He rubbed his hand through his locs.

“I need you to lock down the surveillance footage.”

“Got it,” Prime said.

“And we gotta find Big Will before the cops do.”

Prime pulled out his phone.

I stepped back toward the doorway and texted Melody. I had barely thought about my own house since Bryce’s message came through.

Me: You and Keenan good?

Her answer came as I was headed to meet with law enforcement.

Melody: Yes. We’re watching a movie. Are you okay? What’s going on?

She had told me she had a bad feeling.

I stared at the screen, pissed that I had laughed it off. Then I pictured her on my couch with her son beside her. At least they were somewhere safe.

Me: I’m okay. I’ll explain when I get home.

Just as I was about to slide my phone away, she called me.

“What’s up?” I asked.

“One of the security guys just came in here as we were texting. They just caught Kira trying to break in. They tackled her on the lawn. Apparently she had a gun on her,” she explained.

“What the fuck?! I’m on my way.”

Kira and her brother decided to hit me at both angles tonight. I guess she was used to me not having security. Shit’s changed since she was last in my life. But it was time to end this.

Melody

This bitch was out of her damn mind. But thank God, Justice’s security was on point. They caught her crazy ass creeping around with a gun. What did she think she was going to do? Silly bitch.

I watched from the kitchen window as two guards brought her across the backyard. Her hood had fallen off, and she kept twisting toward the man holding her arm. Another guard carried the gun they had taken from her.

“Is everything okay?” Keenan asked.

“Yeah, go up to your room. I’m going to wait for Justice,” I replied.

“What happened?”

“Somebody came onto the property who wasn’t supposed to be here. Security handled it.”

He looked toward the window, but I stepped away from it before he could come closer.

“Go upstairs, baby. I’ll come check on you.”

He hesitated before heading out of the kitchen.

I waited until I heard him going up the stairs, then looked outside again. Kira was arguing with the guards as they took her toward the side entrance.

That bitch had already tried to lure me into her house. Now she had brought her crazy ass to this one. I couldn’t even have a quiet night with my son without somebody trying to fuck it up.
