Part II
I got home and had a hot shower before calling Brian to discuss strategy.
‘So what do we do?’ Brian was on my couch beer in one hand and a pizza in the other.
‘I tried fucking with the bitch but it didn’t work’
‘You WHAT?’ he shouted spitting pizza on the floor
‘You heard me man. Clean that shit up!’ I replied laughing
‘Honestly dude, if dick didn’t work then I think we need re-enforcement’
‘Who you gonna call?’
‘Give me a few minutes. I’ll make a few calls’
I picked up my phone and called Kelly to let her know that I’m trying my best to locate Kerri on my own. She stayed at their place in case Kerri’s kidnappers called. I sighed wanting to tell her that wasn’t going to happen.
‘Aight we need to be at the Park in 5 minutes. Let’s bounce’ Brian yelled from the front door. I grabbed my phone and rode shotgun in the car while Brian drive too fast as usual. ‘I’d like to save Kerri man, not have her bury me!’
‘Well if we don’t hurry she WILL bury you’
I looked at him and he looked straight ahead seriously. Sighing I looked outside and thought of Kerri.
I hope you ok girl.
‘We’re here. Come with me’
‘man who we meeting?’
‘A friend. Just let me do the talking and no matter what DON’T interfere’
‘What the hell man?’
‘You heard me John. Keep your mouth shut or else we don’t meet’
‘Fine’
We walked to a bench and sat down while Brian sent a text. Some girls passed by and he made a pass at them getting ones number. ‘Ha, I got me some meat for tonight!’
I rolled my eyes but couldn’t help but grin.
‘Still the pussy chaser I see’
Brian stopped laughing immediately. I looked up and saw thigh high boots to a white leather jacket to a girl’s face. I looked over at Brian and he gave me a look that I knew meant shut up.
‘Sup babe!’ he hugged the girl and she hugged him back smiling at me.
‘You serious about what you said on the phone Bri?’
‘Yeah, this my boy John and it’s his girl we worried about. She’s also his pregnant girl’
‘Word? I never thought they’d stoop that low’
‘So you think there’s more to what I told you or is that it?’
She sat down next to me and rubbed her chin, ‘there’s more. Otherwise it would be just her’
I watched them go back and forth while I tried to figure out what they were talking about. ‘Ok Bri, introduce me properly’
‘You’re in then?’
‘You bet baby’
He looked at me and laughed. ‘Bet you thought we were meeting some thugs!’ He sat down and looked at me serious now, ‘this is one of the only women I trust apart from my mum. Now I know you know that mean something special because I don’t go around trusting females. This right here is Taheeri. She’s a killer so be careful around her’
I shook her hands she winked at me. ‘Nice to meet you John. Here’s what I can do for you’
I looked at her and she smiled before talking, ‘I know Sasha. We go way back. Just after you and her split and I think you did the right thing. She bumped into me at the Boss’s place and we became friends. We became filthy rich together and then she decided to become too bitchy and greedy. I left her and she hates me for it but I’m closer to the Boss and she won’t dare come for me’
I blinked a couple of times not believing her. ‘Are you for real?’
‘Deadly real John. Sasha wants you that’s true. She has talked about you non-stop for that past couple of years; but there’s more to it than that. The Boss is mad at her. He knows Sasha has been scamming him. She’s not paying up like before and she living in mansions and driving Range Rovers. You see I told you I’m closer to the Boss then she is. I’m his daughter’
‘Word? I knew he had a daughter, but I thought he’d keep you away from this’
‘Me and my daddy are all we got since my mum died of Cancer when I was 3. I’ve seen him kill since I was 6. Never looked back after that. Held my first gun by 10 years old’
‘Ok, so how does this help me?’
‘I know Sasha’s toy boy. His name is Trey. I also know that he don’t want no part of her shit. He dated Kerri years ago and she caught him fucking Sasha so she left him for Trevor. In time you will see how all the players on the chess board are related somehow. I can’t tell you everything now, but know this. I’m on your side here and that’s a good thing’
She patted my shoulder and I nodded talking in everything she just said to me. When she got up to leave I stood up too. ‘No, you stay here. I’ll be in touch’ she kissed Brian’s cheeks and walked away.
‘But…Brian I’m lost here’
‘Trust me man. If anyone can get to Kerri it’s Taheeri’
‘Aight, I trust you man. I trust you’
