Max:
I’m gonna bring you peace, Auntie. I promise. *Opens Tim’s bag, sees knives and women’s underwear and some blood* OMG! Well, this is gonna be good.

Max hears loud rap music and follows the sound outside. It’s Tuffy’s friend. Erica and her brother, Cruz

Erica:
Feliz Navidad! Come on, y’all. Time to start get some ho’s(3x)

Kelly:
Whoo! Let me take these car keys cause we all know you can’t drive. Ha!

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

Sky:
Mommy, can we go see Santa, please?

Kelly:
We busy. Go somewhere else.

Tuffy:
Kelly. Ray-Ray, I’ll take y’all after i get done with this thing, ok?

Sky:
Like that’s gonna happen. Come on, I'll take y’all.

The kids go in line to see Santa.

Tuffy:
*Sighs* Look, did you get the drugs?

Kelly:
Yea. My man gave me them and I planted them in the crime scenes. All we need to do is get some of your cousin’s DNA and she’s gone.

Tuffy:
Wait, I thought we were gonna put it on someone else.

Kelly:
Well, yea. That’s what I meant. *Looks at Erica*

Erica:
Now, They ain't hotties, but they good. but they a'ight. 'Cause anytime you ask them to do something, they're gonna be like, "A'ight." Put some gas in the car. "A'ight." Pour my bathwater. "A'ight." I don't even take baths. I take showers.

They go inside a restaurant.

Waitress:
Hey, welcome to Nocha’s Papa. What can I get y’all today?

Erica:
Everything! *Laughs* Can I get some rice, a burger with bacon? And can we get a milkshake? All of them with extra cream. And some apple pie for us adults. What are your kids getting, Tuffy?

Sky:
Tuffy, can we get some rice and some vegans?

Waitress:
Of course. Everything coming right up, cuties.

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

Home:

Max gets dressed to go for her regular jog. Diego joins her.

Jay:
Gamine, hold up! Workout partner for the week. I missed the last three days. Had to double up. How far do you usually run?

Max:
A lot farther when people aren't talking to me. *Thinking* But you can talk to me all day with your sexy voice.

Jay:
Me, I love the company. Helps the time go by. Girl, I swear, you haven't changed one bit. Except for this jogging thing. Looks good on you. You know Mona would be proud of you that we're doing this for her.

Max:
Jay! *Stops running* While we’re on a break, I gotta show you something I found in Tim’s bag.

They go into the garage. Max opens Tim’s bag.

Max:
Well, I can move Tim to my list of people.

Jay:
I thought you said there were some clothes in here.

Max:
There is.

She looks in the bag, but the clothes are gone.

Max:
What the hell?! I swear, there were some women’s sex clothes in here. He must have got them and given them to someone. But who?

Max remembers Tim said he was going to the town’s store and he had a bag with him.

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

???:
Did you find everything you need, baby?

Tim:
Sometimes you find things that you're not even looking for.

???:
When are you gonna tell Max about us?

Tim:
How can I tell her?

???:
If you don’t tell her, I might or someone else will. You know how nosey your family is.

Tim:
Look, just give me some more time. Plus, she starting to look into Lizzy’s and Mona’s murder

???:
What?! Why is she doing that?! Listen, I’m gonna put a stop to it.

Tim:
Baby, please.

???:
You have three days or we’re gonna with my plan.

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

Later that night: Max sits on the front porch. Relly sits next to her.

Relly:
Found her!

Max:
*Thinks* “Oh God in heaven. Why?”

Relly:
So, who’s Wolfie?

Max:
His name is Diego and we used to be friends when I got here. And he did something really bad.

Relly:
M, can I tell you something and not get punched in the face for it?

Max:
What?

Relly:
Am I gonna get punched in the face?

Max:
I’m gonna punch you anyway.

Relly:
You're an attractive woman. You have a lot to offer a guy but you gotta stop running them off.

Max:
I don’t.

Relly:
*Gives her a look* Really? Remember when you were 12 and this kid said you were beautiful and he loved your hair. And you said, "So if I was bald, I wouldn't be beautiful?" And the gas station? It was storming, and that really cute guy asked to pump our gas. And you did let him. Until he hit regular unleaded, and you said, "So a black woman can't afford a premium?". You had to pump your gas in the rain while it ruined your hair.

Max:
*Chuckles* Yea.

Relly:
Men aren't that smart. So we have to trick them into thinking things are their idea when it's really ours. Like Brandon, my boyfriend.

Max:
What, wait?! Does your mother know about this boyfriend?

Relly:
Focus. I don't like carrying my bag all the time. So when Brandon's around, I act like it hurts my shoulder and he carries it for me. He gets to be a hero, and I don't have to carry my bag.

Max:
Ok, One: When in the hell did you get a boyfriend? Two, what’s the point of this?

Relly:
The point is Life's a whole lot easier when there's someone to help carry the load. Even if you can carry it yourself.

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

The next day:

The family always has this game. This year, Sky and Ray-Ray get to pick. They spin the wheel and it lands on basketball. Everyone goes to an old place in the woods.

Max:
We can play here. I mean, I know it’s not the nicest place. But it’ll do. Plus, don’t go in that big hole. Some kids were digging it or something. *Looks at J.B* Come on, old man.

Sidney:
Wait, who-who you talking to?

Mo’nique:
*Takes the ball* Come on, old man. *Chuckles*

The kids go out. J.B, Tony, Kelly, Johnny, Micheal, David, Tuffy, Erica, and Tim go to play. While Mocha, Sindey, Vera, And Max sit out.

Max:
This is great. Family time. And it’s a beautiful day.

Mocha:
They're gonna kill each other out there.

Max:
*Thinks* “Then what would be the point of the game, Ma?” *Laughs*

Everyone is getting along.

Vera:
That’s how we did it in the projects. *Laughs*

Tuffy:
Whoo!

Vera:
I taught you that. I taught you that, baby girl.

Cruz(Erica’s big brother): Hey Aunt Vera, *Blows her a kiss* That’s for you, baby.

Tuffy:
She doesn't want you, boy.

Sidney:
Oh, someone got a boyfriend.

Max:
They’d make a great couple.

Vera:
Baby, please. Your mother has pornos other than most of y’all.

Max:
*Gags* I'm gonna go play.

Jay falls to the ground. Max is on top of him.

Vera:
Go, Baby, Go. Max, get your freak on! That’s how you do it!

Max gets up. Eric gets the ball, but Kelly trips him then a fight starts to happen. Max tries to stop them. But the three of them fall down the hole.

Mocha:
Kelly, have you lost your damn mind?!

Max:
*In her head* Is that even a question?

Vera:
Wait a minute. Now, this is a game. Y’all alright?
