"I'm a lawyer and I'm completely lost on what the fuck is going on around me." Jazmyn spoke making Vincent look over to her. They were in the car riding to the hospital. "Azul could be dead. I vowed to myself I would never."
"Not ever not know what the fuck is going on around me. My sister is doing all of this? What's going on Vincent."
He didn't say anything as he pushed his car into another lane. "Pull over." Jazmyn demanded. But he ignored that. Vincent didn't have time to fill her in. He barely understood where the story started and ended.
"NOW." She spoke again.
"I'm under Ezekiel's orders right now. You want to know what's going on ask him when we get there." Vincent told her not bothering to look at her. Jazmyn didn't say anything. Tension crept between them.
When they got to the hospital Jazmyn was out of the car before he could even throw it in park. Vincent shook his head as he followed behind her. They stepped into the waiting room at the same time. Ezekiel paced back and forth.
"Ezekiel." Jazmyn spoke making him stop. "Please tell me what's going on. I don't understand." He looked to her stomach and then into her eyes. "Please. I can't." She whispered as tears dropped. He sighed.
"Sit down Jazmyn."
"Not until you tell me what the fuck is going on. That's my sister back there fighting for her life."
"Your sister is my wife. So don't even start throwing ranks around in this motherfucker."
"You trump sister?" She folded her arms. "Didn't you tell her you was done with her?"
"Wasn't you there when a nigga was putting his hands on her?" He spat right back. Jazmyn mugged him.
"I was. And guess what she did to that nigga when he stood in the way of her having her sister there for her." Jazmyn stepped closer to him. "I will bury AOD. Right fucking here. Right fucking now about my sister."
"Cause we the fucking problem?" His eyebrow raised. "Your sister is the one who shot my wife. Get the fuck out of my face NOW." He stepped closer to her. "Because you ain't the only motherfucker standing in this hospital that can bury a motherfucker."
"That don't scare me."
Ezekiel looked her over. He looked to Vincent who was mugging him. His eyes moved to Messiah who had the same look. Ezekiel closed his eyes. He took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes he looked into Jazmyn's watering ones.
"You a fucking lawyer at every point in this shit. If they call you to testify it's in your oath that you do that shit. Am I the only motherfucker in this room remembering that?"
