Huey Freeman, Cario, Dewey (Jenkins?), Riley Freeman

(The Wingmen)

Huey's POV:

"So where do we start?" I asked.

We had all woke up really early ready to talk about what we were going to do. Yesterday was probably the hardest day for all of us, seeing Ceaser with all those marks on him it had finally woke me up. I mean sure I was and will always be the same Huey but this brought out the old Huey who's used to taking charge and doing something not waiting for something to happen. We had to make the first move before they did whoever they were.

"I have no idea." Sophie said miserably.

Besides me she was probably the one who took it the hardest. I knew just like me she wanted answers and was willing to do anything to get them.

"Well we could always go to the scene of the crime." Natasha said.

"I'm pretty sure anything that we coulda used was already discovered by da police." Cindy said.

"Well it wouldn't hurt to look. I mean come on the police can't find everything." Natasha said.

"She's right, I guess it wouldn't hurt." Ceaser said but he sounded unsure.

I sighed this was going to be harder than I thought. "Ok why don't some of us go and look at Ceaser's house, some stay here and look up whatever we can online, and they rest try to get as much info out of Ceaser as possible." I said.

"What do mean I've already told you guys everything." Ceaser said confused.

"Yea everything about what happened, not what you remember about the people." I said.

He nodded his head slowly as if thinking about what I said. I rolled my eyes.

"This isn't a debate Ceaser." I said slightly annoyed.

He rolled his eyes. "Fine." He huffed then I saw him smirk.

What?" I asked.

"Nice to have you back Huey." He said.

I returned the smirk. "I never left."

"Awww did I just walk in on a little bromance?" Jazmine cooed.

"What's bromance?" Sophie asked.

"You know brothers? Romance? Bromance?" Jazmine asked giggling like it was the most simply thing ever.

Sophie shook her head but laughed.

"Has anyone seen Riley or Daniel?" Cindy asked looking around.

"Yea they said something about someone named Ed and playing Rummy." Natasha said.

Cindy chuckled. "Naw, first off the guy name is Rummy so they probably went to visit Ed & Rummy." Cindy explained.

Even I couldn't help but smirk a little because Natasha thought they meant Rummy the card game not the person.

"He was named after a card game wow his mom must of hated him." Natasha said.

"Whatever can we get back to the matter at hand?" Ceaser asked.

"Well Reezy need ta know what's goin-"

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
"That's probably them." I said standing up. I knew before I even opened the door what to expect, I could smell it. Sure enough when I opened the door they were both high and drunk.

"What up my niggggaaaa." Riley said falling down.

I rolled my eyes of course he gets drunk and high the day we go looking for information.

"Get the hell up." I said kicking him.

"Hey don't kick him pusssssyyyyyy." Daniel said his words slurring trying to get a hit which I easily dodge. He fell to the ground right next to Riley.

Again I rolled me eyes. "Natasha! Cindy! Come get your dumbass boyfriends!" I yelled.

"Why whats wrong with- What the hell!" Cindy yelled looking down at the two boys on the floor.

"Daniel why the hell are you drunk?" Natasha yelled.

"And high." Cindy said sniffing the air. Cindy turned and looked at me. "Huey there's no way we can go today look at them." Cindy said pointing down at the two of them.

"Young Reezy do wateva he wanna do bitch!" Riley yelled defensively.

"Shut up nigga ya lucky I haven't shanked you yet." Cindy said in a warning tone.

"Hey can someone give me a little help?" Natasha asked as she tried to help Daniel stand up.

"Yea iight one second I gotta help Reezy up first." Cindy said bending down. "Damn Reezy when you start bein so heavy?" she asked walking up the stairs toward me and Riley's bedroom. "Be right back!" she yelled over he shoulder.

I sighed and rolled my eyes leaving Natasha to help Daniel stand up for herself.

"What's with all the noise?" Jazmine asked as soon as I walked in.

"We can't go today." I said bluntly.

"Why not?" Jazmine asked.

"Because today dumbass #1 and dumbass #2 decided to go get drunk and high over at Ed and Rummy's." I said.

"But we have to go today! Come on I spent like 2 hours pumping myself up for this!" Jazmine whined.

"Well what do you want me to do? Huh? You want me to demand that they become sober and not high? Well sorry to bust your precious world but that can't really happen!" I snapped.

I saw a look of hurt cross her eyes before anger came. "I'm not asking you to do anything!" she said angrily walking out the room.

"Well way to go Huey." Sophie said clapping sarcastically.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked.

"It's supposed to mean that you didn't have to snap at her like that, yea we're all pretty irritable today we get it but you don't have to be such a dick." She said.

"She doesn't have to be such a brat!" I said back defensively.

Sophie walked over and placed a hand on the side of my face. "Huey calm down I know your upset, I am too, we all are but she's your girlfriend don't treat her like that." She said softly.

I could feel myself starting to calm down. "Yea I know." I mumbled.

"So what are you gonna do to fix this?" Sophie asked as if she was a mother talking to a child.

"Tell her I'm sorry." I mumbled.

"Good boy, then you can come down and get a cookie." She teased patting my head.

