THE UNKNOWN

Chapter 8

Kim walked into the diner at lunch rush hour; NeNe was busy taking orders while the rest of the employees were taking orders out to customers waiting for their food.

Good afternoon Mrs. Washington how are you feeling today? Good afternoon Sue; I'm doing well today; how about you? Well, today is not a good today for me; I'm received bad news this morning before coming to work. Sue knew that Kim loved and protected her family and employees. She knew that she would help her solve this problem if possible. Little did Kim know the problem was the very Nigga she killed the other night; well Sue give me about an hour and we'll talk about everything, and I'll see if I could help you.

Hey, sis, how is my little niece or nephew holding up in there? Are you eating right and have you made your doctor appointment? Yes, little sister, I made my first doctor appointment for this Wednesday, May 15 @ 2:30 in the afternoon; as far as eating this baby don't like anything but broccoli and damn butter almond ice cream; Fish and chicken time-2-time. Hahaha that sound about right NE; I couldn't eat anything but chicken and ice cream with Joyce & Chase. Babies will change your eating habits for sure. Well if you need anything let me know; or is Gene going with you this Wednesday? I don't know because he been acting crazy lately about having a baby; his mom and sisters been acting mad about me having his baby. Like what the fuck my child has anything to do with them not liking us. I'm not fucking them so why the fuck is he acting like a dirty ass Nigga? Ne don't fucking worry about that dumb-ass Nigga he'll come around or he can walk forever. That my fucking word' I don't give a fuck about him or his nasty ass family. You're my big sister and anything you need you two will have. I know Kim I just mad that I can't beat the shit out his sisters yet again! Its cool Ne promise they will be dealt with I promise you that sis. So if he doesn't go with you, I'll get the men to work that afternoon, and Mika & I will go with you. A sister day out; meet our new niece or nephew then lunch at the Chinese Buffet on Columbus Blvd. Thank you, baby sister you always have my back.

Kim went to the kitchen to talk with Mike about running the Diner Wednesday afternoon; she knew that he would make sure that everything was okay while they were away from the Diner for that afternoon. She also called Sue back to her office to talk about her little problem. Kim turned on the T.V. in the family office to watch the News; she knew that something should have been said about the bodies her and Chuck told out the other night. Channel 29 News was talking about the five bodies found on Fitzwater Street; they had no witnesses, and no local cameras got a clear shot of the killers. Kim was never worried because she knew that their employer covered all basics before calling them. Sue knocked on the door, and Kim turned off the television; come in Sue. Hey, Mrs. Washington; please call me Kim. So what's going Sue; you look like you upset. Well, Kim, my husband was killed the other night down South Philadelphia; someone shot him to death in the middle of Fitzwater Street. Kim heart damn near stopped, and she almost lost it. She remembered to maintain her composure while she was listening to Sue talk about the same Nigga she laid out for disrespecting her. Kim had no idea that Sue was married or was from SP; she always thought she was from Uptown like them; at least that's the address she was using. Kim now had to find out who she was and how the fuck she end up here. Kim's head was spinning she was thinking about her ever next move, and how to calm Sue down.

Damn Sue that's fucked up; do they have any idea who killed him? Shit, we didn't even know you were married. I'm so sorry about your husband; I don't know what I would do if anything happened to Terrell. Well if there is anything we can do to help just let me know. Well, I do need help; see John just got out of jail about two months ago from a 5-year sentence. I'm the only one working at this point because he was unable to find a job; I have to take care of everything like bills & our three children. I have no money for his service and never got life insurance because I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me. Sue was crying so hard that Kim could barely understand what she was saying. All Kim knew at this point was Sue was a stranger and she had to find out knew she was and fast. Kim already knew she had to call her uncle right after the little meeting for a complete background check on Sue.
