Stab Her in Her Back

Chapter 3

Cece
Since yesterday I haven't seen or heard from Tracy. I really don't want to. I was eating oatmeal and watching law and order when I heard a knock to my door. I got up and opened the door.
"Cece Collins?" The police officer asked.
"This is she." I replied.
"We have a war-rent for you arrest."
"What? I did nothing."
"Anything you say may and will be used against you in the court of law."
My heart sank through the floor. What am I going to do? What about James?
"Officer I have a baby." I said as he handcuffed me.
"Where is the baby now?" He asked.
"With his lousy father."
"Well he will be with his father until we are done questioning you."
The officer carried me to the car. He opened the door and I got in the back seat. I feel like a criminal. But I didn't do anything.

At the station
The officer sat across from me.
"Do you know Kendal?" The officer asked.
"Kendal? Do you have a last name?"
"Kendal Roth."
"Yeah I know him."
"When was the last time you heard from him?"
Its a good thing the girls and I already planned this in advance. Everybody's alibi is that he is Asia's boyfriend and we haven't heard from him.
"I don't know why?" I responded.
"He is missing. A source told us that you might know where he is." The officer stated
"No I don't."
"Were you close with him?"
"Hardly."
"How do you know him?"
"He is my friend's boyfriend."
"You mean Asia David?"
"Yeah."
"And you have no idea what happened to him?"
"Not at all."
"Okay you are free to go."
"Thank you."
I walked out of the station and called an uber.
I waited outside for the uber.

When the uber pulled I got inside. I gave the driver directions to my place.

Raniqua
What's with this police shit? I swear if another one of them dirty mother fuckers touch me Ima beat some ass. Further more how do they know about the Kendal shit? I bet Tracy and her walk in pussy done snitched. Felicia and I sat on the couch. She flipped through the channels. I called Asia.
"Hey girl." She answered.
"Bitch you had police on yo ass?"
"Yeah..you too?"
"Yeah bitch. I think we need a meeting. Asap."
"Okay girl I'm on my way."
I ended the call.
"Call Cece." I said to Felicia.
"I already texted her." She replied
"Okay."

When Asia and Cece arrived we tried to figure out how the police found out. My gut is telling me Tracy did it. She was too shaky when she dropped us off.
"Tracy did it. Case closed." I stated.
"But Tracy had been our girl since we were little." Asia said.
"Tracy also fucking with my baby daddy." Cece threw in.
"Honestly I agree with Raniqua." Felicia stated.
"So what do we do about her?" Asia asked.
"Right now? Nothing. We have to get the police off our dick first." Cece suggested.
"That's smart." I replied.
"So if they call us back for more questions we stick to the same story." I said.
"Yeah." They all replied.
Felicia went in the kitchen and started cooking. Everything smelt so good. I wonder what she's making. What ever it is I know its gonna taste good. Felicia is one of the best chefs in the state of Florida. She has a catering company. She is always making something for a party or a social event. I love that she is doing what she loves to do.

Tracy
Jeremiah collapsed on the side of me. He was out of breath and sweaty. I started panting. He just laid the pipe on me. I heard a loud cry coming from the other room. Jeremiah threw on some pants and went in the next room. He came back after a few minutes. He  kissed me in my cheek. Then my neck. I'm too out of breath for another round.
"Baby wait." I moaned.
"What?" He replied.
"I'm tired."
"You wanna take a nap or you want some food?"
"I want some food."
"Pizza?"
"Sure."
He grabbed his phone and called Toppings Pizza. I love their pizza.  Jeremiah when to check on James again. I heard a knock at the door. I threw on my dress and walked to the door. That dick got me walking funny and shit. I opened the door. Cece was standing in front of me. Oh shit.
"Where is Jeremiah?" She asked.
"With his son." I sassed.
She let herself inside. The fuck?
She walked into the room where James was. I followed behind.
"Did you feed him?" Cece asked Jeremiah.
"Yeah." Jeremiah replied.
"Did you change him?"
"Yeah. He just had a nap."
"He probably needs to change now."
I watched Cece walk over to the baby bag and grabbed some pampers. She changed James.
"Thanks for finally doing something for your son." She said.
"Yeah." Jeremiah replied.  Cece carried her son and his stuff and left.

Asia
I came home and saw Africa laying on the living room floor. She was on her phone texting. I smiled at her. I went in my room. I have a lot of marking to do. This is going to take forever. I have to mark over 100 papers. I love being an english teacher but I don't love marking papers.  I sat on my bed and grabbed my folder with my eleventh grade papers. I read the stories and started marking.
"Asia?" Africa said as she walked into my room.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Is Kendal coming back?" She asked.
"No Afri. He is never coming back."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I just know. Trust me. And take your medicine."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
Africa walked out of my room. And I marked papers until I fell asleep.

The next morning
I almost over slept. I got up and went in Africa's room. She was out cold. I woke her up. She peeled her eyes open.
"You gotta get ready for school." I said.
"Okay." She replied softly.
I walked out of her room and went into my bathroom. I took a quick shower and fixed my hair.
