The Plug Son Part 3

Malaysia

It has been 2 days since the bail hearing and Lori and Malaya have been gone the whole time. I'll call and check in with them but that's it. I wish my sister would talk to me about this.

"Laysia you want some pizza?" Latrell said standing at my bedroom door

"No I'm fine. Thanks." I said

"What's wrong?" He asked

"I don't like that Malaya not talking to me about anything she doing. Like Lori is not your sister." I said

"Maybe it's for a good reason." He said

"I don't care about that. I don't have my parents, I have one brother out right now and my aunt isn't speaking to us. I feel like all of my family is gone." I said

"Malaysia it's only been 2 days." He said

"And I've been gone from them for months. I get to spend maybe 2 weeks with them before they all leave me?" I said

"You know they didn't mean for this to happen like this." He said

"I just... I just feel like it's selfish." I said

"What is?" He asked

"Them still trafficking drugs. We have so much money that my great grandchildren won't have to work so why not stop? It's just being greedy." I said

"I don't think it's selfish. They just keeping a steady income." He said

"Did you not hear me say we have enough money? They could have been stopped but they wanted to keep doing what they do knowing them getting arrested could have been a possibility." I said

"Well at least your parents tried. Your complaining about how your parents get their money but look at how y'all living? Your bedroom is bigger than my house. Y'all have a bowling ally downstairs. It's a Bentley in y'all's garage. I know you upset but look at this outcome." He said

"It's not about the money. I don't have my parents right now. I've never been independent. My whole life I've had them to fall back on and now I have nobody." I said

"You got me, your sister, Marcus, Jalen and Mike." He said

"Neither of y'all are my parents." I said

"Malaysia where's the key to mama room?" Malaya said popping in my room.

"Where've you been?" I asked her.

"Where's the key?" She repeated

"I'm not telling you where the key at until you tell me where you've been." I said

"I've been learning to shoot and shit now where the key?" She said

"Why do you need to learn how to shoot?"

"I'll just break in." She said walking away. I got off my bed and followed her.

"Malaysia you need to listen to Aunt Mila and let them handle this." I said

"What have they been doing Malaya? Nobody been doing shit but me and Lori." She said stopping and turning to me

"I can help but you won't even tell me what you're doing." I said

"You just said to let them handle it so I'm not going to tell you because you're just going to be on their side." She said

"If you about to do some stupid shit you need to think about it. Malaya we aren't built like that." I said

"No you aren't built like that." She said

"So I'm weaker than you?" I said

"Laysia you can't fight." She said
