{Alrighty. Everything's been going great in these streets so far. This Chapter is pretty long. I hope yall like it. Enjoy!}

********************************************

Safaree panicked he raced around the room screaming for her. Feeling his way out of the door and into the hallway, he heard a small voice coming from Nicki's room. He slowly walked closer to her door.

"Ouch..." he heard Nic say.

He walked into her room to see her laid out across the floor. He quickly rushed to help her up, hoping she was okay.

"Nicki! you alright?!" he panicked again.

As he lifted her up, he heard her giggling. He looked at her funny wondering what was so goofy.

"I caaaant! My clumsy ass was tryna run to my restroom to pee in pitch black and I tripped on my rug and fell! Bwahahaha! Omg." Nicki laughed out loud at herself for her silly actions.

SB shook his head and chuckled at how goofy she was. He walked over to turn on the lamp, on her nightstand by her bed. She walked into her bathroom to release herself. He waited for her, sitting on the edge of her bed.

"I got up to go see what the noise was downstairs....I heard a loud boomin sound, so I went to go check it out...."

"Did you find out what it was???" Nic yelled over the sound of the water in the sink running.

"No. All I caught was the balcony door wide open with wind blowing in...nothing damaged nor touched tho..." he informed her.

".....Wait...SOMEBODY BROKE INTO OUR HOUSE?! When Safaree?!"

"I ain't Say That! I just said the back door was left open...." SB tried to simmer her down before she started worrying.

She came out the restroom and looked at Safaree like why was he still standing there. She zoomed out of her room and zipped downstairs, into the living room to find the balcony door closed. She paused for a minute, staring at the door and became confused. She frowned in confusion, thinking that SB had to be exaggerating about the whole thing.

"Hmm...SAFAREE?!"

He ran and rushed downstairs to what was wrong. "WHAT. What Happen?!"

She rolled her eyes and pointed towards the door. "The door was closed all along...see." She pulled back the white curtains to show Safaree the closed opaque glassed door. Outside was pitch black so they couldn't see anything, as the same on the outside. His eyes grew wide in awe. He couldn't believe it!

"B...B-But the door was ju-.... NO I saw....Nic, this door was ju-....Hell Nawl..." he rubbed the top of his head, shaking it in indenile.

Nic rolled her eyes again and started toward the staircase. She concluded that he was very tired and he was just being delusional.

"Nicki where you going?!"

"Back to bed and do you have to yell so gotdamn loud boy?" Nic walked up the last couple of steps and back into Safaree's room. SB froze for a minute, thinking. He could've sworn he heard noises and saw the back door wide open. It couldn't have been his imagination. Before heading into the kitchen, he scanned over the living room again making sure everything wasn't out of place.

Grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge, he took a sip then
headed back upstairs. Nicki was still up, sitting in his bed staring into space. As he came in and crawled back in bed, she didn't notice his presence right away. SB glanced over at her to see what was wrong which startled her because she had just recognized him.

"Yo you good?"

"Yeah."

"Aight......You Sho?"

She nodded and pulled him under the covers with her to cuddle with him until he interupted her.

"....Nic."

"....Hmm?"

"Yo ass aint finna take over MY bed with that massive snorin you be doin..."

She popped up from under the sheets, and looked at him crazy. "BOY what?! I do NOT snore! That be you and yo monster roarin nigga! Zon't even go there." he chuckled and pecked her on the lips.

"Well Since you don't like my snoring, go back to your comfy BED!" he joked.

She rolled her eyes at him once again and hit him with a pillow. "Shut UPPPP." Nic leaned over to give him another peck on the lips before leaving to really go lay in her own bed.

The next morning, Nicki woke up and took her a shower. Safaree was up and down stairs preparing a breakfast for the two. Today, Nic was going over to Lauren's for Girls Night and to let her and the girls know what's been really going on.

As Nic thought long and hard in the shower about what she wanted to say to her friends, SB was downstairs thinking about how everything in their life had become a nightmare. From the murder, the crash, these weird people, the strange texts and calls. It became reality to Safaree now......everything was starting to hit reality for him and he was realizing. He was recognizing everything around him now.

He began to take things into more precaution around him....around THEM. He now had a purpose for Nicki and whatever exactly that purpose was....he promised himself to live up to it...

Breakfast was now done and Nic was on her way downstairs. Safaree made them Egg whites, toast, turkey bacon and homeade waffles with whip cream, strawberries and maple syrup.

