Chapter 1 (Intro.)
"What's up family?" exclaimed Calvin as he strolled into his parents' home.
"Go away!" replied Curtis.
"Don't listen to him baby, he jus' mad 'cause we ran outta pork chops," called the sweet Ella, "come on in, Suga,"
"Has anyone seen Miranda lately?" Calvin asked
Ella answered, "You mean she hasn't been home?"
"Naw I ain't seen her for like fo' hours."
"That's odd," Curtis joined in unwelcomed, "she was just here yesterday,"
"Why was she here?"
"She asked us for some-,"
"UNCLE CURTIS!!" Curtis had been interrupted by Jasmine.
"Malik's putting his feet in my face and they stiiiink!"
"Whatever she's tellin' you is a lie!" was Malik's only response.
"Anyway, what did Miranda ask you for?" Calvin was starting to get worried.
"She asked for some money,"
"Money? We got plenty o' dat!"
"Correction: she got plenty money!" CJ had just walked in the room, wanting to join in on the laugh.
While everybody had a laugh, Calvin couldn't make sense of Miranda asking his own family for money. I mean she had made him co-owner of the barbershop and paid the bills on time every month. It just didn't add up.
