“Fuck!” G-Baby said.
Michelle dove back toward the open outside door to see G-Baby landing on the grass next to the dead man and rolling over.
BLAM! BLAM G-Baby fired two shots at the back door where the shots came from.
“Stay down!” Michelle yelled. She jumped down and ran across the narrow yard slamming against the wall of Wilson's trailer at about the midway point between the two doors. The back door opened again, and a hand with a gun reached out.
BLAM! BLAM! Michelle double tapped into the door.
A woman screamed, and the gun dropped to the top landing of the small back step. A moment later the door swung open. A woman yelled out. “Don't shoot! No more. That's the only gun we have.”
“Hands up where we can see them and step your asses out here. Now! Goddamnit!” Michelle yelled at the woman. I want all of you bitches out here now.”
Three women with tear streaked faces stepped out onto the back steps.
“Uncle G, move them up by Wilson and keep them there.” Michelle ran around the back of the steps, grabbed the gun the woman had dropped, and tossed it to G-Baby. “Take this. Wilson's gun is also in the driveway. Don't let one of those bitches pick it up.” She ran back to the door of the second trailer where she came from. Before climbing back in, she asked, “PJ, Jelena, you guys there?”
“Yeah, we’re here,” PJ answered.
“Is everyone ready to go?” Michelle asked.
“All the women with me are ready. We don't know what's going on inside the middle trailer,” PJ said.
“Get them to the van now!” Michelle directed. “Jelena, I’m heading to the back of the middle trailer, go to the front. If any women come out, send them to PJ.” Michelle turned and climbed back inside. In less than half a minute she cleared the trailer. The third man was nowhere to be found.
As the last of the Russian women ran to the vans, Michelle went around to where G-Baby held guard on the three Black hookers. They sat on the ground next to Wilson. “Look at me,” Michelle kicked one of them in the foot.” When they did, she took their photo with her phone. “I have your picture and can learn all I need about who you are. Keep your mouths shut and you'll be okay. Talk to the po-po, and you'll die. It's as simple as that.” She touched G-Baby's arm. “Let’s go.”

Like you, my bills still have to be paid. Unlike Michelle Angelique, I am not a skilled assassin and my wife refuses to become a budding madam, so writing is how I earn the income to pay those pesky bills.
