say no one was or had been on the road that
night…except for her. Destiny, that’s what she said her name was. I
remembered waking up and seeing her… looking at her beautiful face.
She looked familiar, and not just because she reminded me of Naomi
Campbell with her chocolate skin and almond shaped eyes, but
because I had remembered seeing her somewhere before. I shook my
head when I thought back on it. From the way I acted I probably
scared the hell out of her. I didn’t even remember why I was acting
so crazy; maybe I was just in shock. I lay back onto the hospital
bed and tried to find some peace of mind.
    “ You still thinking about
her?” Nurse Joy looked at me smiling like she knew what was going
through my head. I played it off. “I don’t know who you are talking
about…I aint thinking bout nobody.” “You not huh?” She gave me the
suspicious eye. “Well there was a pretty young lady who saved you
from a fatal accident and who even stayed out in the lobby all
night while the doctors worked on you…And then somebody scared her
away.” She said glancing in my direction. “I didn’t mean to scare
her…damn I don’t know what the fuck was wrong with me.” I sighed.
Nurse Joy gave me the evil eye for my language and I quickly
apologized. “I’m sorry...I just don’t know what happened.” “Well
don’t worry with it too much…if it’s meant to be you’ll see her
again.” I shrugged like I didn’t care one way or the other…but
truth is I did want to see her again. If nothing else to at least
thank her for saving my life. I looked up to a knock on the door.
“Am I interrupting?” An intruder asked. I rolled my eyes. Oh hell , I
thought. Why is he here? Detective Trent made his way into my room looking
as nonchalant as ever. He still wore his dark street clothing not
drawing to much attention to himself, but I was a trained cop
spotter, I could see they ass coming from a mile away. “Good
morning Mr. Lyfe…mind if I have a word.”
    I slowly sat up in the bed
making eye contact with him. He was the same middle aged Spanish
cat who stayed prowling the streets looking for the next take
down…Detective Trent. “Nurse Joy do you mind giving us a minute?” I
said without looking at her. She saw the seriousness in my eyes and
took the hint. “I’m just a buzz away if you need me…” She walked
out the room closing the door to give us some privacy. Detective
Trent eyed me for a moment before speaking. “Well Derrick I must
say I’m sad to see you in such conditions…you don’t look too well”
I chuckled at his arrogance thinking he was superior to me in my
weak state… he was sadly mistaken. “Well then you should know that
I don’t feel like entertaining your bullshit today so what do you
want?”
    He shrugged like he was
just in the neighborhood and was passing through. “Well I just
wanted to check up on you…see how you’re doing …pretty rough
accident.” I nodded not buying his so concerned act. “Well as you
can see I’m alive and well.” “That you are…thanks to a Destiny
Witt.” He said looking from me to a sheet of paper in his
hands.
    “ That was a pretty brave
act she did. Helping you escape from an exploding car… you might
want to thank her.” I nodded. “Oh Detective I plan to…in more ways
than one if you catch my drift.” I laid back and smirked at him. He
smiled as well but it didn’t register in his eyes.
    “ Derrick you’re sliding on
the line of confidence and cockiness…good thing you wear it
well.”
    “ It’s a talent of mine…Now
Detective it’s been a long day, I really don’t have time to do the
same song and dance with you as always, so can you get to the real
reason why you’re here.”
    My body was aching and I
was ready for his ass to leave not knowing why he had come in the
first place. He nodded and proceeded on. “Yeah regarding your
accident you were on the road pretty late…mind telling me where you
were going?” I
