Chapter 5

Marcus P.O.V
(Flashback)

I watched as Bri left the house. After she just shot me in front of my son. Not just my son, but our son. She left me here on the floor. I could be here dying and she left.
I could die right here, right now In front of me son. Then what? I swear to God, that bitch got crazier and crazier by the damn day. She acted like she didn't have a care in the world.

Luckily, she only shot me in my arm. I don't know if it was really her intentions to shoot me. All I know is that I'm shot. My son is next to me crying. I want to reach out to him, but I'm trying to gather my strength.

I finally gained enough strength just as he was about to dial 911. I reached out to Him and grabbed him with my good arm.

"Stop son. I'm okay."

"No dad. You're bleeding. You told me if something bad ever happened to call 911." He said through tears.

"I know son, I know. But I'm okay. Grab my cell phone. I want you to call someone else Instead."

He then walked over to me and grabbed my cell phone from my pocket. I told him how to get too the dial paid and dial the at home doctor.

Being that I was kinda still a drug dealer, the hospital is not a place I wanted to be. The hospital brings police and ion need police in none of my business. I knew a friend from high school who went to college to be a doctor.

He ended up changing his profession, but he still knew some things about being a doctor. So he's who I called in situations like these.

MJ put the phone on speaker an I told him what had happened. He was there within minutes. He got the bullet out and stitched me and bandage me up. I told MJ to look away. I didn't want his young eyes seeing this. Once the doc left I prepared myself for the questions I knew MJ was about to ask. We just sat there in silence for a few minutes. Then they began to roll in.

"Why did mommy do that to you dad?" He asked he looked over at me.

I thought about that question. I honestly didn't know the answer.
"I don't know son. I guess when you make people mad, they do bad things."

"Why doesn't she stay with us anymore?"

"I really don't know. Do you miss her?"

"No. I miss Ms.Jozie. Ms. Josie cooked and played cars with me." He replied.

I bit my tounge. I wasn't expecting that. " I Miss her too man. But it's just me and you from now on. You cool with that?"

He nodded his head. I held my fist up for him to bump it.

Me and MJ were on our way to king's house. Me and Kay were going to the jail house to see him while the kids stayed with Carrie.

When I got there, we quickly got the kids situated then we headed out. We arrived at the prison not to long after that. We went through the routine process and then sat at a table waiting on the inmates to come in.

Minutes later King came walking out, like he owned the prison. This was the King I always knew. He walked over to the table and hugged his wife then we embraced.

"You holding shit down for me out there Fam?" He asked me.

"You know it. How shit looking for you in here?"

He took a deep breath then replied. "They tryna get me for some drug charges again man. Said they got witnesses, live evidence and all."

"What?!" Kay yelled in shock.

"Witnesses? What kind of witnesses? I know ain't nobody bold enough to cross us like that dawg." I said aloud.

"Hell nah. You know they not. That's why they bitch asses probably in witness protection. But I guarantee we gone find them. They can't hold a real nigga down for too long. You know what to do Fam. Keep the business running. Both of them."
King said to me referring to the drug business and the legit businesses he had.

"Tell the workers to keep their eyes and ears open." He then turned to Kay. "Kayla, baby don't worry bout me. I'm good. Worry bout taking care of my kids can you do that for me ma?"

Kay had a worried look on her face as she replied. "You know I can King. But how? I don't have acces to your accounts."

"Damn." King mumbled under his breath. He cursed himself for never getting them a joint account. She never stressed him about it. He always gave her whatever she wanted so she never complained. She never had acces to his money, and now he was regretting it.

"Listen. Ima need you to get a job for the time being. And not no fucking stripper. Get a regular 9 to 5. But that's just until I get out. And when I do baby, I promise to put your name on every account I got."

Kay took a deep breath. "Okay."

"And get in touch with Bri and tell her what's up. My trial date is two weeks from now."

I decided to keep the altercation I had with Bri to myself. Hopefully she wasn't to crazy and could deal with this trial case. I heard she was still winning all the cases she had. She better be doing some from all that time she spent at work.

"Times up inmates!" One of the guards yelled.

King stood and we embraced one more. Then I watched as he gave Kay a loving Kiss and hug. Then he walked off into the back. Me an Kay gathered our things and left.

Kay's P.O.V

After arriving home from seeing King my head was racing with thoughts. King could be facing more time in jail from drug charges. I swear everytime he got out of the game something or some one pulled him back in.

If king was in jail then I would have to step up to the plate and begin to provide. He told me to get a 9 to 5 job. But a regular job wasnt gonna cut it.

Me and the kids were use to never having too hurt for anything. So, we weren't about to start now. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I had to do something.

In the meantime, I had to get in contact with Bri for Kings case. I had her old number from a while ago. Hopefully she still used it. I pulled out my cell phone an dialed the number. Luckily she answered on the third ring.

"Hey girl! Where you been?"

"Girl, away. I needed sometime to myself."

I laughed. "Shit, ain't nothing wrong with that. But I need for you to come back boo. King is in jail again. "

"Whatttttt? For what girl?"

I then begin to explain what had happened in the last week. I told her about the visit with King today and how I had to get a job and everything.

"Damnnn. Well, you know I'm good for it. It's no problem. Are you really going too get a job?" She asked.

"Yeah. I have too. But I gotta get something better than a regular minimum wage paying job."

"I have a job, it pays way more than that for less work. But you gotta be a real bitch too handle." She said.

"You know I'm as real as they come. You know I'm down. What is it?"

She paused for a second and then replied and said. "Contract killing. "
