When It Works

True Colors

"Mariah take the kids upstairs real quick" Zac more so demanded causing Fatima Mel to assist. Zac never took his eyes off Trae. Trae never took his eyes off Demetrius, Demetrius never took his eyes off Stasha and Stasha never took her eyes off Keisha. Fatima and Mel returned and noticed the circle of death stare down.

"Aaaawwww shit!" Mel said who hardly ever curses. So it caught the room by surprise. Murdock slowly got up as he noticed Trae reaching in his waistband. He leaned down and whispered in his ear.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you"

Trae put his hands at his side as Kareem came through the door with the surviving intruder. Kareem shook him by the neck signaling him to point out who set it up. With little hesitation he pointed. Everyone's heads turned at the exact same time at the exact speed.

"POOH!!!" Fatima yelled at the top of her lungs shortly after Mariah appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Wass-uuupppp oh. Yo room?" Mariah caught on quickly that someone was about to lose their life and they didn't have time to waste. The only thing they could do was put the kids in the only sound proof room in the house.

"Please and come back so you can hear this" Fatima asked directing her attention back to the culprit.

"Damn so explain this to me Stasha. Like what was the reason?" Zac asked

"She about to lie" Demetrius said

"Nigga you got yo nerve, you been sleepin with this bitch and I'm the liar" Stasha yelled. Demetrius laughed.

"Keisha how long we been messing around?" He asked. Hesitant to answer she did

"Three months" dropping her head

"Pick yo head up baby.he said softly. Trae how long you and my soon to be ex wife been fuckin and don't lie I'll kill you right here" he cut his eyes at Trae

"Since the grand opening of 3-0-3" Everyone's eyes got big hearing the confession except  Demetrius. He had noticed changes in Stasha's behavior and began to follow her. He could've approached her a few times truth is it hurt to bad at first. Then he got over it. Troy is counting on his fingers the months and calculating.

"Ooooohhhh my god y'all been fuckin a yeeeeeaaarrrr and some change. The deception!" Troy said sarcastically finally getting close enough to the answer.

"Exactly and this bitch got some nerve I didn't start fuckin Keisha until a few months ago when the divorce papers were finally drawn and finalized." Stasha's eyes shot up at him as she stood.

"DIVORCE! Nigga really"

"Let me see them papers Andi" Demetrius asked as everyone looked on. Troy was yet eating again while everything was chaotic. Andi  went and retrieved the documents.

"I don't know why I'm even showing her these papers Tima bout to kill her anyway" Andi said giving Stasha the papers. Attached to the papers were pictures of her and Trae on numerous occasions. Stasha eyes started to well with tears.

"Girl I know you fuckin lyin. I'm goin upstairs" Mariah said completely done at the sight of Stasha crying.

"Bitch dry them fucking tears. You been cheating on yo husband set my man up and you cryin. Bitch my kids was there" Fatima said walking closer to Stasha.

"Fatima I-"

"No bitch you stay quiet. Sign the papers and sign em fast" She shoved a pen in her hand. Stasha signed the documents and handed them back to Andi.

"Now explain"

"You killed my entire family. Not one single living relative I worked hard to get Zac to quit without going to far." Everyone listened

Stasha ran money for Bricks back in New York. She new of him before  Demetrius. Once Zac and Troy robbed bricks it cut off her money and she couldn't have that. So she and Bricks devised a plan to send the Feds on Zac the morning he and Troy went to the diner. Even with Zac locked up the game wasn't the same and money was slow. Bricks had burned his bridge with his father after killing his brother so the quality of Coke wasn't the same and people refused to buy it. In one last ditch effort to pull Zac out of retirement Bricks asked Stasha to meet with him so they could kill Keisha. "That's right I delivered the blow that should've killed you but I guess you were determined to fuckin live" Keisha never said anything she kind of smirked and nodded for her to continue. "Go on" Keisha said. Once Zac got wind of the news he had already begun his new life In Atlanta. It wasn't until Stasha had met Zac and realized who he was. It was a coincidence that her brother had a thing for Fatima and she knew her father wanted to be at the Top of the Drug game so they began to come up with their own scheme. "Every single time we tried you were a step ahead" When they arrived in Philly Stasha got in contact with Bricks they were sure he'd come out on top and take over so that Mark West could sell the product Chris had. "Unfortunately Fatima ended that with a single shot." Once she delivered that news to her father he was beginning to lose his patience with Stasha. "He'd begin to say things like. This is why I gave you up. Or I knew I could never depend on you. You're just like yo hoe ass mama. I was determined to get his love and approval. Stasha sent a picture of Zac to her father and she can hear the words he spoke loud a clear as if he were standing in the room "By tomorrow I would have killed the father and the Son". Stasha sat up the kidnapping after the party hoping it'd be the end. Instead it was the end of her family. She and Trae thought they could take Zac out so the scheme was set and they had started to work against them.

"You one grimey bitch" Demetrius said

"And don't think I don't know you been stealing from me lil nigga. Weight been off for months. I didn't notice at first but you got sloppy." Zac stated

Demetrius started to spin out of control and started yelling before calling down he told her.

"19 years I loved yo hoe ass never once treated you like the low down butch you really are. I could've fucked plenty of bitches instead I wasted my life on you makin sure you never felt alone. But fuck you Stasha. Don't ask about my kids they gon be straight"

"You can't take my kids! They can't grow up without a mother!" She yelled

"They won't" Keisha said as she delivered to shots to Stasha's chest. Everyone stopped and stared Keisha was terrified of guns so where did she learn to shoot.

"Daddy you just out here giving lessons to everybody huh" Fatima asked. The way Keisha held the gun was a dead give away. The room laughed and Demetrius walked to the back. How was he going to explain to lil meechie and King their mother was gone.

"Damn Trae you set Jalen and Dre up" Kareem spoke

"What you mean reem?" Zac asked

"That night the MLK Boys got hit I was supposed to make the drop and pick up but Trae said he needed help with something and wanted me a Jalen to help. He really was trying to set Dre up. Jalen insisted on staying with Dre. Damn Trae we was tykes in this shit. When you get so slimey bro"

"When? It's our time these old niggas soft I'm coming for everything I-" Traes life ended by two bullets that hit at the exact same time.

"TI-MA!!!" Zac yelled seeing her smoking gun

"Mel. What the hell" Chris asked

Both Fatima and Mel grew tired of hearing him talk.

"W.e Zac i know. I'm always shooting somebody. (She mocked him). Don't care the nigga tried to kill my brother and for a stupid reason. So I don't care" Fatima said

"Yea Chris I don't care either so save the speech" Mel said walking toward to back yard to talk to Demetrius.

"Y'all are nuts come here gorgeous" Zac pulled Fatima in kissing her. Chris is on the phone calling the cleaners Dre and Marcus are discussing something in the corner.

"I'm going upstairs Zac goodnight daddy this has been a day."

Zac and Chris finish business with the cleaners before ending the night. Chris felt it best if everyone stayed the night. Before goin to bed Fatima stepped in the hallway and yelled

"If I hear any of y'all fuckin I'm setting the room on fire".....
