Empire: 5 Years Forward......

Chapter 4: To L.L, I Give You A Killer.

The Lyons didn't stay at EmpireXStream for very long. & L.L didn't wait to send a noticeable message to the Lyons. But they didn't get until later that night.

Lyon Fam Group Chat:

Lucious: Tonight is a Lyon's Black & White Masquerade Ball.

Cookie: a B&W Ball?

Jamal: I got some stuff to do later...

Lucious:Dammit,Mal. You & Hakeem are the opening act.

Jamal: I see if I can move some stuff around.

Cookie: I'll design our outfits.

Hakeem: I got a track I could perform.

Jamal: Anyone hear from Dre.

Hakeem: Nah.

Cookie: No.

Lucious: No.

Dre never answered his phone. Because, he was working on an important case for his law firm to get to the bottom of. While he was in the living room, his phone in the bedroom charging. Dre was so stressed out because this was the hardest case he ever worked.

Across town, Jamal was at a little cafe, he googled about called " Music To My Soul Café". He was sitting a table until he with a was interrupted by a text on his phone from L.L:

Got a surprise, for you & your family tonight,Mal. Something all the media will be talking about & something no one will forget. 👿L.L👿

Just as Jamal was about to order something. A male barista came over to his table & handed him a menu. He looked up to see the familiar face of the male barista. "Michael, is that you?" asked Jamal. The barista looked at Jamal, & to answer Jamal's question it was in fact his first boyfriend, Micheal.
