Chapter Four

Emily slammed the front door of their apartment and called out.

“Beth!”

Beth ran into the kitchen. Her long, black hair streaking behind her.

“Hey girl. What happened to you? I’ve been calling everybody I know looking for you!” she stopped and looked Emily over. “Sugar were ya attacked? If some motherfucker touched ya I will go Jamaican crazy on his ass.” She was about to continue but Emily held up her hand.

“No honey it’s not like that. I mean I was attacked but not by the men.” Emily let out the breath she didn’t realize she was holding.

Beth folded her arms and tapped her foot.

“The men as in plural. Girl you better spill. Now!” Her chin tilted to one side, her eyebrows arching.

Emily choked back a laugh. Beth’s attitude toward men took the edge of her hysteria.

Beth put her arm around Emily and guided her to one a chair at the tiny kitchen table. Beth’s accent was thicker than usual.

“Sit, Sistra. I’ll fix ya some tea.”

Emily recounted the previous evening. She had just started to tell Beth about Gideon joining her and Gabriel when Beth interrupted.

“Girl, are you about to tell me that you had sex with not one but two men of hotness?” Beth fiddled with her rooster tea cup.

“Yes, I had sex with two hot men. But that’s not the bad part,” Emily said.

“Damn straight! You left here a virgin and you come back a sex goddess. I snap my G-string to you girl!” She slapped her hands down on the table then added. “I’s gonna have to step up mah game.”

“There’s more to the story. I need to tell you so we can pack and get the hell out of here,” she said.

“Leave? These men did they threaten ya? Coz I will slap those mothers down if they hurt ya.”

Emily’s shoulders sagged. “No. It wasn’t the men. It was someone else. But he was scariest man I have ever seen in my life.”

“Some man dun scare ya? I will….”

“Beth. You’re not helping. I need to tell you what happened so we can leave,” Emily said.

“Girl ya trippin. You don’t gotta tell me no story to get me to go. The rats is too good to live in this place,” Beth said.

“Beth, I’m serious here!”

Beth gestured, locking her lips and throwing away the key. Emily recapped the events leading up to her dressing in the elevator and rushing home.

Emily waited for Beth to respond and although she was looking straight at Emily she seemed to be staring right through her.

“Queffa,” Beth said, finally.

Killer? Emily was confused by Beth’s emotionless tone. She was always fully animated but seemed frozen. The rush of cold air made her neck tingle in an unnatural way.

As she turned in her chair to see what caused the sensation, Julius materialized beside their table.

“Hello Emily,” he said.

Emily felt nauseous “How did you…?”

His smile was cold. “Find you? I followed you. I was down the stairs before your elevator reached the ground floor.” He turned his attention to Beth.
