Abella stares at her phone reading the headline over and over again...

Professional boxer, Terrence "Trouble" Reynolds charged as the mastermind to the shooting involving the Charlo Brothers, Errol Spence Jr., Béla, Meg Thee Stallion, & more back in March.

The article goes on to detail how Trouble orchestrated the hit on their sprinter van in March after the physical altercation between him and Jermell. Police couldn't prove his younger brother, Toran, had anything to do with it as well so he was let off the hook. They were lucky no one was hit and seriously injured or the consequences would be bigger. After months he's finally being charged with something.

Abella's relieved. Although she knows this isn't over with his brother Toran still being free. It could be settled one of two ways: Inside or outside the ring.

This is what happens when you're dealing with men who have egos and are also from the hood. Terrence and Toran are from Atlanta, Georgia and have a criminal past and ties to a gang. They may have entered the hurt business to get out of the hood and for money, but they didn't leave it too far behind. They still wanted to handle situations how they used to... With guns when fists aren't enough.

She only wants to know when boxers stopped using their hands and even mouths choosing to get guns instead. Some boxers have no boundaries. They take everything personal. They'll talk about your kids, wife, and family. They'll take things beyond those ropes. They'll grab guns...

Abella exits out of the article sitting her phone on the nightstand of her publicist's guest bedroom continuing to get ready for tonight. Right next to her phone are the backstage passes for tonight's fight to Anthony Joshua versus Andy Ruiz Jr. in Manhattan at the Madison Square Garden.

She looks at her watch wondering why Errol nor Jermall and Jermell have gotten in contact with her when she's supposed to be going to the fight with them. They should've landed a long time ago.

Abella walks out of the guest bedroom back to the living room where both her publicist Tamara and Megan are watching tv. "Have you heard from EJ or the twins?" She asks Meg.

"Nope," She says while simultaneously shaking her head.

Abella decides to FaceTime Errol. When he answers she squints her eyes seeing airport signs in the background behind his head. "Where are you and the twins?"

"We missed our flight," Errol drags out scratching the back of his neck.

"What the hell do you mean you missed your flight? You can't get another one?" She asks looking at the watch on her wrist. She shakes her head knowing even if they do they won't make it.
