This man partnered with my family and built a damn good business with the shipping containers. All nine lined out on the property grandma didn't build a wall around. I was surprised at first as my small bar was taken down from the gate and moved into one of the containers. The lane has became a hit spot as many didn't need to go to the main road to buy groceries, gas, cook food, liquor and may others. Taxi started coming into the lane to look for passengers and I couldn't believe all these changes.

People started asking about renting an apartment but for now it was only opened for the workers doing ground work.

The meeting with the government and the law continued. However, Max and his team or law firm were great at their job with provided the documents and journal I had in the old trunk. We were way ahead in leading, recovering all the remaining properties that was rightfully ours. It began with trustworthy friends and family deceiving us as they cheated and got the property. Out of everyone, Dada was the only one who had rightfully owned it since my great grand father sold it to his.

Everything else was settled, I was living good as Sister Patsy and I took care of Mama. My parents visited once in a while, as well as Stephen's family and friends.

Stephen on the other hand was here one minute then gone the next. He was back at doing his job but haven't been the same at being out at every event or late nights. Most nights we were on the phone talking or texting for hours and the next, he was asleep.

I had an issue as I was awaiting him to return as he said he would. It was hard for anyone to study his movements, whether he was here or not. So when I went to drop off some stuffs needed for the bar that Chelsea is running for me, I didn't expect a robbery. No one expected it and the two men held her and another guy at gun point. I had to lock the car door and stay hidden on the floor of the backseat.

Still, theses people underestimated Stephen as he had people on guard, plenty. He always does. People who they least expected like drunk Johnny and farmer Brown. I was protected, shots were fired and the robbers were captured and tied up. Exposing their identity was shocking as it was people from a couple communities over.

No one expected Stephen to show up and he checked on me worriedly before he approached the men.

Whomever the person was that just fussed over me being safe, he was gone. The man was replaced by something worst than what I've seen in the ice-cream parlor three months ago. That man I did not know and he surprised everyone including me.

Dada and farmer Brown got help and had tied both men together around the light post. So when Stephen opened his truck and pulled out a tool box, I shivered as if watching a scary movie.

"Oye! Ease up nuh." He rushed the crowd and few scurried away. Just his glare alone would scare anyone.

He approached the two men and said nothing as he stared at their faces. We could hear the police sirens in the distant but it seems slow. We could only hear the sound of metal shuffling around but no one expected it to be bullets. This man loaded the gun and shot both men in their hands.

I almost fell on my ass and my cousin held me up. Stephen did so with no emotions then he closed the tool box and turned to the crowd with the gun still in hand.

"Mek this be a fucking lesson to everybody. Mih nuh come from bou yah and mih nuh ramp wid anything related to wifey. Enjoy all this luxury before it over but if yuh don't spread word then blood go continue spill."

He looked at me then at the two police vehicles and three solder jeeps driving into the area as the crowd cleared the way. They approached Stephen as they exchanged few words then dealt with both men.
