The next afternoon Criss was sitting in his office trying to get some work done but he couldn't concentrate as last night's dinner disaster played in his head. Criss knew how old fashion his mother is but he never thought that she'd be so upset at him that she pack up and go back to New York. "You all right boss". Criss looked up and saw Trina. "How's everything with George and Aunt Stella?"he asked playing with a quarter. "A little better JD told me your mother left last night". "I can't believe she's over reactting over the wedding postponment" he remarked. "Christopher it's probably the fact you started gambling again". "That's the one thing she was afraid of when I moved out here I guess those fear became reality to her"Criss replied. "She probably thinks you're going to end up like my brother"she stated. "I wish I could of told her that you guys caught me before I ended up getting mysel beat up again by loan sharks"he remarked.

"Just give her some time you did hit her with a double whammy". "Actually your brother started it"Criss said. "Well I talked to him and he apologizedfor letting the cat out of the bag". "I'm going over to Believe if anyone's looking for me" and Criss left. As Criss left just by his body language she could Criss was depressed. After Criss did Believe he left but instead of going home he ended up at a betting saloon. Criss sat in his car as he tried calling his mother but she wasn't picking up which was making Criss unhappy. A knock to his window caught his attention. He turned and saw Marcus.
