Tied to a Boss

Chapter Four
Seated at a window table inside the KFC overlooking the parking lot, both Alinna and Vanessa sat discussing the news Dante told her about Big Worm putting a hit out on her
“So why is he telling you all this instead of doing what he's being paid to do?” Vanessa asked her girl.
“Probably because I'm not getting paid for it,” Dante said as he walked up to their table, setting a tray with a box of chicken down on the table with a drink in his hand.
“So if you’re not getting paid for it then why you doing Big Worm’s dirty work?” Vanessa asked, watching Dante sitting down inside the chair across from her and Alinna.
Pulling out a piece of chicken breast from the box, Dante bit into the chicken, and then said, “It was a favor he did for me but he wanted your girl Alinna taken care of in return.”
“This isn't a favor,” Alinna spoke up
“It is when he gave me information on someone I had words with,” Dante explained.
“So what are your plans now?” Alinna asked as she stood up and leaned over to look inside Dante chicken box, reaching for a chicken wing.
Looking from his chicken box to Alinna after she boldly took his chicken wing, Dante shook his head, and said, “You have two choices.”
“Which are?” Vanessa asked staring hard at Dante. Ignoring Vanessa and her reaching under the table, Dante took another bite of his chicken, and said, “She can either leave Miami or get at this fat fuck.”
“You sound like you’re going to help us?” Alinna asked staring at Dante,
Holding Alinna's eyes as she finished the rest of the chicken wing, Dante said, “Exactly what kind of help do you want from me?”
“Will you help me?” Alinna asked him. Shaking his head, Dante tossed his chicken breast inside his box then picked up the napkin and wiped his hands. “Look, I’ll help out with this shit, but whatever we find we split.”
“Deal,” Alinna replied smiling across from Dante.

Outside in the KFC parking lot, Dante and Alinna exchanged numbers with each other and then Alinna walked off towards Vanessa truck.
“You’re really serious about this aren't you?” Vanessa asked.
“I don't know about this dude, Alinna,” Vanessa admitted as she backed out of the parking spot. “First of all, he's a known jack boy, and you know as I do that you can’t trust no fucking jack boy. Then why is he even doing this for us ... naw, for you? He don't even know you Alinna.”
“I don't know,” Alinna admitted as she looked out the window. “But for some reason I believe him,” Alinna told Vanessa, speaking Spanish while changing the subject at the same time.
Looking over to Alinna wondering what spicy chicken had to do with what they were talking about, Vanessa quickly realized that Alinna didn't want to talk about Dante and their plans. “Where you wanna get the chicken from Alinna?”

“So you agreed to help shorty? What’s the deal fam? When’d you start backing out on your words?” Dante heard Dre ask as he drove home.
“Braw look, you either with me or not, what's up?” Dante asked, heated at Dre for throwing it in his face about him changing his mind.
“Fam, come on, you know I'm with you ain't no doubt, but I'm just surprised you ...”
“Let me hit you back,” Dante interrupted checking his line over hearing the line beep from somebody calling in. “Yeah.”
“Hey handsome. Had an interesting day, did you?” Recognizing Sergeant Angela Perez’s voice from her thick as hell Spanish accent, Dante shook his head and said, “What’s up Angela?”
“You tell me, Dante. Who was the girl you left Club Empire with?”
“What girl?”
“Don't play with me Dante, who was she?”
Dante answered, “A friend, Angela.”
“What type of friend Dante?”
“Look, what the hell you call me for? I ain't up for 20 questions tonight. Say what the fuck you gotta say.”
“I want company tonight. Meet me at the Day's Inn on Columbus Drive.”
“I just pulled in front of my apartment ...”
“I expect you at the hotel in twenty minutes, Dante,” Angela told him hanging up the phone afterwards.
“Fucking shit,” Dante cursed, catching himself before he slung his smart phone across the car only to hear it ring again inside his hand. Looking at the screen this time, surprised to see Alinna calling him so soon, Dante answered, “What’s up Alinna?”
“Why you sounding upset? You still mad at me?”
“Naw, I'm good on that. Something else came up. What's up though? You good?”
“Yeah, I'm straight. I was just thinking and I really don't know anything about you.”
“I ain’t know you were interested in personal background information on me. This some type of interview?”
“I just wanted to know who Dante is. What's your last name for starters?”
“What's yours?”
“Rodriguez,” she answered, and asked again, “What’s your last name, Dante?”
“You plan on pulling my background up or something?”
“Boy, tell me your damn name.”
“Blackwell,” Dante answered, smiling at her spicy but sexy attitude.
“Dante Blackwell,” Alinna repeated, and then asked, “How old are you?”
“Damn nigga, you can't just answer a question straight can you?”
“I'm nineteen,” Dante answered with a smirk. “Now you answer the same question, what's your age?”
“Twenty,” she answered. “Where are you right now?”
Remembering where he was headed, losing his smile, Dante answered, “I'm headed to handle some business real quick. You home yet?”
“Yeah, I got home a little while ago,” Alinna admitted. “So what time are we hooking up tomorrow? I mean for the plan?”
Smirking, Dante said, “Relax shorty. I know what you meant. Just be on standby around noon. I will text you the spot where you’re meeting me. Just be quick, this shouldn't take longer than twenty minutes.”
“Relax Dante. You’re not the only one with a few bodies.” Dante smiled at Alinna’s comment.

