11:34pm
Shawn parked the car in front of a house. "Okay, we here"he said
"This his mom house?"Stokeley asked
"Yeah, nigga got all that drug money but left his momma in the hood"Nahmir shook his head
We all got out the car and made our way on the porch. Nahmir knocked on the door about 3 times.
"Remember, don't do no harm to her okay?"Nahmir said
Jay nodded "I gotchu"
Everybody else agreed to him, except me. Suddenly the front door slightly opened. A lady's face appeared through the crack of the door. "Can I help y'all?"
"Yes, hi Ms.Sherhonda...I'm a old friend of Kentrell"Nahmir said
"Mhm..what do you want?"she asked
"I actually need to ask you a few questions about him, if that's okay?"he asked
"What kind of questions?"
"Well, a friend of mine is missing and I believe he has something to do with it"Nahmir said
"I'm sorry about that but I can't help you..my son passed away last year"
"Liah Williams...she's missing"Nahmir said
"Liah?"her eyes widened a little
"Yeah, Kentrell's ex girlfriend...you met her before?"
"Yes, plenty of times"she opened the door wider
"Can we come in?"Jay asked
She looked a little hesitant at first but she nodded and opened the door wider, allowing us to come in.
"Now, when's the last time you saw him?"Nahmir asked
She scoffed "I don't know...maybe a few weeks before he died? w-what makes you think he took her?"she rubbed the back of her neck
"Cause we have a surveillance video of somebody with his description...taking Liah out of her apartment"Nahmir said
"There's no way that's possible"she said
"Let me ask you something...at his funeral...was the casket open or closed?"I asked
"It was closed because the damage of his skin was too bad"she answered looking down
"And who arranged his funeral?"Stokeley asked
"His friends.."
"Ms.Sherhonda...if Kentrell did take Liah...where would he go?"
"I have no idea...I-I mean the only other place Kentrell use to be is...Louisiana"
"Louisiana?"
"Yes, that's where he was born"She nodded
"Okay, thank you Ms.Sherhonda"Nahmir shook her hand
We all walked out the house and made our way back to the car.
"Well, Louisiana here we come"Jay shrugged
I kissed my teeth "are y'all dumb or stupid?"
Nahmir glared at me "what?"
"Man, I can see right through that woman and she was fucking lying"
Wifi nodded "yeah..she did seemed a lil...off"
"She was not lying"Nahmir said
"When you told her that Kentrell was supposedly 'alive' she didn't look shocked at all...plus nobody gone let 6 random niggas in they house...she knew we were coming"I shook my head
"So what you suggest we do?"Shawn asked
Sherhonda pov
"-and did you tell them that I might be in Louisiana?"He asked
"Yes, Kentrell I did"I answered
"Alright. Thank you Sherhonda"
"You're welcome, but how is she?"
"She's good"
"You ain't put ya hands on her did you?"I asked
"No, look I gotta go I'll call you next week okay?"
"Alright, bye"I ended the call
Suddenly my front door bursted opened. A guy came towards me and grabbed my shirt. "Where the fuck is he!?"He yelled
"I told you! I don't know where Kentrell would be!"
Nahmir came running in the house "Yo Jahseh, let her go...she said she doesn't know!"
"The bitch is lying!"
"Let her go"Nahmir said
He looked down, seeing my phone in my hand. He snatched it from me "what's your password?"
I didn't answer him
"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PASSWORD?"He yelled
"1-0-2-0"I answered
"Let's go, come on"Nahmir said
Jahseh pov
I followed him out the door and into the car.
Stokeley looked at me "what happened vro?"
"I took her phone"I said
I quickly unlocked it and went through her messages as Nahmir pulled off. He looked through the rear view mirror at me "aye man, that was some dumb shit you just pulled"he said
"Was it really?"
"Yes, we could've handled that a different way"
"Whatever"I went out of her messages and went to her call log. The last call was a weird looking number...
Kentrell pov
"I'm sorry for grabbing you like that"I apologized
Liah shrugged "it's okay, I know you didn't mean it"
I smiled at her as my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen seeing my mom was calling again. I sighed before answering "I told you I'll call you back next week"
I heard breathing on the other end of the phone but she didn't say anything. "Sherhonda?"I asked
The phone immediately hung up.
Jahseh pov
I looked at Stokeley
Stokeley nodded "That was him ain't it?"
"Hell yeah"
Shawn looked at us "That was Kentrell?"
I nodded "yup.aye Nahmir you know any hackers up here?"
"A few"he nodded
"Take me to one of them"I said
>>>
We pulled up in a brown apartment building. "he's in apartment 315"Nahmir said getting out of the car.
Nahmir and I got out the car, everybody else stayed in. I followed Nahmir in the building and into the elevator. He clicked the 3rd button as the elevator doors closed.
Once we made it to apartment 315. Nahmir knocked on the door a few times and waited for someone to answer the door.
Within 5 seconds later a brown skin guy with glasses answered the door. He smiled "Nicholas Simmons, how are you?"
