moment. This was the life and she was glad that one of the Murder Mamas was blessed to live it. It wasn’t about the money or respect, it was about peace of mind. After the sins that they had committed Aries was lucky to find it. “You made it out. You have a home and a child. I assume there is a man?”
    Miamor sat down at the kitchen table as Aries went to the cupboard to start a pot of tea.
    â€œThere used to be someone,” Aries said. “He was killed. The past knocked on my door and he got mixed up in some bullshit. I bounced around from place to place. Went back home to the Islands, then to Montana to settle a score, to Arizona, and finally decided to settle here. I ditched the accent to blend in and I started over. This place felt the safest.”
    Aries filled the kettle with water and placed it over the blue and orange flame on the stove. Miamor admired her. She’s so normal now, Miamor thought. She then took a seat across from Miamor. “What happened to you Mia?” A dark cloud seemed to shift over their heads as the mood changed. The reunion had turned dark as the thought of their dead friend loomed over them.
    â€œI was in hiding,” Miamor admitted. “Running from Mecca. I only came back after Carter killed him.”
    â€œBut we got your hands sent to us in a box,” Aries whispered.
    Miamor shook her head. “It’s a long story but they weren’t my hands.”
    â€œYou left us,” Aries whispered. “We were in the middle of a fucking war and you just dipped. You left us stuck. Where were you when they took Robyn’s life?” The reunion between the two of them was bittersweet. Miamor had been their leader. Aries couldn’t help but think if she had stayed things may have turned out differently.
    â€œI cried for a week straight when Robyn was executed. I’m sorry Aries. I should have been there,” Miamor whispered. “You all were my sisters.”
    Tears accumulated in Aries eyes. “They put her down like a dog,” she whispered. She quickly swiped the emotion away. “You have a child?” she asked.
    Miamor frowned. “How do you know that?”
    Aries chuckled. “You put on some weight. The bad bitch I know don’t play that. You wouldn’t gain a pound. A baby is the only explanation. Can I assume that you’re back with Carter?”
    Miamor smiled. She missed this intimate interaction with Aries. No one had known her better than the Murder Mamas. They were family. Despite her love for Carter and her growing bond with Breeze and Leena, she was never as intimate with anyone as she was with her crew. “I am. Which is why I’m here. I need your help Aries. There’s a case against Carter, Zyir, and Monroe . . .”
    â€œMonroe?” Aries questioned in shock. “What the fuck? Everybody is just rising out of their graves in Miami?” The revelation hit her the same way it had everyone else when they first found out Money was alive, like a ton of bricks. “I saw that man in his casket.”
    â€œHe’s alive,” Miamor confirmed. “He lay in a coma for five years but he breathes just like you and me. The case that the Feds have brought down on The Cartel is solid enough to send everyone away for life. They’re on the run . . .” Miamor wouldn’t have shared that information with anyone else, but she had trusted Aries with much more. Miamor hid no truths from this old friend. They had done and seen it all . . . together. “I’m being watched or I would put the work in myself. This fucking prosecuting attorney would love to catch me up in the RICO case. You’re not on the radar though Aries. You could get in and out. Help me make this go away.”
    â€œYou want me to murk a P.A.? Have you lost your mind Miamor?” Aries asked. They had gotten away with their share of murders in their day, but this situation reminded her too much
