                        Arly's pov

  It was a long, tiring walk through the bushes with a sleeping Arlem, but it was worth the effort to spend such a relaxing time with Tiony. I really wanted to ask her to come and sleep with me, but I figured she must be on her period as she had resisted my advances when I tried to touch her intimately. I was going to miss her when she went back home to Kingston, and I was already making plans to go and visit her there because I really wanted to make something worthwhile out of this relationship. Getting such a gorgeous, sexy woman who actually wants something out of life isn't easy, and I will be damned if I allow her to slip out of my hands.

  Natty came to Rizzla the following evening, and it turned into one big quarrel. "A wha duh dah pussy yah mon? Mi just simple come and ask him wha a gwane cause All-purpose dey a hospital and him nuh say ray to di man madda nor nuhbody and him a gwane like him can style mi." Natty stated loudly after a group of vehicles drove up with Rizzla's cousins, brothers, and some other men.

  They stood about looking without saying anything while my family and I watched from our gate. Rizzla walked over and stood beside one of his brothers, complaining how Natty was dissing him. "Nuh body caan tek your yard mek walk through, yuh come a gwane like mi owe yuh!" Rizzla says nastily.

"Man hype and full a bare chat from him a parr wid di scammer dem." André says lowly.

  Cryptonite stood in front of Natty as Natty began talking. "Hey, drauze face buoy mi an' yuh nuh dey pon di same level ino germs, suh just know wey yah chat outta yuh 'tinking mouth, Oh, cause mi coulda neva come a look war wid you, yah smaddy?"

"Mi nuh want nuh crosses a mi gate!" Rizzla's mother says, and Cryptonite and Copper gripped Natty's arms and began pulling him away.

There was a murmur in the crowd that had gathered, and I know deep down that Natty wanted to dirt all of Rizzla's family. Police raided Natty's endz on the hill the following morning searching for guns, and I knew it wasn't coincidental. It was now clearer that the scammers had members of the police force in their pockets, and Natty would have to lay low to not end up in jail for nothing. I carried All-purpose's mother and big sister to visit him in the hospital, and they confided to me that Kimeka's brother Zarro was forcing himself on Chiney. Neva si smoke widout fire, I say in my head then asked.

"How old Chiney is now?"

"She a eighteen. Pure bad him bad har up, cause him know sey Chiney nuh want him. We just affi easy wi self cause wi nuh have nuh body fi stand up fi wi." Kiva replies and tells me.

  I shook my head, Zarro was way too old and ugly for Chiney, and no doubt he must know that she has been talking to Ignition. Some people certainly know how to fuck up other people's life, instead of fixing theirs.  What's going to happen with Chiney and his two babymother's in the long run when things get sour? All-purpose was improving but he had suffered a fracture of his backbone that will take some time to heal, five of his fingers were broken, three on the left and two on the right. He was glad to see us, but sad about his situation.

  "Di doctor sey mi may get discharge tomorrow." He tell us.

"If you can walk." I rephrased what the doctor had told him, and he sighed.

The next evening, he got discharged, and Natty and the talibans were at his home when I drove up to make him feel happy. He had to use a crotch stick for balancing so as not to put much pressure on his spine and pretended that he wasn't feeling uncomfortable when he sat down. "Yuh soon feel like yuhself again, mon, nuh watch nutn." Natty tells him, placing two new cushions at his back for him to lean on.
