Loose Ends

When we walked back into the hotel, Tracy asked me, “What do you think about what Bruce had to say tonight?”

“I thought he was just telling the truth. He could have said it nicer, but it was still the truth.”

“Yeah, his truth,” Tracy responded. “He needs to learn how to loosen up a bit and stop labeling people.”

“So, what does Kiwana think about the movie?” I asked her. I was curious myself. Bruce had pushed the issue.

Tracy said, “Of course she’s supportive.”

“She told you that?” I asked my cousin. I needed her exact wording. I wanted to see what I could read from Kiwana’s exact words.

“She doesn’t have to say it. I know she supports it.”

That changed everything for me. I needed more proof of Kiwana’s loyalty. Bruce had turned me into a skeptic.

“Are you gonna ask her like he told you to?”

Tracy eyed me with conviction. She said, “Yes, I’ll call the girl and get it out of her. Okay? Is everybody happy now?”

I smiled. She was overreacting.

I said, “If you’re gonna act like that, it makes it seem like Kiwana doesn’t have your full confidence.”

“She does have my confidence.”

“Well, then, it shouldn’t be such a big deal to you.”

“All right, let me call her right now. I know she’s up with the baby and everything.”

I walked to the elevators with Tracy and waited. She then took out her cell phone and dialed Kiwana’s home number while we waited for the elevators to arrive.

She waited for the phone to be answered. “Hey, how are you? I’m sorry to call this late, but is Kiwana still up with the baby . . . Oh, okay . . . Yeah, she can call me back. It’s not urgent or anything, I was just calling to make sure she made it back in . . . I’m fine. And how are you?”

When Tracy disconnected the call, she said, “I don’t believe I called them at this time of night.” It was close to midnight.

I said, “Well, I’m tired. I don’t think I got enough rest last night.”

“What were you up doing?” Tracy asked me.

We were still waiting for the elevators.

I answered, “Just thinking about a lot of things. I still need to take my sister Veronica out to eat. And I still haven’t gone home to see my mother.”

“You and me both,” Tracy stated. “But I’m surprised I haven’t seen Jason hanging around here this week. Has he tried to call Sasha and Jasmine?”

“They haven’t talked about it,” I told her.

As far as Jason was concerned, my plan was to give my cousin short answers and nothing more.

She said, “I told him to stay away during the beginning of the week, but I didn’t think he’d actually listen to me.”

I had no comment. I didn’t want to talk about Jason. He was out of my hands.

But as soon as the elevator doors opened and guests walked off for us to walk on, Jason and his boy rounded the corner of the lobby with Maddy and Alexandria.