I squinted my eyes at him.
Nahmir chuckled "man, you know I hate when people call me that"
"That's the point"He said
Nahmir looked at me "Jahseh, this my homie Tecca, Tecca this is a Jahseh"
"Nice to meet you, come on in"He opened the door and we walked in.
"what y'all need me to do?"Tecca asked
"You know how to track a number?"I asked him
"I mean, anybody can if you just look up the area code"
"I know but this number is different"I unlocked the phone and handed it to him. "That recent number in the call log...is basically untraceable"
"Hm"he took the phone over to his computer
Liah pov
"you okay?"I asked Kentrell
"My mom isn't answering her phone..I'll be back"He sighed
Once he walked out the room I immediately grabbed the bobby-pin and started to pick the lock again, the first time I tried Kentrell almost caught me.
A few minutes later I heard the cuffs unlock. I quickly slipped my hands out and made my way off the bed.
I ran towards the door and tried to turn the knob...but the door was locked. I looked around the bedroom, the windows were boarded up. I started to panic when I noticed there was literally no way I can escape.
"Okay, breathe Liah, breathe"I took 3 deep breaths and started to look around. I walked in the closet and looked through his stuff. I saw his birth certificate, social security card, and a few pictures.
I picked up the first picture, noticing it was him as a child.
Then next picture was him, Three and his mom.
I paused looking at the next picture.
This was around 3 years ago, back when I was poppin xans like crazy. I turned the picture around to the back.
It said, in (Kentrell's handwritting): My heavy metal <3
Flashback*
Kentrell bit his lip at me, I looked at him confused "what?"
"You my lil heavy metal"he smirked
"Oh my god, would you stop calling me that?"I chuckled
"You are"he chuckled lightly
He made his way next to me on the couch. "I need you to promise me something"
"What is it?"
"Promise me that you'll always love me, no matter what"he clenched his jaw
"I will" I nodded
"Say it Liah"He said
"I promise I'll always love you no matter what"I promised
He smiled and kissed me on the lips. As we kissed I felt his hand go up my shirt. I grabbed his hand "stop Ken"
He kissed his teeth "come on Liah, how long do I have to wait?"
"Kentrell, I told you I'm not ready for that"
"Of course you're not"he sighed scooting away from me
*****
Flashback over
I blinked my eyes a few times before picking up all the pictures. My eyes widened once I saw what was lying down under the pictures.
A fucking IPhone 4.
"And it's dead...great."I sighed
I grabbed it and quickly put the rest of the pictures away. I walked out the closet and made my way back on the bed. I slipped the phone under the mattress before cuffing my hands back to the bed.
Jahseh pov
I paced Tecca's living room as we waited for him to trace the number. Nahmir strunched his face at me "you got some kind of mental problem or something?"he asked
I glared at him slightly and continued to pace the room. "How long does it take him to trace the number?"
Nahmir shrugged "I don't know, be patient"
"My patience is wearing thin"I sighed
"Just sit down...you making me nervous with all that pacing and shit"He said
"Nigga don't tell me to sit down, what I look like? yo son?"
He smirked "I'm not even gon answer that"
I glared at him "don't fucking start with me"
He put his hands up in surrender "I'm not starting nothing...you the one with a anger problem"
"Just shut the fuck up"
Nahmir nodded "Imma let you slide with dat"
I looked at him "Let me ask you something"
He looked back at me.
"Do you even care about Liah?"I asked
"She's been my best friend since elementary school of course I care about her"he said
"You sure? cause I remember what you told her the day I took her virginity"
Nahmir roller his eyes "I was drunk that day-"
"so? you meant every single word you said to her that day"
"No the fuck I didn't! and Liah knows that I didn't mean that shit"He yelled
"So you never wanted her...sexually?"I asked
He scoffed and waved me off "I'm not trying to argue with you man"
"Answer the question"I shrugged
He ignored me and looked at the tv. I chuckled and shook my head "that's what I thought"
Just then Tecca walked out his room. "Cuba"he said
"What?" I asked
"That's were the call came from"He said
"Cuba? Which part?"Nahmir asked
"I don't know, that wasn't traceable...it only told me the country"he said
Nahmir nodded and he handed me back the phone.
"Okay, aye thank you man"I shook his hand
"No problem, I hope you find her man"He said
"Appreciate it"I nodded
Nahmir dapped him up "Thanks bruh"
"If you need my help with anything else, just let me know"Tecca said
"We will"Nahmir said
Liah pov
Kentrell walked back in the room with agitated face. "what the fuck bruh"he mumbled
"Why isn't she answering the phone?..."he said
I sat up and looked at him as he dialed a number. A few seconds later I heard KD's voice "yeah man wassup?"
"Why my momma ain't answering her phone? what the fuck going on?"
