book and got up. “You have permission to go forward with your plan, but you have to reach every deadline for this year.” He said walking out of the room. Slapping hands with Tay they celebrated. “Don’t get me wrong you are still an ass but nice work.” Sammie said. Smiling Tay rolled her eyes. “Why are you so pressed about that situation it was years ago before I ever met you. Get over it.” Tay said. “You went out with my ex and then joked about it like it was funny.” Sammie said pushing her chair away from hers. “If I apologize would you be happy.” Tay said moving the chair back. “No because I know you don’t mean it.” She said. “You right. Get over it.” Tay said leaving the room.

Walking into Destiny’s office Sammie sat down. “So you owe me big time.” Sammie said smiling. Looking at her she didn’t know what she was talking about. “What?” she said. “Well you owe me and Tay. We convinced the HOC to let us do what we have to do.” She said. “Really they said yes.” Desi said getting up. “Yes but you know there’s a catch. We have to be consistent on the money for the year.” Sammie said. Smiling Destiny couldn’t believe it. “Yes. Whatever you want you got it.” She said. “Ok then let me drive your car.” She said smiling. “Let me rephrase that, whatever you want you got it except for my car my boyfriend and you can’t have my Jordans.” Smiling Sammie rolled her eyes. “Really you would say something like that.” She said.

Walking into the office Tay sat down. “Do you know we have a game room in this building and a hang out area.” Destiny said. “Yeah so.” Sammie and Tay said at the same time. “So why do you guys think my office is the hang out spot.” She said. “You really think you’re funny.” Sammie said. “I am just saying.” She said. “Just maybe we like hanging with you.” Tay said. “Maybe. You know you guys are addicted to me.” Destiny said joking. “Whatever the only thing that is addicted to you is Tyler.” Tay said. “True.” Sammie agreed.

“Ok Lil Justin and Lil Marcus.” Destiny said. “Why do you keep calling me that I don’t like Justin.” Tay said. “No you just like going out with other people boyfriends.” Sammie said. “How many times do I have to say this I didn’t know you when I went out with him.” Tay said. “Did I miss something.” Destiny said. “Sammie is mad at me because she didn’t know I went out with Brandon.” Tay said. “Ok so did half of the girls in this community. What is the big issue.” Destiny said. “The big issue is half of those girls aren’t my best friend.” Sammie said. “We weren’t best friends when I went out with him.” Tay said with an attitude.

“Sammie why are you mad didn’t you go out with Jackson.” Desi pointed out. “Yeah so.” Sammie said. “So! I went out with Jackson.” Tay shouted. “Ok I obviously didn’t know you.” Sammie said. “Wow so you’re mad at me because I went out with Brandon but you did the same thing.” Tay said with an attitude.

Ten minutes passed and Tay and Sammie are still arguing. “Would you two shut up. Do you even hear yourselves? We have bigger issues to conquer. You guys are mad for nothing. Now make up and meet me in the conference room.” Destiny said leaving her office.

Making up they went into the room. Looking around all of the leaders was there. Sitting in their seats Desi started talking. “Now as all of you know we are in war with Bossy Chics. Things will change around here starting with more security cameras and men in suits. I expect everybody to be aware and focus because you will never know when I am going to strike.” Destiny said turning on the plasma on the wall. Pictures of people and buildings filled the screen as Destiny continues to talk.

“These people are Brianna’s go to guys. First we will take out them one by one. The only problem is that they are surrounded by goons, so in order to take them out we need to take surveillance of them. Sammie Tay and I will do all of the surveillance. No one other than the people I call out should attack. After we have taken out these people we are going after Brianna.  The only problem is that she hangs out in these buildings and they have first class security. I will need every hacker you guys know to help me get into her system. So secretly go around the streets and start asking people for help, but be aware and smart out there. Starting today we are more than a clique we are a family. We will eat sleep and breathe thinking about this clique and how victory will taste so sweet.” Destiny said sitting down.

Getting up Sammie did her speech. “Today will be the first day of the rest of your lives. Blood sweat and tears will be spilled in this war. Blood sweat and tears already have been spilled. Look at this war not for vengeances but for justice and for a peace of mind. Without this person gone people will die and suffer. Don’t fight this war for yourselves but for everybody else. Kill one save a thousand.  Now let’s go do what we have to do.” Sammie said. “Meeting is adjourned.” Destiny said.

