Have You Seen Her

"Ouch!" Shandon squealed as Lisa pressed into his face with a cotton ball covered in alcohol.

"You big baby." She blew on his wound under his cheekbone.

"I'm not a big baby! That shit burns." Shandon pouted.

"That's what you get. You shouldn't have been fighting in the first place.

"I just met someone who deserved an ass whoopin' and I provided!"

"Nigga you didn't provide shit!" Detrick said sitting on the couch across the room with a frozen bag of peas on the side of his face.

"There you go again speaking when you're not spoken to. Didn't your mother teach you to shut the fuck up sometime?"

"Naw she didn't but I'd gladly teach you!" Detrick stood up and Shandon followed. Like two raging bulls ready to go head to head. Lisa quickly stood between them to prevent them from attacking one another.

"Both of you need to stop this right now!" Lisa quickly removed her hand from Shandons chest when she realized it had grabbed her full attention. "Did you not hear anything that Dessiah said in that room? Her child is missing! The very reason that we are all here is because we love the same people. Dessiah and Delaney need all of us right now so you both better sit down and get your shit together or you can leave now!" Everyone stood quietly unwilling to stand down. "What will it be? I don't hear you talking?" Detrick and Shandon sat down slowly on either side of the room staring at one another. Lisa moved to the dining room table to give them space and yet be close enough to put them out if need be. Neither said anything.

"TALK!" Lisa yelled.

"Man!" Shandon sucked his teeth and Lisa gave him a warning look. "I think you're an asshole!" He directed his feelings to Detrick. "Why do you feel he is an asshole?" Lisa asked mediating.

"Because he staked claim on Dessiah from jump then in the end you just left her like she wasn't shit!"

"LIKE I SAID YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT US AND I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU!"

"Maybe you should explain it to him. Detrick why or what brought you to place claim on Dessiah from the beginning?"

"Are you our therapist now Lisa?"

"I'm the only thing allowing you to sit there and not throw you tantrum having ass out! Now like I said tell him why." Detrick sighed heavily. Admittedly Lisa was the only reason he was still allowed there because Dessiah obviously wanted him gone.

"Dessiah was mine from the day we met and no one was going to interfere with that."

"So that's the reason you sent me to work in New York?"

"Partially? One because I can and the other reason was for work that needed to be done!"

"You're a punk! Obviously you felt like you had competition which made you insecure so you pulled a bitch move."

"I GOT YOUR BITCH!" Detrick retorted.

"HEY ,HEY,HEY! Stay focused! Listen I'm thirsty and I need to go to the store. Talking to you two has given me cotton mouth. Can I trust you both to act like grown men and solve your issues with your words and not your fists?" The both nodded. "I don't speak body language, my mama taught me English!"