Waking to the feel of lips wrapped around his dick, Dante opened his eyes and lifted his head to find Sergeant Angela Perez’s head bobbing up and down between his legs as she tried her best to swallow his dick.
Ultimately fucking the sergeant once again inside her hotel bed, then again in the shower after all of the fucking they did last night, Dante finally got away from the sex-craved bitch, driving away from the Day's Inn.
Pulling out his smartphone, Dante called Big Worm.
“Yeah this is Big Worm. Who is this?”
“Worm, it’s me, what's up? I gotta lot to handle today let get this shit over with.”
“You take care of that already?”
“Last night, we meeting at her spot?”
“Fuck is we meeting…”
“I left her tied up there last night; just meet me in the parking lot at the apartment by …” Looking at his Casio Mickey Mouse watch, Dante realized that it was nearly noon. “Meet me there by 1:00. That’s an hour from now.”
“Yeah whatever,” Big Worm answered and then abruptly hung up the phone.
Texting while driving, Dante sent the time to Alinna telling her what he wanted her to do, and then he called Dre.
“What up fam?” Dre answered.
“Meet me at Alinna’s spot by 12:30. Don't be late and make sure that you have Vegas and Tony T with you.”
“I’ma check you then.”
“Yeah,” Dante answered, hanging up the phone.
Reaching his complex a shortly thereafter, Dante parked at his building in the back of the complex. He shut off the Altima and then hopped out of the car, hit his locks by remote, and jogged inside his apartment building.
Making it to his apartment door, Dante unlocked the front door, and walked
inside the two bedroom, one bathroom apartment.
Locking the front door then heading back to his bedroom at the back of the apartment, Dante was already stripping off his clothes.

Seeing the Chevy Avalanche as Dante said she would, Vanessa pulled inside the parking lot. Alinna watched until the Lexus Truck stopped behind the Avalanche then her and both Amber and Harmony climbed out of the Lexus truck.
Closing the passenger door to the Lexus, Alinna walked around the front end of the truck as Vanessa backed the truck out of the parking lot. She saw both the front passenger door and the back door open with two guys climbing out of the Avalanche.
Seeing the muscular guy who she recognized from the previous night and who Dante told her was Dre, Alinna stood as the he walked over to her. “Dre, right?”
“That's what they call me,” Dre replied. “Dante told you what's up?”
“It's our idea, so I know what's going on,” Alinna cleared up.
Smiling at the attitude, Dre introduced both Vegas and Tony T.
Nodding to both of the guys, Alinna introduced Amber and Harmony.
“What's ya girl’s name in the Lexus truck?” Dre asked.
Noticing the smirk on Dre lips, Alinna said while smiling, “Her name is Vanessa, Dre.”
“I’m gonna remember that,” Dre replied, allowing his smile to show.

Pulling up on his Kawasaki Ninja at exactly 1:00 on the head, Dante turned inside the parking lot at the apartment building that Alinna used as a stash house. He saw Big Worm’s Ford Expedition as well as Dre’s Avalanche already parked in the parking lot.
Parking the bike and shutting it off, Dante saw Big Worm climb from the passenger's seat as he climbed off the bike, noticing he brought six friends with him this time.
Dante pulled off his helmet as he walked from the bike, meeting Big Worm and his boy's in the middle of the parking lot. He said, “What's up Worm? You brought more friends with you this time.”
“Let’s just get this shit over with,” Big Worm replied while scanning the parking lot.
Noticing the nervousness from Big Worm as well as the silence from his boys, Dante played it off as if he didn't notice that he led the seven men inside the apartment building and quietly talking to Big Worm as they all headed up the stairwell.
Once at the apartment, Dante pounded twice on the door.
“Who the fuck’s all inside there?” Big Wormed asked stepping back from the door.
“Relax fat man, it's my nigga Dre,” Dante answered just as the apartment door opened and Dre stood filling the doorway.
“What's up fam?” Dre said to Dante while staring from Big Worm to his boys.
“What up braw?” Dante replied, and then looked back to Big Worm saying, “We doing this or what?”
Sending in his boy's ahead of him, Big Worm followed everyone inside the apartment, shooting Dre a look as he passed him while entering the apartment.
“This is what you wanted, right?” Big Worm heard Dante say as he was entering the front room of the apartment.
Slowly smiling at seeing Alinna tied to a chair with her mouth gagged.
“Now this is what the fuck I'm talking about,” Big Worm said, smiling as he walked through his boys to the front to stand in front of Alinna, seeing the answer in her eyes as she starred up at him. “That’s exactly how I like to see you, bitch. You ain't talking that gangster shit now. And where the fuck is your hero bitch Vanessa at now?”
Slapping Alinna across the face, Big Worm eye's opened wide as he watched Alinna’s hands swing from around her back and the rope that was around her fall free. “What the fuck?”
“Now you fat motherfucker, what were you just saying?” Vanessa spoke up, causing Big Worm and his boys to all turn around looking back behind them.
Seeing Vanessa, Amber, and Harmony along with Dre and two other guys, each of which with guns in their hands, Big Worm turned and looked at Dante only to look back behind him and hearing, “You looking for me fat boy?”
“Ww ... what the hell is ...”
Swinging and connecting with Big Worm’s face, Alinna continued swinging and beating the shit out of Big Worm who screamed like a bitch as he lay balled up on the ground.
Smirking as he leaned against the wall, watching Alinna stomp and kick the shit out of Big Worm, Dante shifted his eyes over to one of the six guys he remembered from the last time he met up with Big Worm, calling out to get his attention then nodding him over.
“I'm not going to make this long. You got two choices. One is you can agree to show me where the money and work is; or two, I'll end what life you got right now. Choose now,” Dante told the guy, sliding one of his hammers from the front of his jeans.
Seeing the guy nod his head in agreement, Dante smiled a small smile saying, “Smart man, real smart man.”
