Chapter Eight

Kendra swung by Dixyn’s house to pick her up for the bachelor party. Dixyn preferred that they ride together rather than meeting her there. She wanted everything to go as smoothly as possible. Kendra had a reputation for being notoriously late, but tonight she was right on time. As she pulled into Dixyn’s drive, she glanced at her watch to be sure. It read 9 p.m.

“Damn, where fuck is this bitch at?” she cursed aloud to herself, then reached into her cup holder and grabbed her cell phone. She pressed a button and the phone rang a few times before Dixyn answered.

“Where are you, Dix? We on a tight schedule here. You need to get to the front door ASAP.”

“I’m comin’ down now.”

Dixyn eyed the row of stilettos shoes lined up neatly against the wall of her walk-in closet. She had acquired several pairs of “fuck-me heels,” as Kendra referred to them, over the past few months. But tonight she couldn’t make up her mind which shoes to pack. She contemplated whether to keep it simple with a pair of sexy black six-inch heels or to go with her personal favorite, the hot-pink ones with the highest arch. With Kendra waiting impatiently, she went with her initial instinct, grabbing the black pair and putting them in her bag.

“What’s good, Ken?” Dixyn asked as she slipped inside the car.

“You!” Kendra snapped. “I told you to be ready when I got here. I get here and you’re nowhere to be found.”

“C’mon, you of all people should know women take a long time to get their shit together. My bad, it wasn’t like I was purposely trying to be late.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Kendra replied. “Never mind me. I just wanna make sure we get there on time to get all this money.” Shaking off her annoyance, she backed out of the driveway and concentrated on the road. She wanted to get to Crystal City, Virginia, as quickly as possible. As Kendra merged onto the highway, she finally felt relaxed enough to strike up a conversation.

“Guess what?”

“What?”

Kendra began, “You not goin’ to believe this. A couple hours afta you left the club the police raided that joint.”

“You lyin’?”

“Girl, I wish. I was there when it happened. Like a hundred cops, sheriffs, and state troopers busted up in there. Muthafuckas started emptyin’ they pockets, throwin’ drugs and other illegal shit on the fuckin’ floor, stashin’ shit in the seats. It was crazy.”

“Wwwwhhhhhaaaaaat? I’m glad I left when I did.”

“That’s not all. Guess what else happened?”

“What?” Dixyn replied.

“They arrested Notti,” Kendra said. “They walked his ass upstairs to his office.”

“What they arrest him for? What did he do?”

“I heard it was for some drugs they found up in his office. All I know is I saw them escort his fat ass upstairs, then a few minutes later they bought him back down in cuffs.”

“Wow!” Dixyn gasped. Her mind flashed back to the heated conversation she’d overheard between Notti and B-Dub. His harsh words toward Notti hadn’t been empty threats.
