not only her, but her army as well. I’m more of a trustee, if you will.” He smirked and pushed some of his wild hair from his face.
“So should we go with you or you going by yourself? Because I’m not really for getting my damn head chopped off and shit.”
Alias looked from Jacko to Demoto before laughing. “You will accompany me, but you will do so from a distance. There’s a small spot that we normally meet. It’s a playground in the valley. You two will be able to see us, but she won’t see you. That’s if she comes. Normally, she sends someone in her place.”
“Cool. What do I need to bring?”
“Nothing. There will be nothing to do tonight as this is just a meeting.” He looked at his watch. “I’ll be back in two hours. You two should be ready by then.” Alias nodded his head once and left.
After locking the door and securing that no one else would be coming in Demoto took a seat on the bed and closed his eyes. He was getting closer, and he needed to get his mind together. He needed to be relaxed in order to get this done. There was a large problem that he had when it came to his temper.
After he’d lost his cool, there was no turning back. Minutes turned into hours as they chilled around the room, waiting to for Alias to return. They had both eaten, taken a shower, and gotten dressed. With their locks pulled back into ponytails, it was easier to put their hoodies over their heads. They were standing up, sticking their phones in their pockets, when they heard knocking on the door.
“You ready?” Jacko looked at Demoto.
“Hell yeah. You?”
“Shid, as ready as I’mma be.”
Jacko walked to the door and opened it. Alias stepped in with a child. She resembled him as she clung to his neck. Her clothes and hair were just as wild as his. She looked from Demoto to Jacko before laying her head down on Alias’ shoulder and closing her eyes.
“You boys ready?”
“You taking a baby?” Demoto had to ask.
Alias looked down at her and pressed his lips to her forehead. “Yes. She’s my younger sister and I always take her. Being that the discussion goes on at a park, it just makes sense. It throws everything off, but also makes it run smoothly.”
Demoto didn’t say anything because he could understand the reasoning, but he still didn’t agree with it. Why take a child to see a murderer? That was just asking for trouble.
“I have a few weapons for the both of you, a gun and a machete. Who wants what?”
Jacko held his hand out. “Give me the gun. I’ll leave that knife shit to y’all Africans.”
Demoto and Alias both laughed as he sat the little girl down on the bed. He pulled his backpack off and handed them their weapons of choice before replacing it and leading them out. They followed him to the topless jeep and got in, Jacko in the front, and Demoto in the back with the little girl. He was the most noticeable, so he needed the most covering.
The ride to the park was peaceful and quick. Demoto was almost surprised when he felt the car coming to a stop. He looked around trying to see where they were. He recognized the park immediately. His father used to walk him and Adisa there almost every day after school. He looked around, trying to see where his mother was, but saw nothing.
“Where’s the queen?”
“The meeting is not for another thirty minutes. I just wanted to arrive early so that it’s less attention on my ride here. I’ll be leaving you two in the car. The cloth roof can be easily spread over the top. When I get out in a moment, I’m going to cover the jeep up. You two can watch from here. It will be a little strenuous on your eyes because the park is a little distance away, but I’m sure you can manage.” Alias got out and grabbed the top for his truck.
Once it was spread over the entire jeep, he reached in and grabbed his sister. He and she walked to the park and began to play. Demoto was slouched down in the seat looking around. He could see every inch
