Chapter Five

I walked up to the door of Kilo's brother apartment and knocked on it. His blinds went down as I saw his eyes and he removed his fingers making them fling back up. The door was unlocking as he opened it up with no shirt on. He had tattoos that were all over his body. I rolled my eyes as I stepped in.

" Look who's uninvited ? You came back to Louisiana ? " Saint said and I sighed. Saint is the worse version of his younger brother. Even though Kilo could be the biggest asshole of all time, Saint took the win.

" Cut the bullshit negro. Look " I said slapping the files down on the table and he looked at them while flipping through pages. It was on Genesis and Landon. It was also on damage to my home and who did it.

" You should've never moved up there. Someone raped my little sister? And scared my nephew? Then only one of them got locked up ? Mm , you sure you fine in New York by yourself because my late brother did something to piss them off. I think it was because they owed him money and got set up that night. Kilo was in some deep shit and on top of that , he told boss he wanted to leave." Saint said as he kept reading through the files and he slapped them down while rubbing his chin hairs.

" Wait , he was actually leaving ?" I questioned and Saint nodded.

" Yeah , that was his last drop that he was going to do. "

A sigh of relief came over me. He tried to leave. Then again I felt terrible , I kept giving him hell about how he was going to be locked up or killed. It actually happened to. I rubbed my temples as some black girl with black hair walked through the living room.

" Saint , baby what you doing? " She questioned while wrapping her arms around him. He sighed.

" Go back in the room India. This is not your business " Saint told her and she rolled her eyes.

" Do it again " He threatened.

" Oo , baby I know them. I used to work for them. " India said as she pointed and Saint looked at her.

" Tell me about them " Saint asked and India looked up and saw me. She waved with a smile and I waved back. She seemed sweet but a little weird.

" Well , this person right here never liked Kilo, your brother. He used to be his friend and always wanted his girlfriend, strange. Never really paid that much attention " India said in a British deep accent while I smacked my teeth. " But they always stayed at that same club called Fruit Passion , I used to - uh dance there because I used to be a hustla. The two boys right there , John & Louie always are there. "

" Thank you baby. I'm about to leave so lock the door , don't let anyone in and be careful here by yourself. Don't go nowhere ight?" Saint mumbled in her ear as she nodded while he rubbed his hand up and down her butt to her thigh.

Saint got up while he threw on his white tank with a grey hoodie over it. He grabbed his gun that was sitting on the table and handed me a colt 45. I raised my eyebrow.

" I'm pregnant. I can't carry a gun or shoot out of one because it's a chance I'm going to get shot " I said and Saint smacked his lips.

" You'll be alright. Damn , carry this atleast " He said handing me some pepper spray and I slightly looked to the left. India looked worried and clutched her stomach as she took a deep breath. Saint walked out the door.

" It's okay , I'll bring him home. I was the same way " I said as I put my hand on her thigh while taking a seat. She sighed and looked away.

" I'm pregnant with his first child and he knows this. He could've atleast put his work aside for these nine months while I'm carrying this child because I need him " She said as she cried with red eyes. She'll get used to it and she has to. It might be hard because it was hard for me to get over it.

I walked out the door with a long , depressing sigh.

" You not gone talk? I'm gone make your ass talk " Saint said as he punched John as Louie was tied up in the next chair. I shook my head as I leaned over the chair while running my fingers through my hair.

" Okay that's enough Saint! Saint!" I yelled as he punched him over and over. I grabbed Saint and pulled my hand over his arm. John coughed up a lot of blood as his head fell over his shoulder.

" Owe " I said as the baby kicked. I got entirely threw off that it was the sixth going on seventh month of my pregnancy. Saint helped me to the seat and I sat down slowly.

" Alright alright , I'll tell you. Kilo grew up with the nigga that shot him as his homeboy but his homeboy shadowed him out of everything. His girl, everything he had, his money, his family and everything. We just did all this shit because our boss was paying us triple " He said and Saint took out his gun. He shot both of them in the head and sighed as he cleaned it off the gun slowly. I shook my head as Saint's workers came in here. Saint checked their pockets and found some cards. He smirked while placing it in his pocket.

" Saint , you should've never shot them. Now their blood is on your hands " I said.

" Hush before you kill my other niece or nephew stressing about other shit" He said and my eyebrow raised.

" But they're not yo-" I said and he chuckled cutting me off.

" It doesn't matter. He or she is my little niece or nephew " He said. My heart felt warm all over. Atleast, he has the same mentality as his brother.

On my way back to New York with the information , I sighed while driving on the streets. I can't believe someone bigger is behind this and the fact is a jealousy crime. I turned my head and into the blink of an eye. My car was being flipped over down the street.

I screamed while covering my head as my car was rolling as it almost fell off the bridge I was driving on. It was tilting and was about to fall in the water below. I coughed while trying to unbuckle my seatbelt but it wouldn't budge. My car kept trying to balance itself as I tried to get out.

" Help me " I screamed while banging on the window and busting it open. I felt someone yank me making my seatbelt unclick. The person knocked out the extra glass on the side and I started smelling gas.

" Hurry please " I pleaded and someone grabbed my arm as my door opened and pulled me out. My car fell off the bridge and I clung into the person who pulled me out the car.

" Are you ok ma'am? Let me look at you" He said taking the palm of his hand into my face and I winced. It was a big bruise on my cheek. I stepped away and almost collapsed due to the pain in my knee.

" Woah , I saw some people call the ambulance , they should be here shortly " He said and I snatched away. His eyebrows raised as he tried to calm me down.

My mind was fucked up right now. I just witnessed some people get shot three days ago and found out why my boyfriend was murdered. Someone purposely hit me and almost killed me. The car either would've blown up or I would've fell to my death. My kids are missing me and this stranger just miraculously pops out in the middle of nowhere who I don't trust at all. His eyes are telling a different sign than his hand gestures. My life literally flashed before my eyes at this very point and my baby is going to grow up without her father.

" You've been through a lot I see. I promise I'm not dangerous , I'm not going to hurt you. I don't bite " The man said as he kneeled down and pulled me in a warm , deep hug. I was thinking out loud. Tears was running down my eyes and was wetting up his shirt.

" I don't trust you one bit. How come you saw me ?" I said lowly and he chuckled.

" As you see I'm in jogging gear and I usually cross the bridge on the sidewalk for exercise. I saw the accident a few feet back and ran to your help once I heard you scream. You seemed so distressed but the way you looked at me and held me when the car fell , made me feel your energy. My name is Shad " He said as my breathing was getting cut off. He raised his eyebrow as my head dropped and I slowly regained it.

" Yoo , you passing out ma" He yelled and I was out like a light.
