"I talked to officer Hammel. He hasn't heard anything."
Monse told us as we all walked home. Cesar went MIA, and he hasn't been responding to any of our phone calls.
"And theres no John Doe at the morgue or the hospital since Cesar went missing." Ruby puts out as he held my hand.
"So thats a good thing. You know i feel it. Like any moment now, theres gonna be a sign." Monse had some hope. So do I. I know that he's not dead, i know it. "Hes gonna be okay and we're gonna be able to celebrate his birthday."
"His birthday is next week."
"Whats your point?"
"No point. Just stating a fact." Jamal said.
"I know hes fine. Although ive been leaving my dads car unlocked for him to crash in, and every morning its still unlocked." And Ive been leaving him text messages about he can stay at my house, keep low, but no answer.
"Well if youre leaving it unlocked and finding it unlocked, how do you know he hasn't been there?" I questioned her.
"If he was there, he'd lock it. He'd never leave it unlocked."
"Agreed." Jamal confirmed. "Cesar was nothing if not responsible."
"True. He took care of of business."
"He was the best brother/romance/bagman ive ever had." Monse and I frowned.
"Why are you talking in past tense?" I told him.
"We're just being realistic." I pushed Ruby. He shrugs.
"About what?"
"That he's probably...dead." I shook my head.
"You don't know that."
"Look, he went after Latrelle. Chivos car was found on 21st, thats prophet$ territory, and hes been MIA." Ruby points out. "You do the math."
"He's probably hiding out." Monse tells him.
"Monses right." I agreed with her.
"Nah, Rubys right." We snapped out heads to Jamal. "If someones missing for more than 48 hours, theres an 86% chance they're dead. No ones watching a show called 72 hours." Okay mister criminal minds, but its Cesar! He can make it through hell and back!
