“Neko, there is something else too.” His
eyes were wide and wild. He looked as though he were at his
breaking point. He couldn’t take any more bad news.

“Daddy had a lot of money in that safe. I
got it all before I closed up shop.”

As I spoke those words, for the first time
he looked hopeful.

“I grabbed what I could that belonged to
you. I have everything I was able to carry in the car. I didn’t
even want to take the chance of getting a hotel room or going back
to the city once I left Georgetown. I know that detective would
have been all over my ass had I stayed. I think the best thing to
do is to wait it out a few days, see Oscar and blow town. We have
to be gone before next Wednesday. Caesar, Daddy’s connect, is
hounding me and I have no fucking intentions on dealing with that
greaser.”

Neko nodded his head in approval. “So how
long do we have before we go and see Oscar? I figure the faster we
see him and get the answers we need, the faster we can leave.”

“I think the best time for us to try and get
in to see him without too much notice is going right before
visiting hours are over. If we go at that time there is less likely
to be any police guarding him. Until later, we have to lay low. I
suggest finding some place out here to get a hotel. Nothing fancy.
Just a couple of rooms where we can rest. We also have to get rid
of these cars because that stupid detective most likely already has
an APB out on my Caddy.

I was feeling better with just knowing that
in a few days we would be leaving DC for good. It hurt a little to
know that all that my father had worked for was gone and that my
life, as I knew it, was done. I said a silent prayer and hoped that
God heard me for all it was worth. He and I have never had a good
relationship, so I hoped he was forgiving like people said. I
needed to walk away from everything with my life; and with my
brother’s life and freedom.

Our first mission was to get rooms. Neko and
I decided that fancy, five-star hotels were out and we would have
to settle for some
Red Roof
action to stay under the radar.
I drove down route one in Alexandria and got two rooms under fake
names. I paid cash so there would be no credit card linking us to
the rooms; then I gave Neko the key to his room which was right
next to mine.

We had unloaded everything into the rooms,
emptying both cars being that we would no longer be able to drive
either of them anymore. I had already called Benny to let him know
I was coming to get a new whip and to have something nice for me to
ride in. I wanted to take some time to try and gather my thoughts
alone, but being that I was on borrowed time, rest would have to
wait. Neko and I headed to Benny’s garage. I was wondering what
type of nice ride we would be getting. I would love to keep my
Cadillac, but I knew it was too hot to keep it. It was one of the
last things I had that my father had given me and I didn’t want to
give it up.

We pulled into the garage one behind the
other. I was in my Cadillac and Neko was in Daddy’s Benz. I had
already pre-arranged for Benny to take both cars in exchange for
one legit car. Neko and I had to stick together from there on out,
or at least until we made it to our destination. Then we could get
rid of the car that we got from Benny and each get our own separate
rides. I stepped out of the car feeling lost. I knew I had just
done the same thing a few months earlier, but it was definitely
under different circumstances. Neko followed me to the garage doors
and Benny greeted us.

“So, what will you give us for a Caddy and a
Benz? Benny, I don’t want a piece of shit either and it has to be
legit. I need to be able to get on the road and drive it without
any issues and no one taking notice of me.”

Benny pointed to a black 2012 fully loaded
Dodge Charger. “Will that do? “ He asked.

Both Neko and I were satisfied with the
exchange even though price wise we were getting dicked. Benny
dropped the keys into my upturned palm and in exchange I had handed
him the keys to my Cadillac and Neko handed him the keys to the
Benz. I still felt a little cheated even though I really had no
choice at the time. There was no honor among thieves.

I got into the car and started it up and
listened to the Hemi roar. Neko got in the passenger seat and Benny
handed me the spare key and the tag and title info through the
window. Honestly, I could care less what we drove as long as we got
the fuck out of there and fast. I waved goodbye to Benny and pulled
away from his garage. Damn! Wherever we headed I would have to find
another hook up man like Benny. He made shit so easy! Our next
order of business was going to see Oscar.

