Jordan is currently at Mahogany's house.

"They opened the case back up?", Mahogany asked.

"Yea and Tyquez is kinda pissed about it", Tyquez said. "He didn't say he was but I know he is"

"I won't be too if somebody tried to kill me. But if they opened the case back up then it must be a problem", Mahogany said. "Something had to be flawed about the case"

"Look, I don't know. I wasn't there", Jordan said.

"Well...I hope they put him back in jail", Mahogany said.

"Mahogany don't say that", Jordan said.

"I'm just saying. He almost killed that man. That ain't right", Mahogany said.

"Yea", Jordan said with a sigh.

"Come on now, Ty is your boyfriend. He should come first vs Hakeem. You should be on Tyquez's side", Mahogany said.

"I am", Jordan said. "What Hakeem did was wrong. I totally agree but I just don't understand how they said attempted murder with no evidence of that. I mean like Tyquez didn't have a scratch on him. I get if they said something different. Something that would give him less time but—"

"Girl, your boyfriend is rich. He has money. Meaning he has a good ass lawyer", Mahogany said.

"Still no evidence", Jordan said. "The camera showed him shooting the glass, yes. But that could've been at anyone who was around"

"Girl look, either other way he was trying to kill or hurt Tyquez. It doesn't matter about evidence. He got the sentence he deserved", Mahogany said.

"I didn't say he didn't", Jordan replied.

"Well what did Tyquez say the reason for the appeal was?" Mahogany asked.

"He didn't say and I didn't ask. I don't wanna be in the middle of that", Jordan said. "I actually wanna just change the subject"

Mahogany picked up a notebook.

"How is Tyquez doing about his dad?", Mahogany asked.

"Better", Jordan replied. "I um...I kinda feel like I'm bad luck or something"

"It is crazy how both your husband and boyfriend lost a parent. But it's not a coincidence. It's life", Mahogany said. "Not your fault"

"I guess". Jordan stood up and walked to the kitchen.

10:00pm

Jordan walked into Tyquez house.

"You better be lucky I didn't fall asleep yet because I was—"

As soon as Jordan faced Tyquez, Tyquez picked her up.

Jordan scream a little. But he was a happy scream. She wrapped her legs around his waist and looked at him as he spoke.

"Where you been?", he asked.
