We all arrived and walked inside Tabitha's club. The music was blaring and everyone was dancing and grinding with people. Three poles were in a perfect row on the stage that was accompanied with half-naked dancers.

I follow close behind Mike letting him lead the way as Armando's hands rub slightly against mine. I look over at him to already see his eyes looking back. We continue to swiftly walk into the room at the back of the club. A bright neon LED light was above the door that read "The Pony."

"Mike Lowrey... damn!," Tabitha says while checking out Mike. She was wearing bright pink lipstick combined with a neon pink dress.

"What's up Tabitha," Mike says to her. Mike and my dad take a seat on each side of her while I sit down on another couch joined by Armando who sits on the top of it. Armando lightly takes his foot and hits it against my butt making me turn around and give him a "stop" look.

"So y'all in trouble huh," Tabitha asks already sensing what we're here for.

"Yeah we need some help, we need some clothes-," Mike tells her.

"No shit," She says cutting him off, looking at our horribly picked clothes.

"A ride, oh and some phones," Marcus adds onto Mike's lists.

"Don't forget food," I suggest.

"Guns too," Armando says.

"That's my son, Armando and that's Y/N, she's Marcus's daughter," He explains to Tabitha while pointing us out. I send her a slight wave and smile.

"You'd look good on one of my poles. Do a quick twirl for me," She says while looking over to me. Armando gives her a weird look.

"Oh uhm," I say before standing up and spinning for her. Her eyes travel over my body before coming to a conclusion.

"Oh hell no," My dad says with widen eyes.

"Yeah we need you here," She says to me after whistling, her eyes move from my body after I sit back down and towards Armando's. "You got yourself a Spanish son, huh Mike?," She asks Mike.

"Yeah, it's a long story but uhm could you hook us up?," Mike asks disregarding her comments.

"I mean I got all that but what you gonna do for me," She asks him while licking her lips and fixing her dress.

"What you mean? We good for that," Mike tells her.

"Yeah but you guys are men on the run now so," Tabitha quickly says.

"What do you need?," Mike asks her innocently.

"What I need?," She questions while sitting back and spreading her legs.

"Mike let's go..," I say to him but was interrupted by my dad.

"Y/N hush, the adults are speaking," My dad interrupts while shushing me.

"I need you to eat this pussy," Tabitha tells him while hiking up her dress.

"Called it," I say out loud to the two men in front of me who looked shocked. "The signs are all around us, she was giving you THAT look Mike..," I continue, rolling my eyes and looking up at the girl next to me. She kept shooting Armando winks but she was really pretty.

"He's not interested," I tell the girl.

"Don't speak for him," The girl tells me while grazing her hand over his shoulder.

"She's right, not interested," Armando tells her while coming down to sit next to me.

"You know what forget you! You may taste just as bad as you smell," She tells him while turning around.

"Girl-," I start but I see Mike and my dad standing up getting ready to leave.

"Let's go," Mike tells me and Armando, we both stand up but we're soon interrupted with everyone pulling guns out on us.

"This can't be happening," I say to myself, I've said those words more over the past few days than my entire life.

"Sit yo motherfucking ass down," Tabitha yells to us while keeping her gun pointed directly at Mike. The girl that just practically told us off was holding two guns, one pointed at me and one pointed at Armando.

"To think I was gonna let you hit," She says with a scoff to Armando.

"I wouldn't even if I was paid to," Armando says back sassily. That only made her push her finger down on the trigger more.

"Mando! Stop. Talking!," I say quickly to him while regaining my focus to Tabitha.

"Now Tabitha, what is you doing!," Mike questions her with furrowed eyebrows.

"What is you doing! Sit yo ass down, sit yall ass down!," Tabitha questions him back while pointing her gun at all of us. "Aye I got the bad boys right here, let's get that money," She continues while speaking into her phone.

"Hey Tab," Mike starts.

"Shut the fuck up," She says harshly.

"Hold up, I'm confused. You didn't want him to licky licky," My dad asks her genuinely.

"Dad, now is really not the time," I say to him amazed at how this is all he can focus on instead of the fact that we're being held hostage with millions of guns pointed at us.

"5 million bounty on all of y'all head, I really need that money. I was just stalling," Tabitha answers with an accomplished smirk on her face.

"That's cold! He almost did that shit," Marcus says honestly.

