HOW IT HAPPENED...

The bullet grazed Detroit, but a few weren’t so lucky. Elliot was just opening the shop, when he was held up right at the door...Detroit was already inside when this happened. He heard some commotion and ran out to see what it was, instantly, he had his gun to his side and already drawing it. When he saw that he was outnumbered, he regretted not being on top of his game as he placed his gun on the ground. They held him, Elliot, Kace, at gunpoint. They damaged everything. They took everything, and when it was all said and done, they left the three with a parting gift.

“FOR OUR PEOPLE.” They shouted as bullets rang out. Detroit, dunked down and reached for his gun first, only able to shoot one of the culprits in his foot. The shots strung Elliot in the neck, Kace in the shoulder and chest, and only grazing Detroit on his leg. The men left quickly....Detroit got up as soon as they did, and tended to his fallen shoulders. Elliot was left in critical condition....Kace had exit wounds, but would be okay.

TCB

Detroit was at the tattoo shop signing off on some final paperwork. Crown Tatz was set to take off tonight. The opening party was being taken care of my @justxjazmina. Troit never was into parties, but this was a special occasion and a milestone within Detroits life. It wasn’t always normal for a trained assassin  giving up the job of protecting orders to running a tattoo shop. It was done though, and he couldn’t be more satisfied. 

[frontpaigeviews]

“Yeah, move the balloon arch more to the left,” Jazmina ordered to the decorating crew. She was a perfectionist, and everything had to be set right where they needed to be. Stepping down from the day-to-day footwork of managing as her due date grew closer, she was in a bit of a relaxed mood. Of course, she had to step out of her break for her man’s big night. She was so proud of him going legit, making an honest living for himself, so this party had to be perfect.

[vxmdetroit]

Walking up behind her and embracing her fullness of soon to be motherhood, Detroit let his hands come under her arms as he ran his hands over her tummy. “How’s it going baby?” He looked at what she done so far and lifted his brows. “Wow…never mind, I see how it’s going.” He chuckled. “Damn you never cease to amaze me at how good you work, even when you’re close to birth, you still manage to take care of business. I love you for it.”

[frontpaigeviews]

“Mmm I love you too,” Jaz responded as he soothed her stomach, lifting it a little to ease the pressure a bit. Jaz sighed in relief. “That feels really good,” she said with a smile.

“Now, the caterer is setting up in the main lobby in about an hour, both regular and vegan choices. The DJ already set up his booth, and we will have the bartenders about 30 minutes before the party to prep.” Looking at her phone while resting her head on Troit’s chest, she added with a chuckle, “Your boy is getting really heavy in here.”

[vxmdetroit]

“You ain’t get the memo?”

His smile grew wide with so much pride to talk about his son.

“That’s my seed in there girl. When you first met me, you got to admit that I was a heavy nigga to deal with, but guess what, you dealt with me real good babe.”

He chuckled. “When and if ever you need to take a load off, do it, I can’t have you going into labor right when guest start coming.” He joked.

Detroit, even though he was busy with the club, placed Jazmina’s pregnancy first. He was going to make sure she was okay.

[frontpaigeviews]

Jazmina chuckled. “I’ll be fine. Just you lifting this belly for a while is enough for me.” She was about a month and a half away from giving birth, so she had to scale back her workload a lot. She had to admit that she was not used to not being busy, but she wanted to give birth with no complications. Thankfully, she had a great partner with her.

“Decorations should be done shortly, and then we can go home and get dressed. I will try to find something that doesn’t make me look like a beluga whale,” she joked.

[vxmdetroit]

“Stop, you’d make anything look good.” He kissed her neck. “I just finished wrapping up my paperwork, so we can go and get ready.”

BIG 4

Detroit was out of the service. No more drug drama, no more protecting nor serving. He had his fathers blessing, so now it was time for him to focus on his dreams and aspirations. The father to be was sitting on a cloud right now. His wife Jazmina was pregnant, glowing, and doing her thing, Mari was slowly coming into her own and being led by Jaz in the most proper way. She was hitting the billboard charts and her music was being played everywhere, so she was doing good, so now Detroit was gathering his fella’s together to create their own Tattoo shop. Detroit would be running it, doing all of the business, while his friend, brother, and new hire would handle the rest. At the moment, they were looking into a building which was located right near the beach.

The seawall was the perfect place for a tattoo business. You would get all kinds of tourist around the world wanting to get a tattoo from one of the best artist out there. Ceasar aint have nothin’ on the BIG 4.

