Him

18.

Nicki

I was on my laptop trying to find some information on my mother before I had to get back to training. We have been doing this shit for almost two weeks now. Its so intense that if I never had any coordination with hand to hand combat, I would probably be in a cast or in a brace like Ray.

It went down like this; he was tryna show off and Lisa popped his shoulder out of place. He should be good in a couple of days though.

I typed in my mother's whole name, Adria Tami Lopez-Wen. My grandmother married some hispanic and changed my mother's when she was younger.

I hit enter and the first thing I seen was a mug shot of her. Damn, my parents aint nothing but a bunch of fucking criminals. It was attached to an article from Boston. I clicked the linked and started reading it over.

"27 year old, Adria Lopez, was arrested early Thursday 18 of March on a 2nd degree murder charge. Details were held by BPD until her trail date, which was 23 of July 2003. Victim, Helen Carr, was found in the trunk of Lopez's car. Police stopped Lopez for speeding but somehow ended up checking the car because of suspected drug usage."

I searched the woman name Helen Carr but the only thing that came up was her date of birth and date of death.

My mother was a murderer. She killed somebody for what reasons unexplained. I went back to the article but it only mentioned bits and pieces of their lives. It even had my name in there.

I felt him already and he wasn't even in the room yet. "What you doing?" He asked as he sat on the couch next to me.

"Research. Why, what you want?" I asked typing in the woman's name again.

"You."

I laughed. "Nigga we see each other every damn day. I still look the same. You dont but I do." I smiled at him.

Ray looked at me sideways. "You didn't have to go there. Im bout to rake this shit off. It itch. And we need to go pick up Tay Tay he claim he wanna come home now."

Ray took the brace off and he looked like he was in pain and my mood changed.

"Put it back on fore you really break something." I whined.

"Awwww. You such a baby. Im not puttin that shit back on so come on and put on a shirt. Shawnda said her car broke or something." He said pulling over his Marilyn Monroe hoodie like its not 90 degrees outside.

Ray Ray

Bill drove us over Shawnda house because Mr.Wen said he can drive us and he only.

Me and Nicki both got out the car and walked up to Shawnda door. Nicki ranged the bell and the one and only Moe opened the door.

I sucked my teeth."Where Shawnda at, yo?"

Moe was staring at Nicki like she dammit crazy. "Not here."

"Then where the fuck is my brother?" I said pushing past her walking to the back room where he stay when he come over here.

I found him sleep on the bean bag. I got his night bag and picked him up. When I got a good grip on him I walked back out and I heard Nicki and Moe arguing.

"Bitch shut the fuck! Hollerin in my ear for what? He aint with you for a reason. Hop the fuck off and go some where that bullshit before you get this ass whoopin right quick!" Nicki yelled in Moe's face.

"Hoe you got my sloppy seconds. You aint finna do shit to me. Couldn't beat me if you tried." Moe retorted.

Before I could even put my two sense in Nicki two piece the hell out of Moe. "Fuck you sayin now hoe." Nicki walked off and Moe was laying on the floor with blood coming out of her nose.

I quickly left Moe dumb ass where she laid at and followed Nicki to the car with Tay Tay in my arms.