Driving to get Denise, Sammie and Tay were arguing again. “You guys sound like married couples. Shut up.” She said parking the car. Walking to the entrance of Denise’s house she saw that the door was opened. Grabbing her gun she walked into the house. Moving towards the bedroom she saw a body on the ground. Checking for a pulse the body was dead. Walking into the bathroom she saw her sister on the floor with two bullets in her. Seeing that one hit her on her vest and the other on her arm she checked her pulse. Denise was alive.

Chapter Eleven: Preparations

Calling Tay she told her to come in. Barging in was Tay and Sammie. “What the hell.” Sammie said looking at the body on the floor. Looking at Destiny, Tay knew what Destiny wanted to do. “Sammie we need to get her out of here and now.” Tay said. Looking into the dead guy pockets she found something. “We have a problem.” Sammie said showing them the badge. Getting up she stormed out of the house. Following her Tay tried to stop her. “Don’t do this.” Tay said. “I have to.” Destiny said. “I can’t let you do this.” Tay said walking in front of her. “Tay move.” Destiny said. “No.” she said. “I can’t let you do it.” She said. “A cop tried to kill my sister. I want to know why. Tay if you don’t move I am going to move you myself.” She said. Moving out her way she watched Destiny drive away.

Walking back to where Sammie is at she told her what Desi is going to do. “Tay why the hell did you let her go.” Sammie asked looking at the dead cop on the floor. “It’s not like I had a choice. I need your help. Denise’s car is in front I have her keys. We need to get her out of here and into the nearest safe house.” Tay said. Picking her up they place her in the car. “I hope you have a plan on getting Desi out of jail.” Sammie said.

At the safe house Denise woke up. Seeing that her wounds were bandaged she sat up. Seeing a pile of money and guns she got off of the table. Grabbing a gun she walked out of the room she was in. Seeing a person she pointed the gun at her. “Any last words.” Denise said cocking the gun. Standing up and turning to face Denise, Sammie swallowed. “Put the gun down.” Sammie said. “Who are you.” Denise said. “I am a friend of your sister please put the gun down.” She said. “Brianna was a friend of my sister and look how that turned out.” Denise said walking towards her. Screaming Tay’s name Sammie tried to keep her composure.

Walking into the room Tay saw what was going on. “Denise look at me she isn’t the enemy.” Tay said. Dropping the gun she looked around. “Where is Desi?” she asked. “If she isn’t in jail by now I don’t know.” Sammie said. “What the hell are you talking about.” Denise said. “Well the dead body we found in your house was a cop. She went to go get some information.” Tay explained. “What the hell, why aren’t you guys doing anything?” Denise questioned them. “Maybe because your sister threaten us not to help and to keep an eye on you.” Sammie said. “Don’t mind her attitude she is just mad.” Tay said seeing that Denise wasn’t felling Sammie’s attitude.

At the precinct Destiny entered. “Excuse me is there a detective Carter here.” Desi asked one of the police officer. “There is no one by the name Carter works here.” He said. “Thanks.” Destiny said. Walking out of the precinct she was confused. Walking back to her car she saw a familiar face. Running away when he saw her Destiny chased after him. Finally catching him she pulled out her gun. “What the hell are you doing?” she asked. “You know why I am here.”  He said. Putting her gun away she signaled him to follow.

“Which one sent you?” she asked. “Well it wasn’t your mother or your father.” He answered. “Then who was it how long have you been tracking me?” she questioned him as she got in her car. Getting in the passenger seat he answered her. “James.” Looking at him like he said someone famous. “How does he know?” she asked starting the car. “I mean he still does have connections in the street.” He answered. “Mark why the hell did he send you.” She asked confused. “You haven’t heard. You are looking at one of the assistants of Grinderz.” He said. “I heard but like you said James isn’t the Leader anymore.” She added. “Yeah but he still run things. He wants to speak with you.” He said.

Looking at Mark she shook her head. “If my uncle wants to speak to me then tell him I am a phone call away.” She said driving off. “You know he knows right.” Mark questioned her. “Yep I bet he does his son is the perfect snitch.” Desi said. “I am more of an informant.”  He said. “Another euphemism for snitch.” She said. “Whatever.” He said turning on the radio. Turning it off she slap him on the back of his head. “Don’t touch anything in the car especially the radio.” She said.

Driving to the safe house she saw that Denise was awoke. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Denise said spotting her. “Let me see you slap her on the back of her head.” Mark said under his breath. “I had to
