"Who you workin' for?"
I spit the blood the formed in my mouth on whoever this tough guy is supposed to be.
"You-"
"Enough Jordon!"
The dude backed up, staring at me the whole time.
"Fuck are you looking at!" I yelled.
"Well, what do we have here?" Chaz said, standing in front of me.
"Where's Ashanti?" I asked.
"Fuckin' her is what got you in this shit now!"
He nodded for the guy to leave and he got up and left us alone.
"So, you was gonna turn me in huh?"
"I don't know what you're talkin' about."
"Liar."
He grabbed a remote and pointed it to a tv that I didn't know was in here. Ashanti popped up on the screen all bruised up, laying on a dirty floor with nothing on. She looked like she had been through hell and they weren't taking it easy on her yet. Not even forty-eight hours ago, I was making love to the same body that I'm sure Chaz's crew just abused. I was the only child, and never had the luxury of having that bond that you would have with a sibling. This nigga has that and instead of protecting his sister, he's torturing her. Regardless of that, I love her and I do everything I can for the people I love. I wanted to kill Chaz.
"Ya know, you didn't have to bring her into this." he said with a sinister smile.
"Why do you treat her the way you do?"
"'Cause at the end of the day, I'm all about me! Fuck everybody, even family!"
He rambled on about family not even being trustworthy, not noticing I escaped from the ropes they had me tied with.
"Alright Chaz, I get it! Just... tell Ashanti I love her."
"Ashanti will probably be dead soon".
"What?"
"By the time them boys get through with her, if she isn't dead she'd wish she were dead".
"What are you having them do to her?"
"Some of everything. I don't know about you, but I can't fuck with a female who's been ran through over and over again. Just not right".
"You're having them rape her!"
"By the looks of it, she likes suckin' and fuckin' niggas she shouldn't trust, like you".
I got up and quickly tackled Chaz to the ground. I managed to get the gun that was lying on the floor. I cocked it and pointed it at him.
"Oh, you gonna shoot me now? Kill me and you'll never find Sha".
"Tell me where she is!"
He laughed. "Na nigga, life isn't that easy. Didn't ya grandma used to tell you that?"
"Don't dare say shit about my grandmother".
"You know how you came home from school and they said she had a heart attack? I paid the officers to say that".
"What?" my hand began to shake.
"I paid them to lie to your dumb ass".
"What the fuck did you do to my grandmother you sick son of a bitch?"
"I shot her right in that super dome head of hers and watched her brains splatter on y'all family picture".
I punched Chaz in the mouth then put a bullet in his chest. He lay under me motionless and I reached in his pockets to grab his phone. I dropped the gun on the floor next to him and turned back to the video, dialing the number for my boss.
"Taylor, where are you? We've been looking all over for you man!"
"I don't know this address, so track this phone. Me and Chazmere are in the basement".
"Are you injured?"
"Nothing that I haven't gotten before. I had to shoot him though".
"Hold tight we'll be there".
I hung up the phone then threw it across the room. I looked back up and I caressed the tv monitor.
"I love you baby." I whispered. "I won't stop looking for you".
I pulled the chair I was tied to by the window and caught my breath. Not moments later I heard the sound of my co workers barging into whatever building they had us in. More men came down the steps and started tending to Chaz. My boss jogged over to me and the paramedics started looking my body over. I looked over at them picking up Chaz's body and I could've sworn he looked at me and winked.
************************
I walked into my department's office and everyone gave me a round of applause. It was a applause I didn't deserve. Yeah, I finally got who they were looking for but I ended up losing Ashanti to accomplish that. I tried getting a location of where she was but no one could figure it out. By this time, she's probably dead anyway. I know I told her I wouldn't stop looking for her but I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't bare getting another day of disappointment. If she is dead, she's better off anyway. Anything is better than being around me.
I knocked on my boss's door and heard him yell for me to enter. He looked up at me and smiled.
"Great job out there Taylor. We have that piece of shit behind bars now".
"I didn't kill him when I shot him?"
"He had on a vest thank God".
"Thank God?"
"Did you want to kill him?"
I hesitated. "No, I didn't".
"Good. I had them deposit the rest of the money in your account. Next week I need you on-"
"There won't be a next week for me here".
"What are you talking about?"
I took my gun and badge out of my pants and placed it on his desk.
"You're quitting? Why?"
"This job took a lot out of me and I realized I'm just not cut out for this anymore. Thank you for the opportunity to serve my community".
He still looked as if he had more to say but I didn't let him get it out. I left out of his office, feeling worse than I did when I entered it.
