for me and Dre to handle shit down in Alabama. But first I’ma need you to handle something for me,” Dante told Alinna, looking into her eyes.
    * * *
    Lying in bed next to a sleeping Alinna after twenty minutes of a mixture between fucking and lovemaking, Dante thought about his plans concerning Alabama and Big Daddy.
    Hearing his phone ringing on the bedside table woke him up; he grabbed the phone and looked upon Alinna curled up beside him. She instinctively curled in closer under him, wrapping her arm around his mid-section.
    “What’s up, braw?” he answered the call, responding to Dre as his name appeared on the screen.
    “I’m outside.”
    “I’ll be down in a second,” Dante responded and hung up.
    Crawling from under Alinna, Dante climbed out of the bed, and put his boxers and sweat pants on. Then he grabbed the backpack Alinna had left for him in the den. He was walking toward the bedroom door when he heard Alinna’s voice. “You better be back in ten minutes and tell Dre I said hi.” He smiled as he turned back towards the door after listening in to Alinna’s request.
    Walking to the front door, Dante unlocked the door and saw Dre leaning on the wall by the door, smoking a Newport cigarette. “What up Bruh?”
    “What’s good fam?” Dre said, tossing the Newport and then stepping inside the house. Locking the front door behind Dre, Dante tossed the backpack onto the coffee table. “I need you to put that up for me. It’s a little over $10,000.”
    “Oh shit, you trying to finally save some money now?” Dre asked jokingly as he sat on the left of Dante on the sofa.
    “It’s for Alinna,” Dante told his boy in all seriousness as he cleared his throat and started over. “If something jumps off, I want her to be straight.” Surprised at the way Dante was talking, Dre listened and felt for Dante. He had never heard him talk the way he was at this exact moment.
    Dre changed the subject. “So what’s up? What you wanted to holla at me about?”
    “You went and seen Tony T yet?” Dante asked.
    “Yeah I went earlier; he told me you had already came by.”
    “So you know what’s up right? You know what happened to him?”
    “Yeah he told me what’s up. So what we planning on fam, because I already know you been planning on something?”
    “We are gonna take a trip out Alabama, pay this Big Daddy clown a visit.”
    “We’re not just going to visit,” Dante finished saying, looking at Dre with a smile on his lips. He began to go into detail on what he had been plotting on and how things would be handled.

 
    Chapter 10
     
    Leaving the mall after a night of shopping, Rachel was going to Club Light with her girls, Stacey and Brittany. She headed out to her Cadillac CTS inside of the parking lot at Saw Grass Mills mall. Hearing her cell phone ring from inside her Coach bag as she walked up on the diver side of her car, Rachel unlocked her car, opened the door, and tossed her bag onto the backseat after retrieving her phone. Her phone read ‘Stacey’ across it. “Hey girl what’s up?” Stacey listened to her talk about some new guy she had wanted to introduce her to since she wasn’t messing with Tony T’s sorry lying ass anymore. Rachel smiled, thinking about Tony in the hospital for doing her that way.
    Cranking up her car, Rachel put the C.T.S. In reverse, she was just backing out of her parking spot when she slammed on her brakes. A car had suddenly appeared right behind her. Hearing and feeling the slight bump she ended up still experiencing, she yelled, “Shit!”
    Seeing the Spanish girl as she climbed out of the Lexus and noticing the Gucci outfit she had on and willing to admit the girl was pretty, Rachel got out of the car and walked around to access the damage that had been done. “I’m sorry,” the Spanish women told Rachel. “I was on the phone with my boyfriend and I wasn’t paying attention.”
    “It’s alright,” Rachel told the girl not noticing anything
