"Dre? Last I heard, he moved to Philly 'cause shit wasn't working for him here."
"I know who I killed on that fucking boat. We gotta tell Honor."
"Telling Honor won't do shit but have him trying to leave the hospital. I spoke to Navy. She said Honor coded on the operating table. He's gotta rest up. We've been telling him to let us handle shit, so now's the time for us to step up."
"You're right." I nodded. "Call Chosyn and find out if they're still at River's."
Wolfe reached into his pocket, and as he was pulling out his phone, his shit started ringing.
"Wassup beautiful, I was just about to hit you," he answered, then paused before saying, "You're on speaker."
"Crown."
"Chosyn," I mimicked her dry tone.
"Can we not be petty right now, please?"
"Shit, you tell me. Why did you call Wolfe's phone if you wanna speak to me?"
"River is mad at you, and honestly, so am I."
"I told you to stay neutral in that shit," Wolfe told her.
"Nah, it's cool, Wolfe. Let Chosyn pick the side of her fucked-up friend. I bet she knew about that shrine to that nigga this whole time."
"My heart," Wolfe called her sternly.
"Yes, Wolfie," she cooed, trying to play my nigga.
"You knew about that shit with Four?"
"Yes, but she's my friend, and it wasn't my?—"
"That's fucked up, Chosyn, but I'm not mad. Just remember that shit the next time I bring Wolfe to the strip club with me."
"Go ahead and watch my girls and me snatch that bitch up." Chosyn laughed eerily.
"Chill, Chosyn," Wolfe spoke.
"Fine, but Crown, I didn't mean it like?—"
"Nah, stand on that shit 'cause I didn't do shit to your friend," I told her.
"I know you didn't. However, leaving her on the rooftop in the midst of a panic attack was fucked up."
"Honor owns the hotel. Nothing was going to happen to her. What's fucked up is me not getting a slice of cake. I know it was good 'cause it looked just like Four's glasses."
"This nigga." Wolfe laughed.
"I froze some for you. River did say she appreciated you having the car brought to her place."
"Is that why you called? To tell me Four appreciated some shit. She could've hit me with a text 'bout that."
"Would you have responded if she did?" Chosyn quipped, then smacked her lips when I didn't answer. "Exactly! But you can talk to her about it when you pick her up."
"Wolfe is coming to scoop y'all. Four's gotta stay at y'all's crib for a minute."
"Stay at our place for... matter of fact, it doesn't matter. River hurt you, I get it, but I need you to put that aside and remember why you love her."
