"I'll call daddy and we'll sort all of this out. I promise," (22)

Start from the beginning
                                        

The man sprinted down the empty street and made a right. As soon as Amira came around the bend, she saw that this street was packed with people and cars. She went on her tip toes and looked over the crowd to try and spot the man... and sure enough, there he was bobbing and weaving through different people. She immediately tried to follow him; hitting and pushing the same people as he did while saying 'sorry' and 'excuse me'.

She couldn't see him anymore and started to lose momentum... but just as she was about to stop, Kai held her hand and pulled her along with him through the busy sidewalk.

"Can you see him?"

"He's just up there," Kai replied, still pulling her along. He looked over the heads of the people and saw the man take another right turn. Kai cursed under his breath and started to move faster.

If he lost the target then they'd never be able to track him again. This restaurant was a lucky guess and this moment was his only one.

As they got to the corner, Kai made a sharp right and was surprised to see a black car waiting at the dead end road.

Wasn't that PJ's car?

He stopped running and looked around for the target but he wasn't there. Just then, the driver's door opened and he called for them to come forward. Kai didn't like it one bit but he had decided to trust Amira's trust in PJ.

Walking up to the car, Kai saw PJ in the back seat with a gun in his hand.

"Uh, what's going on?"

"I believe we've caught what you were chasing," PJ told them while nodding to the trunk.

The driver walked around them and opened the trunk to reveal their target laying there unconscious.

"Oh my God," Amira's voice made it clear to Kai that he needed to be more cautious with PJ and his men. They were indeed dangerous people.

"Get in the car and we can all go have a chat, yeah?" The driver opened the back door for them to get in.

"How did you...?" She began to ask while looking at PJ.

"Don't freak out but I followed you. Call it a precaution on my end. Now are you going to get in?"

Kai looked around to Amira and she nodded. Just like that... they were driving towards PJ's club.

"What do you think about this dress?" Brynne asked while turning her phone towards Micah.

He sat at his desk looking through papers. "Everything looks on you, baby,"

"You're just saying that. Come on, just look," she got up from the couch and walked over to him.

"I'll take a look later, ok? Right now, these papers are confusing the hell out of me,"

"What's wrong?"

"Well, for starters, the most recent financial company that was obtained by us was doing quite well on the stock market... what I don't understand is the sharing of the stocks." He explained while flipping through more papers.
