perhaps even a week or more, to set things up. She would have to stay in town at least that long so that she could meet with the park’s officials, and the whale’s trainers. The question was, how could she keep Jamaica in town for a few days without arousing her suspicions. Hmmmm, how can I keep Jamaica busy for a few days? Shopping! That’s it!
    She knew that the city was filled with large shopping malls, and Jamaica couldn’t resist a mall that she hadn’t pillaged yet. It was perfect. Jamaica would get to shop until her heart was content, while she would get to set things up. But…how would she break the news? How could she break the news?
    That’s it, she thought. She would take Jamaica for a walk along the beach, and then point toward the water. Jai, girl, what if that whale really does like you? What if he likes you so much that he’s flying in first class to be in your next video?
    Police!
    She would need lots of police to be around when she told her. And bodyguards! She would have plenty of bodyguards standing around so that they could break Jamaica’s strangle-hold when she tried to kill her.
    LaChina tilted her head to one side and exhaled forcibly. She would have to think of a way to tell her friend. She thought of telling Jamaica that she loved her, and that she simply wanted her to stay on top and stay rich. But she knew that wouldn’t work, either. Jai would always be rich. Hell, Jai’s great, great, great, great, great-grandkids would always be rich. She could say, Jai, it’s my job. It’s why you hired me. But it still wouldn’t keep Jamaica from trying to kill her. Jai, I’m pregnant, so you can’t kill me when I tell you this. Jai, you’re pregnant. It’s Shamu’s baby and he’s flying here for a paternity test. She would still kill her.
    LaChina knew that she would have to think of something later, perhaps on the plane. First things first. She turned to her cousin. “Jemia, how would you like to take me and Jai shopping? Everything’s on me.”
    â€œShopping?” Jemia asked, lifting an eyebrow. “And free shopping at that, are you kidding? When would you like to go?”
    LaChina turned and watched as her friend slid off the whale, and climbed back onto the platform. The crowd’s applause had been non-stop.
    â€œTomorrow,” LaChina told her. “Tomorrow, we shop.”

Chapter Four
    T he mall was large, modern, and clean. It was designed primarily for tourists traipsing through the city’s pristine downtown area. The San Antonio River flowed through the shopping mall’s three stories, giving it its name, the River Center Mall.
    The ceramic-tile floor, along with plentiful amounts of chrome and glass, gave it a futuristic, funky, almost European feel. The massive crystal and glass lighting fixtures, and the gigantic water fountains spaced throughout, added to that look.
    Sam Goody music store was on the second tier. Its music emanated into the general mall area, just enough to attract customers, yet not disturb the store’s neighbors. It attracted Savion’s attention.
    â€œHey, T, let’s go in here and put in some applications,” he told his brother. The brothers veered into the eclectic, flashy record store, where Savion approached the clerk for an application. Tameer walked straight to the rap section; he would listen to nothing else.

    â€œOh, China! Girl, this place is gorgeous!” Jamaica exclaimed. “The river flows right into the mall, and all of the little cafes, restaurants, and bars along the banks of the river are so cute! It’s like being in Europe!”
    Jamaica was like a kid in a candy store. Her doe-like eyes darted all over the establishment, and her giddiness was uncontrollable. It all made LaChina smile.
    â€œSee, and you didn’t even want to come here!” LaChina told her.
    â€œI didn’t even know that there were places
