Part 4

FLASHBACK October 2001

"Come on BB!" my little brother said.
"Hold on, dam!"
"They'll be back before we even make it to the corner." my sister complained.
"If y'all don't shut up we not going no dam where." They kept quiet.
"Okay I'm ready, let's go."
Today my parents had to leave to handle some business. It's boring being in this house all the time so we going to the park. It's just up the street, they shouldn't trip. Plus we'll be back before they even suspect anything.
"It's a lot of people over there." Andre said.
"Yeah but they don't know us. So we good. Just remember don't tell nobody nothing."
"I ain't no snitch!"
"Yeah but you like to talk a lot Joseph." Solange said.
"Whatever. Y'all gonna play with me?" he asked.
"We not dressed for that. We got you next time."
We got to the park and Andre ran to the basketball court. He's really good to be so young. To bad nobody will ever notice since we barely leave the house.
"It feels good to be outside." Solange said as we sat down on a nearby bench.
"Yeah we should do this more often."

"Dre!" I yelled running over to my brother. See this is why we can never leave the house alone. "What the hell are you doing?"
"He tried to take my ball! I told his punk ass no!" This kid and his temper.
"You don't shoot him over nothing like that." I said.
He smacked his lips at me. I can see why my parents hate when we do stuff like that. I was about to jack his lil ass up.
"Look kid, here's a hundred dollars." Solange said reaching into her wallet "Buy your own ball and forget this ever happened, iight?"
"O- oka- okay." he said nodding nervously.
"Hey! Remember what I said. Forget. Don't remember. Forget." The boy looked confused but took the money and ran off.
"Who told yo lil ass to bring a gun out the house anyway?" I turned to my little brother.
"Daddy said to always stay strapped."
"Yeah when you're older and by yourself." I said. "You got us and ain't nothing gone happen to you when we around. Got me?"
He nodded his head. "Now give me your gun."
He handed it over and went back to playing. Thankfully nobody was around.

"He has your aim technique." Solange said laughing.
"And your temper, which isn't a good mix. He could have murdered that boy in plain daylight over a fucking ball." I said shaking my head.
"But we got to him in time." she said putting her arm on my shoulder.
"What if we don't one day?"
"Then it is what it is" she shrugged.
"I don't want his first kill to be that early."
"Bey you gotta let that go."
"I can't. I have nightmares about that boy."
"We were kids. Like mama said, daddy shouldn't have even told you to do that."
"That still doesn't change the fact that I killed him!" I whisper yelled.
"Look at it this way. You haven't killed that many people since."
"That's because if I freeze up you come in and finish the job."
"You have mama's brains and business smarts. I have daddy's calm yet crazy temper. We're a perfect match."
"What if things could be different?" I asked.
"How so?"
"Like we didn't have to be apart of the family business. What if he actually let us go to school with other kids?"
"Girl you crazy? I like not having to get up and where them ugly ass uniforms or seeing the same fake people."
I sucked my teeth, "You know what I mean Piaget."
"Whatever. I like the life I live. I never want to change it."
We continued walking the path near the park.
"Oh shit!" I said looking at my watch. "¡Dre Venga! Mami va a dar la vuelta si se entera de salir de casa."
We all took off running down the street. Sneaking in the back door, we hurried upstairs to the playroom until our parents returned home.

A few minutes later, my mom was knocking on the door.
"Hey my babies." she said smiling.
"Hey mommy!" Dre said getting up to hug her.
"What y'all been doing all day?"
"Giselle and Piaget played basketball with me."
"Did they?" he nodded his head with a big ass grin on his face.
"Well I'm going to change clothes. Meet me downstairs in the gym in ten minutes."
"Mom we're really tired from playing with him." Solange started. "Can we do our training after dinner?"
"Piaget I didn't ask you what you wanted." she said turning to leave. "Oh and next time y'all decide to leave this house without telling me. That's y'all ass."

"Damn man! She's worse than dad! Got us doing all this extra shit" my sister said to me out of breath.
"I'm still trying to figure out how she found out. I mean we dodged all the necessary cameras and made it back before they did." I said.
"Everybody was at the meeting and I told the guys that were watching us that we would be back." Andre said.
"You think they tell her?" I asked.
"Nah, we cool. Them the big homies. Been saving my ass from a lot of ass whoopings."
"Come here!" my mom yelled.
We sprinted to her before she had us dodging bullets, instead of balls, next.
"Now why would y'all lie to me? Hmm?! Didn't I say not to leave this house unless your life is being threatened?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Then what part did y'all not understand?!" she screamed.
We all stayed mute.
She took a deep breath, "I'm not talking for my health..... Giselle?"
"We wanted some fresh air mommy."
"Did y'all forget about the big ass backyard we have?"
"But it's closed in. We just wanted to get out the house for once. By ourselves without having to look over our shoulder."
She sighed, "Have a seat." We all sat on the floor.
"I know y'all don't like being cooped up at home all the time. And when you get to leave, you have to be on high alert or with a body guard but it's for your protection." she explained. "Your father and I are working on expanding the business and we don't need anybody getting any ideas of taking one of you."
We nodded our heads in understanding.
"Good, now go upstairs and clean up. I'll order us some wings. I'm not cooking tonight."
We hugged her and started walking out the room.
"Mommy, how'd you find out?" Solange asked as we were walking up the steps.
"Oh baby y'all smell like outside." she said with a stank look on her face.
"What's outside?" Andre asked.
"A horrible smell which is why y'all need to hurry up and shower." she said pushing us up the stairs laughing. "Y'all smell worse than little puppies."
"Ooooo can we get a dog?" he asked.
"You just got in trouble and you asking me for a dog?" she said with a raised eyebrow.
"Worth a shot." he shrugged.
"Are you gone tell daddy?" I asked.
"No Giselle, this is between us." she said kissing my forehead. "Just don't let it happen again."
I nodded my head and went to take a well needed shower and sleep until the food came.
