DAMITRI

"Aye, Meech!" Dorian called from the other side of the door. There was no response so he walked in. Damitri was laid out on his bed knocked out.

"Get up, nigga." He said while kicking the bed.

"Man, what you want?" Damitri answered with sleep still in his voice.

"Where Tasia?" Dorian asked sitting on the edge of the bed.

"She left this mornin', man why?" Damitri was now sitting up reaching over to check his phone.

"Did you forget why she was over here in the first place?" He questioned."You get the information we needed?"

He was referring to the name of whoever was selling bad drugs in the area. People were still not buying from them which was a problem.

"Naw man. But I'm posed to see her later so I'll talk to her then." Damitri stated.

"Aight, we need to find that fool ASAP. And get rid of our lil problem." Dorian stated.

He left the room and closed the door behind him. Damitri started to doze off again when his phone vibrated the whole bed. He groaned shortly before picking up his phone to look at his notifications.

Tasia: I had fun last night 😉. Seeya later.

Me too. & cool.

Damitri tossed his phone and shook his head. He got up and got dressed. He needed a haircut so he was headed to the barber shop.

"Where you goin'?" Dorian asked when Damitri reached the kitchen.

"Barber shop." He simply answered.

"I wanna ride." Dorian said jogging back up the stairs.

"Aight nigga, hurry up." Damitri called.

The barbershop wasn't far from the house so they pulled up about five minutes later.

"Wassup, Meech." The owner said dapping him up. "You trynna get cut?"

"Yeah, just real quick." Damitri responded.

When his haircut was finished, Tasia walked in with a friend. She walked right over to Damitri who was too busy checking himself out in the mirror.

"Hey." She said softly.

"Sup, girl." He replied.

"This my girl, Leah." She said trying to introduce the two, but she was already up under Dorian. Tasia shook her head.

"You ready to go?" She asked him.

"Yeah." He responded dusting off his pants.

They got up and headed for the door. Leah stayed with Dorian.

ARNELL

Arnell jogged downstairs to see August and Anthony eating breakfast without her.

She smacked her lips. "Why nobody wake me up?"
