I looked at him suspiciously thinking maybe he did something stupid to get the $350K .
Me: What did you do?
Julian: *looking nervous* I ummh ... nothing baby don't worry .
Me: Julian don't play with me ... What did you do?
Julian: You'll be ashamed of me if I tell you...
Me: Just tell me ...
Julian: Ok.. Tim sent me to these guys he said that could lend me the money and I kind of told them I would pay them last night but you know what happened ... So uhh now he's looking for me .
Me: Soo.... Basicly what you're saying is that you borrowed money from a drug dealer ...?
Julian: I don't know ... He just had alotta money and he didn't seem like the type to deal drugs .
Me: Julian that was a stupid move! Why the fuck would you do something like that?! How do you know what he did to get all of that money?! He probably killed a few people, robbed a few banks , and dealing weed you never fucking know and you go do this shit . I thought you was smarter than that .
Julian didn't say anything . I could tell he felt bad but I wasn't having it . It was time for me to play a few man roles since HE wasn't doing it .. I told him to get dress and we left the hospital . I dropped him off at my job with Haley and went to an ammunition shop. Yes, I went to buy a gun ... or two .
Gunkeeper: Ma'am what can I help you with ?
Me: What's some common sort of small guns you carry?
He pulled out a suit case with tiny guns and then medium sized guns . I picked up the one that look like I could handle .
Gunkeeper: You sure you can handle that?
Me: Just because I'm a woman , doesn't mean I can't handle a 9mm . I know how to shoot . Have many times before in my past .
Gunkeeper: *thinking I'm a killer or something* Ok ok , I'm sorry . I'll just give you a box of bullets*
He was nervous I could tell . He had small beams of sweat on his forehead and he shook trying to ring up the items .
Gunkeeper: That'll be $150 , ma'am ..
I heard him but my focus was on the man looking at the guns on the wall . He picked up a gun and brought it to the register .
Mysterious man: How much for this AK ?
Gunkeeper: $200
He had tattoos on his arm saying killer and one that had the numbers 187 . He had 3 tear drops on his face . Yeah , he has done some time . I gave the gunkeeper my money and grabbed the gun and bullets and left . As I drove back to my job, I thought about this whole situation . How dangerous this could be and how people could get hurt and Julian just didn't think of it that way . So I hid the gun in the back of my skirt under my suit jacket . I locked up my car and walked through the doors . Julian was sleeping on the sofa in the lobby. I called Haley in my office and she closed the door . I opened my volt under my chair in the floor under a secret tile and grabbed 350K . I placed the gun and the money on my desk.
Haley: What you gonna do with that? *points to the gun*
Me: Use it if I have to .
Haley: Are you sure about this?
Me: I never had to do nothing like this ever in my life .
Haley: This is dangerous .
Me:*looks at her* VERY dangerous.
Haley: So what are you gonna do?
Me: Give Julian the money to take to this guy so won't nobody get hurt . And I won't have to use this. *picks up the gun and starts loading it*
Haley: Just don't point that damn thing over here .
Me: *laughs* I got you .
I heard a voice of a man . I crept to my door with the gun and opened it softly . Julian was on the phone .
** Julian's Point Of View**
Me: Hello ? *nervous*
Killer Ke'il: Nigga you got my fuckin money?
Me: Uhh , well umm-
Killer Ke-il: Nigga I don't play about my fuckin' money . I told yo ass you had a hour to bring me my money or else you a dead man .
Me: I was in the hospital and-
Killer Ke'il: This little pussy ass bitch got excuses . Save that shit for your funeral . I know where yo bitch work at . Say nomore. *hangs up*
At this point, I don't know what to do . All because I wanted to do drugs .. Now look at me . I'm a junkie, I have no money, I owe the IRS, my business is close to being shut down . I've ruined my life. I might ad well kill myself . Tears came down my face as I sat there holding my phone . Then Rein came out to comfort me .
** Back To Me Again**
Me: What he say Julian?
Julian: I'm a dead man . I was supposed to had paid him an hour ago.
Me: Are you bullshittin me?
Julian: Their coming here . To get us.
Me: WHAT?!
I had to think fast . How the fuck did they know where I work ?!
Me: C'mon you two, we gotta go .
I grabbed the money, put it in a bag and left. We got in my car and fled .
Me: Julian call him back and gimme the phone .
Julian: *dials number and hands me the phone*
Killer Ke'il: Don't be calling me if you don't have my mon-
Me: Look we got your money. Just meet me at La Plaza in 5 minutes.
Killer Ke'il: Ahh he got his bitch handling his work because he ain't man enough . Ha ite bet .
By the time I got there he was standing on the backside in the ally . I went to talk to him and left Julian in the car with the money. When I got up close, this was the same guy from the Ammo Shop earlier! I was surprised but played it cool .
Killer Ke'il: Mmh you look familiar . *licks his lips*
Me: Yeah well I got your money.
Killer Ke'il: Where is it ?
Me: Before I give it to you , I just want you to leave us alone after this.
Killer Ke'il: We'll see .
Me: Follow me.
I walked back to the car and got in. Julian rolled down his window and handed him the bag of money .
Killer Ke'il: Nice doing business with you , Julian .
Julian: Yeah whatever . *nervous*
Killer Ke'il: You'll be back to me before you know it.
Julian: I'm never getting back on that stuff again.
We drove off . Julian seemed scared instead of relieved . I thought I did him a favor, but after what he did he just wrotw himself a death sentence ....
