Page 113 of Halo: Tales Of A Hitman

“Greek, you, and Blake go. Me and Golden will stay here.” I told him.

They took off and went through the dining room to the kitchen. I caught Golden up on what I had learned. He stepped over the maid and stood next to me with his gun still pointed at Keanu and Arabia.

“Wasn’t you our fifth-grade teacher? Ms. Toll, right?”

“Yes.” She answered and wiped her wet face.

“WE GOT HER HALO!” Blake shouted up the stairs to me.

I looked at Arabia and asked, “Were you texting from her phone?”

This time she just nodded her head instead of answering.

“As if you did not fuck my life up any more than you did when I was ten. You turn around and do all this shit. You’re a vindictive, sick in the mind witch. I should have haunted you down and ended you.” I did not even realize I was emotional until I felt the tear fall from my eye.

“Hold on. It was her. This is who…her!” Golden reminded me that he was right there when he talked. “You the nasty bitch, hell no.” I did not expect him to shoot on the side.

Arabia fell back holding it and Keanu yelled out and ran to her.

“Golden! Stop!” I told him so he would not kill her.

Greek and Blake came back and he was carrying Story. She had a cut on the side of her head.

“Take her.” I told Golden and he got hold of Dallas.

I went to Story as Greek sat her on the couch. She did not have much on but some pajama shorts and a green tank top. I took my hoodie off and put it on her. Then I had to give her a hug. She hugged me back so tightly that for a second, we were one person. Her cries broke my heart.

“How did you know I was here?” She asked me while I looked her over. I even kissed her lips a few times. She allowed me and was kissing me back, nothing deep but they were meaningful.

“I’ll catch you up later. Are you okay? What did they do to you?”

“I’m fine, just cold. The only think Keanu did was hit my head against the wall. Other than that, his wife threatened me. Halo, she’s the teacher---

“I already know boo. I know. Can you stand and walk?”

“Yeah, I can walk. My head just hurts, that’s all.”

I took her hand and we went back to the dining room. As soon as I saw Keanu I let her hand go and hit him in his jaw. Then I grabbed him tightly with his shirt and slammed his head against the wall. Blood spilled from the side of his head. Still holding him, I bent down and talked.

“The job that you needed us for tomorrow. Was Story the hit?”

He looked at her and I blocked him. “Nigga don’t look at her, answer me!”

“She was the hit.” He replied. “But Halo, I did not know she was your ex. Nor did I know what Arabia did to you. I always knew she was jacked up in the head. She thought I didn’t, but I knew about the seniors even when we were in Atlanta. But I did not know she had a dark past like that. On God I didn’t.”

He confessed loosely like it was supposed to move me. Greek handed me a a gun and I put it to Keanu’s head.

“Rather this happened or not. You were already dead the minute I found out someone else got Story pregnant. Kidnapping her just makes this all the sweeter.” I let him know then I pulled the trigger.

Keanu!” Arabia screamed.

“Daddy!” Dallas followed next.

I got up and went over to Arabia. She was holding her side, her hand had blood on it and she was sweating.

“Come here Story.” I called her.

When she came and stood next to me, I asked, “What was the threat she made towards you?”
