I walked into the house at midnight and went straight into the bedroom, I stripped out my shower and took a nice, long, bath in the jacuzzi. Tonight was a lot of fun, the most fun I'd had in a long time. And I should start listening to Asia and Jarron, I don't need Dave to control me. I'm my own person. I decided to turn on the television since the remote was right beside me, the flat screen that was on the wall near the bathroom door lit up and the News was on.

"There was a shooting at the popular Gentlemen's Club Sapphire around thirty minutes ago, three people were injured and two were pronounced dead. The shooters are still out there so please be safe in the New York area and if you have any information contact the police. I'm Sidney Travis, and you're watching the 12:00 News."

I was speechless, my mouth was widen and my eyes were out of its sockets. Before I could do or say anything I heard the door open and close.

"Come on yo' put this shit up b."

"Nigga where the fuck is the semi auto? That's what we needed! We would've got all them niggas g!"

I hurried and got out the tub and put my robe on, I got out of the bathroom and Dave barged in the room door. "Dave what happened?!"

"Some dumb shit." He began searching all around the room.

"Are you okay? Were you hurt? I saw the news."

He looked at me. "The news? What the fuck they say."

"That there was a shooting at the club and a couple people are dead and injured. It's not anyone of your friends right?"

He scoffed. "I'll be damned if it was." He went under the bed and hid a gun. He took off his shirt and threw it in the dirty clothes then went into his drawer looking for another.

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing about to finish what I started." He said. He grabbed a even bigger gun from out his drawer and a black tee. "Hold my shit down." He told me, "And don't open my door for nobody."

The next morning I woke up and Dave wasn't in bed, I sighed deeply and sat up looking around. I grabbed my phone and went into the kitchen to make me a bowl of cereal, I called Dave's phone and it went straight to voicemail. I made me some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and sat on the couch, turning on the news.

Still no information about the shooting that happened last night at the Gentleman's Club Sapphire, but one suspect was identified as Tarun (Tito) Jackson, his fingerprints were all over the scene. If you have any information please contact the police immediately, Sidney Travis. Back to you Joanne.

What? Tito? If Tito was involved then Dave was most definitely involved, but where were they? I turned the tv off and called again and it still went to voicemail. There was a knock at the door, I ran towards it then stopped thinking of what Dave told me last night. I looked through the peephole and seen Natalie and Kairi.

I opened the door, "Hey. What's going on?"

"Hey Morgan." She looked around. "Is Dave here?" I shook my head no and she sighed, "Todays his day to get Kairi."

"Okay I'll keep her." I told her, "Dave should be back soon."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah positive. Kairi's no trouble."

Kairi walked into the house, "Goodmorning Morgan." She whispered.

"Goodmorning, are you hungry?"

She shook her head no. "Can I watch Seaseme Street?"

"Sure the remote is right over here." I said pointing towards the couch. I looked back at Natalie, "So...when are you coming to get her? You know just in case Dave doesn't come back in time."
