The charges were official for Layla—attempted murder and the RICO act. Layla felt she was fucked. But she was baffled by the attempted murder charge. Who did she try to kill, and whoever it was, how were they still alive? If she wanted someone dead, then they would be dead. So who was still alive? She bothered her attorney with tons and tons of questions, but Fitzgerald had nothing for her yet. “I can’t go to prison! Get me the fuck outta here!” she cursed.

“They have a witness, but the identity hasn’t been made clear yet,” said Fitzgerald. “I have someone who can go underground and dig out whatever I need.”

“I don’t care what you gotta do, make it happen. Make it all go away.”

“He’s expensive.”

Layla sighed. “How much?”

“Fifty thousand,” he said.

“Nigga, I gave you a fuckin’ million on retainer, take it out of that,” she growled at him.

Reluctantly, Fitzgerald nodded, and their meeting concluded.

Layla felt that she was rotting away in a jail cell while Maxine was mocking her. She couldn’t shake the feelings of hate and disgust for the bitch. She didn’t trust Maxine. Everything started falling apart the moment she came home from prison. There were questions like, how did Maxine get an early release? Parole?

Layla felt in her bones that Maxine was the snitch. She had to be working with the feds. But what did she know that could possibly get her and Scott locked up? Was Scott running off his mouth to that bitch and jeopardizing everything they’d worked so hard for? Layla surmised that Maxine made a deal with the feds and infiltrated their organization to disclose information. It all made sense to Layla—befriending her and getting back into her good graces before stabbing her in the back would be the ultimate revenge. All the years she helped Maxine because she felt sorry for her, and it came back to bite her on the ass.

But no one was listening to her. No one believed that Maxine needed to go immediately. Layla needed someone to do what her own family wouldn’t do. Scott was a fool to fall back in love with Maxine, and Bugsy was an idiot to think she cared for him like she was his mother. Meyer was in the hospital, and Lucky was becoming detached.

It was visiting day, and Layla walked into the visitor’s room to see Lucky smiling like she’d won the lottery or something. Lucky looked fabulous and bossy, and it pissed Layla off. It felt like Lucky didn’t care that her parents were locked up, or that her mother was in a legal battle for her life.

“Bitch, why the fuck you grinning so hard for? Like you visiting me at the Ritz or something?” Layla berated after taking a seat across from her.

“It’s nice to see you too, Ma,” Lucky replied sarcastically.

Layla took in her daughter’s fashionable outfit, hair and nails done, eyebrows threaded and shaded in. “I see you’re living well.”

“I’m doin’ me.”

“Well, I need for you to take care of something really important.