"He did not Marcus, I did not almost do anything," Mike defends.

"I told you she didn't like you. Didn't I tell him baby girl," Marcus asks me.

"Dad, I'd really appreciate it if you stopped talking in this moment of chaos," I say to him. "Please read the room, I have a gun pointed at my head by the same bitch I was just about to beat up," I continue.

"Beat up who?" The girl asks while bringing her guns down and starting to remove her earrings.

"Get the fuck up," A man says while entering the room and walking towards us. My dad and Mike follow his instructions and walk towards him. "The bounty is dead or alive. Don't be stupid," He says to them.

Armando and I walk past the girl as I slap her on her face. She was about to do something back but was pulled away by her friends.

"Hoe!," She yells after me. I ignore her and continue to walk forward passing Tabitha who lets her gun find my body.

"Don't worry Y/N, to pay off your prison sentence you can come and work this pole for me," She tells me while humping the air. "Oh and Armando! If you live I'll let you ah ah ah," She continues while sticking out her tongue and flinging it at him seductively.

"What?" Armando says in a monotone disgusted voice.

"I said, if you live mother fucker, holla at me!," Tabitha yells after him while shaking the gun angrily as we all walked out. ———

"Mike, I'm about to make my move," My dad says between his teeth once we get outside.

"No the fuck you not," Mike says back to him. "We're gonna go wherever these men are taking us," He continues.

"Oh I'm not going!", Marcus starts again. "I'll take the one in the front, Armando takes the other two, Y/N can take a half and you got the six in the back," He explains to us in a hushed whisper.

"You're only putting me in charge of "half" a person?," I say back to him.

"In 5...4....," Marcus counts ignoring me.

"Absolutely not," Mike says through gritted teeth.

"3...2...," Marcus begins but was cut of by sudden gun shots. Armando takes my hand and pulls me behind a black van with the others. We all crouch down as another gang comes through with their cars, shooting outside the windows.

Armando takes the gun off of someone who was just killed and starts to shoot at the others. Once he runs out of bullets, we all jump inside of the van's open door and close it. Mike finds a gun while I notice the dead body in the passenger seat.

I check his pulse to see if he's breathing or not just to be proven correctly.

"Dead body upfront," I yell to Marcus and Mike while sitting back against the van door.

"Oh shit..," Mike says under his breath after looking out the window.

"Fuck boy, Fuck boy, what you gonna do?," The man taunts while holding a gun and getting out of his car. He lowkey looks like DJ Khaled.

"You know this guy?," Armando questions Mike.

"Yeah, I hit him with a hammer a couple years ago," Mike answers.

"Don't think I forget about that fucking shit you pulled inside at "Manny's Fried Ribs," Manny yells to us.

"How the fuck did I let you two catch me?," Armando says again to Mike while adjusting his gun.

"You see I got the fam with me! The streets. We can do this nice and easy. Open the door!," Manny yells again.

"We gotta think about this logically, we could either run out of the back door or run towards them with our weapons however on the other-," I start but was cut off by my dad suddenly driving the van into Manny.

"MARCUS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?," Mike yells to Marcus as the car finally collides into Manny.

Armando punches a hole through the back window and starts shooting his gun everywhere. I copy his movements picking up a gun myself and eye balling the shots. Unlucky me, I'm an awful shot.

"Oh shit!," I say as I accidentally shoot at a landline that sends sparks to our car.

"Nice going baby girl!," Marcus tells me. The entire front windshield of the van catches on fire once he turns on the water fluid to extinguish it.

"Use your brain! Water fluid that comes from a car JUST MAY be flammable!," I yell back at him while shooting more of the men down.

Marcus continues to reverse the car backwards while driving, running over more of the men. This sent me and Armando sliding to the side of the windows.

"Now, how was I suppose to know that?," He says stressed and driving the car. More pieces of the van starts to catch on fire. "Everybody relax, the fire is on the outside," He continues trying to calm us down.

I stop shooting around us and turn around to see the fire trailing inside of the van. It soon stops and lands on the boxes next to us and Armando's pants making them catch on fire.

I quickly run over to him and pat down his jeans. Armando let's out a yell after seeing the boxes that were on fire grow and kicks open the door to kick the boxes out.

"Be careful Armando!," I yell after him while patting the fire down on the car. I see him pause outside the door still holding on. "What are you looking at?," I ask him.

