Chapter 19Malcolm
"Yo, you did your thing man" Scarecrow said fist bumping me, the cellblock hooped and hollered, I smiled and dap everyone up. "Did anybody see Fred?" I ask then one dude says "When I got off the pile, I saw that he was stabbed in the arm but I don't know where he's at now. I hope he a'ight because that oatmeal this morning was good as hell" he rub his stomach, everyone laughing. I hope my homie is alright because he only have one more month to be in here and he's out of here, back to the Free world. "Stab man will try to find a chance to kill you man but no worries, we got your back man" Scarecrow nods his head. We call him Scarecrow because he has a tattoo of a scarecrow on his left and right shoulder plus he be scaring the shit out of people when he does his yoga poses, he would stand like a statue for a minute, then he would scare you, believe me, he scared me a few times. The guard comes in then walks to me "Malcolm, your wanted in the Warden's office" he hancuffs me, my cellmates start yelling "Oooooooohhh" like we were in high school and I'm going to the principal's office. I walk with the guard to the Warden's office, the guard knocks on his door, the Warden yells "come in" through the door, the guard opens the door, the Warden sits in his chair looking at my file while the guard uncuff me, and I sit down. "You wanted to see me Warden?" I interrupted him. "What the hell is going on with you starting a fight? I mean damn Malcolm, you've been in three fights in a week, what's your story this time?" The Warden ask me. "This time, I was trying to break up the fight, I was involved when I got a jab in the ribs by the dude who stabbed me in the shower, so I had to swing. Don't you have the cameras to check out what happened?" I point at the cameras. "Your right, but I want to know your side before I show you what happened because if you lie, this can get you more time on your sentence so your sticking with your answer?" he looks at me serious, I nod. We watch the video and he sees what is going on, the video shows what I said and he says "Alright, that's enough that's all I need to see, I'm sorry that I interrupted you but you were right. Uh, your cellmate Fred, he is dead on his arrival to the hospital, he was cut deep in the arm. He didn't make it to the hospital but don't start a big riot and go crazy and avenge him, this will only make your sentence longer than you have to be in here. I wanted to tell you because I know he was in your cell mate so your dismissed" he take his glasses off, and the guard cuff me, I get up from the chair. The guard walk me to my cell, damn, Fred is dead, I was going to help him make some money but now he won't be able to see his family, I ask the guard "Aye what time is it I have kitchen duty for lunch." "It's almost lunch time, I'll walk you to the kitchen" he keep his hand on my cuffs while I walk. Everyone is in the kitchen except Fred. The guard uncuff me then leaves, "I gotta tell y'all something before we start,. first off,. Fred is no longer here, he was stabbed during the fight, he died on his way to the hospital, I'll do my job and his too" I told the kitchen as they look sad when I told them the news. Damn man, it sucks that he isn't here but he is in a better place than in this hell hole. "We will work on the special lunch today for the people who are getting out today so today going to be something different, I was thinking about chicken, ham, two pieces of bread, with green beans, and a apple pie but I am going to change it to ham sandwich, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans and apple pie so they can have freedom food" he said as we all laugh. We all make the special day food for today, this food made me remember when Catalina made food when I was home, one day, she made some good ass ham, mashed potatoes with gravy, candy yams, collard greens, and some bomb ass peach cobbler, damn those were the days.
Catalina was working at a hair salon while the kids were in school, I finished working on my deal with Sampson, I would come home, and wait for Catalina to come home to make food. Jimmie, Shawn, and Quan came home, they would go upstairs to do their homework, Catalina would come home with her sexy ass walking in, switching her booty when she knows that I'm looking at. I followed her in the kitchen complimenting her, she would dance on me while she made the food shit I got hard as hell, we had sex in the kitchen while the kids were in their rooms playing video games, that's how Rico and Ashanti came about, after the food was done, we cleaned the kitchen where we had sex at then make the kid's plates, I yell "Dinner's ready" from the bottom of the stairs. The kids would come downstairs with the good smell of the food. That day, she cooked Mac and cheese with ham, collard greens, green beans, corn bread and apple pie, yeah my Catalina can cook her ass off when she is in the kitchen, when I smell the food in the kitchen, it reminds of Catalina's cooking. I can't wait to taste her cooking again whenever I get out of here because I will be with her and my family.
