Yasmine opened her eyes as she stared at Dani who was tied up next to her. As she rotated her wrist which were tightly bond by rope. Her eyes were puffy due to Dani clearly crying. She was pregnant and that brought fear inside of her. How was she to escape or help Dani? This chick was just all up in the news about a abortion. Clearing her throat she smiled at Dani trying to ease the tension they both felt. If Jackson didn’t come through with those drugs what in the hell were they going to do? Yasmine knew for sure this lady wasn’t or a baby die. She also felt Kendrick wouldn’t either. As she bit down on her lip. “Glad to see you got a little rest.” Yasmine said softly.

“Look I know Kendrick and he’s not this monster Dani. He’s wolfing you know what that means? Like the little boy who cried wolf. Look I’m not trying to justify what he’s done but he’s not a monster. My mother was hooked on drugs when I was younger. She did anything she could get her hands on and smoked up my going back to school money. Man I didn’t have a pair of shoes this man took me shopping at Reginald’s. He wasn’t always like this. He wasn’t a monster because he loved me and my family. My pride did it, I jumped into this world and he has had to act accordingly to me. Do I think he’s foolish for doing some of the things he’s done to me. Absolutely, I do because he’s let the monster inside eating at him.”

Dani looked at Yasmine when she started talking to her the only thing she knew about the girl in front of her was that she dealt drugs to Jackson and was with Rory. Her mind was barely on that it was on trying to keep calm in between all the tears she had cried since this morning, all the fear she felt. Fear that was seated deep inside of her bones at what Jackson was putting her through, putting their unborn child through and for what? That was the most confusing part, what was he possibly hoping to gain by doing any of this? Her hands hurt from being tied behind her back, her head was still pounding from Kendrick hitting her there with his gun earlier. Looking through the cracked doorway at the men outside she wanted to laugh at Yasmine, there was no honor there in that room.

“Not a monster? He broke into my house, held a gun to my head, choked me until one of his goons pulled him off me and then took me from my house. He doesn’t give two fucks about me or my child, you know that and I know that. He’s one of the most wanted criminals in the state murder being something they’ve been trying to get him for for years. I don’t care how much of a family you think he is to you or your mother.” Dani bit out feeling the tears prick her eyes. She’d been in the business long enough to know that the Madden organization was something the governor and local law enforcement had been after for years. Kendrick’s name being the top of their list she shook her head at Yasmine. “You involved Jackson in this why? Pissed he wasn’t scoring from you anymore? That you didn’t get to pull one over on Rory anymore either about it?”
