“This is someone I want you to know. If something happens to me, she’s the one who has the name you want.”
“Wuh stopping muh from killing yuh and getting dat name from she?”
“That bad woman you used to know, did you come to know her through his mother?” Ny says.
“Fah real.”
“Good. That bad woman was my mother. May she rest in peace, but my mother was child’s play next to me. You touch him, everything you love will cease to exist.”
Kingston sits back in his seat with a smile on his face showing all his teeth. He pulls a face and nods. I place a hand on Ny’s knee.
“Big chat, girl.”
“My guns are bigger, and I don’t pull unless I’m going to blast. Just like I don’t say shit I don’t mean and can’t back up.”
“Dis must be yer woman. She chat just like yuh.”
“She’s my business partner. She’s also my liaison to my grandfather. This friendship needs to look like it’s an old relationship between you and him. She’s going to step in to make sure that happens.”
“Ah. Ya know the favor we done fa yer muddah and grandfaddah?” I pause and stare at him. He waves a hand. “Never mind dat. I hear wuh yuh say. I like she too. Yuh kids are yer mouddahs’ trilden.”
“We are.”
“Now, fa wuh I need. Yuh see, I don’t like liards,” he says loudly. “If ya can lie to muh or about muh, yer a liability. To lie shows muh yer only ability. Yuh understand?”
I understand. Although I know it’s a rhetorical question. I like the way he puts it though. Liars are liabilities. Get it… lie-ability. I’m going to bank that one.
“It’s the only ting a liard relies on. The only ting dem know how to do. I don’t trust a man who has the ability to lie.
“I don’t like lies and I don’t like liards. Yuh steal from muh and lie, yer as good as dead to muh. I don’t care who ya are.”
I look over at Keith. He swallows hard and starts to look nervous, wiping his hands on his thighs.
“Now, for y ya here. I made a promise to his muddah, I wouldn’t murdah da boy. Yuh understand? I never break my word, but Keith is a liard and a t’ief. He must go,” he raises his voice at the end, spit flying from his mouth.
“Say the word.”
“Rasshole, he take muh fuh a goathead. He done.”
I nod at Holly and Ming. Holly pulls a gun and places it to the back of Keith’s head.
“Uncle Kington, please. I didn—”
He doesn’t get to finish. Holly pulls the trigger and turns to take a seat as if nothing happened.Good, good girl.
She’s ready.
My attention is drawn to the front door as it opens. I squeeze Ny’s knee, so she doesn’t react. I don’t want to look like I’m not in control of this situation.
Jace heads to the door to intercept my brother and defuse the situation. I’m going to have to have a talk with Dante. No doubt he found the spare key in my office. I purse my lips and turn my attention back to Kingston.
“Ya, clean dat up,” Kingston says to one of his men. “Tanks.”
“No problem.”
“Big man, I wasn’t sure if ya changed now dat ya somebody. Respect, I still see the man ya come ta muh as. Gud. Now tell muh wuh else yuh need from muh.”
