".... You good man?..." Miller said, passing a half smoked blunt to his boss.

Eli sat in the back of the SUV and stared ahead, he had been quiet since they had retreated from Lawrence's place. He took a long hard pull on the blunt, before he blew out, inhaling so much of the smoke that barely any escaped his mouth on the exhale. "How the fuck... did I not know this...

"Cmon Eli!.. it's obvious that you've been distracted... what is it about Indy that got you this crazy?..."

"She is partly the reason

"She is partly the reason... I mean, she's beautiful.. she gave me a son... I need her ... but there is so much more to it than that..."

"So talk to me man... I've been yo main for years.. I know when things are not right with you..."

Eli had to unburden himself, he felt like the whole world was caving in on him. "I got my hands on the deeds to some government classified shit... weapons that will only be used in wars... I've got all the codes and details... I'm going to be speaking to the Russians very soon....

"Eli!.. what the fuck man...

"They will pay for most for them...

"And end yo life..." he sighed. "They won't even hesitate... this is some next level shit... and right now you have all the power man.... Where the hell are you stashing all of the info?..." miller said shocked.

He took a long pause. "All the codes and financial records are on a chip... and I don't have that chip.."

Miller was now more confused than ever. "So how is all of this in yo possession?."

"I put the chip inside Darin, the day he was born.." Eli said.

Miller shifted away from his boss and a confused and disgusted look etched on his face. "You put all of that on yo son!... mother fucker who are you!.."

"I wasn't thinking I jus' knew that I needed to get it away from eyes... no one would suspect a chip being planted inside of a son of mine that barely anyone knew about..." he shook his head. "It sounds crazy I know...

"Yeah you're not wrong there!." He sighed. " so is it really India that you want or is it that you need to get in front of yo son so that you can get the chip back in yo possession?"

"Naw... I've been doing a lot of thinking and... I want her... which is why she can't know what I did... she will hate me forever, if I can just retrieve the chip, I will place it in a safety deposit box on the D L.. and I can work on me and Indy..."

"OK, so what about Tia and kids?"

"Ion know yet man... but this whole thing with Che being her brother... and her father having a connection to mine... I don't even know how this shit is gonna play out.. not now" he said with meaning.

"... India... can I come in?."

Indy had fallen asleep on the bed next to Darin who was sleeping soundly. She sat up on the edge of the bed. "Come in." She said quietly rubbing her face.
