Chapter 10
Listen, you gotta let me go! Marcus walked into the van driver's face, invading his personal space and making him uncomfortable with his ice grill stare.
Adam?
He held the lantern to his family imprisoned behind bars in the back of the cave.
Marium! The driver ran to the jail cell, shaking steel bars embedded in rock.
Let my family out... NOW!
You let my family out, and I will release yours. Marcus said calm and unflinching
You gotta be kidding me, you act like I can just waltz them up out the front door nigga.
How the hell did Deveraux get out?
Ask him he would have been detected when I went in and out there has to be a reason why he is not detected.
My brother is not going back and that's final.
Yes I am Adam and Uncle Marcus. Im in love and grandad and Madea and Mom and dad how can we just forget about them?
Is that what you think I did baby bro?
No, Adam of course not If you left its for good reason and the elders know and they arent telling us why. Up until yesterday, I never knew I had a brother Adam.
How'd you find out? Marcus and Adam looked at the van driver upset.
Don't ask no questions of us little nigga. Adam cocked his gun pointing it at his child.
Oh, you a child killer now huh man?
I will be if you don't bring me my fucking family.
Adam calm down please nephew.
Listen I'm going back to get Halo and see if there is a way I can get anyone else out.
Can't do that, they may be detectable at the dimension exit gate.
Well you're gonna try nigga and that's all.
The four men walked to the main road. The van driver smiled. My van!
How'd you get it? I had someone get it before the police arrived.
Adam stared as the driver got in the front seat changing his clothes. Adam stared at Deveraux.
I know you're scared Adam but its going to be okay. Dr. king is scared and he is leading our people to freedom little by little. Marcus looked at him then Adam who said nothing.
Come on Unk lets get a pic for the family album. Adam smiled. Adam took out his phone as the men took a pic with a green picturesque background. Adam grinned look Unk the resistance. Marcus cried hugging his nephews. I thought id never see any of my family again. God answers prayers.
What is that Adam?
Ummm a prototype camera. The company pays me to test new items, Deveraux.
Cool. Adam slipped in the back of the van under the tarp. I programmed my number in your phone under tity bar bitch and you better call today when you leave or your kid wont eat until you do.They eat, they drink only if you call. If not well they starve. Oh... and you work for us now whatever my brother needs you'll get it.
How!?
Thats your fucking problem. If any of our people die, so do you... and we will save you for last. Have a safe trip, Adam added sarcastically.
Hey, sorry about all this, man.
Yeah, whatever, Deveraux.
How do you do it? Know what's going on, and you refuse to help us?
Yeah Deveraux? I see you all on acres of land as promised living within mansions on horse ranches and beautiful farms . All meats are organic and farm raised on pesticide free grass. YIt is simple as that! ou have beautiful women and clothing and free medical care. Yeah, Deveraux, I see what's going on.
So you don't see that the management is holding your people.... black people in captivity? We can not leave the estate Driver! We cant walk off and go to a picture show or to the mall or grab a hot dog and pop of go to the tity bar even though we are married! Yeah we have all that in a pretty little prison they've built in another dimension! We are captives! Slaves! It is simple as that!
