The Circle: Rain's Story Read Online Free PDF

particularly vigilant and guarded each time. It had to be the money , she thought.
    It was all or nothing for the Porter s. When Rain was absolutely sure everyone knew their roles down to the miniscule detail, she ordered.
    “Al right y’all, ain’t too much left to cover. Remember when I told y’all to always keep a stash of money just in case of an emergency? Well, this is why. Go get your stash and bring it back here right now.” She took a quick glance at the time on her cable box. “I got some people coming by in twenty minutes.”
    Each sibling didn’t hesitate and headed to their respective room. Fallon and Autumn came back first. A utumn, the youngest, had her money in a single black sock. She reached her small hand inside and pulled unorganized mounds of bills and placed them all over Rain’s bed. Rain smiled inwardly, because she really stacked and saved her money like she was advised. She even saw a few hundred dollar bills in it, clearly over five-six hundred dollars.
    After she finished she stepped back and smiled proudly. Rain nodded her satisfaction to her. Fallon was next, and she had her hands behind her and when her big sister looked towards her signifying it was her turn to show and prove. From behind her back, she exposed a thick wad of bills lined neatly the long way with a red rubber band around it and tossed into the pot on the bed.
    “$1,414 dollars ,” she proudly said.
    Rain shook her head in satisfaction. Rain did not need any of their money. She had more than enough of her own money to handle anything she needed to do. So did Dayvid, she knew, because he was notoriously stingy with his money. It was merely an opportunity to give them one of the many tests and lessons she taught them to prepare them for the future.
    Searching each and every one of her siblings' eyes, she reminded all of them . "If you're going to take a risk at all, you might as well make it a big risk. We are Porters and we don't do shit half way. We double up!"

    CHAPTER 6
     
    IN THE WANING HOURS of the night, Rain lay wide awake, waiting for the most important call of her life. Veronica came through earlier that evening to collect her first half payment of $1000 to fuck and suck heaven out of the dealer known as Lil Dot.
    Veronica knew Lil Dot very well from around the way; she used to fuck with his boss, who was his uncle who was recently murdered less than a year ago. Back then, he was too small time and too young acting for her, and she rarely fucked with the help .
    Since Lil Dot took over his uncle’s spot and operation, his name started ringing bells throughout the city as someone not to mess with. Veronica was the perfect vixen, a spider woman, and had no problem taking on this job. She had many, many unsuspecting victims and dealers set up and murdered in her past, so this one would be easy and she never asked any questions when she’s doing a job. She didn’t care as long as the money was right. She had the rising street star Lil Dot on her radar anyway, so it was a win/win for her.
    It was a little past four in the morning when she received the news she was hoping for. Veronica sexed Lil Dot out like crazy and got the boy sprung. Rain hung up the phone. She lay back on her pillow and clasped her fingers behind her head and smiled.
    Phas e one , she thought.

    The job, the operation, the heist, was approaching fast, all players engrossed in their own thought s, as they replay their roles over and over. The silence was broken when Dayvid called her name and chucked his head for her to follow him. She trailed him to his room and he locked the door behind them.
    “W hat’s up?” Rain asked, curious.
    Without saying a word, he reached down and lifted up his bed mattress and revealed to her two black automatic handguns. As always, Rain was expressionless, but never stammered and simply asked her twin brother.
    “What’s up with that?”
    “Our
