Larissa sat on the bar stool outside the bar and had on my favourite black tights with the spandex just above the knees. I could see her smile from a distance as she chatted with a few of her customers. Dusk was approaching and I hated being cooped up in the Compound after hearing the news about Shorty and Stereo in the same day. I needed a drink as a parked the car at the back of the Police station and walked through the front gate. Traffic had been busy along the road both ways, and every now and again I would hear my name being shouted from both sides of the traffic.
A few hours later I sat in the corner of the bar with his back to the wall and the vantage point of seeing all who came into the bar. Eventhough I was surrounded by my own men. My mind was still uneasy and I played over and over what Manny had told him. I could see Larissa's mouth moving but his ears did not catch a word of what she had been talking about until she slapped me on my hand that clutched the bottle of corona beer.

The sound of a turbocharged car caught his ear, and Dominique turned and watched as the black four-door Sedan in pristine condition with chrome rims, roared past them. It instantly brought back memories for Dominique. He smiled.“Hey, what are you smiling about?” Marsha asked.
“Marsha each time we have porridge together I think of you as Goldilocks sampling the bowls of porridge in the bears in the cabin trying to find one with the temperature that was just right." He chuckled as he spoke, causing few kernels to leak between the cup and lip falling on his white starched shirt.
“Oh yeah! How did you manage that miracle Dominique Martin?" she enquired. “You know what, don't tell me. After hearing about your past earlier, I changed my mind.”“Haha!” he laughed “I had a link at the Firearm Licensing Authority who had managed to get my application approved for a small fee.”
The words Ming spoke resonated in Dominique’s head as he turned to Marsha on the drive back to Kingston.“Babes I can see a fleet of black high end Luxury SUV’s driven by men dressed in black pants and white linen shirts with 9mm handguns tucked into their waist bands and offices in Kingston and Montego Bay.”
"Wow Dominique you seem to have been spending time with this machine!” Marsha replied.He remained silent as he knew that any response would lead to further questions and there was no way he was going to set up himself to fail later by giving away too much information. He was relieved when she changed the subject as the recently constructed; six lane North Coast highways gave way to the three lanes of Mandela Highway.