"I don't know, we ain't up there"KD said
"Man, she called me and told me what happened with Jahseh and nem, about 5 minutes later she called back but she didn't say anything...I heard like, breathing in the background"
"Did you send Ben out there to check it out?"KD asked
"Yeah, I just got off the phone with him, he on his way there now"Kentrell said
"Damn, you don't think Jahseh might've-"
I squinted my eyes at him,Kentrell looked at me "hold on bruh let me walk out the room real quick "he quickly made his way out the room.
"What the fuck is going on?"I questioned
About 10 minutes later, I heard a loud thud sound, like someone punched the wall or something.
"WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN HE TOOK YO PHONE MA? WHY WOULD YOU LET HIM DO THAT?...I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF HE WAS THREATENING YOU! I CANT RISK LOSING LIAH AGAIN MA!"He yelled
"What the hell is he talking about?"I asked myself
"MA DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE CAN EASILY TRACE MY FUCKING NUMBER? FUCK!!"Kentrell yelled, he literally sound like he wanted to cry.
A few seconds later he burst in the bedroom and stared at me from the door frame. I swallowed the lump in my throat "are you okay?" I asked
He sighed and shook his head "no"
"What's wrong?"
He made his way towards the bed and laid next to me. "I was just thinking about, everything I went through to have you back and now, I'm afraid of what I might do if someone try to take you from me"
"What makes you think someone is trying to do that?"
He shrugged "I don't know, just a thought....you know, back when we first met in 2014? I was only 15 years old and my mom was struggling with raising me and my siblings cause her job was only paying her 500 dollars every two weeks, so as you know, I started selling drugs...and I actually was good at it, the first month of selling I made over 10 thousand dollars and as time went by I started to get even better at it, people started to only come to me for drugs and 10 thousand a month went to 50 thousand a month...one day my mom noticed the clothes and the shoes I had were a little different and she asked where I got it from. I decided that it was the perfect time to tell her I was a drug dealer and when I did she kicked me out...I stayed at a the Hoilday inn for a few days with Three and that's when I met you...you were at the hotel with your cousins and you-"
"and I accidentally knocked on the wrong hotel door, yeah I know"I smirked
He chuckled lightly and looked me in the eyes "yeah, and I'm so glad you did...cause my life definitely changed for the better when you came in it...it's like pure euphoria when I'm with you"he said
"And I know you hate me right now but I need to know something"He said
"What?"
"Do you still love me?"he asked
Hell no.
"...yeah"I nodded
"Say it"he clenched his jaw
"I still love you..."I said
He smiled widely "I love you more... and since I love you so much I think you deserve to know the full truth about me"
"What do you mean?"
He looked at me for a second then look back at the ceiling "never mind"
"you can tell me Ken" I said
He smirked lightly "Damn I missed when you use to call me that, but I think it's too soon to tell you"
"Kentrell...how long have we known each other?"I said
He chuckled "I know...but I think it'll be a good idea...to wait to tell you that"
I nodded "okay"
His smile immediately went away and he glared at me "How many times did you fuck that nigga?"
"I-What?"
"You heard what the fuck I said"He said
"why are you asking me this?"
"Cause I wanna know"he shrugged
"That doesn't matter-"
"Yes the fuck it do! Now tell me"He yelled
"I-I don't know"I lied
"Don't lie to me again Liah, just tell the truth"he said
"...Um Three times" I lied again
"3 times?...wow"he shook his head and got out the bed. "I really don't understand, did you not love me? I've tried to have sex with you plenty of times and you never let me but you let that nigga hit when y'all only knew each other for 4 fucking months?!"
"I'm sorry"
He chuckled "you sorry? Yeah fucking right"
"I am"I said
"Why did you leave Chicago?"He asked
"My aunt told me she was ready for a fresh start and that she wanted to leave Chicago in the past-"
"So you didn't think to tell me?! I was so fucking worried about you when I didn't know where you were! Why didn't you tell me you were moving?"
I looked at him, not knowing how to ask his question.
"Tell me!"he screamed
"I didn't want to be with you anymore"I admitted
His face soften "what?..."
"Kentrell, I wasn't happy with you, and let's not forget the fact that you tried to rape me"I felt tears swell up in my eyes
"Why the fuck would you bring that up?"He sighed
"You did.."
"I know Liah, and I apologized didn't I?"
"Did you expect me to just forgive and forget everything you did to me?"
"Yeah, at the end of the day Liah..you hurt me too"he shrugged
I scoffed "what? when did I ever hurt you?"
"WHEN YOU MOVED TO FLORIDA AND GOT PREGNANT BY ANOTHER NIGGA!! YOU DON'T THINK THAT SHIT HURTED ME?"
"You hurt me first Ken, not only did you try to rape...but you cheated on me, and you fucking abused me"
He clenched his jaw "you know I thought that we could raise the baby as our own but, I can't...that baby is a fucking disgrace"he said
I glared at him "My daughter isn't a disgrace, you are"
He smirked softly and walked out the room. Not even a minute later he walked back in with a hammer in his right hand.
"I'm sorry.."he said before making his way towards me, My eyes widened...
