few manila envelopes on the glass desk and closed his case.
    “Who’s Caleb?” Tyrin asked as he glared down at the envelopes that were placed between the two of them.
    Darion focused his eyes directly on Tyrin’s and without hesitation or any type of emotional restraint he blurted out two words that would forever change the basis of their meeting, “Your son.”
    Tyrins’ mouth dropped open like he had been punched in the stomach. Had he just heard this complete stranger tell him he had a son? He leaned into Darion to make sure that he was hearing correctly and calmly asked, “What did you just say?”
    Darion looked at this stranger and realized how much Caleb resembled him. He observed his characteristics and demeanor and could now better understand the behaviors of his nephew. As Tyrin sat across from him stupefied by the news, he wanted to chuckle but knew that now was not a good time.
    “Caleb is your son. Deja gave birth to him on December 14, 1992. He is eight years old and I can now say that he looks exactly like his father.” He said coolly. Tyrin leaned back in his chair rubbing his head, trying to think of a way to retaliate to the news he just heard. “Hold up, let me get this straight. Are you telling me that I have an eight year old son?”
    “Would you like to see his picture?” Darion smoothly asked as he reached for one of the envelopes.
    “Hell yes!” Tyrin’s heart rate had accelerated and beads of sweat were starting to form at his temples. This has to be some kind of joke, why would they wait eight years to tell him he had a son? She’s dead, and her brother must be here to drop the kid off, or better yet he wanted to collect on an unpaid child support balance. It was all a scam, Deja is really alive and trying to get backat him for breaking up with her, so she waited until his net worth was well over a million dollars before she made her move.
    Darion opened the envelope and displayed picture of a little boy that could have easily been a model for Gap kids. He glanced at the pictures of the chocolate brown child with deep dimples and beautiful smile, and at that moment knew Darion wasn’t lying. He let out a deep breath, stood up, and turned toward the window. He was hoping that the sights of the street would allow him to get his thoughts together, but all they really did was further add to the confusion.
    “I know that this is all a shock to you. But I’m here for yet a far more important reason.” Darion said. Tyrin turned around at looked at Darion, then at the photos of Caleb, and finally at the black and white picture of himself and Khalil. He closed his eyes and nervously said aloud, “Oh God, there’s more?”

    Khalil and the crew rode the boat to Alcatraz Island and did a little touring of the facility before meeting with the performers to start work. His primary concern was that his staff did an outstanding job, because this was a major video shoot for a group that he felt had the potential to be major. He knew his crew could handle it but sometimes they got a little antsy and wanted to get in, get out and get loose; especially Kerrion who could not wait to get to Oakland to get his party on.
    Khalil and his team were busy setting up their stations in a corner of the prison, while the camera and lighting crews began to prepare for the first day of shooting.“Hey you guys.” The group Siren said, as they waved and smiled at their stylists. “Hello, ladies.” They all replied.
    “Thank you so much Khalil. You are a definite lifesaver.” Sacha, the lead singer of the group said, as she walked over to Khalil and gave him a huge hug. “No problem. Make sure you remember this just in case I ever need a favor from you.” he joked. The 18-year-old songstress giggled and agreed, as she made her rounds to the rest of the crew. The eight of them laughed and got re-acquainted for a moment before Khalil stepped in and informed them that it was time to get started. Two of
