    ROMAN
    What up?
    LANDON
    Is Apollo here?
    ROMAN
    Who’s asking?
    LANDON (nervously)
    Terry…
    ROMAN
    Wait in here.
    Roman pointed to a couch in the living room. He walked to the back of the house and stayed for about two minutes. When he returned he sat at the table with a few other guys and picked up the cards that were in his spot. Landon waited patiently for further directions. Five minutes passed and Landon asked him if he could see Apollo.
    ROMAN
    He said that he don’t know you.
    LANDON
    How the hell is he going to say that he doesn’t know me?
    ROMAN
    By moving his damn mouth. So if you wanna leave the way you came in I suggest that you don’t say another word.
    LANDON
    He is going to see me.
                  By this time a man that was the color of charcoal entered the room. He stood 5’9 and he had a cane in his left hand. He didn’t use the cane for walking but he just carried it. He noticed Landon standing behind Roman. Their eyes met for a quick second. The man used the cane to direct Landon to the back. Landon immediately walked in front of him.
                  The man kept the cane in the middle of Landon’s back. He directed Landon into a room and immediately closed the door. With a quick flick of the lock he punched Landon in the stomach with the cane. Landon fell to the floor holding his stomach. The man kneeled down beside him and placed his hand on his back.
    APOLLO
    Where the hell is my money?
                  Landon tried to speak but was too weak. Apollo took the cane and chopped Landon across the back. Landon laid flat on the floor. Apollo pulled Landon by his dreads.
    APOLLO
    Where is my money?
    LANDON
    I don’t have it right now.  But I need a quick fix until tomorrow. I promise you that I will have the $7,500 that I owe you.
    APOLLO
    What type of fool do you think that I am? Do you know that I can kill you right now and no one will ever find you?
    LANDON
    I promise you Apollo. I will have your money in the morning.
    APOLLO
    You tried to be slick around my boys by giving them a fake ass name. You know what I am going to give you this. But if you don’t have my money in the morning I am coming for you.
                  Apollo pulled out a safe and grabbed a bag with several different color pills. He place ten pills in a small clear bag. When he put the safe up and walked back to Landon. He placed the bag on Landon’s chest and patted it.
    APOLLO
    I want $10,000 by 8 o’clock in the morning. If it is not here I am coming for you.
    LANDON
    I will have it for you.
                  Landon grabbed the bag from his chest as he picked himself up from the floor. He took two pills from the bag and popped them in his mouth. He threw his head back to make sure that the pills went down his throat. He placed the bag in his pocket and walked out of the room.
    APOLLO
    Make sure that you are here in the morning or I am coming for you.
                  Landon looked at Apollo and smiled.

                  Landon walked into his grandmother’s house. The house was completely dark except for the light that was coming from down the hall. Landon walked towards the light. He noticed that the light was coming from his grandmother’s room. He knocked on the door to see if he would get a response.
    GRANDMOTHER ELLA
    Come in.
                  Landon opened the door and entered slowly.
    LANDON
    Gran are you awake?
    GRANDMOTHER ELLA
    Yes. I am just reading some cards from the service today.
    LANDON
    How are you feeling?
    GRANDMOTHER ELLA
    I am good. How are you?
    LANDON
    I am good. Gran I have a question. What time is the will reading tomorrow?
    GRANDMOTHER ELLA
    It won’t be tomorrow. I called the attorney and put it off a few days because your sister has to go out of town.
