I'm driving all the way to Oakland to the trap house. Well Elisa's doing all the driving but I will be doing the questions and somebody will answer. Those boys aren't just trap Niggahs like Cardo says they are. He said Cyrus was just a trap Niggah and he turned out to be his brother. We make it there in record time and I direct her to the trap house and when we pull up I take a deep breath and secretly put the gun in my purse.
I look over at her and she gets in a parking space. Her hand is shaking like crazy. "Hey, I'll be out as quick as possible. If I call you then something's wrong and I need you to grab the gun under the seat and make sure bullets are in it. Then I want you to bust in and start shooting at the ceiling. Then at a body if they try to shoot you." She looks at me wide eyed before nodding.
I get out slowly with my purse and walk up to the door. I don't bother knocking so I just come through the door and everyone freezes. "I'm calling a meeting everyone in the office now." I say as I walk towards the office that is locked. I pull out my key and unlock it and step into the spacious room that should be a ball room. I sit on top of the desk as they all file in one after another.
When they all get in I look them all in the eyes and look at my nails. They look a little fearful but I don't plan on hurting any of them. "I was attacked today." I state looking at them searching for any unsure faces but I don't find any. They all looked shocked and even a little mad or upset. "Do any of you have an idea who would do something like that?" I ask.
"Drik." I hear someone shout. I nod my head at the possibility but I don't think it was him.
"Anyone else?" I quirk my eyebrow. This young boy steps up, he looks like he's 11 or younger. What the hell is he doing in a trap house selling and slanging dope? "Do you know?"
"Yes ma'am." he speaks up and I motion for him to come closer but he steps back. I can see that he regrets stepping up. They push him out and scold him about stepping back from me and I slit my eyes a little and he gulps before stepping closer slowly. When he stands close enough for me to reach out to him I grab his hand that isn't much bigger than mine and pull him to me to where only me and him can hear what we are saying.
"Tell me what you know." I say to him.
"Well my dad has been looking you up and studying you for a while. I never understood why." he shrugs.
"Who is your dad?"
"Are you going to kill him?"
"If he has something to do with why I almost died today along with my child then yes I will kill him."
"You and your baby almost died?"
"In front of my other daughter."
"His name is Freddy but everyone calls him Red." He looks down in shame.
"Hey, does your daddy know you do this shit?"
"Yeah he's the one that put me on here. He said we needed more money."
I shake my head and tell him that he can go back. I continue to question them and tell them to watch out for a Niggah named Red or Freddy. I heard gunshots and immediately everyone pulled out there guns. They all ran out of the room and I pulled out my gun and took the safety off. The little boy stood frozen in place while everyone else was gone. I looked to my right and saw a window out that way. I got up and called the little boy to me.
He ran back to me and I gave him my purse. He grabbed it and my hand as I walked towards the office door. After locking it I speed walked to the window and unlock it. I let him climb out first so that he could help me. Once we were both out I spotted the car. I looked around making sure no one was about to shoot and that I wasn't being followed. This man suddenly came out if no where pointing his gun at me, I immediately responded by shooting him in his chest. Then I ran to the car putting the little boy in the back seat.
"Go, go, go!" I yell at Elisa and she presses the gas peddle down the long road that leads back to the main road. It's a good thing that the trap is in the middle of nowhere. My breathing is going crazy and my chest is heaving. I can hear my heart beat in my ears. "Oh that was a close one."
"You think?" Elisa cries while looking at me for a second like I'm crazy. I don't say anything because I didn't think that it would effect her like this but this is the second time she has almost seen me get killed in a day. It's getting dark now and I once again I have ran away. I called Gore (he is one of the workers) to make sure everything is okay. He picked up on the second ring.
"Hey Miss Lena?!" he said frantically.
"Yeah it's me. Is everything okay?"
"We bodied everyone that busted In but my brother Tin was killed man."
"I'm so sorry Gore. Did anyone else die?"
"Nah just Tin and it is shot up pretty bad but we can get it fixed. We already got someone telling boss man."
"Did they tell him I was there?"
"Yes ma'am. We also made sure to tell him that you got out safe with J.J."
I take a deep breath and think about how much trouble I will be in when I get home. I feel like a big ass 4 year old. "Okay thank you Gore, I will be in touch with you all tomorrow okay?"
"Okay, bye Miss Lena."
"Bye Bye." I say before hanging up.
Looking over at Elisa I see she is tense as fuck and I'm not going to say anything to piss her off further. I lean my head up against the window and close my eyes after awhile.
"Lena we're here, get up little man." Elisa says softy. I rub my eyes and rub my side as I grab my purse and open the car door. We all get out and the little boy grabs my hand again. I don't even mind. The elevator ride is filled with pure silence. When we get out and walk to my condo I don't even know what to say. The door opens before I can even pull out my key. Cardo has a strange and tight smile on his face.
"Hey J.J. wassup man?" Cardo said to the little boy that let go of my hand now. I rush up the stairs as fast as I can. I go use the bathroom and take off my cloths to the point where I'm just in my bra and panties. Climbing in the bed I think about what I will say when Cardo comes to bed. Slowly I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
"Get up." Cardo directs. I sit up quickly and rub my eyes.
"I'm tired..." I whine. He gives me a smirk and climbs on top of me. I lay back down looking deep into his eyes. He pulls my arms to the side and holds them over my head. I try to break free but his grip gets tighter. My eyes get watery as I can't take looking into his any longer. "Cardo." I say while moving my arms. He pins my legs down with his and positions himself to where he isn't laying on my stomach. Suddenly I'm flipped over on top of him.
"Lena? I could have lost you and the baby today." He pulled me in his arms. "I'm so mad at you for doing that dumb shit."
"I didn't know it was going to happen." I cried to him.
I got out of his lap and tried to hold his hand but he just left out of the room leaving me alone. I start crying so hard the bed shakes with me. I didn't realize it was this big of a deal.
An hand rubs my back and I look up to see my mom. She looks the same as the day she died. Her long brown hair in a ponytail. I hug her to me and she hugs back. I sob and hold on as long as I can. When she starts to desitigrate I scream. "I love you my Lena Bena." She smiles and kisses my cheek. Her scent is all around my room and I scream again trying to get it away from me.
I slide down to the floor just as Cardo busts through the door again. He looks at me worried. I shake my head as he pulls me in his arms. I push away and the scent disappears but I want it back. I want to smell my mommy again. I want her to hold me again. I wan to tell her I love her back.
Cardo helped me back in the bed after I calmed down. When he left out again I heard her voice again.
"I love you my Lena Bena." She said over and over again.