The 4 included Him, Kace, Ashton, and Elliot. Detroit was a little on edge about Elliot, it wasn’t because of who he was, but who he ran with. Troit knew all about Mike…especially his “brother” Duan…the two had a pretty rough patch. Troit never had a real issue with Mike, so just as long as Elliot stayed into his work at the shop and not bring that kind of heat around, then he would be cool. So far, Detroit and Elliot got along real well, same with Ashton. It seemed like the business would prosper the way it needed to.

Walking into the building with @justxjazmina, he wanted to show her the location and what it would look like. “Alright ma…tell the truth bout this place, whatchu think? You like it?”

It was a warehouse…old…but it had a modern feel to it. Though it was empty, the spot had so much potential to be great.

[frontpaigeviews]

Now about 5 months along, Jaz slowly walked around the warehouse, looking around while eating her cheesesticks from Jack In The Box. “Mmm…this is really nice, baby,” she said with a smile. Ever since Troit went legit, things were a bit more at ease. All they had to worry about was the baby, Mari’s career, and each other. Things were at peace.

Sitting down in one of the tattoo recliners, kicking up her feet, she looked all around. “This is nice. Once you get all the furniture in, nice paint job….this is going to be beautiful.”

[vxmdetroit]

“That’s the same thing I was thinking.” He sat down across from her. “I got the fellas lined up, I think imma make this Elliot guy run it. He already got a legit business record and plus, I’m sure he don’t put up with no bullshit.”

He was going to give him a chance. He believed he was about his business, so Detroit was going to see.

“How Mari coming along? I see she has nominations for her first award, that true?”

[frontpaigeviews]

“She got her first three nominations,” Jaz said with a smile. Mari was up for three American Music Awards this year. Not bad for a first time artist, and with Jaz as her manager, things were running smoothly. She was so proud of their daughter, for sure.

“In fact, she has a fitting for her dress tomorrow. She’s just so excited for everything. It’s just a lot,” she said, finishing her cheesesticks. “She’s going to focus more on recording right after this, so things should slow down soon.”

[vxmdetroit]

“Recording mean album right?”

Detroit was happy for Mari, but had his reservations about her success at this rate. Things were going pretty fast and even though she was a rising star, being legit didn’t mean anything. Mariposa will always be a threat and she didn’t even know it. She has Rivera blood in her and Detroit worried that she would become an easy target if not watched.

“Just got to make sure that she has security up the ass. I know she won’t like it, but it’s for her own good. Plus, she needs that extra eye anyway. There is only so much you can do right now especially since you’re pregnant. Pretty soon, you’ll have to lay low. Speaking of, what’s your plan for that Jaz? Who will stand in for you?”

[frontpaigeviews]

“I do have a team behind me now, thankfully, so they will be handling the footwork,” she responded. The deal with Roc Nation allowed Jaz to have a whole team of loyal folks behind her, so finding a stand-in was no biggie. She would still handle the main things from home for the most part. However, the most important thing was her health, and that of their unborn child.

“Believe it or not, this has been less stressful than I thought. Thankfully there’s a lot of help. Of course, security is the main thing for her. Definitely want her to be safe.”

[vxmdetroit]

“The whole Roc Nation thing is nice…feels good to have that kind of back up I bet, but you know as well as I do, they aint assassin ass mothafuckas like me, Kace, Sam…I think Imma throw some of our men in there, just to make sure nothin slides.” 

Detroit was going to protect what was his at ALL costs. Jazmina was still dealing with Mari on the road and everywhere else, he didn’t want anything or anyone slipping through the cracks. There would be much hell to pay if so.

“Sounds like a plan though, I like when you have shit handled already, makes it easier on me for sure.” Detroit got up out of the chair and stood behind her. “So…on to another subject…..key….Jelena….our home….why?” 

Detroit was feeling a way about Jelena having that kind of insurance into their life. Sure, she was “family” but in no relation to him. Jaz failed to mention this little key exchange, so maybe once he finds out the reason behind it, they could come to some sort of compromise.

[frontpaigeviews]

Jazmina sighed. She knew that eventually there would be a situation where he would be a bit unhappy about Jelena having a key, but it was for a good reason. “She had a key since you were still working with Chris for emergency reasons. And also, I have a key to her place as well. Plus with Mari still living here at the time, I figured it would be a decent idea, just in case.”

She was really thinking ahead. Anything could’ve happened while Detroit was still working. And even with him opening the shop, that would take time as well. What if she went into labor and he couldn’t be reached? She needed a backup.

[vxmdetroit]

“Jazmina, I’m no longer at a long distance or working with Chris, so I think its safe to say she can hand the key back over.”

Detroit understood. Thats fine…but there was a thin line…and Jelena crossed that already.

