“Marty you expecting somebody this early?” I hear Ms. Lydia yell from the hall as the door bell rings. “How did everything go? Did they agree to help?” I asked as Tez climbs back through the window. “It’s Marie. You get answers today. “ He whispers taking his hoody and jeans off. “Marty, Ki yall woke?” Ms. Lydia says knocking on the door. “Keys here.” She says opening the door. “Ki, wake up.” Tez says pretending to nudge me. “Come out once y’all decent.” She says closing the door back. “Good morning you two.” Marie says sitting on the couch. “Hey aunt Marie.” I said sitting at the table. “Marie.” Tez says nodding to her. “I heard you wanted to talk about Mack.” Marie says looking at me. “Yes.” I answer almost at a whisper. “How long did you know I was his daughter. I asked looking at Tez. “From the moment you walked into the building.” You have his whole face.” She says smiling. “Why didn’t you tell me you knew my father?” She ask eyes red and swolle

“Can I come in to talk to you?” I ask, walking into the room. “It’s your room. What are you asking me for? She answered, rolling her eyes. “If you came in here to ask me not to hate HIM, don’t waste your time breathing. “I’d never tell you how to feel, ma. I lowkey hate that nigga too. I just gave him the respect I thought he earned. But after hearing my pops never trusted him after…”“Why didn’t your dad have him killed or kicked out or whatever it is that gangs do?” She says before I could finish. “To protect Marie. To protect all of us. They say pops sent on missions that should’ve gotten him killed, but it never happened. I said, climbing in bed with her. “I don’t know what to say to help you through this or what to do. I do know you’re not in this alone, and whatever you wanna do, I’m with you. I just ask we talk about it and plan it right.” I say, causing her to smile a little. “Whatever I want.” She asked with a grin. “Whatever.” I respond, looking her in her eyes. “Let’s

“What do you think the price will be if they decide to help?” Marie asks as we leave out the door. “He’s going to take over everything I built.” I say, already knowing his true intentions. “Fuck. He’s going to set them boys out to die or put them on blocks that will get them killed.” She said, starting the car. “Ain’t that the same thing?” I asked, confused. “Not when you’re dealing with a nigga like Curko.” She whispered. “He either leaves them high and dry with prices no one can afford or he just sends them to try and take over blocks that we don’t have.” “But why would he want our block? What’s so special about it?” I ask, still not getting it. “He wants access to the Fort.” She said, as if she already knew. “I thought he had that already. Didn’t he help pops set it up?” I asked, still confused. “Fuck no, when yo pops had them gut the fort, he was already on his way out. Yo pops put us here to get us away from Curko so he would never know we saw him that nig

“Are you okay?” I hear Tez ask as I flush the toilet. “Yeah, I think that Chinese food didn’t agree with me.” I say, walking over to the sink to get the mouthwash. “I think it’s more than that.” He says with a grin. “What you mean?” I say before swishing the mouthwash. “I think you should take a test.” He says, causing me to choke. “A pregnancy test.” I whisper.“Yep.” He says, nodding his head. “I haven’t even missed my period yet.” I whisper, closing the bottle.“What does that mean?” He asks, eyebrows raised. “I kinda started today.” I say, looking at him crazy. “How do you kinda start? We had sex this morning; there was no blood.” He asks, confused. “When I got in the shower, I was spotting.” I say, feeling exposed and embarrassed. “Can you just take one for me?” He says as he kisses my cheek. “I’m on my period. I…I…” I start. “Ewww, y’all trying to get freaky on her period.“ Mae said, standing outside the door. “And with the door open at that. She said walking away.

“Hey can you tell me if Nikkita Boarders is still in surgery.”I ask at the front desk for the hundredth time. “One second please.” The woman at the desk says looking at the computer. “Yes she’s still in surgery. Are you family?” She asked with a smile. “Yes. I’m her sister.” I say smiling back. “Ok well the doctor will come out as soon as there’s news. Can we have your mother’s number so we can call and inform her.” She asks grabbing a pen and pad. “We don’t have a mother but my Aunt is on her way here. I’ve already called her.” I say trying to hold a smile. “Ok.” She says with a raised brow. “May I go see Stacy Boarders?” I ask politely. “Stacy boarders is in room J75 on the ICU bay floor 6. Give me one second for a pass.” She says handing me a blue pass. Please stop at the nurse station before entering the room to get a gown and mask.” She says pointing to the elevators. “Thank you.” I say walking towards the elevator. “Hello I was told to stop here before visiting
