Sage POV
This chapter is mostly flashbacks.
3 weeks later

"Oh my goodness y'all got so chunky!" I smiled, placing a little hat on Myas head. I could finally take them home, but it didn't feel right. I still didn't feel right.
"I can't wait to drop this lil boy." Ash sighed, while getting Makenzie dressed in her matching onesie.
I had her come help me getting them ready to leave.
I sat Mya in her car seat and did the same for Makenzie, strapped them up and grabbed Kenzies car seat. Ash grabbed Myas and we went out to my car.

"So they told you anything else about Mekai?" She asked while we got them situated in the car.
"Nope." I sighed, and kissed Kenzies forehead.
Mekai was in jail for the 4th time, but this time I don't know if he's getting out. They finally caught up with him while we were at the store, and thank God the kids weren't with us.

FLASHBACK

I picked up a pack of baby bottles and arranged stuff in the cart.
"Do we have everything?" I asked and he nodded slowly.
"Man," He chuckled.
"We forgot a stroller, how we supposed to carry 2 car seats at once?" He asked and I sighed, before pushing the cart towards the strollers.
"I like this." I pointed at the twin stroller and he looked at the box, before typing on his phone.

"Hell nah, my daughters ain't gon roll around in this flimsy ass shit. They saying this bitch fall apart." He scoffed and I laughed. We finally decided on one and all that was left was little extra stuff.
We picked up some clothes, bibs, pacifiers and other little things. We walked to self checkout and in walked 4 police officers.
They walked up to us and of course, drew attention.
"Mekai Brown?" The white officer said looking up mfrom a paper. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Mekai.

"Nah, wrong person." He shrugged and kept scanning stuff.
They started getting in his face and shoving the paper in his face.
"Bitch that's not me!" He yelled pushing the officers off him, and they immediately tackled him to the ground. I was panicking and people started crowding us.
"Get off my fucking neck!" He choked out and I started crying, while calling Meijai. For some reason, I felt like he would help me out.

"Please get off him!" I cried and they cuffed him.
"Stop resisting, bitch!" The same white officer yelled, kneeling into his back. Of course Mekai looks threatening. His dreads were always hanging, his hands are always in his pockets, he has a natural mean mug and he just looks scary. He's the complete opposite.
"Nigga I can't fucking breathe, the fuck?" He snapped, which just made it worse. I started recording and begging them to get off him.
Everyone around us was yelling, recording and some crying. Especially the kids.

They finally let him up and he stumbled onto his feet.
"Sage bruh-" He started but was cut off when they shoved him out the sliding doors.

FLASHBACK OVER

I sighed and continued driving home. I hated everything about that, and what I hate even more is that they won't even give him a trial. Everyone in the system is racist, and because of that they let black people suffer. They barley took him in for questioning and immediately locked him up with no evidence.
I'm not saying he didn't do it, but come on now.
They're supposed to be injecting him in a few months, so now it's just a waiting game.

I pray every day that they just let him out, no questions asked.
I pray that he's okay.

Unknown POV

"Okay, thank you Aliyah." I smirked and hung up the phone. Everything was working out perfectly. Nobody will suspect shit. All I have to do is get Sage. I need that woman.
I've loved her for over 6 years, but she's never given me the time of day. They've ruined everything for me. They've killed my uncle, my homie and my cousin. I thought I got rid of his ass, but I guess not.

"Aaron, where is this bitch with my weed?" I slammed my hands on the desk.
"Boss, Mekai said-"
"Wait, Mekai?" I said, my mouth basically on the ground.
"Yes. That's our supplier, we always saying his name but I assume you never paying attention. He told me he would have his brother make the shipment but we never got it. That isn't my fault." Aaron shrugged and I leaned back in my chair.

"I want him dead." I stated and he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Over some weed bitch?" He raised his eyebrows.
"It's deeper than this, him and I got history. I hate him," I started, kissing my teeth.
"He has everything I want. The girl, the money, the family. Everything. I can't stand him and this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of him." I added and he nodded.
"Can't you get Jamie to deal with this?" He sighed and I chuckled.

"That bitch won't even hold a gun. Do the job or I kill you. Deal?" I asked. He sighed and nodded, before giving me a dap.
"Deal." He said.

FLASHBACK OVER

I called the one person I could trust.
"Hello?" She said.
"Wassup K, I need a favor." I said, pulling on my beard.
"For?" She giggled.
"Do you remember Sage Bryant?" I asked.
"Of course, how would I forget her?" She chuckled.

"Kamia, I need you to listen. I need to find her. Mekai is acting like a shield for her. He's killed my cousin. He killed my basically brother and he killed my uncle. I can't let her go. This works for both of us, but we have to wait. Wait for her to bail him out. Let it happen, then you can have him and I can have her. Deal?" I said all at once.

"It's a deal, Drake." She replied.