“I get you love Jelena…she’s your friend…Mari’s Aunt..well, kinda…so look, I don’t think I would have a problem with it, had she not just welcomed herself into our home. You’re not in labor, you weren’t even home to begin with…she came there to interrogate me about what he ex husband has done…that shit pissed me off, had I been caught off guard, she’d be dead.”

Troit frowned, “She’s starting to not know her place. Our home is ours, not hers…even if she does have a key, she should knock like a normal person. Now if you home, and you don’t answer, then that’s one thing…but just coming into our fuckin house? On some bullshit? I will kill her.” 

[frontpaigeviews]

“Woah, wait a minute, Cameron….What happened now?”

Jaz was really trying not to go into premature labor, and she wasn’t about to be in the middle of bullshit with the two of them. She was trying to be stress free and have this baby with no complications.

[vxmdetroit]

“Ask her.” He frowned. “Carlos got an ex wife and she mad or some shit. I don’t know, but it has nothing to do with me. Imma need you to talk to her, and where her place is. We married now. Our life isn’t hers. Mari is about to move by herself. She need to get a life.”

[frontpaigeviews]

“Ugh….I was hoping I would not have to talk to her about this. It’s stressful as is,” Jaz responded. She began to rub her temples, trying not to pop a blood vessel. Also, the whole ‘nother wife was news to her as well. She wasn’t even going to try and figure that out. Between managing Mari and her other artist LaDawn, the baby, and being a wife, she was not about to do too much.

“I will tell her. By text.”

[vxmdetroit]

“Doesn’t matter to me the communication.”

Detroit leaned down and pecked her head. He knew it was a lot, but Jaz was grown, and Jelena was her problem. Unfortunately, she would have to handle it because if he did, it wouldn’t be good.

“Enough about that. You got a new artist and everything. How’s that going for you?”

[vxmdetroit]

You’re not in labor, you weren’t even home to begin with...she came there to interrogate me about what he ex husband has done...that shit pissed me off, had I been caught off guard, she’d be dead.”

Troit frowned, “She’s starting to not know her place. Our home is ours, not hers...even if she does have a key, she should knock like a normal person. Now if you home, and you don’t answer, then that's one thing...but just coming into our fuckin house? On some bullshit? I will kill her.” 

[kokolovescake]

Jelena was clueless in what was going on and she needed answers and fast. It seemed like ever since Carlos died, all of secrets have surfaced. She didn’t know that he was hiding so much from her. Meeting this other woman was a shocker and so was the envelope that was dropped in her lap. She laughed it off at the moment because she was in public and out with Giselle who knew nothing about her personal life. After leaving lunch, Jelena drove over to Detroit’s house where she knew he was. She wasn’t getting anything out of Kace and he kept saying to talk to Detroit.

Jelena used her key and opened the door as she saw the person she wanted to talk to sitting in the living room. “We gotta talk.” She threw the envelope at him that contained the paperwork.

The fact that Jelena welcomed herself into his home was one thing, but he was on a conference call and she decided to interrupt it.

“Hey let me call you back.”

Without saying a word to Jelena, he opened the envelope. His brows raised. “His wife. Thought she was still locked up.”

Detroit looked at her, “Jelena. Carlos was married. Him not telling you, has nothing to do with me. So what do you want me to do with this information?”

[kokolovescake]

She knew that Detroit would be pissed with her walking in his house unannounced, but she needed answers. “Sooo no one thought that I should have known that he was married?! Y’all say up there and lied to me and said that he decided to sign papers for him and I to be married and shit. I want an explanation. Some bitch just rolling up on me saying that she wants the cartel...”

At this point, Jelena was fuming. It was one thing after another with Carlos being gone and she didn’t know what to do at this point. She was trying to figure this all out. It was gonna make her retreat back into her shell which was the last thing she needed to do.

[vxmdetroit]

“What Carlos did in his life has nothing to do with me. I aint know he was still married to the bitch, this is news to me like it is to you.” He frowned. “Plus, I don’t even fuck with Carlos like that, but I do know he was once married. I’m sure that answers your question. As far as the Cartel go, that's Chris business, not mine.”

Detroit then put his hand up, “Why the hell you come here? Who even told you to come to me?” The question put a sinister grin on his face. “Kace...that son of a....” he stood up. “Thats Carlos’ main man....he knows EXACTLY what he’s doin....” he shook his head. “Yo...Kace and Carlos were close. I don’t know Carlos like that Jelena, so you gonna have to go exploring somewhere else.”

