Chapter 51: The Good Guys

"Babe this is what a baby shower is for" Josie laughed seeing the second delivery of baby items delivered to his home. Speaking of home they were going to a few open houses in New Jersey to look at homes and then another open house for a new club space for Uncle G. "Don't kill my excitement woman" Ricky said grabbing the boxes and putting them in his spare room. Shortly he came back out "Y'all ready? He asked

"Yeah... Morgan are you ready? She called

"Yeah" Morgan came out with her AirPods in and her shades on. "Girl, what's the problem? Josie asked.

"Nothing.... I'm just chillin'" she said. Josie took her shades off. "What? Morgan asked. "Okay just making sure you weren't harmed or anything," Josie said. Ricky put on his jacket "Come on little girl" he said wrapping his hands around her shoulder. Things were most definitely changing Morgan is growing up she's more moody, independent, and opinionated and it's been a challenge figuring her out. Ricky is still trying to figure out his place in her life besides being an additional provider there have been times when he wanted to remind her who she was talking to when it came to Josie.

Ricky drove down the highway enjoying the silence. Kyle was with Maya and Kasey. While Jace is with his father. He didn't have to listen to video games being played 24/7 but he knew all of that would intensify when the baby gets here.

"Do we have to move? I like it at our house" Morgan admitted.

"We're just looking at houses, we're not moving yet," Josie said.

"Yeah but ya'll move fast and before we know it we'll be in another state," Morgan said. Ricky laughed "You worry too much cutes... were just looking at pretty houses," he said

Morgan sighed mumbling under her breath

"You don't want a bigger room, I would've died for a huge mansion to live in when I was your age," Josie said

Morgan pulled her hoodie up looking out the window. "Yeah.. I guess" she said turning her music back up. Josie and Ricky looked at each other. "I feel like ever since she found out about the pregnancy she's been acting different" Josie whispered.

"Could be... I'll talk to her, I think it's time" Ricky said. "This is so stressful.. and to think I'll be going through this in what 10 years," she said lowering her voice

"Calm down baby... this shit is light work," he said rubbing her belly while the other hand was on the stirring wheel.

Cortez

Cortez and Kasey broke into what looked like a new home in Miami. "Ain't no way" Cortez shook his head as he walked in. Kasey snatched the camera from above the door he threw it on the floor crushing it with his foot. He walked in securing his face mask. He followed Cortez toward the kitchen area both of them could hear the music as they went closer. "Go towards that window and peek" Tez ordered. Kasey peeked through the window to see a couple smoking and dancing. "Yeah that's him and his girl" Kasey said

"Shit," Cortez said. He hated when women were in the midst of these matters but it was now or never. "We rich baby.... we rich"

Cortez slightly slid the patio door. The both of them walked out. The woman instantly screamed and Kasey shot her in the arm. The guy didn't even turn around he knew his fate.

"Please don't kill me.. I won't tell... I promise" she begged for mercy.

"What did you see? He asked her. She didn't say anything she laid on the floor in a fetal position. "Markel Markel I thought you were better than this clearly I was mistaken" he pulled the trigger blowing the back of his head. The woman cried in agony as the blood splattered onto her. The both of them stared at her one good time before leaving
