Reaching For The Trigger

Chapter Twenty-Four

Do you think Quincy and Lelani will get back together?

________________________________

We walked down the hall to the elevator and I got nervous. I could feel my hands getting sweaty and my knees trembling.

"Whats wrong?", Quincy asked.

"I'm a little nervous", I said then I wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans.

"Calm down just act natural", he said.

"Whats the plan?", I asked.

"You will go down first and then you will call me and tell me that its safe.", he explained.

"Ok", I said. I pushed the elevator button and waited for it to come up. The elevator came and I got on. I stared at Quincy until the doors blocked my sight from him. I pushed the floor 1 button and hoped that no one else would get on. I turned around and looked over the city through the back of the glass elevator. I heard the elevator bing and the doors open. I turned around and got off but I stood outside the elevator trying to control my nerves. I got myself together and began walking towards the front door. Police were everywhere and I did my best to not look at them. I got to the front doors and tried opening it but it wouldn't open.

"HEY YOU", someone yelled.

I turned around saw a cop coming towards me.

"How are you doing?", he asked.

"I'm doing fine", I said trying to deepen my voice like a dude.

"Have you seen or heard anything suspicious in this building?", he asked.

"No, actually", I said.

"Well if you hear anything give me a call", he said and then handed me a card.

I turned around and began fighting with the door again.

"Oh by the way your suppose to pull the door", he said.

"Oh thank you", I said. I stood outside the building and called Quincy.

"Hello", he said.

"Its safe", I said.

"Cool I'm coming now", he said.

I looked around and saw a bench. I sat in the bench and waited for Quincy to come. A bunch of investigators and police were walking by me so I held my head down so they couldn't see my face.

"Lets go", I heard Quincy say.

"Where are we going?", I asked.

"I got a escalade parked across the street", he pointed to a white escalade.

I followed him across the street to the truck. We both jumped in and took off.

"Now where are we going?", I asked.

"Atlanta", he said.

"Do you have a house in every state?", I asked.

"Pretty much I have to make sure my drugs make it all over", he said.

"You know what I realized?", I asked.

"What?"

"You never do your drug business around me", I said.

"I don't want to get you involved", he said.

"Like that hasn't happened", I said.

"I didn't plan for any of this", he said.

"How do I know that?", I asked, "How do I know that you didn't set this up to kill me or something?"

"I'm sorry OK", he said,"Why would I set this up, you think I got shot for fake?"

"I don't know....you acted like you couldn't go to the hospital cause you wanted Dr.Kristina", I said, "How do I know she ain't a fake doctor?"

"You right but all of this is real this is too much to set up if I wanted to kill you I would have did it when I first met you.", he explained.

"Ok", I said.

"OH SHIT", Quincy yelled.

"Whats wrong?", I asked.

"We got company", I said.
