All In The Family (From the streets Trilogy)

Chapter 14

Please come home

August POV
"August, you need to come home. The least you can do is send me a text and let me know if you okay... the children ask for you... and I dont know what to tell them anymore."

"I can't even sleep not knowing if you're okay, I-I don't have no appetite. I can't even eat. August, I'm begging you. please come home." She sniffled.

"You made me a promise August" eyes filling with water at the sound of her voice, I couldn't help but think of how much she needed me.

"Just come home, I'm not even mad at you. I just want you to come home"

It ended right there.

I just needed a moment to gather my thoughts and my emotions. This was just too hard for me. I just know that I needed to do something and I didn't want Mya involved.

I left my house and I found my way to a store where I know some drug dealers use to be at.

"Aye man wazzam" I walked in smiling

"Anthony! It's been a while man" he smiled in return dapping me up.

"I never thought I'd see you here again"
Shaking my head I responded "you know I always gotta come back home every once in a while"

"Yea, I'm hoping this don't have to do with Mel.."
I nodded "it do"
His whole face changed before he sighed and shook his head.

"August I don't think you wanna go digging down that hole again"

"This time it's even more personal than before, so I got to"
He looked me dead in the eye.

"What do you want to know man?"

"You know Reggie right?"

"Yea, ole did you use to hang with"

"You know what gang he was into before me?"

"He was hanging with them boys from the 39ers crew" I shook my head. Traitor.

"He been a sniper on the low and a getaway driver but I guess now you know"

"Where his boss stay at?"
He gave me a look and shook his head.

"August, you don't want to mess with these hea people. They are dangerous. You have a career, a family and you got money. Get outta hea man. This life ain't you no more."

"While I appreciate your unsolicited advice, I need a answer man"

He sighed before saying "there's this guy name Dante he stay in central city" he wrote down the address.

"Thanks man" as I was about to walk out.

"August, if you go there you gon need back up. Even if it's just for a meet"

I nodded before heading out the store.

This time I was met with 4 men standing across the street staring at me.

I stopped and stared back but once I seen him start walking over, I knew it was gone be something.

Mya POV

"Yall all I know is I can't find my husband and he's not answering my calls"

"I've been contacting some people to see if he came around but nobody got word on him yet" Dennis said making me my lower lip quiver.

I was more than ready to cry. Not hearing from him made me anxious. I couldn't sleep I couldn't eat.

I'm so busy thinking of all the things that could possibly be happening right now. He could be in danger in a hospital something but I don't know because he isn't answering.
