Skulls In Silk

We rushed back to my crib so that Gerald could start tracking Ryan. Something was telling me that he was in danger. I feared that he may not be alive for much longer. I'm no killer, but I would kill for my brother.

I watched as he opened his laptop and started tracking Ry's number. Soon enough we got a signal. "Okay so it looks like his phone was turned off, but the last tower it pinged off of was downtown. I can try to triangulate the signals to get a more accurate location" Gerald said typing away on his computer.

"The only person I know that lives downtown is his ex, Tanya. I don't know if they're still messing around but that's the only reason he would go over there" I said thinking out loud. I was anxious, and I knew it because my whole body felt jittery. I hadn't felt this way since my parents passed. And that's giving me all the more reason to believe that he in some kind of danger. Ry never turns off his phone, he lives on that shit.

"Okay well since you know who he could have been visiting, then he's good right?" Gerald asked looking up at me. "Nahh, even if he was digging out a bitch, he wouldn't turn his phone off." I said unconvinced. Just then Gerald's face perked up like he remembered something. "What?" I asked him confused. "Uhh.. don't be mad... but after your parents died and I was helping y'all find out stuff and get better security systems and stuff... I felt it was necessary to do this... but not in any stalker way...just... you know... to be safe..." Gerald said trailing off, and I grew slightly irritated. "Get to the point G" I said with a sigh. "Well, I put a tracker on both of your cars, well at least the ones that I know you both use frequently. Just in case something like this was to happen. But I forgot about it until now" He said looking at me as if waiting for me to yell at him.

I was silent for a second. I was really thinking about how this nigga managed to do that without us noticing. It was actually surprising. "Ar-are you mad?" he asked and I shook my head. "Nah, if anything I should be thanking you right now for thinking ahead. This could literally help us" I said giving his shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "Okay good, I'll start tracking it now" he said beginning to do his thing. I nodded and stood back and watched. "Got him" he said. "Damn already?" I asked surprised. "Where does it say he's at?" I asked walking over to the computer. "Uh, strangely it says that he's at the huge Walmart downtown?" he said but it sounded more like a question. Hell, I was confused my damn self.

"What the fuck could he be doing at Walmart and not answer his phone. He boutta piss me off" I said grabbing my keys and phone before walking out my office. "Oh, we're leaving. O-kay" I heard Gerald say before quickly gathering his stuff and following me out. I chuckled to myself, this man is comical when he's ready. We got in my car and I sped downtown to the Walmart. Gerald had a small device that he was reading the location from. I'm bout to whoop his ass if he in there fucking some broad, I swear to God I will.

"Yo, Tazz.. we got a problem" I said walking over to him. "Wassup?" he asked concerned. "Well, you see... what had happened was.." I trailed off. "Nigga get to the point" he semi-yelled with a chuckle. "Aight so boom. After I took ole boy and put him in my truck, I got in my car ready to speed out. Now as I'm leaving, I notice a man standing there like he done seen the whole thing. So I did what I had to do and offed his ass. Don't need no witnesses." I said with a shrug. He stared at me blankly. "Man, you always shooting somebody!" he said and sucked his teeth. "But that's not all. I forgot about his car that's still parked there. We gotta go get it. But it might be too hot right now cause the opps are probably still there" I said scratching the back of my head.

"Nigga, I don't even know why you did this shit alone. With yo impulsive ass. Man you too damn trigger happy" he said and I chuckled. "Yeah yeah, but we gotta do something. I was thinking to send one of them boys for it" I said nodding my head towards the workers in the room. We were in a corner speaking among ourselves. "Mmm, we could. But you know these young niggas never do shit discreetly. We might just have to go get it." he said. I really wasn't trying to do all that but he does have a point. These niggas would literally go out there and make a scene, and we don't need that.
