talk to him, let him know I got the information he wanted before he left.”
“What information?”
“I’ll let Dante tell you that when you talk to him.”
“Well, let me get off this phone. I’ll be to the house in a little while.”
After hanging up with Angela, Vanessa continued driving but wondered what Angela was talking about and what Dante was up to.

Finding out a little more information about Victor Fayman while trailing the guy all over Phoenix, Dante found out that he was already dealing with a little issue with some Dominican cocaine dealer who actually had Phoenix in a chokehold. That is, until Victor had shown up, stepping on the feet of the Dominican and stealing business away from him.
Dante was dressed in an all-black Sean John suit with a matching button-up dress shirt, no tie, and Sean John shoes. Dante was waiting outside next to the Ford Explorer, which was parked inside the hotel parking lot where they were staying. He turned and saw Dre and Tony T finally step out of the hotel dressed up as well.
“I ain’t feeling all this suit-wearing shit!” Dre said, as he headed towards the driver’s door, shooting Dante a look.
Climbing inside the front passenger seat, Dante looked over to Dre and said, “Relax, family. It’s just for tonight. Once we handle this clown Victor, we outta here and heading back home.”
Once Dre cranked up the Explorer and pulled out of the hotel parking lot, Dante went over the plan again with both Tony T and Dre, as they headed towards Club Royalty where Victor’s birthday party was being celebrated.
They arrived 20 minutes later to a long-as-hell line of cars, SUVs, and hooked-up trucks. Dante sat smoking a Black while staring out his window as Dre slowly made his way up the road, seeing females and groups of different guys walking up the road heading to the nightclub.
After Dre found a spot to park a short ways from the club, Dante, Dre, and Tony T walked back up towards the club. They received a few calls from the ladies in line, which they ignored, as they continued on with their business.
“I see homeboy got a lil style,” Tony T said, nodding to the two stretch Mercedes truck limos.
Dante noticed the limos but paid no attention to them, as he, Dre, and Tony T walked through the club’s front parking area. He called out to Dre and watched his boy step ahead of him, forcefully pushing open a path through the thick crowd that was blocking their way to the front door of the club. Tony T stepped ahead up to three security dudes who were blocking the doors to the club.
He spoke with the security guards while Dante stood behind and, still smoking his Black, watched Tony T hand each of the security guards some money. Tony T then nodded back at him and Dre.
They received nods from two of the guards, so Dante and Dre started moving forward to enter the nightclub. However, Dante was stopped and grabbed by the third security on the right.
“Put out the cigar before you enter the club,” the third security guard told Dante, staring hard at him.
Looking from the hand on his arm up to meet the brown eyes of the security guard, Dante calmly knocked the lit tip of the Black & Mild out of his mouth with his thumb. He looked at the security guard who then released him.
Shaking his head as he stepped through the doors of Club Royalty, Dante fell in step with both Tony T and Dre, slowly nodding his head to Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Big Sean’s song “Click” that was banging from the club’s speakers.
“Damn, baby! Who you?” a light-skinned female yelled over the music, stopping in front of Dante, blocking his path and smiling in his face.
Barely meeting the girls eyes, Dante stepped around her and continued in his direction to the bar, leaving the girl staring at him with her face balled up in both embarrassment and anger.
Making it to the bar, Dante directed his attention to the V.I.P. area easily spotting Victor Fayman as he stood with four girls
