Hakim continued to mug as he watched everyone pack up their things. He walked over to where the cops were holding Kelly and mugged even harder. Somehow he managed to get around one of the cops and punched Kelly right in his nose, instantly knocking him out cold. "That's for my baby bitch."
"Hakim, walk away!" One of the cops sternly snapped. They all understood his frustration, but they didn't feel like arresting him for assault. Just like Kofi, they knew that Kelly wasn't going to last a good forty-eight hours.
Hakim chuckled, watching as the paramedics tried to bring Kelly back to consciousness. He really wished he could do more, but he couldn't or he'd be behind bars. He knew that the DA would bring up everything to make him look bad which would could land him in prison for years.
"Nigga go home to your women, we'll make sure everything straight here." Kofi stated. "Make sure my sister straight, that nigga will be dead in the next twenty-four hours I promise." He nodded.
"Preciate it." Hakim mumbled. When Yara first saw Kelly her whole body froze. She never thought that she would have to see his face again. She didn't know why he would show his face to begin with. Yara prayed that she never had to see his face again. She was finally healing, and just seeing him tonight opened up her wounds.

"Where she at?" Hakim asked, sitting down in one of his recliners. He had finally made it back home to the girls with Geno. Kofi decided to stay behind to stay back to make sure everything was cleaned up from the block party.
"Literally just got her to go to sleep." Treasure replied. When they first made it back to the house Yara had panic attacks back to back. She was scared out of her mind. All she wanted was Hakim, the person who made her feel the safest.
"You handled it?" Niara asked.
"Not how I wanted to, cops showed up." He mumbled. "Y'all trying to go on a trip? We all could use that shit bad as fuck right now."
"Say less." Lyric instantly replied. "I'll plan everything, just let me know what dates y'all tryna go." She added. Lyric was always down for a trip. She loved to travel and experience different things.
"Shit, I'm trying to leave next week type shit." Hakim stated. "We gotta be back in time for Yara to cook for her bookings tho. I really want to go ahead and buy her that food truck. What y'all think?"
"Eh I don't know bubby. She's working really hard to get it on her own." Niara responded. Niara knew how much Yara wanted her own food truck. She also knew how much Yara expressed that she wanted to do it all on her own.
"Yeah, but I wanna help at least?" Hakim asked more than stated. He also knew how much Yara wanted to get it by herself, but he wanted to help. He loved spoiling the women in his life. He felt like he should be gifting Yara the food truck after everything she went through.
"I say talk to her about it. She may allow you to help, but I understand that she wants to reach this milestone on her own. We all know that baby has been on her own for years getting it out the mud. She's been used to trying to provide for herself that it's hard for her to even ask for help." Treasure butted in.
"Yeah you right. She hates asking for help." Niara added.
"I just feel like she needs a break, that's why I want this trip to happen. I just wanna see her smiling non-stop. I'm tired of seeing her crying deadass." Hakim admitted.
"Right." Everyone replied in agreeance.
"So Ni and Lyric, let me tell y'all how Maia came to my job and kissed me." Treasure said, making both of them snap their heads in her direction. Treasure was still unaware of the talk that the two had with Maia.
