It was around seven in the morning when I woke up for the second time, and thankfully, Iverson was in my arms in a deep sleep. I grabbed my phone and I checked the weather today, it was going to be a cool, sunny, and breezy Autumn day. Even though it was a beautiful day outside, I felt the storm clouds brewing over Iverson and I. We were going through a crisis, but we did our very best to play it all off... but I realized that we are definitely in a fucking crisis. We were in Jackson, not for fun... not to have a good time... not to play... but to handle business, to make sure that we covered all our tracks because I murdered a guy that almost murdered Iverson... This could easily be contested as self-defense in court, but who would want to go through that? Who would want to go through the US Justice system as a black man, in the southern state of Mississippi? Not me! And I damn sure would not want to put Iverson through any of that either, being an immigrant to this country, I am sure he had run-ins with Systemic racism that plagues this country. I would not want him to deal with the justice system head-on and face systemic racism head-on... Even though he was sneaking around and shit in the wee hours of the morning, I loved him and I protected him with my all... Even though he was sneaking around, and keeping secrets, I have my ways... Of finding out information, and getting what I want. Not to be rude or anything, but Iverson is not a native southerner, I am... and he is playing the game on MY court... and I have a competitive advantage.

"Good Morning," Iverson whispered as he stretched while I held him in my arms.

"Good Morning Handsome." I smiled as the sunlight streamed in between the curtains.
