Aaron's POV*

"Mi know you out a eh country and ting" Brains says on the phone

"What is it?" I ask in a solemn tone

"Sniper have man pon every block a look fi Cheese" He says

"Like a curfew dem set, Nobody nuh deh pon eh road after four, nobody cyah come out a dem house and if dem have places fi go or a come from work, Sniper man dem a search all phone"

"Eeeh" I say before chuckling

"Nuh make Cheese know bout this enuh cause mi know him a go make a fucked up move and later from this it's going to be a blood bath" He says

"When me land, mi nuh wah see nuh man inah me place. Make it be known" I say, trying to wrap up this conversation

It's upsetting

"Member say a snip-"

"Let. It. Be. Known." I say before hanging up

Fuck Sniper.
Him a move like him nav no sense....

It has come to my realization that Sniper is not who every one thinks he is. Him deh a Town a push badness, then when badness reach him, him a set curfew fi one man?

This could end his life in the blink of an eye.

Him nuh militant.
A fool.
Him run Mobay and him likkle scooby dem.

Cyah come yasso come lock in everybody.

Everyone have rights.

Then again, this should be the polices job.

Most likely them a work wid him or dem a hide.

The Jamaican system is so fucked.

I sigh before looking down at the lawn.

I'm on the balcony, thinking

Nuh underestimate nuh man.
Says my subconscious

Trust yuh first instinct.

I search for Saeed's contact before pressing the phone at my ear

"Yes boss"

"Time is now" I say before hanging up

Saeed is my assassin.
Best shooter.

He's in L.A but whenever I'm about to enter into something I have no idea about he flies down and no matter where I'm at, him and his men are always dressed as homeless or business men.

Professional.

Nine and the others could do it but dem ramp too much.
Mi need a clean fucking sweep.....

If it leads to that

I hear her breathing behind me

Fuck.

I turn around and she's standing with her arms folded

"What was that about?" She asks

"How much yuh hear?"

"My boss died. He was shot and killed because he refused to let a man that is not a cop tell him when to leave his house. Do you know anything about that?" She asks

"No"

"You're lying" She tells me

"I am not" I say before putting the phone in my pocket and walking pass her

"Aaron" She stops me and I look at her

"What?"

"What do you know" She asks

A police?

I hiss before walking off
"A tonight we a leave?" I ask

She doesn't respond

I glance at her and she's standing at the doorway with her arms folded and a pout

"Fix yuh face"

"Do you have anything to do with it?" She continues to drag it

I exhale "Kenya where did he get shot?"

"At his h-" I cut her off

"And where am I right now?"

"Ar-"

"So why you a ask if me have something fi do with it?" I ask and she goes silent

"Ok" She simply says before walking off to finish packing

Now she's upset.
I exhale before looking over at her and I walk out of the room before calling Brains

"Me have Kenya wid me. Make eh man dem meet me a the airport" I tell him as soon as he answers

"Nuh say a word"

I walk back in the room and she's on the phone

"So a that yuh couldn't tell me Candice?"

Jah know
Mi did really a hope say Candice continue keep quiet enuh

"Yeah, me a go finish pack up. When me reach down me call yuh. Please answer yuh phone, I was worried sick" She says and I hiss under my breath

....

We're on the plane and she hasn't said a word to me.

She's still upset but for what?

"Yuh hungry?" I ask and she shakes her head no

"Wah yuh eat from day?"

"I'm ok" She replies in a nonchalant tone

She's sitting in front of me, on her phone and I take it out of her hand, putting it beside me

She glares at me and I pat my lap, Indicating that she should sit on it

"What do you want?" She asks

"Sit" I demand

She frowns before getting up to sit on my leg and I move her closer, my left hand is now stretched around her waist

"Mi wah talk to yuh" I say and she stays silent

"Some things a take place right now and me a go need yuh fi stay in a the house until it deal with. Yuh cyah go work and yuh mother affi go stay a little longer. It nuh suppose to take long if all go well but I highly doubt it"

"Mhmmm" She hums in response and I change my tone

This is serious.

"Kenya look pon me"

She sighs before turning her head
"Mi hear wah yuh say" She says in a calm tone and my face softens

"Why are you upset?" I ask

She smacks her lips
"Mi good" She says before trying to get up and I hold her down

"Me ask a question" I say serious tone

"And I answered" She says with attitude and I narrow my eyes

"How old are you?" I ask and she sighs

I wrap my fingers around her throat
"Stop move like ya likkle pickney" I tell her and her legs tighten.

I chuckle before letting her go

Kenya's POV*

All wah gwan a shame me shame.
Shame a kill me!

He really did not have to act the way he did this morning.

I was curious because of his phone call.

Chro
Right now me not even in a no mood.

It's obvious that something serious is happening

Candice finally called back and Aaron has been very sneaky with his phone calls.

I can't go to work.
Not that I was supposed to go this week.
My boss is dead

I shouldn't leave the house and Aaron's face is as calm as if nothing is happening.

It's so frustrating

Is this what I really want?

Yes.
But I just don't want to be in the shadows.

I need to know why.

Why must I stay in?
Why can't I go to work?
What the fuck is happening?