BIG 4

Detroit was out of the service. No more drug drama, no more protecting nor serving. He had his fathers blessing, so now it was time for him to focus on his dreams and aspirations. The father to be was sitting on a cloud right now. His wife Jazmina was pregnant, glowing, and doing her thing, Mari was slowly coming into her own and being led by Jaz in the most proper way. She was hitting the billboard charts and her music was being played everywhere, so she was doing good, so now Detroit was gathering his fella’s together to create their own Tattoo shop. Detroit would be running it, doing all of the business, while his friend, brother, and new hire would handle the rest. At the moment, they were looking into a building which was located right near the beach.

The seawall was the perfect place for a tattoo business. You would get all kinds of tourist around the world wanting to get a tattoo from one of the best artist out there. Ceasar aint have nothin’ on the BIG 4.

The 4 included Him, Kace, Ashton, and Elliot. Detroit was a little on edge about Elliot, it wasn’t because of who he was, but who he ran with. Troit knew all about Mike…especially his “brother” Duan…the two had a pretty rough patch. Troit never had a real issue with Mike, so just as long as Elliot stayed into his work at the shop and not bring that kind of heat around, then he would be cool. So far, Detroit and Elliot got along real well, same with Ashton. It seemed like the business would prosper the way it needed to.

Walking into the building with @justxjazmina, he wanted to show her the location and what it would look like. “Alright ma…tell the truth bout this place, whatchu think? You like it?”

It was a warehouse…old…but it had a modern feel to it. Though it was empty, the spot had so much potential to be great.

[frontpaigeviews]

Now about 5 months along, Jaz slowly walked around the warehouse, looking around while eating her cheesesticks from Jack In The Box. “Mmm…this is really nice, baby,” she said with a smile. Ever since Troit went legit, things were a bit more at ease. All they had to worry about was the baby, Mari’s career, and each other. Things were at peace.

Sitting down in one of the tattoo recliners, kicking up her feet, she looked all around. “This is nice. Once you get all the furniture in, nice paint job….this is going to be beautiful.”

[vxmdetroit]

“That’s the same thing I was thinking.” He sat down across from her. “I got the fellas lined up, I think imma make this Elliot guy run it. He already got a legit business record and plus, I’m sure he don’t put up with no bullshit.”

He was going to give him a chance. He believed he was about his business, so Detroit was going to see.

“How Mari coming along? I see she has nominations for her first award, that true?”

[frontpaigeviews]

“She got her first three nominations,” Jaz said with a smile. Mari was up for three American Music Awards this year. Not bad for a first time artist, and with Jaz as her manager, things were running smoothly. She was so proud of their daughter, for sure.

“In fact, she has a fitting for her dress tomorrow. She’s just so excited for everything. It’s just a lot,” she said, finishing her cheesesticks. “She’s going to focus more on recording right after this, so things should slow down soon.”

[vxmdetroit]

“Recording mean album right?”

Detroit was happy for Mari, but had his reservations about her success at this rate. Things were going pretty fast and even though she was a rising star, being legit didn’t mean anything. Mariposa will always be a threat and she didn’t even know it. She has Rivera blood in her and Detroit worried that she would become an easy target if not watched.

“Just got to make sure that she has security up the ass. I know she won’t like it, but it’s for her own good. Plus, she needs that extra eye anyway. There is only so much you can do right now especially since you’re pregnant. Pretty soon, you’ll have to lay low. Speaking of, what’s your plan for that Jaz? Who will stand in for you?”

[frontpaigeviews]

“I do have a team behind me now, thankfully, so they will be handling the footwork,” she responded. The deal with Roc Nation allowed Jaz to have a whole team of loyal folks behind her, so finding a stand-in was no biggie. She would still handle the main things from home for the most part. However, the most important thing was her health, and that of their unborn child.

“Believe it or not, this has been less stressful than I thought. Thankfully there’s a lot of help. Of course, security is the main thing for her. Definitely want her to be safe.”

[vxmdetroit]

“The whole Roc Nation thing is nice...feels good to have that kind of back up I bet, but you know as well as I do, they aint assassin ass mothafuckas like me, Kace, Sam...I think Imma throw some of our men in there, just to make sure nothin slides.” 

Detroit was going to protect what was his at ALL costs. Jazmina was still dealing with Mari on the road and everywhere else, he didn’t want anything or anyone slipping through the cracks. There would be much hell to pay if so.

“Sounds like a plan though, I like when you have shit handled already, makes it easier on me for sure.” Detroit got up out of the chair and stood behind her. “So...on to another subject.....key....Jelena....our home....why?” 

Detroit was feeling a way about Jelena having that kind of insurance into their life. Sure, she was “family” but in no relation to him. Jaz failed to mention this little key exchange, so maybe once he finds out the reason behind it, they could come to some sort of compromise.
