motherfucker. Immediately Tone saw Big Phil’s eyes land on Serena.
    Big Phil stopped dead in his tracks and shook his head. “Now that’s what you call a ass,” he said, craning his neck to get a better look at Serena’s ass.
    Tone stepped toward Big Phil. “Fuck you just say?” Tone wasn’t mad about what Big Phil said, he was mad ’cause he felt that Big Phil was trying to disrespect him in front of a crowd.
    â€œFuck is you getting all hot for? I was just giving your joint a compliment,” Big Phil said. “But if you wanna get ignorant, that ain’t no problem either.” He lifted his shirt and exposed the butt of his gun.
    Immediately Serena jumped in front of Tone. “Let’s go, baby. He ain’t worth it. I’m not gonna let you go to jail over this loser,” she said as she escorted him through the parking lot.
    â€œYeah, that’s what I thought,” Big Phil said loud enough so Tone and Serena could hear him. “You better listen to your bitch and get outta here before you get hurt.”
    Tone reached his whip and quickly grabbed his .40-cal from underneath the seat.
    Before he could turn around, Serena was right in front of him. “Let it go, please,” she pleaded. “It’s not worth it.”
    Tone sighed loudly as he slid behind the wheel. Once Serena hopped in the passenger seat, he quickly pulled off. If Serena wasn’t with him, he would’ve gone back and blown Big Phil’s head off for trying to play him like that, but for the moment he had to suck it up and let it go. He knew he would definitely run into Big Phil again, and it would be more than words being exchanged.

Chapter 5
    Tone pulled up in front of his father’s house and threw the Range in park. He was still mad at Big Phil trying to stunt on him back there, all the things that he really wanted to do to the man running through his mind all at the same time.
    â€œI’ll be back in a second,” he said to Serena as he slid out the Range. He walked up to his father’s house and knocked lightly.
    Detective Abraham snatched the door open, a frown on his face.
    â€œWhat happen?” Tone asked as soon as he stepped in the kitchen and saw Maine laid up with his leg all wrapped up.
    â€œTough guy over here decided he wanted to go out and look for Gruff,” Detective Abraham volunteered, shaking his head.
    â€œHe gon’ have to answer for this,” Maine said.
    Detective Abraham told him, “The plan was for you to handle business while Tone was absent for a while, not start an unnecessary war.”
    â€œHe already took money out of our pockets once.” Maine placed his gaze on Detective Abraham. “And I’ll be damned if I let it happen again.”
    â€œTake care of business first!” Detective Abraham yelled. “Once business is taken care of, I could care less what you do.”
    â€œI got shorty outside,” Tone cut in. “Can I come holla at y’all tomorrow?”
    â€œShe outside right now?” Detective Abraham asked, a wicked smirk on his face.
    â€œYeah, she sitting in the car.”
    â€œDid you get the connect yet?”
    â€œStop being so thirsty.” Tone waved his pops off. “I’ma get it.”
    Detective Abraham pointed a finger at his son. “Don’t be falling in love with this bitch. Don’t forget this is business.”
    â€œI got this, old man,” Tone said, ending the conversation at that.
    Tone slid back behind the wheel of the Range Rover. “I want you to spend a night with me,” he said, looking at Serena for a response.
    â€œLet’s go.”
    â€œThat was easy.” Tone smiled as he pulled off, headed to his other condo out in Jersey.

    Tone pulled into his parking spot and let the engine die.
    â€œThis is it,” he said as the two entered the condo. “Make yourself at home.”
