“Right… so listen,” he says and I nod. “And mi have mi gang.”
“The youth weh send Na—the head,” he slowly opens a crumpled paper and I read ‘you’re next’and panic. “He was my best friend.”
WHAT!?
Then this nuh really really deadly? Close fren war always deadly enuh.
“So you know it’s not like any other type of war because we both know each other’s weakness. And he’s already starting on my weaknesses. He knows that I love Nature and that’s why he… killed him.” Whereis he goingwith this?
“So wah mi a say is, the world know say you a mi weakness so he’s going to attack you next and mi nah make him hurt you so mi a go mek some changes,” he says and I gasp. What changes?
“What?” I ask.
“A war a go start and him know where I live so I don’t want when I’m at theunderground he gets to hurt you when I’m distracted so I’m gonna buy a house or an apartment for you. You and Suzanne affi go stay there cause this isn’t just Golf and Outlaw war this is Nickoi, Junior verses Lennox and Doritoscause this is deep from my father’s time,” he explains. Doritos? Weh mi hear deh name deh?
The bwoy today with the dye hair.
This is too much to digest.
“Who is Doritos?” I raise a brow. Oh my God that’s why he was staring at the car. Andtalking to you!
Oh my…
“Lennox brother,” Nickoi says then it clicks.
LENNOX
“A so him girlfriend nice?” Doritos asks and I nod my head.
His lip curls into a smile.
“Mi did tell yuh,” I retort and puff the spliff. “But yuh neva’ a meds it.”
“Mi think yuh did an exaggerate,” Doritos laughs. I shake my head no.
“A real thing mon… so wah you say gwaan today now?” I change the topicand he sits down. My aunt walks over to us, putting down box food on thetable.
“Soon send the liquor dem.”
“Thanks,” Doritos says, and I stare at him, waiting to hear what he has to say.
“Mi know him black Benz and the license plate enuh and mi follow it and see say it stop at the doctor office and mi just park deh and mek Deja go indeh,” he tells me.
“Eeeeh?” I look up at him.
He nods. “Yah and mi feel seh eh bwoy Nick did in deh somehow and when the girl come back mi go over deh ready fi shoot him up eno. Mi nuh 3 wah the war so mi wish him did in deh fi just get it over with,” Doritos admits.
“It would a good if you did get fi shoot him up without kill him then wetorture him,” Creature smirks.
“Yeah,” Doritos agrees and avert his attention to me. We are in the backyard, chilling. The other gang members are on the street, drinking or doingwhatever they want to do. I don’t care.
“You feel him get the head?” Creature rubs his hands together.
I glare at him. “Bredda yaw wah? Mek things surface nuh? Yuh just a rusheverything so.”
“The bwoy fi dead and unuh a wait,” Creature says and I drape his shirt.
“Gwaan like yuh wah rule man and yuh see if mi nuh buss yuh jelly,” I warn and he sighs.
