SCOTTSWOOD APARTMENTS

Ronan made his way through the streets of Atlas Falls he had men watching Yasmine and once he had been called that she was at her old place in the Scottswood area he made his move. There was no security that his men could see and he wondered how careless Rory could actually be but that was not his business. She stepped out of his car and one of his men accompanied him inside, people still moved out of his way as the walked up the steps. There may of been a riot happening on but he still commanded the respect he was owned on the streets. He walked up the stairs seeing a young girl about maybe seventeen throw herself at them. He let his man indulge as he came to Yasmine’s door on her apartment knocking. He waited a few moments until she opened the door and he looked at her moving his coat to the side to show her he wasn’t armed.

“We need to talk Yasmine please let me inside. I’m not armed.” Ronan said watching her eyes carefully study him as he looked at the packed boxes inside the apartment. She was smart to finally get out, she’d always been smart and he admired that about her. She was also gorgeous and pretty when naked on a pole and he shook his head he had no right to remember that or think about it. “There will be people asking questions now that Kendrick is gone, people that will and can do my business harm. You have my word Yasmine I’m not here to hurt you.” When she reluctantly let him in he stepped inside seeing how the other half lived. Paint was peeling on the walls, he was pretty sure some of the place was unsanitary. “I want you to know I never gave authority for Kendrick’s power spree he went on that includes what he almost let those men do to you at the club.”

Yasmine had come to her apartment to get a few things left here. Gina’s blanket and a box of childhood memories. After talking do Ms. Dinah she thought she could just get her shit and move on. Somehow the hood always has a grip on you no matter how far you get. When she opened the door her instincts was run to the kitchen and grab a butcher knife. He wasn’t armed though but shit could go left real quick. Ronan temper was legendary and he was coming calm but with anyone there was a calm before the storm. She’d shed enough tears to fill a ocean and no more tears. She was coming hard because she wasn’t a bitch. She wasn’t a stripper anymore and she wasn’t his employee. Most of all she wasn’t dumb. This was her goodbye to Scottswood in many ways. She’s from the hood but not of the hood.

“Those men were employed by you prior to Kendrick power spree. Whatever you here to spook me and make me say I don’t know shit about you. I already did that in my victim statement. I implemented Kendrick and I know Jamal did the same. I’m not rocking the boat I know my head is still on my shoulders because of your generosity and I’m not snitching so what else? What you want Ronan? I’m silent because it isn’t complicated to live I need to be silent. So what I know about Ronan nothing is that what you need to hear?” Yasmine with fire in her eyes. “I heard that bougie girl and you broke up. Rory said he’s going to see her today and that she is fucked up. You cold in and out of business huh Ronan.” She said moving her hair as she sat down. Sitting down at the kitchen small island and barstool. “So I’m sure we done here right?” She asked staring at that box. A box full of Gina and memories why was she so lost in her thoughts of her sister lately. Licking her lips she thought about Gina and Kendrick together finally. They weren’t right without each other but God let in Kendrick to be with her. Hell he was fight right now to get to her if they weren’t together. Before she knew it her eyes teared up. Wiping the corners she looked up at the handsome mobster. “Is that all?”
