“Thanks, Fats. Have a seat.”
She sat in one of the chairs in front of my desk.
“So, you are here to fix her mess, huh?”
“You know my role in the family. They call, I fix,” she shrugged.
I passed her the check in an envelope.
“That’s only enough for her. I guess Tony’s people will be there today to bail him out too.”
“Tony ain’t locked up,” Fats responded.
“What? Bee told me they were together,” I seethed.
“No, they were together, but Tony got out on Friday and left her ass in there talmbout his people didn’t have enough to get them both out,” Fats explained.
“Are you serious?”
“Dead ass. That nigga was out on Friday night like ain’t shit happen. I saw him out but didn’t think to ask where Bee was. She didn’t call me until Saturday, asking for the money. I said no because I figured her dumb ass needed to sit and think about her choices. Plus, I didn’t have it,” Fats said.
“I thought about saying no, too, but I couldn’t do that to the girls.”
“That’s understandable,” she shrugged. “I hope this helps her to see that Tony ain’t no good. How you gone leave your chick in jail the whole weekend?”
I shook my head. It was a pitiful situation.
“Well, let me get on down there and get her out. Thanks for helping even though she doesn’t deserve it,” Fats said.
“It’s all good,” I responded.

“How was your day?” I asked the girls after picking them up from aftercare.
“It was good!” Fee spoke first.
“All the girls in my class said my hair was pretty,” Skye said.
I’d tied their hair down the way Cam showed me. I sprayed some oil on it before we left the house.
“Even Patty Chadwick?” Fee asked.
“Yep, even Patty,” Skye returned.
Apparently, Patty Chadwick was the popular girl in Skye’s classroom. From what I could gather from the girls’ conversations, Patty was also hard to impress.
“Wow,” Fee said.
“I know, right? Daddy, will Ms. Cam be doing our hair all the time now?” Skye asked.
“For the time being, yes.”
I’d already gone onto Cam’s online scheduling system and booked two appointments for the girls. One appointment to touch up the front like Cam mentioned and then another one for a new style.
“Yes!” Skye said, pulling her fist down from the air.
“We are having sloppy joes and fries for dinner tonight. How does that sound?” I said while looking at them through the rearview mirror.
