VII. Problem Solved

☀Summer☀

{Summer in the MM Box Above}

I laid in bed staring down at the text Mula had just sent me.

Mula iMessage 6:59 AM

Girl turn to the channel 12 news..NOW!

I sighed and looked up at the time, it was about 7 in the morning.

Why is she even up? She can hardly make it to first period but up at 7 in the fuckin' morning during summer vacation. I can't deal.

I lazily turned on my new 50 inch plasma Papa had bought and put it on channel 12 News.

"Five young girls found dead in the street today near the 3 train station located in Harlem. There were no witness but, the bodies have been identified." The news caster began listening the names of the five dead girls along with their pictures. I quickly sat up and paused the news. One of the identified bodies had a cut in her cheek right across the tattoo on her face.

She's the one I cut with my blade.

"We believe these young girls were gang affiliated as there bodies had matching tattoo's. No other information has been released but if anyone has anymore information on the shooting you are to call your local police station. Stacey back to you." I blinked, rewinding the news cast back to the body pictures as I called Mula.

"Yo you seen the news?!" Mula yelled, causing me to twist up my face, "Bitch could you be any louder? It's 7 in the damn morning, relax. But yea...I peeped the news."

"You think it's them?" Mula asked anxiously. "I know it's one of them. I sliced one of them in the face with my blade and you can still see where I sliced her. I didn't even know I sliced her so deep." I informed mumbling the last part.

"Pay back is a bitch!" Mula laughed. I just shook my head, watching them load the dead bodies in to the ambulance. I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!" Papa poked his head into my room. "Mula lemme call you back." I said as I hung up.

"Good morning baby girl." Papa smiled sliding over to the side of my bed. "Morning Papa." I slightly smiled at my handsome father.

"I see you've already seen the news. So you should know that the problem has been taken of." Papa said without a care. I nodded. "They had to go down in cold blood. Nobody fucks with us and gets away with that shit still breathing. Now that mess is handled and I'm pretty sure them mo'fuckas got the message, I don't want you snooping around for anymore clues. You understand me Summer?" Papa asked sternly pointing his index at me.

"Yes." I nodded. "Good, I just want you to be able to relax and chill. Leave all this beef shit to me 'cause if something were to happen to you Summer..." Papa shook his head. I could see the amount of love Papa held in his heart for me and it made convert back into a little girl for the moment, I gave Papa a tight hug and he hugged me back even tighter. "My baby girl."

It's funny how Papa can take a big problem and always turn it to nothing. He seems to be able to do it with everything.

Later in the early afternoon the girls and I decided to link up by the park. I walked into the park and quickly found the girls. They were chilling on a bench in the shade.

"Hey girls." I greeted giving them all hugs as I sat down with them. "So you saw the news?" Baby D asked with her serious blue eyes that she had inherited from Uncle Rello.
