“Yes, sir,” Rain said and snuggled up closer to Nick. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, Chris Toney, Memphis and Donavan were on their way to the club. “Where you goin’?” Memphis asked. “JR’s is that way.”
“We ain’t goin’ to JR’s. We always hang out there. We goin’ to Impressions tonight. I’m tired of pushin’ up on the same women. Time to see some new shit.”
“I’m for that,” Donavan said. “Have a drink to our fallen soldier; fuck some new pussy.”
“I’m for all that,” Memphis said.
It was another busy night at Impressions and Tara was out on the floor checking the bars when she got the word that three of Rain’s men were in the club. She tried not to panic, but she couldn’t help but think that this was what she and Lexi were worried about. She walked around the club and saw them at one of the bars. They were drinking and messing with the women that always seem be around when men are buying drinks. Then she got the word that one said that they came for the money. Tara was afraid that they were just waiting until the club closed to take it. She pushed her way though the crowd and made her way to her office. She sat down at her desk and called Jackie. “Hey, Tara. What’s up?”
“Rain’s men are here.”
“What do they want?” Jackie asked.
“They haven’t said anything to me. But I think they came for the money and they are just waiting until the club closes to take it.”
“Is Rain with them?”
“I didn’t see her. But that don’t mean she ain’t here. She’s a sneaky bitch, Jackie, you know that.”
Jackie held the phone for a minute and thought about her encounter with Rain earlier that evening. Rain had come to her for a reason, but guns were drawn before Rain actually said what she wanted. Maybe Rain had sent them for the money. It takes money to fight a war.
“Jackie you still there?” Tara asked.
“Yeah, I’m still here.”
“What should I do?” Tara asked fanatically.
“First thing is you need to calm down. It’s important that you don’t panic. They may just be there to have a good time. But just in case I’m wrong, I’m gonna send four men over there to back you up and protect the money.”
“Thank you, Jackie,” Tara said and hung up the phone.
Jackie hung up and looked at Travis. “What now?”
“Rain’s men are at Impressions. Tara thinks she sent them to take her money.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised. You want me to go over there?”
“No. You stay here with me,” Jackie said and picked up the phone.
As promised, she sent four men to Impressions, then she sent three more to back up Lexi, just in case Cuisine was their next target.
An hour later, Jackie’s men were at Impressions and Tara pointed out Rain’s men. Memphis saw her pointing them out and told Donavan. At the time, Chris Toney was on the dance floor, when he came back to the bar they told him they were being watched.
It didn’t take long for Chris Toney to have enough of that and they approached Jackie’s men. “Why y’all niggas watchin’ us?”
“Who’s says we’re watchin’ you?” one said.
“I guess since it’s me sayin’ it, that it’s me who says y’all is watchin’ us,” Chris Toney said and stepped closer.
“Maybe we’re here to make sure you niggas behave yourselves.”
“What?” Memphis said.
“You heard me. So whatever you were thinkin’ you came here for, you need to forget about it and move on.”
Both Memphis and Donavan started to go for their guns, but Chris Toney stopped them. “Don’t. This is just what Rain told us not to do.” He looked at Jackie’s men. “You ain’t got no problem with us. We just here to drink,” Chris Toney said and walked away. Memphis and Donavan backed away from them with their hand close to their guns. After a couple more hours, Rain’s men left without incident.
