Jovan (^) POV
"All these machines they got you hooked up to and you're still so beautiful. I was a fool to not be paying attention to you. All of this is my fault. I'm so sorry baby girl. I promise you no harm will ever come to you again. I got this play I'm tryna make for us. If all goes well, We gone be sitting on a bunch more money. On some real luxury living type shit. Look I gotta get going. I gotta take a 2 day trip. But I promise you ima be back. That's a guarantee no doubt about it. And as soon as I get back we gonna leave okay?"
I gave her a kiss on her cheek and left the hospital. Shit been hard without her but I got us. We all we got now.
Immediately after leaving the hospital, I went straight to the private airfield I fly with. There was a jet waiting to take me to Cuba. I had to expand my drug business and fast. So I arranged a meeting with a Haitian Drug Lord Named Emmanuel. After landing at La Habana Private airfield I wasted no time heading to Emmanuel's Estate. As I approached the gate, I was pat down a total of four times by guards.
"Jay! Jis nonm sa a mwen te vle wè."
{Jay! Just the man I wanted to see}
"Ki jan ou fè Emmanuel. Sa fè lontan nou pa wè"
{How you doing Emmanuel?! Long time no see}
"Se konsa, mwen tande ou vle pale biznis"
{So, I hear you want to talk business}
"Avèk respè, Emmanuel. Se ou menm ki vle pale biznis"
{Respectfully, Emmanuel. It's you who want to talk business}
Immediately, his many guards cocked their weapons, pointing them straight at me.
"Mwen envite ou lakay mwen. Epi ou derespekte m 'pa fondamantalman di mwen bezwen ou. Mwen espere ke ou pa espere m 'kite ou mache soti isit la ak tout dwèt ou ak zòtèy"
{ I invite you to my home, and you disrespect me by basically saying I need you. I hope you don't expect me to let you walk out of here with all of your fingers and toes}
"Gade, ale pi devan ak pòp koupe tou sa manm ou vle pran. Men, li toujou konn chanje lefèt ke mwen gen rezon e ou konnen li. Kaka ap cheche isit la nan Kiba. Ou bezwen ekspansyon sa a menm jan ak mwen. Mwen te gen koneksyon Nan Houston, Florid, Cali ak Washington. Avèk pwodwi ou ak kapasite mwen pou avanse pou pi pwa byen vit, mwen panse ke nou ta dwe gwo patnè."
{Look, go ahead and pop off whatever limb you want to take. But it still wont change the fact that Im right and you know it. Shit is getting dry out here in Cuba. You need this expansion just as much as I do. I got connections In Houston, Florida, Cali and Washington. With your product and my ability to move weight quickly, I think we'd be great partners.}
He sat there for all of 2 minutes before speaking again.
"Oke. Ou ka kenbe dwèt ou ak zòtèy ou yo. Ou kapab tou di moun ou an kòmanse prepare pou yon chajman aswè a 2.5 mil vo nan pwodwi pou chak eta. Si ou osi bon jan ou di ou se, mwen ta dwe gen lajan mwen nan yon mwa. Si ou pa, Oke ..."
{Okay. You can keep your fingers and toes. You can also tell your man to start preparing for a shipment tonight 2.5 mil worth of product for each state. If you as good as you say you are, I should have my money in a month. If not, Well...}
"Mwen pèdi dwèt mwen ak zòtèy dwa?"
{I lose all of my fingers and toes right?}
We laughed and chopped it up a bit more before I headed back to the jet. I had one more place to be before I headed back.
After pulling up to the address I entered into the gps, I walked up to the door and knocked.
There she was. As beautiful as ever. It's been so long since I've seen her and my niece.
"UNCLE JOE-V!!" Liz yelled as she ran into my arms........
