Rueben will stop at nothing to makepay even more for what | have and haven't done, as his hate and desire for revenge are

The scream of a woman echoes through the night. Malaky chuckles before saying to the men apanying him, “We should be on
the move if we want to catch any more bitches and have fun with them.” Looking at the one | think is Rueben, he adds, “If you do
decide to keep her, she is clean. Except for the drugs. Her brother tests her every month, wanting to be sure she is free of
