8:30am

"You got this in the mail." Hayden said handing me a yellow envelope. It's been 3 weeks since my brothers murder and I haven't heard anything.

The BLM organization in my state dosen't want to support a "Gay" black man. They pick and choose who's worthy of getting justice.

I ripped it open in a little relief.

"From the station? You think they arrested whoever killed Paris." I said a little happy.

"I hope so, I'll come in with you if you want."

We drove down to the station which was a hour drive. I prayed and and undid my seat belt.

"No it's fine just wait for me."

1:45pm

"Wait a minute are you asking me if I had something to do with my brothers death?

Did I set it up?

You really have the nerve to ask me, someone who actually loves him.
that was actually was there for him till now I pray to him every day, every night!

You see how broken I am and ask me that?!

You should be asking that to my mom to my dad you grandparents his so called ex boyfriend-"

"Oh so he was active?"

"ACTIVE? Are you active with your wife?"

"Ma'am you are, crossing the line."

"I found my brother, laying in our favorite area! nobody bothered to pick him up as the sun was rising they fucking ignored him like he was nothing!
His beautiful face with a hole in between beaten and aboned!"

I watched how the cops had no expression on there face and messed with the voice recorder.

" I fears for my brother, I fear for him! What if God is not loving because he's different! The God we pray to everyday What if God likes the people who killed him?

What he doesn't get into heaven?

What if he forget our precious memories, and I will too when I die? I'm terrified at the thought, when I wake up reminded I will never hold him ever again nor see his white smile in Person!

I'm Angry and I want Paris to have justice, ill never rest or be a peace maker until he gets it, he wasn't a just a black man but a proud gay black man!"

The cops just drew on paper. I felt like I was

"He had to hide who he was an he was done with it just to get his life taken away Why because he's different.

so you want to ask me if I'm okay? NO ILL FOREVER SEE HIS BODY BEAT, BULLET IN HIS FORHEAD!"

"What about his gang relation?" I slapped the cops across there faces.

Gang relation we worked are asses off to have a living we wouldn't have had to work so much if we had easy gang money.

They think I'm ignorant, I'm putting on a show because I have badge 611 right in my pocket. And when I find who that police badge belongs to, they better hope I don't see them.

I know Paris went to Cup's that night from a letter I got and when I get the evidence this building will be in flames.

"Just tell us the truth! You already assaulted us two officers and it on video so tell us or we charge you."

"Wow, so lie about killing my brother to let your friend off the hook and maybe y'all too?"

It was silet and man thank you for them being white because there red faces told it all.

"Yeah all I need is one more piece! To put y'all in hell!" I walked out of the station and to Hayden's car.

"You got the recording."

"Yeah and by you blowing it it proved that they had something to do with it."

These past three weeks I watched the news how they shows Paris being homosexual and gang related.

They didn't show his beautiful face because no picture would reveal those accusations.

The world was with me and against me at the same time.

So I called my friend Atelia to help me. Me her and Hayden came up with a plan to record myself at the station. I had to get emotional and angry to.see there reactions and hear how they reacted.

It worked. The hidden audio and camera was enough proof for me, but 611 he was good I searched every page and couldn't find anything every picture said error. But I had and idea.
