisa Chivas, who was always down to hit the clubs and they’d hang out. She didn’t even have to be Rain Robinson; she was Lucy. A wide open party girl that loved to drink good liquor, smoke big weed, dance and fuck all night. It used to drive Alwan, the head of her security detail, crazy every time Rain would pull her disappearing act.
Rain used to laugh at Shy for the lengths that she would go to when she wanted to get away from her bodyguard, Napoleon. It was funny until she found herself employing some of Shy’s old tactics to make her escape.
But that night, Rain wasn’t thinking about ditching her detail to go and hang out with Analisa Chivas. That night, she was thinking about doing it just for the sake of doing it. You can read whatever you want into that, but the bottom line was that Rain was bored.
The war was over. After being caught off guard for a number of reasons, and taking heavy losses, Rain turned things around and was able to kill Mobley and then Barnes and nobody had seen Hawkins in days. As far as she was concerned, he was dead to her.
Along with Carter, Jackie and Baby Chris, she had systematically shut down, killed, and in some cases, burned to the ground their operations. So, as far as Rain was concerned, it was time to take the program to the next phase.
Kill Rona King.
All that Rain was waiting for was Black to give her the green light and she would end Rona and then she would go about systematically shutting down, killing and burning to the ground her entire operation. So that’s where she was going. Rain picked up her phone and made a call.
“Hello.” Black answered on the first ring.
“Where you at?”
“The house.”
“I’m on my way.”
“See you when you get here.”
Rain stood up and went to the bar to pour herself a drink. Once she shot the drink, she put on her vest, holstered her guns, and left the office.
Yarrisa looked up from her tablet. “You out?”
“Naa, I’m just going to talk to Demi,” she said looking at Alwan as he and Byrd stood up. “Now that Mileena is gone, I want to make sure that she’s good.”
“Okay,” Yarissa said, and she motioned for them to go with her as Rain went down the stairs that led to the club.
Rain had to laugh as she burst through the doors and walked out into the club. The music was pumping, lights were flashing, and the crowd was thick.
I lose them out here in the crowd every time. I don’t know why they never see it coming, Rain said and began to put some distance between her and her detail.
“You see her?” Byrd asked.
Alwan looked around. “No,” he said and tapped his earpiece. “Latresia.”
“Go ahead,” she answered. She manned the cameras that covered every inch of J.R.’s.
“I lost Rain in the crowd.”
“Again,” Latresia laughed and began scanning all of her screens for any sign of Rain.
“Yes, again, and it ain’t funny.”
“Maybe you should call me and ask me to keep her in sight before you break the doors.
”
“Good idea for next time. Just find her.”
