The minute we heard the shot we took off running. We didn't know what had happened and Orlando nor Damon was in site. Soon as we bent the corner where they were me and Lil. Travis stopped in our traces. I seen Damon still standing with his gun aimed towards Paula's body. I couldn't believe my eyes, I felt like I was ready to faint at the site of Paula laying dead by a near by car with a bullet to the chest.

"Come on we have to go" Orlando said pulling on my shirt. But I was stuck I couldn't move.

"Come on niggas" he yelled as he pulled me and Lil. Travis away.

I pushed Orlando off of me " I'm not leaving her yo".

"Come on Mishon we can't stay" Orlando said pulling me forcefully away.

The minute we stepped back in the kickback Orlando plopped down on the couch feeling a bit relieved. I didn't realize til we got back that Orlando was obviously high off something and it wasn't weed. My blood was boiling, I walked over to Damon and jacked him up against the wall.

"What the fuck did you do??? Why did you kill her you knew she meant something to me"? I yelled in his face.

He never responded he just stood there staring at me. 

"Relax Mishon it's not that serious" Orlando said Chuckling.

"It is that serious bruh ... Y'all killed that woman man She meant a lot to me and you killed her. She was a good woman she didn't deserve to die like that" I yelled still holding Damon up by his collar. I was so mad I didn't even realize tears was streaming down my cheeks.

Orlando kept laughing like something was funny which was pissing me off even more.

"Man for what she did to my dad that bitch had it coming" Damon said boldly.

I let go of Damon and  pushed him  away from me. He almost slide across the floor but he caught his balance.

"You lucky you was my boy... Cause I almost fucked ya ass up. Just know from here on out I look at you totally different" I said.

I stepped closer to him with my fist balled up "And as long as you live don't you ever you out ya mouth side ways about her" I warned still wanting to knock his head off his shoulders.

"Calm down yo" Lil. Travis said calmly trying to grab me back. I pushed away from him.

"Fuck off me!!! How the fuck can you be so calm at this point she wasn't just close to me she was close to you to" I said. I mugged Lil. Travis and left out the kickback.

I was pissed, hurt and wanted to cry some more. Paula was dead all because of Damon and Orlando ass. All I knew was after tonight I could never look at them the same. My head was so gone right now I had to get away from them for a while my heart was hurting and I needed some time alone away from everybody.

Dinner had been done for over a hour now. The table was neatly set, the food was smelling great and we was all ready to eat. I kept looking at the my watch wondering where my wife was. She said she was on her way home last time I talked to her but she still wasn't here.

Shi'day and Rapheal picked some roses at the table and put put them in vases.

"Where's y'all mother?? She's late" I said calmly out loud.

"I know" said Shi'day.

"I've called her twice she didn't answer" Rapheal said.

    The door bell rang...

I rushed to the door thinking why is she ringing the doorbell??? Maybe she forgot her keys. But when I opened the door I was staring at two Chicago police officers. One was a chubby bald African American male close to his late 30's and the other one was a slim tall white dude with light brown hair, he looked to be in his early 30's.

"Hey... How can I help you guys"? I asked.

"Hello... I'm officer Wilson and this is my partner officer hardy" the officer said.

I nodded my head Waiting for them to tell me exactly why they were here. By then Shi'day and Rapheal joined me at the door.

"Do you happen to know a Paula Dawson"? The white officer asked.

"Yes that's my wife... Why is she okay"?? I asked with a worried face.

"Is my mother Ard"? Rapheal asked.

"I'm sorry there's been a accident. She was shot and pronounced deceased -" the sound of Shi'day sobbing cut the black officer off.

Rapheal fell to the floor with tears in his eyes while Shi'day stood behind me crying her eyes out.

Once I came to terms with what the officers had said I lost it. Tears were flowing as I grabbed my children and held them tight as they both cried for their mother.

"There will be a full investigation but for now it's been ruled as a homicide" the white officer said. You could tell in their voices they didn't wanna be the ones to brake the news.

"Who did this"? I cried out wanting answers.

"For now sir we have no suspects or anyone to point fingers. I'm sorry I understand this is a very hard time for you and your family. For the time being we will respect your privacy and give you space in ya time of mourning. If there's anything you come up with on who might would have wanted to hurt ya wife please come forward. Take my card and contact us if you have any information that can help us" the black officer said.

My wife of all these years, the love of my life had been taken away from me, away from her children. I hadn't seen my son cry since he was a kid he was always the tough one but his heart was torn in a million pieces.
