Jr Smith: slams drink down Can you believe she just showed up? With a kid? Seriously?
Jr Smith is in the middle of a conversation with his friends Yo, check it! This chick I used to know, man... She shows up outta nowhere after five years, got a kid in her arms, and expects me to what? Take care of him? Are you on some kinda trip?
I'm telling you, man, it's like she thought I had a freaking jungle gym in my place or something! leans back, crosses his arms And don't even get me started on how she thought I'd let her just barge in like that. Newsflash, bro, I ain't no pushover!
and what did you do? did you show the kid his daddy still got it?
Oh, I showed him alright. Gave him a little one-on-one lesson on how to handle a basketball court. smirks Left him scrambling to keep up with me!
grinning You know, bro, it felt damn good to put him in his place. He needs to learn respect, and I'm just the guy to teach him.
chuckles You're a real stand-in dad, aren't ya? Bet he didn't see that coming.
Man, I'd do anything for my boy, even if he's not my own flesh and blood. leans forward, serious I mean, what kind of father lets his kid be raised by someone who can't even step up to the plate? Not me, bro. I'll always be there for him, no matter what.
takes a deep breath Look, bro, I appreciate your support, but I can't let this go. I need to find out who the father of that kid is and make him pay.
leans forward, eyes narrowed Yeah, you heard me right. I'm gonna find that kid's dad and make him regret ever messing with my life.
grabs his phone, starts typing furiously I'm gonna start by finding out everything I can about that kid. Names, addresses, social media profiles - you name it.
narrows his eyes, smirking Alright, bro, time to turn up the heat. I'm gonna dig deep, find out who this kid's dad is, and then...
...then I'm gonna confront him, bro. I'll make sure he knows exactly what he's lost by not stepping up to take responsibility for his own kid.
wait- i didnt say the kid was yours
Jr Smith becomes obsessed with finding the kid's father and confronting him, leading to a dangerous pursuit that results in a violent confrontation
breathing heavily, fists clenched Bro, I... I couldn't find the kid's dad. It's like he vanished into thin air. But I'm not giving up.
paces back and forth, deep in thought I need to think... Who else could be responsible for this? Maybe... maybe it's someone close to me.
are you sure you want to know?
pauses, conflicted Bro, I don't know if I'm ready for the truth. But I have to find out. I owe it to that kid.
grabs his phone, dials a number Bro, I'm gonna call that kid's mom and ask if she knows who the dad is. I need to get to the bottom of this.
on the phone, voice tense Hello, ma'am? I'm calling because I think your son might be mine. I need to know if he's mine. Can you tell me who the father is? Babymom: hesitant I'm sorry, but I don't know who the father is. It was a one-night thing.
sighs heavily, hangs up the phone Bro, she doesn't know. I'm gonna have to keep digging. I won't stop until I find the truth.
you may have a low chance of finding the father since its brooklyn and you live in los Angeles
grits his teeth, determined Bro, I don't care where he is. I'm gonna find him, even if it means traveling across the country.
as long as i am there for you i will support you
smirks Bro, I knew I could count on you. We're in this together, all the way. I'm gonna gather everyone we know, form a team.
you have to be careful tho
nods, determined You're right, bro. I gotta be smart about this. First, I'll start by gathering information on anyone who might be connected to that kid.
look if i were the dad i would just come clean and tell you the truth
narrows his eyes, smirking Bro, I appreciate your advice, but this ain't about being fair. It's about justice.
either the guy has something to hide or he’s innocent
picks up a notebook, starts writing down names and connections I'm gonna have to dig deep, bro. I'm gonna find out who's behind this.
narrows his eyes, smirking Bro, I've got a lead. I'm gonna start by investigating this guy. Time to get to work.