"Good Morning." Nic greeted him taking a seat at the island bar. "Mmmmm...smells good in here." she flashed her glowing white smile at Gali.

"Well you know how a coon throw down. Just thought I'd whip up a lil sumn sumn for my cookie cup." SB said in his cocky voice, smiling and showing off.

"Safaree shut the hell up and gimmie my gotdamn food." Nic joked with a straight face looking him dead and the eyes.

"Let me be GREAT in these streets playboi!" He pouted, sitting her plate in front of her. He walked over to the fridgidaire to grab him a peach tea snapple and Nic a lemon tea snapple. He sat hers by her plate and began to chow down on his food.

For 35 minutes, they conversed about the tour that was in 3 weeks. Nic was very excited to meet her international barbz finally after waiting so long. She explained to Safaree on all her surprises and special guests for the tour also.

A phone call came from the office on the other side of the living room. The phone ring made Nicki stop in mid-sentence to go answer it.

She walked in and closed the door. She slowly picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hi is this Ms. Maraj?"

"Yes, this is she. May I Ask who's speaking?"

"Yes ma'am. This is Detective McGasky. I'm calling to let you in on some info about this investigation, if you're not busy I-"

"OH! Well um...can we...Is it okay to just have another meeting? I'm AWFULLY busy today soooo maybe tomorrow...maybe?" She pleaded hoping tomorrow was a good day to.

"Of Course! No big deal. We'll set up a meeting for tomorrow. Any time's good for me."

"Okay! Okay good....if I...don't have anything too important to do tomorrow afternoon then that'll be a great time for me." Nicki made sure, double-checking her calendar.

"Great! Just contact me and let me know before time. I'll see you tomorrow. Have a nice day love."

"No problem, Thank you sooooo much! And you too. Buh-bye." Hanging up the phone, she went to let Safaree know, to inform Manny about tomorrow. On her way out the office....she noticed one of her pictures of SB and her missing. Nicki checked around the desk and around the rest of the office for it but no where to be found.

Coming out of the office, she grabbed her plate from the bar to clean it. "Safaree have you seen that picture of us that was sitting on my desk in the office? Its not there anymore." she frowned to herself in confusion.

"Nope. You aint check on the floor to see if it fell or somethin? It might've fell underneath the desk." SB suggested, walking towards the balcony door to examine it.

"I Already DID. Like...now I can't find it. Did you happen to misplace it or somethin?" she said drying her hands and walking out of the kitchen into the living room.

"Nic i have not touched that picture, nor the other ones in there. Now I don't know ho-" he stopped in his tracks to realize what happen last night. He looked over at the balcony door and began to remember. He looked back at Nicki.

She shook her head in disbelief at what he was thinking. "No...No..Safaree NO. No one broke in here. I SWEAR that door was never opened. Plus it was locked! That's impossible! I-I-"

"NICKI! I wasn't lying to you when I said this door was left open when I heard that loud boom! Thats why I was down here at first. I KNEW I wasn't hearin stuff! That prolly ain't the only thing they jacked....."

"What else did they take in here?!" She begin looking around, searching for things that might've been missing. Safaree got up and helped. Nic went back into the office to double check around. Back in the living room, Gali ran to the house phone and contacted the officials to let them know that there was a robbery last night. He requested to get cameras all around the house for security purposes so they'd be safe.

-----

4:57pm. Nicki was on her way to Lauren's house. She took Safaree's car so she wouldn't be recognized in her Pink Benz. On her way there, she thought about why everything seemed to become more dangerous everyday for her to live through. A call came from Wayne as she reached over for her purse to grab her blackberry and answer it.

"Hey Wayne."

"Hey baby, you feelin okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just headin over to Lauren's to have a drink with the girls."

"Good...good. Listen, I uh..wanna get you and the crww together for a mini meeting....I also wanna apologize for what happened at the umm...-"

"Oh no no no. It's fine. I'm okay. It was just alot going on and I kinda just lost it."

"Nic you know I'm here if you need to talk. You know that right?"

"Yeah." She paused for a minute, an idea popped in her head. "Umm, Wayne are you busy tomorrow?"

"Not that I know of...why wuts good?"

"I have a meeting with a Detective tomorrow and uhh he has some new information to give me...I think you and Baby need to hear about it..."

"Is Everything okay, Nic?" he sounded worried.

"I just need you and Baby to be there. Please?"

"Aight...give me a call..Love you."

"I will. Love you too." she hung up and took a deep breath. Pulling into Lauren's driveway, Nicki took a deep breath before getting out and knocking on the front door.
