"Will we be sharing for real?" I ask placing my leg in his lap.

We have been traveling for about two days now and I'm exhausted. I was told that if I went commercial I would be in the sky for about four days with lay overs in between which is crazy work.

"No. B mi go tek a 15 and forward."

"But you just got up."

"Alright, give me a second mi go mek a call."

I roll my eyes and watch him move over to another seat and recline it then close his eyes.

Best I leave him so he can sleep. I peep through the little window as my mind drift to when I met him.

Flashback

I'm curled up on the floor shivering because I can hear loud explosions going off every second and I think any moment I will be dragged and beaten.

The place goes silent but I can hear footsteps and as the sound gets louder I let out a low whimper. The sound stop until the door is flung open and two guys standing beside each other is looking back at me.

One is older and the other is young. They are both holding guns. The younger one is looking at me while the older one scrunch his face up in disgust.

"Shoot the fucking supn and forward nuh yute." The older one says looking at me.

I whimper and try to fold up even smaller in the corner making sure the few pieces of rags I have over me is not exposing me.

"Nosah she look scared man like them did have her as a hostage." The younger one reply walking closer.

I move closer to the wall still fearing for my life.

"You brave nuh fuck cause that look like if it bite you, you turn ina supn wah star ina walking dead to pussyclaat." The older one shout then head out.

The younger one stretch out his hand and I shiver and shake my head no.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I want to help you." He says to me stretching out his hand again. I look in his eyes and for the first time in months I see some sort of human quality in someone. I reach out my hand and slowly take his.

"Da yute yah nuh listen inuh just look how your father go shoot u and it." The older one says as soon as he return.

I quickly pull away my hand and attempt to sit back in the corner when the younger one lift me up and walk with me in his arms to a car.

"B, Maria..."

I feel someone shaking me from my sleep so I open my eyes and Kahjeel is standing over me.

"We reach, forward mek we go shower and get some food. Skull a wait pon we."

"Oh, I didn't bring anything with me cause you didn't tell me we were going out the country."

"Hush, last minute plan."

I quickly compose myself and grab my phone heading out behind Kahjeel. We walk to a car and take our seat before the car move off to what I assume is the hotel.

"So wah u did a dream seh?" Kahjeel ask out of the blue.

"What?"

"You did a moan ina u sleep. Wah kinda dream u did a have?"
