where just yet! This job requires me and Shannon’s expertise at the present time so fall your ass back.” Jay told her.
    “Yeah ya’ll will arrive the day before we make the move with the rest of the crew.” Shannon assured her.
    “I hope this little money I got last until this shit goes through.” She stated like someone cared.
    “If it don’t that’s all on you!” The trio burst out laughing exiting the restaurant.

    They were headed to Lambert Airport getting ready to fly out to Columbia, South Carolina. Jay was planning to pick up Shannon, but she was fumbling around trying to get ready. She truly wasn’t a morning person but she knew that today she had to get up early to make this flight on time. She didn’t even bother to pack her bags, she would shop when she got there as a past time. Plus, since she was the type of lady this man loved, she had to make it do what it do now that her time to shine had finally come.
    She was going out the door when her phone began to ring. Shannon was calling. She thought her friend was calling to press her for running a few minutes late. “What you want hooker?” She chimed when she answer the phone.
    “Aye did you get picked up by car service?” she asked.
    “No I am in my car.” She was confused now.
    “Well just headed to the airport. I don’t know what’s going on so I will just see you when I get there.” She hung up still confused.
    Shannon sat inside the 2012 Lincoln.   She was loving the ride even though she didn’t know why she was in it. She didn’t know D that well so why would he send a car for her and not one for Jay? That wasn’t his swag by far. It was more to this but she was just going to enjoy the ride for now.
    Jay was waiting on the C concourse for Shannon so they could board the plane together. Shannon was running down the concourse to make sure she wouldn’t miss the flight. She was so comfortable in the luxury ride that she had dosed off. She wasn’t sure why she had gotten the all-star treatment but she needed it and could definitely get used to it. She wanted to think about why and how but she didn’t have time, right now it was time to put her game face on. When you go in the zone you have to always be ready for war. She would think about luxuries when she got back home.
    Jay saw Shannon running her way. She yelled, “Over here!” Shannon followed her voice, she had her ticket in her hand. When she got close to Jay she said “Wait!” she was scared.
    “What’s up sis?”
      “I am scared! I never been on a plane before.” She had a fear in her eyes that Jay had never seen before.
    “Me either, but look at it this way. We’re flying first class and if we die we’ll be together and go out in style.” She smiled.
    “You ready to die?” Shannon asked her.
    “Yeah let’s ride.” She grabbed her hand and boarded the plane.
    The flight was smooth and it took only a few hours to get there. The girls enjoyed their first plane ride. Delta Airlines first class was the shit. It made you feel as if you were riding in a spaceship. Complimentary food and drink was awesome as well, hell by the time the plane landed, the girls were in la-la land. They touched down at Columbia Owens downtown airport.
      They weren’t really sure what the next move was until they saw a man dressed in chauffeur’s attire waving a DBB sign, which was their cue.
    “Are you our driver?” Shannon asked
    “Are you ladies the Duffle Bag Bitches?” He asked as if he had been dying to meet them all day.
    “Yes we are.” Jay smiled.
    “Follow me please.” The two women followed behind the driver; they were blown away, and suddenly they realized that they were no longer small time, they were in the big leagues now.
    They had signed up for some real shit, and they had to be ready for it. The limousine pulled up to 700 Woodrow St., The Whitney Hotel. Shannon and Jay headed to the desk where the receptionist looked to be engaged in a more
