Riley's POV
"Can you tell me your name?" Dr. English, the twins and Asia's doctor for yers quizzed Caius. I had brought him her this morning while Heather had agreed to drop me off and take the other two to Jumping World which I was highly thankful for. I needed evaluation, help, faith.
"You already know my name. I been here before." Cai sassed as he sat on the couch next to me and rolled his eyes.
"Yes but I forgot. Tell me it again, please. Full name."
"Caius King.. Hawkins." He spoke.
Dr. English smiled and nodded. "Okay thank you Caius. You're five years old now, your nickname is Cai, you like football, you don't eat meat, and your favorite person in the world is your mom. Is all of these facts you told me last time still true?"
Caius hummed for a second, then shook his head negatively. "No."
"Which one isn't true?"
"My favorite person isn't Mommy.. It's Daddy."
My head snapped down at him yet he still looked at the doctor. Dr. English and I made eye contact, the look he gave me was almost if to tell me to calm down. Thankfully the doctor doesn't know exactly who his father is.
"Why is he your favorite person?"
"Um.. because.... Um... I can't tell you with Mommy in the room."
Dr. English looked at me, Caius looked at me. I let out a quick, sharp breath and stood up to walk out.
Dr. English's POV
"Okay, she's gone. Let's talk about your father. Why is he your favorite person?"
Caius looked down at his lap. "We do fun things together all the time."
"Really? Like what?"
"Well every night he comes to my room and we get in his car and we go to this house."
I placed my pen to my chin and watched Caius's movement when he scratched his head or his eyes went up when he thought. "Where is this house?"
"I don't know. I can draw a picture of it for you. I'm good at drawing sometimes."
"Maybe another time Cai. Tell me what happens at this house that you guys go to."
He poked the inside of his mouth with his tongue like he was contemplating. "Well there's this room and there's a bunch of guns there, and we have to pick one and then we go and kill people."
"And uh... which gun do you pick?"
"The big one. Daddy said I'm really good at the big one."
I leaned forward, my arms on my knees as I made eye contact with him. Caius smiled friendly at me and then looked down at the paper and crayons I had provided him with before we started. "And who else is there with you guys, at that house, in this gun room?"
The red crayon moved rapidly in his hand as he answered me. "Sometimes Asia, that's my sister. And other people but I can't see them good cause it's dark."
"Who do you kill with your father? Do you know these people? And how do you do it?" I hoped that me asking too many questions at once wouldn't throw him off, but he was a very smart kid, I always appreciated when he cooperated because it was a lot of work to open him up.
"Once we went to this building and there was this boy in a room and I shot him in his head." Caius laughed and kept drawing. "Daddy told me I shoot the best."
I wrote a few notes quickly then looked at him again. "Okay now let's talk about some of these past incidents your mom talked to me about. You're doing good Cai. First one happened about two months ago, I think..." I reached over for my papers that had each incident written on it. "You slammed your sister's head into a mirror. You remember?"
"Yeah."
"Why did you do it?"
"I was mad because she didn't move out my way and I was mad because she was Daddy's favorite but I'm not mad about that anymore." He shook his head and then picked up the black crayon.
"And the next incident. You put... Clorox Bleach into a lady's coffee.. Why would you do that?"
Caius looked up at me. "Daddy told me to."
"Did he call you? Come to see you?"
"He told me."
"And did you know what the Bleach would do to the lady?"
"She would die."
"Okay. And yesterday morning, what happened with Julius's tooth?"
He put his crayon down and shook the paper, probably to clear it free of the crayon's sheddings. "I woke up and I went into Ju's room and I opened his mouth and pulled three teeth out."
"And what would make you do that?"
"Because... I heard Mommy say that he could go to school next year and I couldn't. So I wanted him to hurt like I was."
"You want to go to school?"
"Yeah."
"And what did Julius say when you did this?"
"He was screaming and told me to stop. I'm done talking now. Here's my picture Mr." Caius jumped down from the high sofa and handed me the paper then ran out the same direction his mother left.
I looked at the paper in my hand and gasped. "Mrs. Hathaway! Mrs. Hathaway!"
Riley ran in confused. "What is it Dr. English?"
"Caius... I need you to watch him at night-"
"I do. I wake up every two hours to check on them, why? What's happening?"
"I want to meet Caius's father. Is there a way you can reach him? You say these disorders are from him, correct?"
She visibly hesitated but still nodded slowly. "I can... I can try. I'll call him."
"Thank you." I handed her the picture next. "I think you might want to see this. Caius colored it during the whole interview." Her face dropped as she looked at it, then she slowly looked back up at me.
In the picture, was a stick figure of Caius standing on top on a mound of people. People who we're bleeding, people whose eyes we're black X's insinuating that they were dead. The word KING sat at the top of the paper. Riley's reaction to the picture was worse than mine.
Cassius's POV
"Nipple simulation? Licking assholes?" Mackenzie said in a disgusted voice as she looked through the syllabus to prostituting that Ryan and Darius had taken the time to make. "I didn't know straight guys liked to have a tongue in their butt."
I cringed and shook my head. I guess there really is some nasty ass people out here. "I didn't write that, I had no parts."
She bit down on the pen in her hand. Supposedly Ryan wanted her to stop being just arm candy for the customers but to start fucking so she had to check mark everything on this long ass list that she was comfortable with doing. The only reason I agreed to the deal to have her sell pussy like the rest of these bitches is because I was going to have another bad bitch do her job soon and because it was agreed that before any nigga got inside her, I could take her virginity. Kenzie just didn't know that part of the deal.
