I am waked from my sleep by someone shaking me. I had feel asleep watching the football game. Damn Hazel's pregnancy is harder on me than her. I open my eyes and see Seven above me.

"Seven what the hell?" I yell and sit up. I look around and see Hazel getting dressed. The fuck did I miss?

"It's Kai Frank! We can't find him and I'm scared something has happened.." She says frantically explaining. I get up and put my shirt on and started lacing up my shoes.

"What happened ?! What did he do?" I ask and she starts breathing hard. I stand up and grab her shoulders.

"Seven breathe and tell me what is going on with our son!" I say calmly while looking her in the eyes. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"He found out Kendra was sexually assaulted. He got angry and I think he went to follow the guy!" She said frantically. I instantly felt a sense of urgency in the pit of my stomach.

"I'm gonna call him." I say taking my phone off the charger. I call him and the phone rings. I call again and then he answers..

"Son, where are you?" I ask and I hear crying on the other line.

"I fucked up pops! I fucked up!" He said into the phone. This moment made my heart drop and I knew the worst day of my life had come. My biggest fear... that my son would be like me.

"Send me the location and then turn this phone off." I say then hang up. Seven is looking at my intently waiting for me to update her.

"Go home Seven. Wait there for me and I will come let you know what's going on. He's fine and everything is going to be handled." I say trying to ease her mind even though I was alarmed myself.

"Wait wait no! I'm going where you going! I need to see him!" She yells and I look at Hazel. She looks at me and she knew that this was a time for her to help.

"Come on let me take you home!" She said to Seven and grabbing her hand. Seven looked at me with pleading eyes and I looked away to keep from crying. Seven was once the love of my life and seeing her sad was breaking my heart.

"Take care of my baby! Please bring him back to me." She yelled on her way out the door. I grabbed my gun from the lock box under my bed and put in in my waist band. I put my shirt over it and go to the closet. I grab a shoe box off the top shelf and opened it. I pulled out two stacks of cash and put them into a bag. I put the bag on and looked out the window to make sure they were gone and they were. I walked out the door and went to the car. Getting in I say a small prayer for protection.

I put his location in my GPS and it brought me to a house in a good neighborhood. I park in the driveway and pull out my gun. I make sure it's loaded and I tuck it back in my waistband. I get out leaving the bag in the car. I walk up to the front door and knock. The door swings open and I see an old lady with a gun. I can't help but chuckle at her.

"You the boys father?" She asked and I nod. She waves her hand and I follow her inside. She closes the door behind me and I felt so comfortable in here. Even though this lady was obviously a gangster I felt like she was really sweet. I follow her to the kitchen and I see Kai at the kitchen table crying. His friend Derrick sitting beside him trying to calm him down. Kai looks up at me and jumps us and rushed over to hug me. He cried on my shoulder and I rubbed his back. I knew that the worst was yet to come. My son never hugs me like this. He never let me see him cry.

"I killed the nigga. I killed him pops.." he confessed in a whisper in my ear. I look and see Derrick looking cool and calm.

"Calm down son. What's done is done. Come sit down we need to talk. All of us." I say looking at Derrick and he sighed sitting back in his chair. We went walk to the table and I sit down.

"Now what was done. Where and how?" I ask and they look at each other. Derrick gestures toward Kai and he wipes his tears and sat up putting his hands on his head. As they start telling the story I felt my heart literally break for my son. What have I done to have my so fall into the same trap I did? Did I not do my job?

"Pop...pops what should I do?" He brought me out of my thinking what this question. I see both of them looking at me and I sighed. There honestly was not way out of this but through it. If he has followed my footsteps this far then he might as well keep going.

"Y'all are gonna do what I did. You gone own up to it and we gone work to get you as less time as possible. Both of y'all." I say and Derrick starts laughing but I look at him seriously and he stops.

"You gotta be fucking kidding! Turn ourselves in? Are you nuts? I cleaned up everything and we would be stupid to do that." Derrick said looking crazy.

"Bruh my pops he been through this before. Not murder but he been to jail. He knows what he talking about." Kai said and Derrick smacked his teeth and hit the table.

"I ain't do that shit. You can but I'm gonna take my chances. Just don't speak on me when you up there." Kai looks at me and sighs.

"I can get you a lawyer. You don't have to run. I won't spare an expense when it comes to y'all." I say trying to convince him but Derrick looks like he isn't interested.

"I preciate it but I wanna be free until I can't no more. I love you bro and you know I helped cause you my brother. But you gotta return the favor and let me run." Derek speaks to Kai with pain in his voice. Kai and him hugged and then Derrick.

"Alright son lets go." I say standing and Kai stood up as well. Derrick stood up and Kai pulled him in. They hugged onto each other tight. I felt so sad but I had to hold it together. After that emotional moment we went to my car.

"So we gone turn you in then I will bail you out tomorrow. Son I will not rest until this is taken care of." I explain to him while I drive him to the police station. He wiped his face and took a deep breath.

"Paris is pregnant. We just found out." He confessed to me. I sigh and fight back tears.

"This reminds me so much of me and your mother. I was in jail and I didn't know when I turned myself in she was pregnant. I didn't know about you until I came home. I missed so much of your life. Jamal was there for you, and don't get me wrong I appreciate that. But I was your father, and I resented him for so long. But maybe I should have stayed out of your life because now you ending up like me. And I never wanted that. I never wanted that for you." I express my feelings as I parked into the parking lot. I look to him and he seemed to be thinking very hard about something. He didn't say anything so I decided to get out the car. He got out and we walked into the police station. I walk up to the bullet proof glass and looked at the female officer at the desk.

"Hello sir, how may I help you?" She asked smiling. I look at my son and he stepped up to the glass and I stepped back.

"I killed someone. I wanna turn myself in." He said and the officer's eyes got big. She pressed a button and an alarm started going off. Kai looked panicked.

"Put your hands up son. It's gonna be okay just stay calm." I say to him and he raised his hands in the air. Three white male police officers came in with guns drawn pointing them at Kai.

"Step back Sir !! Don't you fucking move !!" They yelled orders T the both of us. I stepped back and they approached him and started handcuffing him.

"Stay calm Kai. Don't say anything until your lawyer comes. It's gonna be okay." He said as they pulled him back and took him back through the back doors. After the doors closed I felt sick to my stomach. I turned around and walked out of the door and ran to my car. I drove fast to Seven's home where everyone was at. I parked and took my keys out of the ignition. I held my stomach and tried to swallow the sick feeling in my throat. I got out the car and as soon as I closed the door Seven's door swung open. I walked up feeling the world spin around my head.

"Where's my baby Frank? What happened?" Seven asked as soon as I got through the door. They all stared at me and I just crumbled mentally, physically and emotionally. I fell to my knees and started having a panic attack. Hazel walked up to me and feel on her knees too and hugged me tight.

"Call your sister. My baby boyyy! My baby boyyy he's gone. It's all my fault." I said as Hazel held me. Her arms and strength were holding me up and keeping me from just breaking down and dying.

"It's all my fault." I whisper