The Ultra Bar

911 F Street

NW Washington, DC

We pulled up to Prince Georges Hospital at
about seven forty-five. Visiting hours were over at eight p.m. We
had exactly fifteen minutes to get in there and find out what we
needed from Oscar. Once we made it to the floor where Oscar was, we
went to the nurses’ station to make sure we were able to visit. I
gave them my ID and signed the visitor’s log. I gave them the name
of the person we were visiting. The nurses looked from one to the
other. They looked real uncomfortable.

“Ma’am I hate to tell you this but Oscar
passed away a couple hours ago.”

“No!” I screamed. “This shit can’t be
happening! What do you mean he passed away? I was just here earlier
and he was fine.”

“We still don’t know what happened. We’re
really not supposed to release any information to anyone other than
family.” The heavy set nurse said.

“We are his family. He didn’t have anyone
else!” I yelled.

The elderly looking nurse stood and came
from around the desk. She put her arm around me and led me away
from the nurse’s station.

“Ma’am, the doctors aren’t sure, but they
believed he had an allergic reaction to some of the medicines they
gave him which caused him to have a seizure. They tried everything
they could to bring him back. I am only telling you this because I
have seen you here visiting with him. I am sure you cared for him.
Now, all you can do is pray for strength to get through this.”

I didn’t want to hear anything about
praying. I barely heard anything the nurse had said. I refused to
let my tears fall. I was fucking sick of crying. I thanked the
nurse dryly for the information and walked out of that hospital
with Neko right by my side. We left there even more fucked up than
we had come. We made it to the car and just sat there. I was tired
of death hunting me, chasing me, and silently stalking me. Every
time I thought I was moving ahead, another body dropped. It was
like anyone I cared about was being ripped away from me.

Neko was behind the wheel of the Charger and
was looking in the glove box for the parking ticket. A part of me
was glad he was there because he may not have believed me if he had
not been there to get the news with me. There was no way of finding
out who the “Pajay” bitch was. Everyone who knew of her was dead.
We left the hospital and dove the twenty minutes back to the motel.
I decided to just leave all of the shit behind us. I no longer
wanted to find out who was chasing me. I just wanted to put as many
miles between us and whoever she was.

There was nothing left for us in DC. I never
thought there would come a day when I would be forced out of my
home because of fear. I didn’t know anything about anywhere else.
All I ever knew was DC. Sure I had travelled to other places, and I
loved Jamaica, but DC was home and I had to leave it all behind. I
had to take what I had left and never come back. There was nothing
left to come back to. I simply gave up.

Neko and I pulled into the motel’s little
parking lot. It saddened me to know my last night in the DMV was
going to be like it was. It hurt my heart because I couldn’t even
stay long enough to bury Oscar. I just couldn’t be sure that we
would be safe enough to pay our last respects to him. We would have
to leave in the morning. We would try and get some rest and leave
early, right after the traffic had died down from rush hour.

“So, we are done here huh?” Neko spoke up. I
nodded my head. That was the first thing he had said to me since
learning of Oscar’s death. He got out of the car and walked up the
stairs leading to the second floor landing leading to our
rooms.

I don’t know what made me do what I did
next. I threw the car in reverse before Neko could even disappear
into his room good. I pulled out of the parking lot and headed back
across the bridge. I felt like I had some loose ends to tie up. I
had to get some shit off of my chest. I found myself sitting in
front of Dread’s building even when I knew I should not be there. I
mustered up all the courage I could find and entered his building
for the second time in two days. I hoped he wouldn’t reject me. I
walked the stairs and knocked on the door. I heard him shuffling
around inside.

“Who is it?” He asked from the other side of
the door. I guess he had learned his lesson from just opening the
door and not knowing who was on the other side.

“YaSheema.” I answered.

He opened the door and stepped aside so I
could come inside. I looked around nervously, my eyes silently
asking him were we alone. He closed the door behind us and took a
seat. I stood in place not wanting to get too comfortable because
every time I did in his presence something always happened.

