August
"You think that we should tell Jace?"
I was so confused. Stephanie wanted to tell him but then again I wasn't so sure.
"Man, Ion know. Ion even know if that's our place to even make dat move."
She sighed and walked into the house. I walked around the truck to get Laya who was knocked out. Things were hectic around hea and I just wanted to be a lah normal again. I had another performance in a couple of weeks and I was no where near ready to leave my family.
Walking into the house, I seen Stephanie leaning against the counter in the kitchen with her phone to her ear. I frowned and walked Laya to her room and laid her down. My phone vibrated and I checked to see Jace was texting me. I pressed ignore and headed to the kitchen.
"Bae?" I asked, walking back into the kitchen.
"I called Jace and he didn't pick up, it just kept on ringing. So I tried Sean, said he didn't know." She rambled.
I rubbed my face and walked over to where she was.
"And then?"
She scoffed humorlessly.
"Then I called Mina. She said she has been trying to get in touch with me all day."
I sighed, this was some shit. It was about to be some more shit that we was going to have to deal with.
"Tell me."
"Jace is dead."
I took a step back, shaking my head.
"Nah, that can't be right. I just now got a text from him."
He eyes widened and she walked over to me.
"Did you check it?"
I shook my head and reached in my pocket pulling out my phone. I opened my phone and checked the text.
Jace [5:00] - Y'all niggas call me bruh
I showed Stephanie and she ran her fingers through her hair.
"Call him back."
I did as she said but it went straight to voice mail. Pulling the phone away from my ear, I walked to the front door.
"Somebody got his phone."
Stephanie was hot on my tracks.
"What do you mean?" She was clueless as I was but I was about to get to the bottom of this shit.
"His phone went to voice mail. After you called they must have turned the phone off."
She stopped behind me at the front door as I stepped out on the porch.
"Where are you going?"
"To find Jace. But first I'm going to start with Mina and see what all she knows."
She nodded.
"Okay, let me go and get La--"
I shook my head at her .
"Nah, you stay here. Look in our closet in the back and you'll see a gun. It's UZI SMG 9mm Luger. Get it and go get Laya take her in to our room. Lock the door and stay there until I get back. I'll text you when to open the door. Now go. Keep trying Jace phone and be careful dat gun is dangerous. But I want you to blow any muthafucka dat try ta fuck withca."
She hesitated and walked to me and kissed me.
"Please be careful and I love you."
I smiled and tapped her chin, turning to walk to the truck. I waited until she closed the door until driving off.

Pulling up at Mina's crib, I hopped out out of the truck and walked up to the door. I adjusted the gun in my pants and tried the door. It was open. I walked in and looked around. It seemed empty so I walked up the steps and heard music playing from a back room. I headed up the hall and knocked on opened the door.
Mina was in the mirror prancing around and fixing her makeup. Fa Jace ta be dead, she sure was happy as hell.
"Knock, knock." I said, making her jump.
She turned around and faced me, dropping the towel she was holding to her chest.
"What the-- August what are you doing here?"
I walked in and closed the door.
"Where is Jace?"
She sighed and shook her head.
"When Stephanie called, I --"
"Ion care what you told her, I wanna know whea Jace at?"
She frowned at me.
"Wait, you think I know something that I'm not telling you?"
I chuckled and shook my head.
"You know I have always been civil with you. Neva spoke bad about you, nothing. But always had my doubts. Wanna know why I aint shake yo hand when we first me, I aint like yo ass. You had dis vibe dat I aint like. You was always a sneaky ass bitch dat took in da scene and looked at everybody."
She laughed and waved it off.
"August do you hear yourself. Do you think that I would do anything to you all like that? Your a former sniper, why would I ever try to side step you?"
"Good question, but you would and you did. But the crazy thing about it is that you was so fucked up. Stephanie trusted you and she kept telling me that you could be trusted."
She reached down and grabbed her towel and walked over to me.
"And you never told her any different. I'm innocent because there is nothing that have done. So you can walk out the same way you came and best believe I will be letting Stephanie know about all of this."
She began to walk passed me but I grabbed her arm and jerked against the door. I pulled my gun out and stuck in he face.
"Now befo I kill you, I'm gone ask you one more time. Whea is Jace? I know he is around and if he aint you da one killed him. Talk bitch."
"I had to."
I cocked my brow and tightened y grip around her throat.
"You had to what?"
"Kill him. I'm pregnant and he said that he wasn't ready for a baby. He told me he was leaving and I couldn't allow him to."
I bit my lip and thought about how I was going to tell Stephanie all of this.
"You have his phone."
"Yes, I say Stephanie call then you. August please I-I know that I shouldn't have but I couldn't afford for him to leave. I just couldn't."
"Whea da body?"
She began to cry which pissed me off even more.
"It-it's in the closet."
I promise it will all come together in the end!
