Pleas..., baby, look me in the eye right now and tell me the truth.”I didn’t have a problem because I was telling the truth. This was not an amok situation.We locked eyes. “It’s the truth, Girl.

He fell foul of one lot and we were in deep shit.“He told me to disappear and he told me how to do it. I wasn’t to tell anyone, not even you. I got my mail transferred.
