The next morning, Amiyah woke up and fixed herself a bowl of cereal. While she ate, she watched reruns of Martin.

While she did that, Bianca called her so she answered.

"Hello?", Amiyah said before putting the phone to her head and holding it between her ear and shoulder.

"Did Dominic call you last night?", Bianca asked.

"Yes. He said something about his sister's baby shower", Amiyah said.

"He know I don't like his sister. I don't know why he asked me that shit", Bianca asked.

"Hey, I thought the same thing but I was busy at the time", Amiyah said.

"With Lamar?", Bianca asked.

"Yea", Amiyah replied.

"Oh shooot na", Bianca said.

Amiyah chuckled.

"Uh uh. Girl, you being grown", Bianca said. "Miss I don't want to make anything awkward", Bianca said.

"I honestly don't know what came over me", Amiyah said.

"Girl, I don't blame you", Bianca said. "Shoot, I'm tryna get like you and get to know somebody's son"

Amiyah chuckled.

Suddenly, Amiyah got an incoming call and it was Lamar. She put the phone back to her ear.

"Speaking of somebody's son, he's calling me now", Amiyah said.

"You must of put it on him last night", Bianca said.

Amiyah chuckled. "I'll call you back", Amiyah said.

"Alright", Bianca replied.

Amiyah hung up and answered his call. "Hello?", she said.

"Hey. I hope, I didn't wake you", he said. "I thought that maybe I'd get sent to voicemail or something"

"Oh. No, I'm actually already up", Amiyah said. "What's up?"

"For starters I just wanna say good morning and I hope you slept well and second I talked to some people at the station and that guy you described is actually just being released today from jail", Lamar said.

"Really? Okay, so what's his name so I can talk to him?", Amiyah asked.

"Actually, I'll talk to him for you", Lamar said. "People are crazy out here and the last thing I need is for something to happen to you"

"Hey, I'm a big girl", she said jokingly but she was serious. "I can handle it"

Lamar chuckled. " I got it Amiyah", Lamar said.

"But you don't even know what to ask", Amiyah said.

"Listen, if I can't get a confession then you can try alright", Lamar said.

"Deal", Amiyah said.

"But I have to get back to work", Lamar said. "See you tonight?"

"Um Yea", Amiyah said.

"Cool, alright", Lamar said. "Bye"

"Bye", Amiyah said before hanging up.

Amiyah put her phone down because usually Sundays were her "me time". But she didn't mind spending some time with him tonight.

Amiyah continued to eat her cereal but couldn't because it was soggy. She hated soggy cereal. She put the bowl on the coffee, and laid on her side as she watched T.V.

That evening Lamar, was standing in a basement. He had on a ski mask as he looked at the guy that Amiyah was looking for. The guy was in some glass cell.

"Who are you? What the fuck is your problem?", he asked after coming up to the glass wall.

"A person you're not going to look forward to if you don't cooperate. Now I gotta be somewhere in about an hour so I'm going to need you to make this quick", Lamar said.

"What are you talking about?", the guy asked.

"On November 8th, 2008, did you rob a corner store?", Lamar asked. "And did you shoot and kill a woman"

"I robbed a lot of places. Now can I go?", he asked.

"You can go when say you can go", Lamar said.

"You wanna hear me say? Yes. Yes I robbed a corner store in 2008 and kill somebody", he said. "Now can I go?"

"You're going to tell that to the police", Lamar said. "And detailed"

"I'm not saying shit to the police. Especially something that I don't even remember", he said.

"So, you just go killing innocent people for nothing?", Lamar asked calmly as he walked to a table with stuff on it.

The guy didn't say anything. He was nervous about what Lamar was going to do.

Lamar picked up a picture and put it against the glass.

"She's innocent", he said as he taped it to the glass.

"You're not going to touch her", the guy said.

"Right. As long as you play it smart", Lamar said as he looked at the time on his watch.

"You're crazy", the guy said.

"And you can't live that long without food or water", Lamar said. "Don't worry. I'll be back later tonight. Hopefully your thoughts change"

Lamar began walking to the stairs.

The guy started hitting the glass wall. "You're crazy!", the guy yelled.

Lamar muted the mic in the cell so all you could see was the guy's mouth moving, then Lamar walked through the door to the first level of his house and shut the door and locked it. He took off his ski mask and he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

He got a little nervous because the only person he expected to come was Amiyah but not so soon. He walked to the door and looked through the peak hole and it was Amiyah.

He opened the door and his mood sparked up when he saw her smile.

"Hey you", she said with smile.

"Hey beautiful. Come on in", he said.

Amiyah walked in. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I just wanted to come on over because I was getting a little tired. I didn't wanna fall asleep and make like I was blowing you off or anything", Amiyah said.

"If you're tired then you shouldn't stress your body and stay up", he said.

"I'll just hang out with you for a little bit first", Amiyah said as she walked to the couch and sat down.

"So how was work?", she asked.

"Typical", he said as he sat next to her. "How was your day off?"

"Typical", she said with a chuckle.

Lamar smiled.

"...so whats up with that guy? Like do you already have the questions for him that you're going to ask?", she asked.

"Amiyah, don't stress about that okay? Ive seen criminal in questioning all the time", he said. "I got this.

Amiyah nods. "Yea, you're right. I should relax", she said

"I will keep you updated", he said as he stood up. "But I am starving. You hungry?"

"A little bit", she said.

"Salmon and broccoli?", he asked.

"Add rice?", she asked.

"I'll see if I have some", he said. "And if I do I'll be happy to"

Amiyah smiled and got on her phone.

Lamar looked into his cabinet and saw some rice and looked back at Amiyah who was texting on her phone. He wondered who she was texting but held himself back from asking.

"Got the rice", he said.

Amiyah looked up from her phone. "Oh, yay", she said as she put her phone down on the couch and got up. "I'll help cook"

Lamar chuckled. "Okay. As long as you don't burn my house down", he said.

"Haha, very funny", she said with a smile as she went to the sink to wash her hands.

Lamar looked at her phone sitting on the couch then walked to Amiyah and they started getting the food out.