“I didn’t come to stay long. I just wanted
to tell you I was leaving.” The words were barely audible as they
left my lips.

Our eyes met and we didn’t have to say a
word. He knew all I wanted to say and I didn’t have to say one
single word. He may not have loved me, but he would never forget
me. That was for damn sure. I had come into his life and wild shit
had happened. There was no other way to describe it. Not just that
ordinary – boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love shit – either
. He was mystified by me and that made him want to know more. He
feared that knowing too much would get him killed. He stood and I
tensed up believing that he was going to throw me out of his
apartment again. I started moving towards the door.

“You don’t have to put me I out. I just
wanted to tell you I was leaving and I’m sorry. You and NiQue
should try to work pass this shit.”

He stepped in my path before I got to the
door. “I can’t fuck with her YaYa. I was telling her that that day
you came here and ya’ll got to rumbling in my living room. She was
trying to tell me some wild shit about you that I could not
believe. She said you could not be trusted.” He paused waiting for
me to defend myself.

I wanted to, but what was the use if he
didn’t want to deal with me. I was on the run and there was nothing
I could do for him. The most I could do for him was get him
killed.

“I don’t know what it is about you.”

He pulled me close to him and it felt like
time stopped. I didn’t know if that was a good idea knowing we were
saying our final goodbyes. He kissed me. The tension that I was
feeling left. I tried to back away from him.

“Dread, I don’t know if we should do this
again. I am already having a hard time saying goodbye.”

He wrapped his arms around me and stroked my
back. We engaged in a kiss that was so passionate my body was
trying to react and tell him no, but my heart was telling me
something totally different. I couldn’t fight it anymore. I was in
love with him and he was definitely feeling me. He led me to his
bedroom. He undressed me and sat back on the bed.

I don’t know why I felt venerable being
naked in front of him. I had been naked in front of him before but
there was something different about that particular time. It was
like he could see inside me. I had never felt anything like that
before. I was sure that I would never feel that feeling ever again.
I was open and he could have me. He stared at me before beckoning
me to come to him. I walked to him nervously like it was my first
time as he pulled me down on the bed with him. He took off his
shirt and threw it on the floor with my clothes. Dread kissed all
over my body. Sucking and nibbling on my nipples which were hard as
diamonds. He continued to tease my body over and over. He was
touching every inch of me, but the one place I wanted him the most.
It was like he was starting mini fires all over my skin.

When he got to my thighs, I thought I would
cum. Licking, sucking and biting my inner thigh until I just knew
he could feel my heart pounding with insatiable desire. He left a
trail down the other thigh. I bucked at his touch. I wanted to feel
him. That teasing shit was driving me crazy. I couldn’t take it
anymore. I moved from under him and got to work; changing
positions. I straddled across him just so my wet pussy was
positioned right over his dick. I knew that first stroke was going
to send electric waves through me. He could feel my slickness
dripping on his manhood and he hadn’t even stroked the kitty. Not
being able to play a teasing game with him, I eased my chocolate
kiss on him and gasped as he pulled me forward.

Catching a beautiful rhythm like we had been
lovers forever, I placed my hands on his chest and rode out the
wave of ecstasy. It was melodic. I couldn’t do anything but hang
on. My body felt like it was one with his. He caressed my body as
he brought me to another mind shattering orgasm. It was like riding
a rollercoaster where you’re taken to what you thought the highest
of heights and the orgasm was the thrill of dropping off into the
unknown. It was that same feeling, where you are afraid but you
keep riding, you love the feeling of letting go. That’s what I
felt.

He moved me from on top of him and got on
top of me. He re-entered me and I could feel the tears gathering in
the corner of my eyes. I didn’t want him to see me crying over him.
It wasn’t my way. I couldn’t keep the tears in place. They fell
from my eyes and Dread kissed each one that fell, pushing deeper
into me than I thought he could go.
