The Cartel Part 2: A Thin Line

36

The house was quiet, but that's exactly what Kelsey needed. After dinner, and after everyone left Shamar and Kelsey agreed that it would be best if she stayed at the house with him and the kids until they got everything situated.. For a moment, only for a moment.. they were putting their differences aside..

She sat on the balcony guzzling down a glass of wine while overlooking the ocean, her life was no where near where it used to be and she didn't know who was to blame for that ..

Hearing the balcony door slide open then close she knew it was Shamar behind her just by the scent of his cologne ..

"We need to talk.." He said as he made his way around her, leaning against the glass balcony wall .. he blocked her view ..

"About what ? I thought we already talked .." She said

"Not about that.. about this prison situation .." He replied

Frowning, she didn't know what he was even talking about ..

"What prison situation ?" She asked

Staring at her, he smirked "Paris ain't tell you ?" He asked

"Me and her not the best of friends right now.. so no, she didn't tell me .. what's up ?" Kelsey asked again, her heart slightly beating a little faster ..

"Well, it's more to the story about those feds that was at the airport in Greece.. That just wasn't in Greece, it's in the US too.." He said

"W-wh-what do you mean ?" Kelsey asked, slightly stuttering .. She kind of already knew what he meant but she needed to hear it from him ..

"They been building a case against us, them and Gianni back in Greece, so basically Gianni was cooperating with the US too .. which means they all in on this together .." Shamar replied

"But Gianni's dead, no case .." Kelsey said

"He still gave them all kind of shit, some of the information he gave them from Xander .. the rest of it idk how he got his hands on .. I just need to know was it you ?" Shamar asked

Standing up, Kelsey didn't hesitate as she walked over to Shamar and smacked him across the face ..

"I don't give a fuck what we got goin on don't you ever accuse me of turning you in or giving you up .. was it me ?! Fuck no, it wasn't me .." She yelled as she walked away ..

Sitting down, she filled her wine glass up to the top before drinking the rest out of the bottle..

"Well he got the info somehow .." Shamar said

"Check your so called niggas you got runnin the shit then .. not me .." Kelsey replied

"We lookin at 20 years .." He said

Glaring at him, Kelsey froze .. She was getting too much information at once ..

"You and Shane ?" She asked

Nodding, Shamar sat down ..

Kelsey sighed as she looked out at the water .. Her life really was going to shit .. Just thinking about it made her shake her head ..

"We going to 1/15 tonight, be ready .. at 11.." He said as he stood back up

"You think that's smart ?" Kelsey asked

"Even the feds not bold enough to step foot in 1/15 Kelsey, they watchin but they ain't make no move just yet.. and right now we need to make everything look as normal as possible .. including me and you .." He replied

"What ? You're scared if we get a divorce they may try to make me testify against you ?" She asked

"Naw, we both know you know better than that .." He said as he walked away ..
