I got up and headed to NGM where I had Vincenzo in the basement. Fuck what mom said, I wanted her safe.
I headed downstairs and heard my father yelling.
"Go to hell! Go to hell!" he yelled.
"Who's in there with him?" I asked Felix.
"Nobody."
Confused, I walked into the room and turned on the light.
"Get the fuck out!" he yelled.
"Who the fuck you talkin' to?" I asked.
"Get out!" he yelled hitting his head with his hands.
Basilio walked in and watched the scene with me.
"Fuck wrong with him?" he asked.
"Hell, if I know."
"Carlotta I'm sorry...I'm sorry.... I'm sorry! I love you! I'm sorry!"
"Mom came or something?"
"Not that I know of." I shrugged.
Grey walked in and looked at us, then looked at him.
Again, Vincenzo was yelling, "Sorry Carlotta", "I love my family."
"It's something wrong..."Grey said.
"Yeah, he a fuck up of a human being. We know." I spoke.
"No nigga, it's something else. My cousin was like this. Is he schizophrenic?"
"I'm not sure. We don't talk to him."
"Vincenzo." Grey walked up to him.
"You comin' to kill me?" he asked breathing heavily, "Tell my boys I'm sorry."
"What did you do to them?"
"I...I..."a tear slid down his cheek and he wiped it away angrily.
"Take your time..."Grey spoke calmly.
"I was jealous..."
"Why?"
"They had it better than me. They...they weren't fucked up like me."
"So you were jealous because you and Carlotta gave them a good life?"
He nodded sadly," I fucked up. Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
"Okay."
"Not you...them."
"Them?"
Vincenzo pointed to the wall and nobody was there.
"They keep messin' with me and I'm chained so I can't kill them!" he yelled and tried to break away from the chains, stopping once he couldn't break free.
"Calm down...I'll get them." Grey took out his gun and began shooting the wall.
"Thank you." he said.
"So...do you feel that you have a problem?"
"I'm not sure."
"How often do you see them?" Grey asked referring to the ones Vincenzo "saw".
"Everyday."
"Okay look...You sit here for a few. I'll be right back. Breathe okay?"
He nodded and began to breathe slow, deep breaths.
Grey motioned for us to come out the room and he closed the door.
"It looks like schizophrenia. It explains the delusions, the paranoia and the jealousy."
