5. will you..burn for me?

"Lock the door on your way out," I say pointing to the door as I rolled my eyes to walk back over to my bed.

"Joke man, hear yuh pan di phone, which badman yuh deh wid?" He came closer to sit beside me.

"Why yuh listen to mi conversation? People cya sex pan FaceTime in peace nuh more?" I said and he genuinely laughed.

The relationship with my father? perfect. He instilled in me from a young age that I could speak to him about absolutely anything.

He's chill.

"Know weh mi do to badman?" Inferring the fact that he's a prosecutor.

"Yes Daddy, but just because his voice is deep you can't assume he has something to do with illegal activity."

At least I assume...

"Bad man shi wah, bad man she need."

"Ah. Just a mek sure yav yuh head pan yuh body."

From our past calls, I have heard things but decided to not press the issue. Cya mek him feel like seh mi nuff.

Even though I am, sometimes.

"Yuh done day dream now?" He said snapping me back to reality.

A come him come fi talk off mi ears dem? What is the issue?

"Suh mi ave a case a come up, July 16th. Notorious gang leader or don, Zahir Banks. Since yah study law and dem ting deh, mi wah show yuh how the courthouse ropes work, especially wid a case weh big suh."

"Who is the defence attorney?"

"Peter Champagnie.." He said and those words rang inside my ears.

Zahir have money man, fi ave man top man like dem deh cost millions.

"Can you state the cases being brought against him?" He's always wanted me to follow in his footsteps to be a lawyer so this is a perfect opportunity, and one a dem pretty sumn deh fi add pan mi Law University applications.

"Charged on the accounts of more than 30 first degree murders, numerous counts of man slaughter, fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and drug trafficking."

An astonished look formed across my face and a large escaping my lips as I was too stunned to speak, literally.

Muss witch craft dah man yah work fi still deh a road and nuh lock up like Kartel who a serve life after one alleged murder charge.

"And he's still a free man walking?" This shows how corrupt the system is, cause why dem nuh ketch him yet.

"Money ting, the fuck up officer and lawyer dem get a whiff a big money cya get a word outta dem. Even with the chance to get slight evidence from witnesses, dem fraid fi talk cause dem know him ago kill dem."

"Trust mi, him police records are the most futile thing mi eva see ina mi career, but him untouchable yuh fuck."

"Does he have close relatives? Intimate family members?" I have no idea how someone could do such things without backlash and collateral damage surrounding their families, especially their children.

"Him married wid two pickney, him wife ina the game too from a longer time. Nobody nuh know the pickney dem because dem protected unda him, and we cya get nuh further information other than that," he said before getting up to leave.
