Tiffany awoke to shouting, unaware for a moment as to where she was. She opened her eyes blinking rapidly to get the sleep out of them. It took her a while to work out where she was, but the small blonde little girl in front of her soon jogged her memory.

''Morning Lily,'' she greeted yawning slightly, her voice sounding a little groggy so early in the morning.

''Mommy is shouting at Rabbit,'' Lily looked up at her sadly. Tiffany couldn't help but pull her into a comforting hug as she saw the water build up in the little girls eyes.

''I'm sure it's nothing,'' she tried to reassure her, but Tiffany in truth had no idea what sort of relationship Jimmy even had with his mother. She knew he complained about her a lot, even though she gave him the car and allowed him to stay in the small trailer with her and Lily. Lily seemed content with her answer and rushed out of the room to go into the main area of the trailer.

''Tiff you gonna come with me?''  Jimmy asked popping his head around the door.

''Where you going?'' She asked, following him out of the room and into the main living space.

''Work and then to hang with the guys,'' Jimmy explained, he already had her coat in his hand, ''you coming,'' he added waving it at her.

''Yeah, bye Lily I'll see you soon ok,'' Tiffany spoke softly giving the blonde a kiss on the forehead, before taking her coat from Jimmy.

'' Yeah by baby,'' Jimmy nodded in his sisters direction, she responded with a small wave. He smiled a little as he followed Tiffany out the door.

--------------------------------------

''How was work?'' Tiffany asked Rabbit as he slumped down into the drivers seat. While he'd been at work she had stayed in the car for most of the day, only leaving to get something for lunch. The rest of the time she had a notebook full of plain paper on her lap, which she had been during in. Only a few knew of what she did, Jimmy being one of them.

''Jeanne turned up. She acted as if she hadn't caught my hint of breaking up with her,'' he grumbled out, while putting the key in the ignition.

''Oh,'' Tiffany breathed out, as Jimmy drove the car away from Detroit stamping, so he could pick up the rest of the guys.

''Tiff,'' he sighed pulling out the front of Cheddar's to pick him and the rest up, ''I found something in your coat.''

''You went through my coat,'' she exclaimed glaring daggers at her friend. He'd gone through her personal belong and she was less than thrilled about it.

''I didn't mean to the test just shorta fell out,'' Jimmy stuttered, the words finished tumbling out of his mouth just as their friends came into view.

''I wanna talk about this later ok. I don't want them to know yet,'' Jimmy nodded silently at her request just as Future opened the passenger side door, squeezing himself  in next to her, resting his arm around her back.

'Sup, Dwang, Tiff,'' he greeted, the two mumbled their own greetings in reply, ''so what we doing?'' He asked. Jimmy just shrugged starting the car when Iz, Sol and Cheddar had jumped in the back.

------------------------------------------

 ''Rakim was the first rapper with complex lyrics,'' the group had been driving around in to what felt to Tiffany like circles. All the guys apart from Jimmy were talking about and comparing their favourite rappers, ''But as far as beats and lyrics go, Biggie is the bomb,'' Future was the one talking, finishing his list of in his opinion the best rappers.

 ''I can't believe y'all talk about complex shit and leave out 2Pac,'' Iz argued his case from the back seat.

''Fuck 2Pac!'' Sol added in his own opinion.

''You crazy? Pac's the only lyrical motherfucker out there!'' Iz near enough shouted, arguing his case.

''He's right. His shit has emotion,'' Future nodded his head in agreement.

''What about the Beasties?'' Cheddar asked, trying to find his way into the conversation.

 ''Fuck them,'' Future snapped back.

''How can you even bring them in the mix?'' Sol spoke up, not agreeing on Cheddar's opinion.

 ''They bust some serious shit,'' Cheddar defended.

 ''Those white boys are more like busters on serious shit,'' Future argued back.

 ''I won't bump no Beasties. But it's always easier for whites to succeed... in a black man's medium. Right?'' Iz spoke up.

'' Word up. It's true,'' Future agreed, just as the sight of The Free World and Wink came into view.

 They seemed to be parked in an abandoned car park, Wink seemed to be helping them with something. The moment Rabbit locked eyes on them, he swung the car around, everyone inside fell sideways at the sudden action.

