"Money could a stuck pon yuh, di bwoy still aguh fuck pon yuh"

Wednesday, 7:15pm

Unknown's POV:

For most persons, nighttime was for sleeping.

For single persons, nighttime was for watching crappy movies and eating all sorts of junk food.

For couples, nighttime was for dinner dates and making excessive love to their partners.

For me, nighttime was for observing families and making note of their every move. 

There was no time to sleep, no time to eat and no time to have a sense of intimacy with a non-existent partner.

"Zari! Mi gone now!" Nivea said as she exited her house.

It seemed this had become a routine for her. 

Work. Home. Leaving in the middle of the night and returning after work the next day.

No doubt she was spending time with her partner.

That was unexpected.

Boss man nah guh like diss when him find out.

Hmmm.

I watched as the posh vehicle sped down the road, a cloud of dust occupying its spot at the gate.

Shortly after it left, Zarrian left in the same fashion as her sister.

Suh di two a dem ave man.

I picked up my phone and shot a quick text to my  boss notifying him of my recent discovery. 

As soon as the message was sent, the gray ticks turned blue.

I closed turned off the device then drove to my next destination.

It wasn't far from where I was currently situated.

How ironic was it that they lived a mere ten minutes away from each other without any knowledge of the other's existence?

I chuckled at the irony then parked my vehicle across for my destination.

"Daddy!" A little girl's voice drifted through my slightly cracked window.

I stared into the yard and watched as the tiny body crashed into the legs of a much taller man.

The man wore a soiled white shirt and a worn out looking pants. His belly was round and his salt and pepper coloured hair was trimmed neatly.

Wrong man she a call daddy enuh.

A me yah tell?

He bent down and engulfed the girl in a warm hug then kissed her forehead.

A small smile made its way unto my lips.

That's cute.

It nuh cute when yuh medz weh we about fi do to dem.

Immediately, my smile fell.

I watched their interaction for a few more minutes before I decided it was time to complete my task.

I tore my gaze away from the two and opened my glove compartment. When opened, I pulled out the black balaclava and pulled it over my head. I then reached under my seat and removed my pristine weapon.

"Lord forgive me for the sin I am about to commit." I said then quickly jumped out of the vehicle.

I swiftly made my way towards the two who were now captivated by their own conversation. They had begun drifting towards the opened front door, the little girl skipping ahead while the man stayed behind.
