A Detroit Love Thang 3

Later That Night

Alicia, Niles, and Ariana made it home. Ariana was already asleep so Alicia put her to bed and quietly closed the door.

"You okay baby?" Alicia asked. "After you came back from the bathroom you looked a little startled and was acting a little strange, like you got some bad news." Niles wanted to tell her what was going on so badly but she had no clue of his other side and he wanted to keep it that way. He knew she'd be pissed if she knew, so he decided to keep it to himself. "Nothing, I'm okay. Yo' momma dinner was great. Had a nigga ready to let one go, if you know what I mean." Alicia laughed, getting into her night clothes and lying in bed. Niles did the same, lying next to her in the spooning position. "Baby, do you think about your siblings? You know your brother and your sister?" Alicia was surprised he asked and didn't know where it was coming from.

"Yeah, I think about them a lot actually. I miss them. It's been so many years since me and mommy seen them. I don't know if they're alive or if they're dead. It hurts my heart to even think of them being dead out there and us not even knowing. It would really break my mom's heart. She bears the guilt of not being the mother she could've for them." Niles also bore some guilt. He knew where her brother was and what he was up to. He knew that Psycho was dead and that he and her brother were the reason. All he had to do was open his mouth and say something but every time he tried, the words wouldn't come out. He really didn't want to lose his woman. So he kept his secrets to himself. How he's going to cover this one up, he had no clue.

The Next Day

Niles parked his car in front of Loko's house. He sat there for a second thinking how they hadn't seen or talked in five years. Niles got out of the car walking up to Loko's door knocking until Loko came to the door. He first peeked out the door realizing it was Niles. He opened the door with a big smile on his face.

"Snake, wassup!" He pulled his hand out giving Niles some play. Niles walked inside looking around. "How you been?" Loko asked, before getting to the elephant in the room.

"I'm doing pretty good. Ariana just started Kindergarten so that's the highlight of my life right now. Oh and me and Alicia got engaged."

"You finally proposed huh, bro?"

"Yeah I did. I felt it was the right time."

"That's good." Loko and Niles had a seat in his kitchen at the table.

"So what's up? Who is this chick talking about she coming after us?"

"Yeah man some bitch came up to me in the club talking about she my sister and shit. Talking about my pops had another child and he never knew about her."

"What?" Niles said, shocked which meant Alicia had another sister out there who knew about what he did to their father.

"Yeah man, the hoe crazy. Talking about we better watch our back. She own that club over there on Van Dyke and Seven Mile, Pretty Women."

"Yeah I know what you talking about."

"I'm just warning you. I mean you might not have shit to worry about, but we share the same gene, she claim, so she might just be crazy." Niles decided that now was the best time to confront Loko about what he knew.

"Loko, why didn't you tell me that you was related to Alicia and Psycho?" Loko looked shocked and a little dumbfounded. He shook his head for a minute, thinking there was no need to deny it now.

"Yeah, that's my sister, and Psycho is my father. I didn't want you to think I was on no bullshit when it came to killing his ass so I had to keep a low profile. Besides, Alicia doing well for herself without me coming in her life fucking shit up. If my enemies knew she was my sister, they would've fucked with her like they did our other sister and I didn't need that shit. Psycho stayed away from her, so I did the same. I was no good for my moms and my baby sister. She deserved to grow up normal not shitty like me and her siblings did. When Psycho killed my brother, I had no choice but to ride out with him." Niles could tell Loko was sad about leaving his family behind. He could see the pain in his eyes.

"Your sister misses you, you know. She talk about you every other day. I understand why you feel the way you do but she a grown woman now. I think she could think for herself without getting influenced in anyway. Besides, you out the game now, so what's holding you back?"

"I still got niggas out here trying to test me. It's not as easy for me to get out like it was for you. I was in it for a while. You was in it for a year and a half." Niles nodded his head in agreement. "You right. One day I'll go see them," Loko said, with a slight smile.

"You'll make them happy," Niles said, putting his hand to Loko's shoulder.

"Save my number because we gone have to keep in touch, just in case this bitch try something." Niles agreed locking his number in. "Try to come by more often. Bring some pictures of my sister and my niece."

"I got you bro!" Niles got up out of his seat, giving Loko some play before leaving out of his house and making his way back home to his family.

Kane walked inside the spot he once got the guns from, seeing Dre chilling in front of the TV getting his dick sucked by some random. "Yo' what up?" Kane said, giving Dre some play.

"Shit, just came by to get them guns I ordered from you."

"Yo' I got you. I just need a favor from you." Kane looked over at Dre who was looking devious.

"What up?"

"I want you to convince yo' girl Lozella to let me join her team. Don't nobody want to get rid of these niggas more than me." Dre rubbed his hands together with an evil look on his face remembering what Loko and Niles did to him five years ago, and the fact that he took Alicia from him and embarrassed his ass out of WSU. He left the school that day never returning and never graduating. He lost his degree and his girl. He was determined to get Niles back by any means. Even if it meant teaming up with Lozella
