A new, bright and sunny day begins in the city of Pasadena

The Williams House

Kevin and Sharan walks in through the foyer as Abe comes out from the kitchen wiping his hands in a towel.

Kevin

"Good morning pops. Where's mom?"

Abe

"Good morning son, Sharan." He says looking at her

Sharan

"Good morning Chief Williams."

Abe

"Your mother had choir rehearsal this morning."

Kevin

"What else is new? Is Karim coming for breakfast?"

Abe

"I talked to him earlier this morning, he said he would be here."

Just as he says that, the youngest Williams walks in.

Abe

"Son." He embraces him

Abe

"How you feeling?"

Karim

"I'm cool pops."

Abe

"Good lets sit down and eat this breakfast, I gotta be to work soon." They all sit down at the dining room table and help themselves to French toast, fresh fruit, sausage links, and o.j.

Karim

"Where's ma at?"

Kevin

"Where she's always at if she's not here."

At the same time, the Williams men say

"Choir practice."

Kevin

"Well everyone, Sharan and I got some great news."

Karim

"I could use some good news right about now."

Kevin

"Sharan and I got engaged last night."

Abe

"Son that's wonderful. Congratulations."

Sharan

"Thank you. I'm floating on cloud nine. I can't wait until I become Mrs. Kevin Williams"

Karim

"Great." Thinking of Ria, he becomes quiet and disinterested. Abe does the same thing, thinking who sent him the cryptic message last night he received in his mailbox.

Kevin

"Pops, you ok? Seem like something is on your mind."

Abe

"I'm good soon. Listen I got to take care of something so I'm going to head out." He takes his napkin and wipes his mouth.

Abe

"Karim, if you need someone to talk to, I'm just a phone call away." He hugs Karim before leaving.

Sharan

"I need to get going into the shop too. I got to do a perm at 9."

Kevin

"OK baby." He kisses his new fiancée.

Sharan

"Karim, Again I'm so sorry for everything that has happened with Ria"

Karim

"It's not your fault. Don't even worry about it. I'm not." Sharan smiles at him and leaves the Williams house. Kevin looks at his younger brother and can tell something is on his mind.

"What's on your mind bruh?"

Karim

"Trying not to let it be Ria. But I did something I swore I would never do?"

Kevin

"What's that?"

Karim

"I had sex with a white woman last night."

Sharan pulls off from the Williams house and following her is Mona

Mona

"I got you all to myself to pretty baby."

Westwood Park, Mike's House

Mike steps out of his room to walk in on Jodie in the kitchen taking her medication. She quickly turns her back to Mike as if to hide what she is doing.

Mike

"Jodie, what's the matter?"

Jodie

"Nothing, I was just-"

Mike

"It seem like you didn't want me to see you take your medication or something." Jodie doesn't answer.

"Jodie, if you can tell me you have HIV then surely you can take medication in front of me. I told you I don't judge you and I care for you. I want you to be yourself. Be Jodie Keefe." He smiles at.

Jodie

"It's been a long time since I heard someone say they care about me." She walks up to him and hugs him, then suddenly she pulls back. "I'm sorry, I should have asked.."

Mike

"Don't be ridiculous. You don't get HIV through hugging."

Jodie

"It's not that. Sometimes people act differently towards or feel a certain way about you if they know. Some people don't even want to touch you."

Mike

"I am not all those people." He grabs her and gives her a bear hug. They are interrupted by a knock on the door.

Mike

"I'll get that, why don't you see what I got in the fridge for breakfast." Jodie walks into the kitchen as Mike opens his door

"What the hell are you doing here Jenn?"

Jenn

"Good morning to you too. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed as unusual?"

Mike

"No. It's just a surprise to see you here. And I can't say it is a pleasant one"

Jenn

"Well I came by to see if you were doing ok after last night?"

Mike

"Excuse me?"

Jenn

"You know, when you saw Jodie trying to make moves on Ty. I was just making sure you were alright after you found out she's a loose woman."

Mike

"I could say the same thing about you."

Jenn, shocked

"I beg your pardon?"

Mike

"No need to beg Jenn. I mean we have been broken up what ….a few weeks and you're already with someone else. You have no room to talk. And besides. Jodie was not rubbing up on Ty."

She laughs

"And what makes you say that." Jodie walks up behind Mike so Jenn can see her.

"The only thing I found Mike was some cheese and bread. So how about grilled cheese sandwiches.? Oh hey Jenn." She says finally acknowledging she's even there. Jenn feeling like a complete idiot sucks her teeth after she closes her jaw, rolls her eyes at the two and just walks away in embarrassment and gets in her car and drives.

Mark and Dahlia's house,

Mark spits out his mouthwash when he hears the phone ring.

"Hello" He hears nothing. "Hello!?" After another moment of silence he slams the phone down.

"Probably Natalia playing games." He says. He grabs his keys and heads to the hospital.

Pasadena Police Station

Abe is sitting in his office looking at the ominous letter he received in his mailbox last night with no postage stamp and no return address. He reads the note again. "Secrets have a way of coming out. The skeletons in your closet will be revealed." Abe calls in one of his officers to his office. He hangs up the phone.

The officer enters his office

"Yes Chief?"

Abe

"I want you to take this to the lab and dust for fingerprints. I need it ASAP." He says as gets up and hands the officer the letter and envelope.

Officer

"I'm on it Chief." The officer leaves. Abe sits back down at his desk and begins to sort papers on his desk, wondering what the note means. His thoughts are interrupted when Sharan comes barging in.

Abe

"Sharan, what is it, are you ok?"

Sharan

"I don't know, I think someone is following me."

Huntington Memorial Hospital

Mark walks in Dahlia's room sees Diego, sitting in a chair next to her.

"What is going on here?"

Diego, getting up quickly.

"Uh,..(trying to think of a quick answer) "I work here. What's your excuse?"

Mark

"I love Dahlia."

Diego

"Actions speak louder than words."

Mark

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Diego, brushing Mark and leave him wondering

"Good Day Mr. Mortimer" He says as he walks out the room.

Mark

"Something is seriously going on." He sits in the chair next to Dahlia and holds her hand and kisses it. The phone in Dahlia's room rings. Mark answers.

"Hello?" Mark hears silence again. "Hello!?" Again silence." Look you better quit playing these childish games on the phone Natalia. I know it's you! " He says as he slams the phone down.

Westwood Park, Natalia's house

Ria is in the living room flat ironing her hair while watching 106&Park on BET until Natalia comes in her front door.

Ria

"Girl where you been? You must of got you some last night. From Mark?"

Natalia

"Not exactly.."

Ria

"Girl no, there's someone else?"

Natalia

"Let me show you." She pulls a DVD out her purse and puts it in her DVD player.

"What's this?"

Natalia

"You're about to see who I had sex with last night"

Ria

"Oh wee" Frowning

Natalia

"What's the matter?"

Ria

"I don't how I should say this so I'm going to come right out and say it. Natti, you my girl, but I don't want to see your tits and ass. I just don't get down like that. And I don't want to see no pink booty or no white "Cock" "

Natalia

"I can understand not wanting to see my beautiful body, but Ria' I'm white."

Ria

"Girl no you aint. You just Natti, my home girl from way back when."

Natalia

"So you don't like white people?"

Ria

"I never said that. I am not a racist. White men just aint my thing that's all."

Ria

"Girl what? Is that how they making them these days. I might have to reconsider my position. Just tell me who it was girl."

Natalia

"Bryan."

Ria

"I know that's right. And you taped it too?"

Natalia

"I sure did. It's going to come in handy. Ha Ha Sabryn, I slept with your man" She says as a devilish grin appears on her face.
