It was a sad day when friends became enemies, and as Zya sat on the bench in the middle of Central Park, she dreaded what she was about to do. She hated this game sometimes, when her femininity worked against her, when her feelings were involved. Over the years she had come to root for YaYa and Indie. Until now, she had never fathomed bringing harm to them. Yet here she was, in an awkward circumstance. She had to prove why she was the one who wore the crown. Being queen wasn’t always easy, and today would prove most difficult. She wished she could go back and be a regular girl, taking a stroll through the park on an ordinary day. She was so far removed from that life that she couldn’t even fully appreciate the beauty that was around her. Her head was on a swivel. Despite the fact that she had armed men discreetly positioned throughout the park, she still worried about her well-being. She was a wanted woman on these New York streets, and she could never be too careful.

When she saw Ethic approaching in the distance, she stood and got in line to purchase a ticket for the merry-go-round. She walked onto the ride and climbed up on one of the horses. Moments later he was at her side, choosing to stand on the platform of the ride.

“Thank you for coming,” Zya said as they began to spin.

“Have I ever not come when you called?” he asked. “I’m curious, though, Zya. Why am I here?”

“I take it you know about the Vartex shipment being hit?” Zya asked.

“I knew about it before it happened,” Ethic answered.

“And you couldn’t give me a heads-up?” Zya asked.

“You chose the man you wanted for the job. It wasn’t on me to cover his ass,” Ethic answered. “I-80 is my territory, but I can’t insure a nigga package that I don’t rock with.”

Zya nodded. “Fair enough, but now I need something taken care of, and I can’t trust just anyone to do it.”

“You need me to lay a nigga down?” Ethic asked. He looked around. “I counted ten men ready to rock a nigga to sleep for you just on the walk up. You have shooters. You don’t need me for this.”

“I have a mole at Einstein and Fredrickson, and she tells me that my name is coming up in Indie’s investigation. I need someone that I can trust to make this go away for me,” Zya said.

“A mole? Is this person’s word legit?” Ethic inquired.

“She’s Einstein’s executive assistant. He asked her to dig up information on me,” Zya replied.

“And you think Indie is going to give you up in exchange for leniency?” Ethic was shocked. There were a lot of things he didn’t like about Indie, but he had never pegged him as a snitch.

“Not Indie,” Zya replied. “His bitch will, though. She’s the one who went to Einstein with it,” Zya replied.

“Nah, not YaYa. She’s not built like that.”

“No, she isn’t, but his side bitch is.
