Chapter 5

Ghost

It has been two weeks since we've been in hiding in Tennessee and I was stressed. I had gotten word that Jordan was curious about my whereabouts and I had informed my connects to let him know that I had to disappear til things cooled down. He paid me my money for the hit but apparently he wanted to do business together given that he had taken over Nas and Dutchess's territory. But I wasn't interested and I told him that when we initially made the plans.

I looked down at my phone ringing and saw it was an unknown number calling me, I picked up.

"Yo wassup," I said.

"How's everything going is the plan still set in stone. Is she safe," asked the unknown person.

"Yeah she straight just a little depressed," I said

"Aye man don't tell her the plan you know she's a hothead and she has to be in the dark or this whole shit will fall," said the unknown caller.

"Yeah I know, I'm good at my job ain't nothing going to happen to her," I said.

"Cool I gotta go...talk to you later," said the unknown caller before hanging up.

I went back inside and saw Dutchess in the kitchen eating some cereal. I was surprised she was eating given that all she did was stay in her room.

"Good morning," I said walking by her to the fridge.

She looked up but didn't say anything back. This whole thing with her was weird and I wasn't about to keep playing this game with her.

She got up from the table and went upstairs and before I knew it I heard a door slam and lock.

"Bitch," I said under my breath before fixing me something to eat.

I sat down and ate my food, afterwards I cleaned my dish and sat in the living room watching tv.

My phone dinged indicating I had a text message, I looked at my phone and saw it was from Tia. I groaned before opening the message.

Tia: hey bae where have you been. I miss you 😭?

I sighed before responding

I thought I told yo ass I had to disappear. You already know what's up and don't be going and telling nobody where I'm at or I'll have to kill you and you know I will.

Tia: Ghost you don't have to worry but can I come see you this weekend. I miss you and I learned a new trick that I wanna show you 💦🍆👅

I smirked before responding back.

Come up this weekend but make sure no one knows that your coming to see me.

Tia: I got you babe.. see ya this weekend 😘😛

I looked at the text before putting my phone down. I was meeting with my uncle and cousins today to discuss business and the situation. They knew a little bit about it since they ran a drug business in Tennessee specifically Memphis and Nashville.

A couple hours had past when I heard the doorbell ring. I got up to open the door and was greeted by my Uncle Mo and my cousins Redd and LB.

"Wassup lil nigga" my uncle said as we gave eachother dap.

"Man wassup unc," I said back.
