Deception

Chapter 3

"Mail time Inmates! Please stand near the door when we pass out your mail. If you miss getting your mail, you will get another chance to receive your mail tomorrow morning. Again, Mail time inmates." That's all you ever hear in the morning when it's time to receive mail, I hardly ever receive mail so I don't care. " Inmate Smith, you have a letter from PCA." I was handed the piece of mail and saw the name on the envelope it was sent from : Skylar Griffin. My face whole face scrunched up with anger. " I can't believe this bitch is still mad about some shit I told her I had nothing to do with" "Pinky, what's wrong? I ain't seen you this mad since I first came in here and you came across that picture of your ex." "No, but I got some mail from an old friend of mine. I feel like when I open this letter it's about to be nothing but bullshit about a situation that happened years ago when I clearly told this bitch I had nothing to do with what happened to her son." Skyler went to prison a few years ago and while she was locked up, I kept her kids. Her oldest son, Prince, ended up being molested by one of my family members. I did feel bad about not initially telling her but I wasn't too sure of it happening myself. I found out it was true right around the time she confronted me about it and said that I was lying and trying to "cover up" for my cousin when in fact I was just as pissed as she was. She tried her hardest to press charges against me and my cousin. After that whole fiasco, She moved up north and I never heard from her again until now. "Honey, I'll explain what happened and why she's so mad at me at a later time but now let me read this letter she sent.

Dear Daija, 

How are you doing? Fine I hope. I'm writing you this letter to let you know your daughters might be in danger. I recently started working for Pennsylvania Children's Advocacy and discovered A'Yoni and Delena's case file and things aren't looking too good. I hope you didn't think this letter was about the situation with Prince. I realized after I moved away you were telling the truth the whole time and I do apologize about that. I know I told you to never speak to me again but I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I want to meet with you at visitation someday to talk about your daughters. I can't disclose too much information at this time but all I can say at the moment is Darryl no longer has custody of the girls, the state does....."

"What the fuck she mean the state got my kids? Which state has my kids??????" I was so mad I couldn't finish the rest of the letter. How irresponsible can be to allow the state to come take my children away. This is exactly why I wanted my mother to have custody of them to begin with. I immediately started to write a letter back to Skyler with an explanation and details about visitation info.

Dear Skyler, 

I'm doing well, Just praying I get out soon. I read your letter and I will accept your apology about Prince. You know I would never do something so nasty and low-down like that. I was hurt when you thought I covered up for my cousin when in reality I had just confirmed my suspicion when I noticed Prince was acting weird towards my cousin when I kept them while you were away. I'm glad to hear you've changed your life around and got yourself a real job working for the Government but how did you find out that my girls aren't with their father anymore? My Mom said that he married someone and she believes the new wife had something to do with the girls not being able to see my family since he had custody. Hopefully we can continue to reach out to each other and communicate. I really missed you Sky. 

Sincerely, 

Pinky"

I'm really starting to become worried now that I know my babies are in foster care and the stories I heard from Sky, Foster Care is scary and you have to be on your p's and q's at all times. I just pray my babies are safe and ok but I have so many questions for Darryl. If only I had a way to contact him.......
