My Son's Father

Ji-Hoo?

                     Chapter 24

Kyrah and Zeniya went to a corner store and parked the car. Then they went on foot to the nearest hood. Once they were out of sight, a car pulled up next to their car. Kyrah and Zeniya entered the projects as they noticed someone following them. They disappeared as person lost their trail. Kyrah and Zeniya got to a door and knocked. It soon opened and a woman opened the door. They went inside and took of their hoods.

"Hey lady, it's been awhile". A woman said as Zeniya smiled.

"Hey Nix, how you been"? Zeniya said as she hugged the woman.

They sat down at a table. Nix looked at Kyrah.

"I've been working this job and ready to go home. Been watching this nigga that think he played the loan shark. I got three more weeks here, then back to my three story house in the country".

"Okay", Kyrah said as she lit a cigarette. "What you got for me".

"Okay, so word has it. . . . That three asian mothafuckas entered the Quaters. Two of them had full sleeves and the other one had a snake head on the side of his neck". Nix said.

". . . .Wait, what kind of snake"? Zeniya asked.

"A king cobra". Nix said.

"What's up, Zee"? Kyrah asked.

"I got to make a call".  Zeniya said as she pulled out her phone.

She started looking through her contact list. Then she called someone.

"Hello, Baba Brandon. This Zeniya, you did some work on me a while back". She said before Mr. Brandon cut her off.

"I remember you my child. What can I do for you"? He said as his raspy African accent rung.

"I have son to protect from my past, Baba. I need you to unlock whatever you locked up inside of me".  Zeniya  said awkwardly not knowing how to explain.

"Tell me Zeniya have you forgiven the people that did you wrong? Most importantly have you forgiven yourself"? Baba Brandon said.

"Yes Baba. I have found my serenity and I am okay with that".  She told him as humble as she possibly can.

"I see you have grown alot". Baba Brandon said.

"Hold on, Nix can I use your room real quick"? Zeniya asked.

"Yea, right thru that door". Nix said pointing at the door.

Zeniya went in the room and closed the door. Kyrah looked at Nix.

"So, what's up with you and Zee"? Nix asked.

"Erin came up dead. I believe that Ji-Hoo did it and coming back for Zee". Kyrah said.

"Wasn't they married"? Nix asked as she leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms over her chest.

"I heard that but she never said anything about it".

"I'mma ask her".

"Do you by chance have a feel on where ole dude may be"? Kyrah asked.

"Nah, but knowing him. He wouldn't be too far from Zee. If he's here for her, he will be close to her. Cause he could watch her and protect her from his enemies". Nix said.

"Right". Kyrah said crossing her legs.

In the room, Zeniya sat at the edge of the bed as Baba Brandon spoke as he broke his hypnotic spell on Zeniya. Zeniya started to tear up as old feelings and memories were released from within. Yet her mind was still at peace.

"Thank you, Baba Brandon". Zeniya said.

"Tell me, Zeniya. When was your last fist-fight"?

"To be honest with you Baba. I cant tell you". She told him.

"Okay, I want you to come to Me and train under me for three months at our MMA gym. Bring your family as well. ". Baba Brandon said.

"Yes Baba". Zeniya said getting up and walking to the door.

"Àsè". Baba Brandon said.

"Àsè". Zeniya said before hanging up the phone.

Zeniya but her phone in her pocket and went back in the kitchen where Nix and Kyrah were. She sat at the table and looked at thrm.

"What I missed"? Zeniya asked.

"Were you and an ole dude married"? Nix broke the silence.

". . . . Well, we had a engagement ceremony. Promising to marry one day. But the bitch abandoned me. I got to take a family trip soon, so let's do whatevea this shit is so I can get back to my son". 

"Yo, yo, yo. . . Wait a minute. Zee, what happened in that room"? Nix asked.

"Baba, got me back right. So, let's go. I got someone waiting for me at home. . . . . For the record. After I deal with Ji-Hoo. I'm done. Dont come back at me. I have broken to many promises with my parents and myself. I wont do the same with my son".

"Where is this coming from"? Nix asked.

"She is done with us kuz, we were to late coming to get her from jail". Kyrah said.

"Ooooh, I feel you mah. But that's the way of this lifestyle. We can never get out, we only blend into this fucked up picture that the world painted". Nix told her.

"I don't wanna here about all that. I'm ready to get back to my family.  Love y'all but I'm out". Zeniya headed for the door.

Zeniya was soon on the other side of the door and walking down to the entrance. A tall dark shadowy figure popped up before her as she started to back up.

"Let me go, before Zee have another bitch fit. Love ya Nix". Kyrah said leaving.

"Be safe out there". Nix said as Kyrah closed the door.

Kyrah jogged to go catch up with Zeniya as she saw her struggling with the tall dark figured person. Kyrah ran up and started helping Zeniya fight the person. The more  they fought with the person, Zeniya noticed the person was messing the chances for blows. Zeniya kicked the person away from them and grabbed Kyrah.

"Listen, let me try something. Just stay back okay". Zeniya whispered as the man started to charge again.

Zeniya attacked once again and fought with the person. Zeniya was determined to get that hood off of that person. She had a hint on who the person was. Zeniya skills could use some practice. They fought their way out the project's as Kyrah rushed to get the car.

Zeniya punched the person in the chest. Zeniya moved in as the person groaned in pain.

"Ji-Hoo"? Zeniya called out as she took off the hood revealing a Korean man.

"Hey Sexy". He said.

Seeing him in under the street lights brung back memories. She stood enchanted by her thoughts as Ji-Hoo grabbed her up and kissed her lips. Zeniya didnt pulled nor push away. Why? She didn't honestly know.

"Imma see you tomorrow. Now, go home to your son". Ji-Hoo told her and rushed off as Kyrah came back in the car.
