“I don’t see her on any screen,” Latresia reported. “You know if she wants to get away from you, she’s already gone, right?”
“If you’re looking for Rain,” Leo, the head of security interrupted. “She just walked out the front door and got in her car.”
“Why didn’t you stop her?” Alwan shouted.
“Okay, let’s think for a minute about that, my nigga. You asking me why I didn’t stop Rain Robinson from doing what she wanna do,” Leo said as he waved to Rain as he watched her drive away and Latresia laughed. “Does that even make sense to you?”
“Doesn’t make any sense to me,” she laughed.
“All you can do now is decide how long you gonna wait before you call Carter and tell him that you lost Rain,” Leo said chuckling.
“Again. Tell Carter that you lost Rain again,” Latresia laughed.
As she drove away from J.R.’s, Rain knew that it wouldn’t be long before Alwan pushed the panic button. Knowing that, Rain called Carter.
“What’s up?”
“I’m on my way to Black’s house.”
“Anything I need to know about?”
“Keeping him up on where we are with your girl.”
“You gonna push him to give you the go-ahead to go after Rona, aren’t you?”
“You know me too well.”
“I think you’re right. It’s time to put a stop to this shit and move on. Hold on for a second, I’m getting a call.” Carter looked at his display and laughed. “Why is Alwan calling me?”
“To tell you that he can’t find me.”
“Lost him in the crowd again?”
“He falls for it every time.” Rain laughed. “I’ll call you when I leave Black’s house and let you know what he said.”
“I’m going to go ahead and head down to J.R.’s, settle Alwan’s nerves, and be there when you get back.”
“That’ll work,” Rain said and ended the call.
When she arrived at Black’s house and was escorted inside, Rain wasn’t surprised to see that Bobby was there playing chess with Black.
Rain sat down, waited and watched quietly as the game went on. The room was completely quiet until Black said, “Checkmate.”
“I did not see that,” Bobby said and stood up. He picked up his glass as well as Black’s and went to the bar. “You want one too?”
“Thank you,” Rain said.
“What’s up with you?” Black asked.
“I came to talk to you about where we are with Rona.”
“I’m listening.”
“I’ve had Jackie and Carter in the streets since AD was assassinated and from what they can tell, there is no change in the way they’re doing business. Nobody stepping up trying to grab power, none of that. From what we can tell, the only change has been that her boy, Garon has been more visible.”
Bobby handed Rain her drink. “And what conclusion are you drawing from that?” Bobby asked.
Black laughed. “You know, I can always tell when you’ve been spending a lot of time with Wanda.”
