IX.

Candace doesn't know that I overheard her conversation with Gunnah and I don't plan on telling her until I know there was no time for her to save him. Last I heard Gunnah was going to touch down in two days, and Candace has been on tens with me ever since. The closer it got to time for her brother to come, the worse it got. She was acting pitiful, begging me not to leave the house. She was trying so hard to keep me from going after her brother. If only she knew that her brother would actually be coming to me.

The day before her brother came, Candace hid my gun case. I knew at that moment that I had to find a way to get her out of the way before she ruined the plan. So that night I faked a breakdown. I had to make her believe that I wasn't going to kill her brother. So I lied. I told her I wouldn't do it because that's not what my father wanted, and my mother needed me, and some other bullshit. She believed it of course, and then suggested we invite Gunnah over for dinner to talk things out since she said they were from the same neighborhood. I agreed and she hasn’t bothered me since. Now with her out of the way, I knew there was nothing stopping me.

I was sitting down on my bed cleaning my guns like I always do. Today was the day I’ve been waiting so long for. The day Gunnah was finally going to get what he deserved. Candace came in and threw her arms around me. “I’m so proud of you bae.”

“For what?” I questioned.

“You overcame your anger instead of taking another man’s life,” She said. I smiled. She was so oblivious. I couldn’t believe it was that easy to trick her. “I finished dinner and he called and said he’ll be here in ten minutes.”

“Great,” I said. “Romello will be here in five, open the door for him.”

“Romello?” she asked. “What is he coming for?”

“Oh, I invited him. You know Montrell was like his brother too. Your brother owes him an apology as well,” I lied. Now take your pretty self in the living room and get ready for your brother to come.”

She was hesitant but did as she was told. She went into the living room and as soon as she was out of sight, I cocked my gun and placed it inside my pants. The plan was simple. Instead of Gunnah trying to find Kendale in the streets, he was going to be standing near the apartments. Gunnah was going to chase him into the apartment where Romello and I would be waiting for him, guns drawn. He would run right in and stare down the barrels of two guns. Candace would get to see her brother get shot in front of her face. Just like I did. She deserved it for trying to set me up.

I heard the doorbell ring and I walked into the living room to see Romello.
