"Oh so you know where he at?", I asked.
"He want his money, right? Ain't no reason to hide", said Cash.
"Agreed. Let's go", I said as I walked toward the front door.
NAOMI POV.-
The following day, Kayson's mom came to my house and she has Tariq with her.
As Tariq was in the living room watching tv, Kayson's mom and I were in the kitchen talking.
"How you feeling?", she asked.
"I feel...I don't know. Like a failure. I...spend years trying to find the perfect guy and I... after Kayson I just realized that everybody has their flaws and I wasn't careful", I said.
"You can't find out everything about someone in a matter of months", said his mom.
"Yea...but I knew everything I needed to know about one person and I left him..I left him after one mistake and didn't even give him a chance to redeem himself", I said.
"...Kayson?", she asked.
I nod. "But..I messed that up anyway with him because I was angry", I said. "I wanted to blame someone and the person to blame wasn't in front of me."
"I see", said his mom. "So...you want Kayson back?"
"Yes...I don't know", I said. "We've been through a lot and—"
"Things you both can come back from", said his mom.
I look down.
"If we don't get Christina back then I don't know", I said.
"You'll get her back. Just have faith", said his mom."just like you had faith when you were pregnant with her."
"My miracle baby", I said as a tear fell from my eyes.
Suddenly, I get a phone call from Cash.
I look at my phone then answer it.
"Hello?", I said as I walked outside to the backyard.
"Hey, I just wanted to tell you that we give homeboy the money and we should be getting Christina back tonight?", he said.
"Why not now? Wait, let me talk to Kayson", I said.
"Uh he's busy. Look that was just Reese's orders. I guess he has to give them the money first", said Cash.
"I still wanna know who these people are", I said.
"It's him but he bullshittin'. Gotta be him. He the only person that we know that has a problem with Kayson", said Cash.
"I just...I really don't think he's involved in stuff like that.", I said.
"I guess it's good that Kayson and I believe he is since you don't", said Cash.
"...is Kayson actually busy?" I asked.
"Why you ask that?", asked Cash.
"I've been texting him and he has responded", I said.
"Like I said. He has just been busy. Don't worry about it alright?", asked Cash.
"...I know he's mad at me, but this isn't the time to—"
"Look I gotta go. Something just happened", Cash said.
"...okay", I said before hanging up.
KAYSON POV.-
I'm currently driving, listening to Cash's and Naomi's phone conversation.
"Text the woman back", said Cash. "I'm not getting in the middle of this shit bruh."
"She know what's up", I said. "Unless she text or call me about Christina, I told you, it's fuck her. She's not about to trap me again and have me looking stupid."
Cash shakes his head.
"And speaking of Christina, that nigga better bring her safe and sound tonight or I swear I'm going to jail", I said.
"Can I be honest with you bruh?", asked cash.
"What?", I asked.
"I think we did that shot for nothing. Give home the money...I don't think they have her anymore...even your dad said it. They are some ruthless people", said Cash. "You really think we can take their word?"
I didn't say anything.
Suddenly, I get a message on my trap phone.
I look at it to see a video of Christina laying on the floor with her eyes closed.
"Is she dead?"
A see a hand touch her pulse point. "She ain't breathing, no pulse."
I make a face.
"Damn, we forgot to shut the door while trying to whip up a new recipe"
"Well Kayson, sorry we couldnt hold up our end of the bargain. We ain't giving the money back though"
Both guys laughed.
"Ay man get a trash bag and throw it in the la—"
Cash grabs the phone and turns it off.
I couldn't do anything but be silent.
It felt unreal but I saw it with my own eyes.
"Kayson", said Cash.
I didn't answer him.
"Look, I know this is—"
"Man shut up. I put a tracker in the bag with the money in it. We picking Naomi ass up and we going to whatever location it's at", I said.
"She don't need to come", said cash.
"Didn't I tell you to shut the fuck up? Call everybody. It's about to be World War III in this bitch", I said as I sped up.
