The Glamorous Life 2 (26 page)

He ignored her question, and got straight to the point. “The same way Rusty used you. I need you to provide that same service to me.”

She was surprised. “What? I don’t do that anymore.”

“You want to see your son alive again, don’t you? And especially if you want him to be Junior and not Genie, then you will make your services available to me.”

“What?” She sucked her teeth and said in the nastiest disposition she could without offending him.

“You will bring your baby father out of hiding and then we will take care of him.”

“Hell, if I knew where he was at—”

He cut her off with a chuckle. “You are one crafty bitch. But you will do what you have to do to take care of that boy of yours … the same way you did to take care of your brother. Right?”

The mere mention of Compton by Mikile pissed her off. But she nodded and tried to stay focused on the only thing that really mattered, the kids.

“What about the little girl?”

Mikile looked confused. “Little girl?” he questioned. “We don’t have no girl, only da boy.”

Where the hell was Nya? Who in the hell had her? And what the hell were they going to do to get up the cash they needed? How in the hell would she get Lynx out of hiding? Shit just got so real in the realest way! The one thing they knew was to never underestimate a mother’s love, a woman’s scorn, and three bad bitches and Girl Power!
