Echoes of Silence

Heaven POV. 

I wrecked my brain for information, i looked around my loft for any clue as to who shot me. Whiskey's trial was in a week and if i could figure out who shot me i could figure out who setting up Whiskey, there is no doubt in my mind they are connected. So many times i retraced the steps i remember so many times i stood in the middle of the apartment and nothing, just nothing so i decided to take a nap and try to relax before Low and Blaze came buzzing my bell. 

I woke up to arguing. I was in a house, a big house. I rose off the couch and began to walk towards the stairs. I know i wasnt controlling my body because if i woke up in a unknown house the first place im going is out the door. 

"REECE!" i heard a loud boom like a gun shot then i switched locations. I was outside my apartment, I was watching myself exit the car and head up stairs. I followed me, but by the time i got up the stairs i was on the floor in a pool of blood but the shower was running. I walked to the bathroom but as soon as i got in front of the door i switced again. This time i wasnt in my body, i was in a darker one. I stepped outside the shower and whipped the bathroom mirror and nearly shitted my pants. Reece. 

"Reece, Reece.... Reece" I felt my body jerk and woke me up in a panic. 

"Reece!" I looked in the eyes of Low and Blaze who were staring back at me with confusion. 

"What, Reece visited you from the dead in your dreams?" Low began to smirk. 

"Nah, that bitch aint visit me from the dead" They continued to look at me "Reece aint dead, and she's the one who shot me and im sure she's the one who set up Whiskey" OOOOh i was on a roll now. I began ransacking my drawers for sweats. 

"So what you gonna do track her down? And how do you plan on tracking a dead person Hev huh?" Blaze crossed his arms, they both watched me while i slipped off my long tee shirt and slipped on my sweats. 

"Im not gonna track her down, Imma wait... Cause soon she bout to come out of hiding" I went to my closet and pressed in a code and a door opened for me leading me to my collection. 

"What the fuck Heaven! who you think you is double O 6?" Low walked in my little room and picked up a gun. 

"OOOhhh shit, let me borrow some, you dont need all these damn guns" Blaze walked in amazed. 

"Its my little collection" I shrugged it off opening my safe to my special friend. 

"No, people collect action figures, dolls, comic books, shoes! not guns!" Low walked over to me and tapped the back of my head "Bad Heaven! very bad! No no!" I slapped his hand and sucked my teeth. 

"Fuck up!" When my safe opened my heart jumped a bit, my one true baby. I rose up with my all gold 380 magnum.

"Damn that's nice hev" Blaze and Low stood behind me in awe...

"I know." I put the gun in my waist adjusted my sweat pants and exited my closet/collection room. "Show time bitches." I smiled as i pictured my plan in my head.

Whiskey POV. 

My hands were sweating as the Jury whispered to each other, did they think i really did this? I know im black but damn. My heart was pounding right out of my chest, My life was on the line right now. I was looking at fifteen to life. Honestly i hated prison, i mean i could handle jail im a tough cookie but i hated following orders and being punished for a crime i did not commit. But i had full trust in Real and I'an no snitch, I hated the cops just as much they probably hated me. 

"Can the jury foreman stand and read the verdict" 

"How do you find the defendant on the charge first degree murder." 

"We find the defendant..... Guilty" My heart dropped Tears immediately ran down my cheek, I looked back at Real who eyes were too watered, he looked defeated and broken. 

"MAY I HAVE THE COURTS ATTENTION PLEASE!" everyone looked to the back of the court room. I saw my girl Heaven there with female in her hands by her hair. "REECE COLEMAN HAS SOMETHING TO SAY!" everyone ooo and loud chatter started and reporters went crazy, the girl who i  am supposed to go to jail for is alive and standing in front of me. Derrick caught my eye as he ran to Reece to examine her bruised eye and lip. He kissed her, my mouth dropped and rage took over my body. Them Mother fuckers set me up! she is the one who supposedly 'wasn't done with me and Heaven' 

"Enough!!" Heaven pushed Derrick off and grabbed Reece by the collar of the shirt and dragged her to the judge. "TELL HIM!" Heaven barked. Reece punk ass gulped her pride and explained everything, how she set me up, how she been having an affair with Derrick and how he was in on the plan as well. Shit she even pulled out proof she did it. 

"Alright!" the judge banged his gavel. "Mrs. King looks like you a free Woman" i screamed and now my tears became tears of joy as the police took off my cuffs, i ran straight to Real and kissed him he hugged me so tight i thought my head was gonna pop off. After my moment with Real i walked over to Heaven and hugged my girl, she always came through and this was no exception. 

"I told you i got you girl!" she kissed my cheek. after my hug with Hev my eyes landed on Reece and so did my hands, police swarmed us and grabbed me off of her.  

"Stupid bitch" I murmured as i walked out of the court with Heaven and Real a free woman, orange jumper and all.