I stand up, moving swiftly from the fire and see Judy shooting after him from her car. Half her body is outside the window. I pull Armando back after Judy's shots were unsuccessful and close the van doors.

"Thank you," He whispers under his breath while still holding my hand.

"You could've gotten hurt!," I scold him. The car is still moving but as a result the fire practically engulfs it.

"Everybody out!," Mike yells to us all. I open the back van door and jump out with Armando. Mike and Marcus jump out the side doors and take a roll. The van still moves and runs into a nearby building catching it on fire.

We all run after Armando as he leads the way. We take a quick halt behind an abandoned building and create a plan. ———

"Mike and I's places aren't safe," My dad starts while looking over to me.

"Neither is mine, they've probably already raided my apartment. Plus I'm praying Queso's self feeder food machine is working out for him," I tell the three men infront of me.

"Let's go to Dorn's. He could help us out with identifying whoever is behind this plus we can wash up there," Mike says.

"Wash up? As in shower? Or better yet a bubble bath? We gotta go now!", I tell them while pulling out my phone for a GPS.

"We gotta be careful," Armando says as he snatches my phone and puts it in his pocket. "We can't risk them tracking you. Let's keep moving," He ends. ——— Mike leads us all the way to Dorn's house and after 45 minutes we finally make it outside on his patio.

"Armando, stay outside and watch your surroundings. We trust Dorn but we could always be more careful," Mike explains to his son.

"I wanna go inside, it's not safe out here," Armando says back while looking around.

"Armando.. now is not the time. You need to listen and stay outside!," Mike tells him getting annoyed.

"No, you don't control what I do," Armando says to him disrespectfully.

"Could you just listen and stay your ass outside. I need to shower and it needs to happen NOW. Stay put and keep lookout!," I yell to him while taking my dad and Marcus to knock on dorns door.

"Wow Y/N, didn't think you had that in you," My dad tells me. "You think you can use that voice against Reggie when he eats my Oreos again?," He asks.

After a good 2 minutes, Dorn opens it, visibly sweaty. Saved by the bell.

"Look guys, right now is not a good time for me," Dorn says quickly.

"Yeah not for us either," Marcus answers while pushing past him and walking in.

"Dorn, we need your help," Mike starts but Kelly comes down the stairs in a dark navy blue robe.

"Babe! We're out of body wash," She says but was shocked by us all in Dorn's house. "Y/N!! I've been looking for you!," She continues as her eyes meet mine.

"Kelly!! You have no idea how hard these past days have been," I say to her while running over and giving her a hug.

"Okay look, Kelly and I are together and no, It doesn't interfere with work!," Dorn explains to us all too quickly.

"No duh, it's obvious," Marcus says back sassily while walking over to eat a pack of skittles on their kitchen counter.

"Moving on, we need some help from AMMO. The guy who framed Howard is still out there and we haven't identified him yet" Mike explains to Dorn and Kelly.

"Also guys, we have a guest with us," I add on as the door is harshly pushed open with perfect timing. Armando walks in and has my phone lifted in the air pointing us, with a questioning look on him.

"Who's Arthur?," He asks sternly with his accent poking out. He was staring at me directly in the eyes awaiting for my answer. Jealous maybe?

"Fuck," I say under my breath, maintaining the eye contact with Armando whilst earning shocked faces from Marcus and Mike who looked between us two.

"You gonna answer him?," My dad asks me with a mouthful of skittles. —————————— A/N‼️‼️‼️

hey guys!! if you all watched the "bad boys: ride or die," movie you'd know that the movie itself ends with Armando getting on a boat and leaving but for my story im stilll going to keep putting out chapters which will have a different ending than the movie and how life is like between the reader and Armando!!

(ideas and suggestions are VERY VERY welcomed and VERY needed lmaooo)

Plus, I have two questions for the readers at home‼️‼️

1. for future chapters of this book (that take place once bad boys ride or die ends, therefore i'll be on a script I made), do y'all want the format of future chapters to be imagines or keep it the same of how it is right now

2. would you guys like to have smut in this book? —————————— (Let me know if there's any confusion on question 1, I feel like I could've worded it better lolll. As always, thank you all so much for reading and another chapter will be out shortly!! 💕💗🥰 and please let me know if they're any typos)
