Next week at 5:00 pm

Marco walks out of the jailhouse feeling relief but stressing about Raven.  He haven't spoken to her in two weeks.  He was hurting about it.  He waited for Steven to come through the doors

Kam and Quan pull up looking at each other. 

"Nigga I don't know if I should tell him or not," Kam said

"Raven said don't say nothing.  Just keep it cool for now" Quan said as they got out going up to Marco shaking up with him.

"Damn niggas" Marco said smiling

"Sup bro," Kam said shaking up and giving him a side hug. 

"Glad to be out"? Marco said

Steven walks out holding out his arms.  "YO! " he yells smiling.  He walks shaking up with all of them. 

"Man let's get the fuck away from here," Steven said getting in the car

"How y'all been holding shit down? " Marco asked

"Shit been sweet.  Money has been flowing.  More customers more money"

"I know that shit better add up"

Quan laughs "Nigga our money always adds up the same"

Kam lit up a blunt still thinking about what happened to Raven.  He wanted to tell Marco so badly but couldn't.

"You good nigga? " Marco asked

"Yeah.  Just a lot of shit on my mind" Kam said

"Pass the blunt," Steven said grabbing it from Kam.

"How Raven and them been holding up? " Steven asked

"Shit I think they making more money than us," Quan said laughing

"Aye stop there first," Marco said

"You sure? "

"Just stop there first. "

Quan looks at Kam.

They pulled up to the lady's house seeing a few cars there. 

"They all got new cars? " Steven asked

"Yeah.  Raven ain't here" Quan said

Marco gets out his phone calling Raven "Man I need a new fucking phone" he said to himself. 

They get out and go inside. Eve ran up to Steven hugging and kissing him.  "missed you so much"

"Missed you"

"Where Raven? " Marco asked

Naomi comes out kissing Kam. "She's at work"

Marco ain't say nothing just look around at the new place.  "This nice," he said

Kam,  Quan,  Danny,  Eve, and Naomi were acting so weird cause of what happened to Raven.  Little did he know she had changed. 

8 pm

Raven pulls up at home seeing Quan's car there. She gets out using her key to unlock the door.  She walks I see if Steven.

"YO SIS" Steven yells coming up to hug her. 

"Hey," She said so dry hugging him. 

He looks at her seeing something changed "You good,? "

"Fine," she said taking off her shoes and going into the kitchen.

Steven walks back into the living room looking at Eve.  "What's?..

Quan shakes his head sitting down and hitting the blunt.  Marco gets up from the couch seeing her walk straight past him

"So you just gone walk passed me?" he said seeing her go into the fridge

Raven ain't say nothing

"Raven! " He said still seeing her not saying anything.

Marco grabs her arm. 

"Don't FUCKING GRAB ME! " Raven said storming off. 

Marco looks at her running up the steps.  "What's wrong with her? " He asked looking at Eve, Naomi Danny,  Then Quan, and Kam

They ain't say nothing. 

"So nobody don't hear us? " Steven said

"Look, bro.  I can't say and neither can we" Quan said

"SAY WHAT? " Marco asked storming off upstairs

"What the fuck happened? " Steven asked  "Somebody better speak for I go off in this bitch"

"Can we talk? " Naomi asked

Steven looks at Naomi whos looks worried.  They walked to her room shutting the door.  Naomi sits down in her chair as Steven stands.  Naomi starts to cry. 

"Naomi, what's wrong bro? "

"She was raped," Naomi said

The range that went over Steven's body.  He stormed out of the room upstairs Raven's room.  He busts open the door seeing Marco still trying to talk to her. 

"RAVEN WHO THE FUCK DID THAT TO YOU? " Steven said getting in her face.

"Did what? " Marco asked

Raven stops and looks at Steven.  Then turned back around folding up her clothes. 

"RAVEN WHO THE FUCK RAPED YOU"

"WHAT? " Marco said Yelling.  He grabs Raven's arm turning her toward him.  "LOOK AT ME! " Marco said

Raven starts to cry.  Marco can see the pain in her eyes.  "Baby tell me," He said starting to shed a tear too.  His heart dropped seeing her like that

Raven slaps her hands to her side falling into his chest.  Steven walks out back downstairs.  Marco hugged her tight as she cried.  He starts to cry with range in his body.  "FUCK MAN! " Marco said seeing Raven cry harder and harder. 

"Baby tell me.  I'll go kill this nigga RIGHT NOW" Marco said in her ear.

"LLODY!"

Marco thought about who it was.  "DUDE FROM THE DINER?  THE SAME NIGGA WHO GAVE YOU 500 DOLLARS IN TIPS" He said grabbing her shoulder and making her look up at him.  "RAVEN!  WHAT THE FUCK WAS YOU EVEN DOING WITH HIM?.  YOU KNOW WHAT" he said moving Raven out of the way and storming downstairs.

"Marco no," Raven said going after him. 

Marco comes downstairs "Let's go" He said

"Marco! " Raven said still crying.  He walks up to her grabbing her chin.  "After I'm done with this nigga ill be back" he said letting her chin go walking outside.