"Yea very funny Soph, but ok I'll be right back." I said hurrying to get up the stairs. My mind flashed back to the promise I had made her just yesterday, damn it this was going to take a lot of apologizing.

Cindy's POV:

It took a while to get Reezy up into his bedroom but once I did I let go so that he fell to the ground.

"Iight Reezy enough games I know you ain't even drunk or high and neither is Daniel." I said with my hands on my hips.

"Yea and so?" Riley asked standing up.

"What the hell is your problem we were suppose to go lookin fa information today why would ya pull somethin like dis?" I asked.

"Because I wanted a day to hang out wit Ed and Rummy without thinkin bout all dis shit." He said flopping on his bed.

"This isn't bout ya Reezy its bout Ceez and ya just totally let him down." I said annoyed.

"'And ya just totally let him down'" He mimicked. "I don't care I deserve one day without all dis shit and today was the day so deal." He said.

"First off nigga don't eva in ya life mimic me again." I warned. "And second of all we all deserve one day but that don't mean we go drinking and partying." I said.

"We used to, we used to be so care free and now we have drama what is dis Days Of Our Lives? Why we gotta go through so much drama?" he asked but it seemed like he was talking to his self more than to me.

"I don't know." I sighed laying next to him. "But we do so let's just get it done wit so we can go back to bein drama free." I said.

As soon as I laid down Riley's fingers were through my hair stroking it, a habit he picked up when we started dating. It actually felt pretty good.

"But what if something happen like ta me or ta you?" he asked.

"Is Riley Freeman scared?" I asked in a teasing way.

"Please," he scoffed. "Reezy ain't scared of nothing but I'm just sayin what if?" he asked.

"Dat won't happen I promise." I said lifting my head to look into his beautiful sea of brown eyes.

"Iight." He said finally.

I reached up a little to plant a kiss on his lips. It was suppose to be a peck but it somehow got deeper than that. Before I knew it we were all over each other. And I liked it I wanted more but as soon as I felt his hand go to the hem of my shirt I pushed away. I stood up and walked slowly to the other side of the room.

"What the hell C-Murph?" Riley exclaimed.

"I'm sorry ok! I'm just not ready!" I said.

"Not ready? Are ya kiddin me? Tasha, Soph, even oh-so-innocent Jazzy did it but you not ready?" he said frustrated.

I didn't really know what to say. When it came down to anything I was always ready, I'm Cindy Mcphearson and I'm not afraid of anything except this…

"Well what do ya want me to do huh? I just can't do this." I said running my hand through my hair.

I sat down on Huey's bed refusing to look at Riley. I couldn't keep doing this just for when the moment was right to just turn him down it wasn't fair to him or me. I heard him take a breath before he came over to sit next to me.

"You know I would never hurt you right?" he asked.

I nodded my head still not looking at him. He lifted my face so I would have to look at him.

"So why you buggin so much?" he asked.

"I'm scared." I said in a voice that didn't even sound like me. Again it was probably because I have never admitted to being scared about anything, hello? I'm a Mcphearson people fear me.

"C-Murph I'm not sure how to deal wit dis." Riley said.

"Yea well I don't either this hard for me too Reezy! I don't know why I'm so scared but I am! I'm just so confused." I said desperately.

"We can't keep doin dis." He said.

"I know, so what should we do?" I asked.

"I don't know. Its just…You don't trust me that much do you?" he asked.

I looked at him confused, of course I trusted him why would he even think that I wouldn't.

"Reezy ya know I trust ya." I said.

"Well den how come every time I try you push me away? That don't really show how much ya trust me." He said.

I thought it over. He was right if I really trusted him I wouldn't push him away, if I really loved him I would trust him completely so why wasn't I?

"Your right."I said finally.

"C-Murph love is trust if you don't trust me you don't love me simply as dat." He said taking my hands in his.

"Riley I do love you I do but I'm just not ready." I repeated shaking my head.

"Well I can't keep doin dis. This is clearly a huge thing to you but I don't want to be wit someone who doesn't really love me." He said.

"Reez I do I really do I'm serious." I said trying to convince him but it sounded like I was trying to convince myself.

"No you don't or you would trust me." He started to stand up.

"No, no, no Riley please, I do love you please please stay." I pleaded.

"I'm sury Cindy but I can't do dis." He said softly. "I think we need some time apart I don't want to be with someone who dosen't love me." He said.

All my emotions came to quick it was hard to sort them out. I felt sad, mad, surprised, hurt, confused and a bunch of other things. I didn't know which one to express I finally settled one the one I probably shouldn't have.

"What do you mean someone who doesn't really love you? Is that what you thought when you dated all dem broke hoe's?" I asked angrily.

"Yea but all those hoe's weren't you." He said.

"Your so fuckin selfish you break up wit me cuz you can't get any! Damn bastard!" I yelled.

He stood there for a minute in shock. "Bastard?" he asked. "Fuck you bitch! You just a ugly ass tease! We're through ok? We are through!" he said angrily walking out the door. He slammed it behind him.

I sank to the ground slowly. "What the hell did I just do?" I thought. Reezy had just walked out on me and it wasn't the same as when I had broken up with him something about this felt final and it was slowly killing me.
