The blow was thrown so hard, both the girls and Tender reeled back on impact. A satisfying smile appeared on Kat’s face as she extracted her revenge. Again and again, she pulverized her face. Lumps appeared magically.
“Bitch, you ain’t getting’ shit!!! …” Kat barked. “You musta been crazy if you thought I wuz givin’ up dat money … You’ll have ta kill me ta get it!!! …”
Two men exiting the club stumbled upon this one-sided fight. “Hey, what da fuck y’all doin’? … Let dat girl go! … Why don’t you shoot her a fair one?”
Kat and company panicked, releasing the hold on Tender; they jumped in the truck and peeled off. Tender fell to the ground, knocked out cold.

“… Hey, ho!!” she cursed into the phone. “Dis Kat!! … Yeah, it’s me, bitch … Listen, I wanted you ta be da first ta know … Me and Q iz gettin’ married soon … Yeah, bitch, you heard me right!!! … Married!!! … I wanna know can his daughter be aparta our weddin’??? … So, da fuck what? … It’s his child toooo!!! … Faget it then … Let me tell ya sumthin’ else … I’m pregnant … six months … Eat ya heart out … You ain’t gonna do a muthafuckin’ thing ta me! … Bring ya black ass right down here then … I live on … I’ll be waitin’.
