In Love With A Criminal (Christopher Velez)

0.19

Friday December 1st, 2017.

During these past 2 weeks, me and Christopher have been digging around finding out about that one night Yashua was talking about. Now, we have a lead and we are for sure that he was talking about the night Alan died.

Christopher asked some questions to the guys who work for Richard about what they knew. They refused at first, but you know, he had his own way to get them to talk, if you know what i mean. The one who knew everything though, was Erick. 

He was a tough cookie to crack and it hurt me to see Christopher punching him every 5 seconds. After all, he is Naydelin's cousin. After like 10 minutes, he managed to make him spill all the beans about everything he knew. 

And thanks to Erick, we know the whole truth about everything. Today, Richard is finally bringing Aaliyah home. We're gonna finally face him.

Flash back to November 27th.

"Erick come on!" Christopher yelled as he punched him on the right side of his face. "Tell us what you know dammit!"

"I already told you! I don't know shit!" he said coughing.

"Come on  Erick please. We know you know something" i begged.

Christopher kept beating the living shit out of him. Before all of this i told him straight up not to go all out when talking to him. His hoe ass of course didn't listen to me and completely ignored what i told him.

"Fine! I'll talk man" Erick said as he dropped to the floor.

"Good. Speak" Christopher said as he helped him up and got him sitting on the chair.

"He never wanted to kill Alan. It was all scripted" Erick said breathing heavily.

Me and Christopher looked at each other shockingly in disbelief. (Yes bitches, i use big words)

"Huh?" i said weirded out.

"Richard told me that the big boss was unhappy with Alan's job and wanted him to be killed. He tried and tried talking to him, but the big boss never changed his mind. He's just that scary and powerful. Big boss said if he didn't kill Alan, he would make sure Aaliyah suffered worse consequences than death" Erick said facing down.

"Who's this big boss?" Christopher asked.

"Richard's boss. No one's allowed to know. Richard at the time was able to just trust me, Joel and Zabdiel. This was way before you joined and he never told you about the big boss because he hasn't had any trouble with him" Erick said.

"Then why didn't he fucking tell me his boss wanted to kill Alan?!" Christopher exclaimed.

"Because he knew you would want to fight back. Through him is how Richard hires us and pays us. He wasn't going to just revolt against the top of the pyramid. It's a complete death wish" Erick said.

My mind at this moment is filled with thoughts. I can't even fucking think straight.

"Wait but what did you mean everything was scripted?" i asked.

"As soon as Richard talked to the big boss, he called Alan right away and told him the situation. We met up with him and Alan said he would do anything to keep Aaliyah safe, even if it meant risking his own life. He came up with the whole plan about segun him not finishing the job, all that shit that happened was fake. He did finish the job, but not to the big boss's liking" Erick said.

"So then what truly happened that night?" Christopher asked.

"Richard knew Ronnie was there the whole time" Erick said.

I looked up in disbelief. Fuck. What the actual fucking fuck..

"Huh?" i said astonished. (Big words again, teehee)

"Alan wanted to be with you the night he died. He told Richard where you guys were gonna be and everything. I was sadly in on it, the only difference was Christopher had no idea. That night after we left, Richard and I were inside the truck in complete silence. Tears were failing down his cheeks as he kept hitting the steering wheel, completely regretting what he did" Erick said.

"Then if Richard knew i was there," i said as my voice trailed off. "Why the fuck am i here instead of home" i said as my eyes started to water. "Wha-what what's the damn point of me being here?"

Christopher looked at me. His face was all i needed to see to make me regret what i just said.

"Christopher no i-i didn't mean it like that" i said as i walked towards him.

He turned his back against me. "No you're right. You have no business being  with us anymore."

"Christopher, dude. Listen to yourself. And plus i'm not even done" Erick pouted.

"Then hurry it up but before i go all out" Christopher scolded.

"The reason Ronnie is here, is because he wanted you to finally be happy. He knew how much you loved Veronica and knew how much both of you would need each other. He told me that once the truth were to be let out, it would be you and Ronnie's choice on what to do next" Erick said.

Tears were rolling down my cheeks. Fucking Alan.

"I'm sorry i never told you anything. I was still supposed to wait until Richard gave me a word on when we would explain everything" Erick said glancing at the floor.

"Don't worry. Richard is bringing Aaliyah home in a few days. We're gonna confront him there" Christopher said.

"Wait does Yocelyn know about all this?" i asked.

"Not a clue. She'll be as shocked as you and is gonna be super upset" Erick said.

End of flashback.

I just hope Christopher doesn't loose his mind when he sees Richard. He hasn't seen him since that night and i'm scared to see how this will end.

Besides that, i made up my mind to go back to Weston and finish school. I love being here but i miss home so much. I talked to Christopher about this and he completely supports me. After i graduate, i'll be moving back here to Orlando to continue the life i started here and also fight for Christopher.

We haven't really talked about our feelings lately. Since the day we were at Weston, we've been all lovey dovey i guess you could say. We hold hands, kiss, sleep together (no not in that way pervs) and all that stuff. There hasn't been any clarification on what we are yet, but hopefully that'll come soon.

"Hey Ronnie, he's here" Christopher said as he came into my room.

"Let's go" i said as i stood up and closed my door behind me.

As we went down the stairs, Yocelyn quickly opened the door. Richard and Yashua were at the door. Richard handed Aaliyah to her and him and Yashua stepped inside.

"Why are you coming in?" Yocelyn asked nervously.

"I have some business to discuss with Christopher" he said as he roamed the living room.

"He-he's busy. I have him doing something for me" Yocelyn stuttered as she handed Aaliyah to Yashua.

"Doesn't look like that. He's right there standing at the stairs and he's wi-" Richard said but quickly stopped himself as he saw me.

"Veronica what are you doing?!" Yocelyn exclaimed.

"Ask your baby daddy. He's lied to all of us all this whole fucking time" I said.