''What are you doing, man?'' Future asked, but Jimmy was already getting out of the car. 

''Rabbit!'' Sol shouted scrambling out of the car after his friend.

''Oh, shit,'' Future muttered as he followed behind his friend, all of them heading towards group of The Free World.

''Don't worry, Rabbit. I got your back!'' Cheddar called out, jumping a little as he was the last to climb out of the car.

''Hey, what's up, B?'' Wink asked turning towards Jimmy, but Jimmy didn't listen instead he grabbed a hold of Papa Doc, bunching his shirt up in his hands.

''You want to fuck with us? Get off me,'' Papa Doc shouted at him.

''What the fuck you gonna do?'' LC cut in and that was when he grabbed a hold of rabbit, which led to the others attacking Sol, Iz  and Future.

Tiffany watched as the Free World and her friends threw punches at each other. One of the girls tired to start on her, but the look she gave them was enough to get them to back off. She was more worried about where Cheddar had gotten to as she didn't see him in the fight. However, seconds later a gunshot sounded, causing her to whip her head around, at the same time the fighting stopped, Papa Doc and LC still gripping Jimmy by the arms.

''You want to fuck with us? Fuck with us, yeah?'' Cheddar shouted, waving the gun around in his hand.

''What the fuck are you doing?'' Jimmy shouted retracting  him self out of LC's and Papa Doc's grip ''Where'd you get that shit?'' He called again.

 ''It's my mum's,'' Cheddar replied with a shrug.

''Put it away before you fucking kill somebody!'' Future exclaimed, yelling at his friend.

''Papa Doc had one!'' Cheddar protested his gun swinging in the direction of Papa Doc, who looked the most worried Tiffany had ever seen him.

''Doesn't mean you need on,'' Tiffany argued.

 ''Yeah put it away,''Jimmy demanded.

 ''Man, put it down,'' Future added. Finally Cheddar lowered it moving to put it back in his waistband.

''Come on,'' Jimmy  beckoned everyone  away From the Free World, they started to move slowly. However, the sudden sound of a gunshot and Cheddar collapsing onto the ground caused everyone to run, The Free World scrambled into their car, while Jimmy, Future, Sol, Iz and surprisingly Wink ran towards Cheddar, Tiffany rushing after them.

''We got to get him to a hospital,'' Wink cried out.

''Well I'm glad somebody thought of that,'' Tiffany bit out as she held Cheddar up into a sitting position resting his head on her lap for the time being. 

''Get the car! I got to put pressure on it,'' Jimmy throw his keys over Future who caught them, running off the car to bring it over.

''You're going to be ok,'' Tiffany whispered to Cheddar, they were now in the car and as Jimmy kept pressure on Cheddar's wound, she tried to calm and relax Cheddar.

''My God. He shot his fucking dick off,'' Sol remarked, not helping the situation.

 ''Did I?'' Cheddar questioned, his voice fading in and out, making it sound as if he was in a daze.

 ''Man, shut the fuck up!'' Jimmy shouted over at his friend. He then shouted over to Future who was the one driving, ''Take Gratiot to McDougal,'' Jimmy directed him.

''I live here, too. I know how to get there!'' Future shot back.

''Do it!'' Was all Jimmy shouted in reply.

There was a moment of a silence, while Jimmy continued to apply pressure to the wound, until Cheddar started to speak again.

''Rabbit's going to teach me to write rhymes.'' 

''What were you doing with a gun?'' Wink cut in from the front passenger seat.

 ''What were you doing with those fuckers?'' Future shot back.

''I have a show with them! Calm the fuck down, y'all!'' Wink defended.

''MC Bob,'' Cheddar whispered out, his voice strained from the pain he experienced.

''What?''

 ''MC Bob,'' he repeated, but Jimmy still looked down at him confused.

''What do you mean?''

''Is it a good name?'' Cheddar asked, looking up at his friend. 

''What's wrong with Cheddar Bob?'' 

''I like MC Bob. Right?'' Tiffany smiled down at her friend, he was adamant about being called MC Bob. 

''Yeah. MC Bob,'' Jimmy reluctantly agreed nodding his head slowly.

Tiffany just hoped they got to the hospital soon, not only for Cheddar's sake, but to see if she actually had Jackson's baby inside her.
