I remember bout the struggle

I remember going home to home and hiding under covers

Me and my brothers had to hustle

Never had a mom and pops but

We got through that shit together

Man I done ran through so many homies

Baby boy you don't even know me

I could tell you so many stories

Money make you feel good when you're lonely


BANKROLL INTERLUDE

Week Later

Today is the day, the day of the dinner with Rob. As I step out the shower I get dressed, I wear a long black dress with the back out and my hair in tight curls. I look in the mirror and wonder to myself if this is the right thing to do. I guess I'm already dressed so no turning back. I open the bathroom door and see King look in the mirror fixing his tie.

"here," I say and he turns around, I step to him and fix his tie,

"You look beautiful," he says to me and I smile.

"You look handsome," I tell him and kiss him. I know he is still stressed because after one of his workers got robbed last week two more dudes got robbed and one of them got killed. So now he is uneasy, he thinks someone is after him and it's not a stretch, really.

After we finish getting ready, he starts to head to the address given to us in the letter. But before we walked out the door King got a call and he walked to his office and about 3 minutes later he came out ready to go. We get in the car and he cuts the radio off. He pulls out and starts driving, I look at him as his hand clenched the steering wheel and he is so focused on the road, I look at the road and there are no cars in front of us. I look back over at him and I can tell.

"You cool," I ask him and he nods his head slightly, and I know he not.

"Kyree," I say his name and looks over at me.

"Wassup," He says nonchalantly.

"Are you ok?" I ask him, and he blows out his breath and he runs his free hand over his face.

"Yeah Joy," He says, I give up because I'm not about to go back and forth with him.

Still sitting in silence we finally reach the neighborhood the house is in. We drive slowly to find the house and we finally find it. It's a huge house, it's one of the biggest house on the street. We pull up to the gate and it has a button to press to get in or put a code in. King press the button and someone came over the speaker.

"Name," A man says with a very dry voice.

"Um King," King says and the gates open. He pulls in and drives up the driveway, outside was man directing King were to park, I look around and there are no other cars, but one. King parks and cuts off the car. I breathe in and out slowly.

"You ready," He asks me, and I nod my head.

"Yeah," I tell him and he steps out the car. I take a deep breath again and step out the car. As we walk up to the house, I see King look at me out of my peripheral vision.

"You mad" He ask, I didn't even look at him.

"Nah," I say and he grabs my waist.

"I'm sorry ok," He says in my ear.

"uh huh," I say, trying to get out his grip.

"I'll explain it all later I just want you to focus on tonight," He said and kissed my cheek. We finally make it to the door and before King could knock a women swings the door open. It was an older woman about in her 50 smiling like she knows us, but she may know us and we just don't know her.

"Joy," she says and opens her arms and pulls me into a hug.

"I'm sorry" she pulls away and laughs, "I'm Helen" She smiles.

"Helen, honey" I hear a male voice call her.

"Coming" she yells and looks back at us, "Come in," she tells us and we follow her to the dining room, once we walk into the room I see a man back faced us, and then he turns around.

"Honey," Helen says and the man turns around with a drink in his hand.

"Welcome" he smiles, it's Rob. My REAL father, supposedly.
