The Assistant

Chapter 9

Selena P.O.V
"Andre, do you have any paperclips?"

"Yea, and can you do something for me?"

"Yes, what is it?"

He looks up at me and twirls a pen. "I have a new client coming in today. They say he's good but he just got out of jail. I'm going to need you to be in there while we recording and stuff just to negotiate or anything."

Why does Andre need me in there for that? It's not making sense but I'm going to go.

"Okay, but if you know he just got out of jail why don't you have your bodyguards in there or something?

"He's going to be nervous around them, he just got out. I know the feeling, so they will be outside the door."

"Alright when will he be here?"

A knock interrupts our conversation. Andre tells them to come in. A tall caramel skinned man comes in.

"Wassup, I'm Andre and welcome to Freshly Inc. Records."

"Wassup I'm Darius." He looks over at me and smirks. He must haven't seen a nice ass female like myself in a while. Andre and the guy start to work on music as I organize some dates for upcoming events.

"That tattoo you got nice young blood, what it mean?"

"All death is good. It's slatt over here all day everyday and that's on everything."

I look up from my work. I knew hell was about to break loose. This man really fucked up telling Andre he is a blood. He must not know Andre is a crip and does not play.

He chuckles and looks "So you telling me you rep that nonsense?"

Darius cocks his head and sits up. "Yea, I went to jail for my shit. And what the fuck you mean nonsense nigga?"

Before Andre could answer, Darius pulls out a small blade from his mouth. How the fuck did he not cut himself with that in his mouth?

Andre smirks and pulls out his gun and points it to him. "I think you ought to put that baby blade down."

"I ain't putting down shit! I know you killed my brother back in the gap and I tried my damn best to come back for your ass but I got locked up cause of your sorry ass crew! Now I got you right where I want you."

"You really think that blade is going to do something?"

"I'm either going to kill you or die trying!" The man lunges at Andre bringing them both to the ground. I start to panic so I grab the gun off the floor and aim it at Darius and pull the trigger.

A shot rang out as I start to observe what I just done. I just...killed someone. I dropped the gun as I stand in shock thinking about what I did. I haven't felt like this ever since my parents were killed. I felt myself starting to have a panic attack. Andre sees me freaking out and tries to get me to relax.

"Selena, relax, look at me, it's going to be alright."

"ALRIGHT?!?! I JUST KILLED SOMEONE!!!"

He took my hand and pulled me into him. "I know that and you're going to have to calm down. By tonight no one will ever know about this. I'm proud that you protected me."

He's proud of me?!? It didn't make any sense but it comforted me for some odd reason. As he held me, I started to relax but I still couldn't wrap around the thought of me killing another human being. Andre then tells the guards outside the room to come in.

"Dispose of this body, I want it gone and want all of the camera footage of him coming in deleted. I already know someone is going to be questioning his death."

As Andre talks to them, I finally start to realize the truth. THIS is the Andre Wilson everyone talks about. The Andre everyone knew about but still worshipped him and his music label. Power is what he is and there was a small feeling in my body that loved it all.
