Kip knocked on his brother’s door and then pushed it open. He didn’t wait for an answer. Kid was already dressed and in his wheelchair. Though it was a gloomy day, looking like rain sooner than later, Kid was ready to go down to the park and play some chess. He looked up at his brother and groaned, still feeling some type of way about the other day.

“What you want, Kip?” he asked with a slight attitude.

“Look, little brother, I know you’re still upset wit’ me, but I need for you to stay away from the park for a few weeks.”

“What? Why?” Kid hollered, taken aback by what he just heard.

“There’s some shit that went down, and things are ’bout to heat up, and I don’t need you in the line of fire.”

“Then what I’m supposed to do?”

“I don’t know, but that park, it’s not safe right now.”

Kid glared at his brother and spat, “It’s because of some shit you did, right?”

“Look, I’m not tryin’ to argue wit’ you. I’m just tryin’ to keep you safe.”

“I already don’t do much around here, Kip. Now you’re trying to keep me on house arrest and stop me from doing what I love.”

Kip sighed. He moved closer to his brother.

Kid wheeled himself farther away, moving toward the window. He didn’t want to be close to Kip. What he wanted to do was jump up from his chair and punch him in the face. Chess was his hobby and his livelihood too. It was his girlfriend, the woman he fell in love with. Now Kip was breaking them apart.

“Look, how about you play here?” Kip suggested.

“What?”

“I mean, call up some peoples you trust and play in the living room.”

“It won’t be the same.”

“Look, nigga, I’m tryin’ to work wit’ you here, a’ight! Fuck, Kid, compromise wit’ me,” Kip hollered.

Kid frowned. He wondered when Kip ever compromised. “Okay, I’ll play here. You happy?”

“Nah, but I feel better.”

“Can you leave, please? I just want to be alone,” Kid said sadly.

Kip shook his head and left the room, closing the door behind him. He knew it was hard for his brother to leave the park alone, but it had to be done. Everything was changing, and there were people out there that would use Kid to get at him, and he wasn’t about to let that happen.

He left the apartment with his gun in his waistband. He had some business to take care of with Maserati Meek.

Kip drove alone this time to meet with Maserati Meek. He was on the Long Island Expressway doing sixty. It was late morning, and the sky looked like it was about to burst open with rain. It was a cooler day with the fall-like weather. He wore a hoodie and his beige Timberlands. Droplets of rain began to spray against his windshield. He turned on the wipers and continued east on the highway.

Kip listened to the radio while on the way to Meek’s stash house. The media were still talking about the Jason Miller incident, the robbery, the shooting.
