📍SOMEWHERE

The gravel crush underneath my crocs and I wipe the tears away.

U look stress.

I am stress.

Alex gave me an address to the place he is hiding and honestly I'm afraid because this is somewhere in Spanish town across the train tracks and into a place that looks like a junk yard.

I had to park my car at a place I don't even know.

We life cut out fi wi enuh..

I've never seriously thought about running away until now, I want to run away because when Archie wakes up and finds out, mi know nuh amount of box counting nah go can save him or me.

Him say him cah kill u.

Dat a did before Alex try to kill him.

U nuh know wah happen yet.

Him phone call tells me enough.

After crime carried me back to the warehouse so I could get my car, I didn't bother going home I came straight to the address Alex sent me.

I stop on the middle of the junk yard and look out at the sunset because soon I won't be able to because my stupid brother is going to cost me my life.

U betta go offer up u mouth ears and front fi wi life.

A serious time now.. act like a big woman.

My phone vibrates again but I end the call when I see it's a number I don't know. I thought it was Monique because she has been calling.

Kiss mi teeth. 

It's been hours since I told her I will be there soon and honestly I thought so too but Spanish is so tricky worst when you don't know the place.

I got lost twice before I could reach here.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and I quickly spin around in fight mode but it was my brother.

Kiss mi teeth... him a di next one too.

My eyes take in his disheveled clothes and the fear settle in his eyes as he makes himself small looking left or right every five seconds, probably want to know if anybody followed me.

I frown sadly from the way he is looking and pull him into a hug.

He exhales and I keep my tears at bay because crying is not going to do use no good right now.

A him cause this pan himself so mi nuh sorry.

We pull apart and I rub the plastic watch I gave him from kids days.

"I really didn't know." He said and I nod.

"Wat did u do Alex" I said hoping he will tell me everything.
