Prologue
Karma!
I was looking right at Milk and Rico and both of them were on the
ground now, so I know neither one of them were doing the shooting. As soon as
I heard the shots, I pushed Sabrina down on the ground. My intentions were to
use my body as a human shield to protect Sabrina and her baby, but I waited too
long. I felt the first bullet hit me in my shoulder and I told myself not to panic.
As long as it was not one of my vital organs I could survive this gunshot.
Suddenly, I felt the second bullet enter my chest. I knew then it was my
time. I fell forward and ended up being the human body shield for Sabrina after
all. I don’t know whether or not it was the sight of my blood pouring out or
Sabrina being in labor that scared me most. She was screaming so loud that I
didn’t even hear the gunshots anymore. This ain’t nothing but karma.
“I’m sorry for everything that I ever did to you, Sabrina. Please forgive
me.” I whispered in her ear.
Visions of my momma and my son Deshawn appeared in my head for a
second, but then they were gone. The pain I was feeling slowly started to ease
away and I could see visions of people dressed in white, but I could not see their
faces. I heard Milk’s voice, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying. I
started to pray. The visions of the people dressed in white were becoming clearer
to me and I was now able to see their faces.
Standing in the distance was my brother Ron, Aunt Sandra, Aunt
Thelma, and Grandma Eldora. They were all happily smiling and waving at me.
I never thought I would see them again after their funerals. As my heart rate
slowly started to decrease, I no longer felt any pain and my brother Ron was
walking towards me. Sabrina rubbed the back of my head and told me to hold
on, but I knew it was time for me to let go. I exhaled my last breath. My brother
was now standing over top of me with his arms outstretched. I reached up, took
him by his hand, and let him lead the way.
Face Off!
I told Sabrina what was going on between me and Milk in the streets. I
even told her about Yvette, but I gave her the PG version. I thought it was
Sabrina knocking at the door like somebody was chasing her, but it turned out to
be her cousin Asia. Shawty was rambling her ass off when I opened the door. All
I heard was ‘Milk… Sabrina…’ and ‘… he gone kill her.’ I told Asia to wait for
me downstairs. I got my gun that had the silencer and scope already attached and
then we were out the door.
We pulled up just in time too because Sabrina had her gun pointed at
Milk. The nigga was able to get the gun away from her and turn it on me. I
wanted to face off with Milk once and for all, but now was not the time. Sabrina
had gone into labor. I was able to wrestle Milk to the ground and we both lost
our guns. Milk’s gun was still in reach for him to grab and blast back when the
shooting started. I could see Sabrina on the ground with Asia on top of her. Fuck
Milk. I had to protect Sabrina.
I got up off the ground, got my gun, and started shooting in the same
direction Milk was shooting in. It was dark and I couldn’t even see anybody’s
shadow. Milk ran out of bullets. He yelled to Sabrina and Asia to stay down on
the ground. I didn’t want to take my eyes off him, but something told me
whoever was doing the shooting was trying to kill both of us. I hit the ground
once I ran out of bullets, but Milk was still shooting into the night.
When he ran out of bullets he reached down and picked up Sabrina’s
gun, but it was then he got shot. Milk stumbled backwards but he kept on
shooting. I could hear Sabrina screaming his name, and for a second I thought
she had been shot, too. When the shooting finally stopped, Milk was stretched
out on his back with his hand on his stomach. The last thing I heard him say
before he closed his eyes was Sabrina’s name.
I could hear the police sirens and I knew they were close by. I didn’t
want to leave Sabrina, but the last thing I needed was to be on the scene of yet
another drive-by shooting. The police weren’t going to buy that I just happened
to be walking by this time. I told that lie already after the shooting at Quikshop. I
knew they would call an ambulance for Sabrina when they got here, so I got in
my truck and took off.
Once I was out of the neighborhood I threw my gun down a sewage
drain along with the shirt I was wearing because it had Asia’s blood on it. I
drove straight to my storage, switched cars, and then drove to my house out at
Larimore Estates.
Today has been fucked up from beginning to end and it can’t get any
worse.
