Her shit was leaking, and I didn’t feel bad about it. She should have left me alone.
Carmen and Isis came from the back and noticed what was happening.
“Raina, you good? What happened?” Isis asked.
“What do you mean is she good? She did this to me!” Drizzle stomped her foot and grabbed some napkins.
Meanwhile, her friends just looked on like they didn’t know what to do.
“I think you need to leave,” Carmen said.
Drizzle had a smirk on her face until she realized she wasn’t talking to me.
One of her friends helped her out because they knew not to argue with Carmen or Isis. They typically didn’t get involved with too much, but they had the authority to kick people out when the guys weren’t around.
“What was that about?” Carmen asked when they were gone.
I told them exactly what happened and how Drizzle had been acting since I started there.
“Girl, fuck her. You did the right thing,” Isis said when I was done. “She thinks Kane is going to wife her; ain’t nobody trying to wife her trout ass.”
“I’m the last person she needs to be worrying about.”
The two of them shared a look that I couldn’t decipher.
“What?”
They both shrugged.
“Nothing,” Carmen said with a smirk. “Anyway, we came to tell you that we are getting ready to leave. You gonna be good?”
“I sure am. I want to clean out my brother’s locker so I can use it.”
I was finally ready to go through my brother’s locker.
“Okay, girl.” Isis put her hand on top of mine. “If you need one of us, don’t hesitate to call.”
I assured them I would be fine. Once they left, I got back to my customers.
Once I was done with my shift, I went to the locker room to retrieve whatever my brother had in there. It wasn’t much, so I put it in a bag to go through it once I got home.
When I got home, I took a shower and changed my clothes, then went into my room. My parents were out somewhere, so I had the house to myself. I sat on the bed with my feet crossed as music played from my phone. I should have gotten myself something to eat, but I was anxious to see what my brother had left behind. I hoped it was something that could give me some insight into what happened.
I emptied the contents on my bed and went through each item. Most of it was stuff that could go in the garbage. Condoms, phone numbers, and some other stuff I didn’t care about. There was a picture of him and me from when we were younger, so I pushed that to the side to keep.
“What is this?” I picked up the small velvet bag and opened it. I stuck my hand inside and pulled out a flash drive. I quickly got up and grabbed my computer. I was thankful that the computer I had was old, and it still had a slot to put the flash drive in.
I pushed the flash drive and chewed my bottom lip to see what it was.
Once it loaded, a video of my brother popped up. Instantly, tears streamed down my face when I saw him. He looked around a few times before he leaned forward. He looked stressed and scared. I’d never seen him look the way he looked.
“If you are seeing this, then more than likely, something has happened to me. I’m not sure what is going on, but some shady shit is going on with the higher-ups in this club. People are being disloyal, and if word gets out of what I overheard, it’s going to be a blood bath in the streets.”
Someone called his name, and the video stopped. I tried to watch it again, to listen to the voice that called him, but I couldn’t figure out who it was. It didn’t sound like anyone I’d met. More tears fell from my eyes, and I was a little scared because I was right in the middle of things, and if what my brother said was true, I could be in trouble.
I didn’t know who to tell, or if I should tell anyone. I didn’t want to worry my parents, or even Candace, especially since I didn’t have concrete evidence. I couldn’t tell Kane because he could have been who my brother was talking about. For some reason, I didn’t want to believe he was, though. For the moment, I would keep it to myself.
I started the video again and jumped when I heard my phone ring. Looking at the screen, my stomach tightened when I saw Kane’s name going across it.
