Chapter 13

When Tyler walked through the door I was in the middle of cleaning my pistol on the living room couch. He didn’t need instructions on how to get to the house because he already knew where it was. I hopped up with the anticipation of seeing Marie alive and well, but when all I saw was Tyler and Looney walk into the living room, I gave them a confused look.

“She wasn’t there?” I asked, seeing the stoic expression on Tyler’s face when he took a seat beside me on the couch.

I sat my gun on the table in front of me and turned my body to face him. His response was to rub his chin with a nod, without looking at me.

“Well, then what the fuck? Where is she at, in the car? Tell that girl to come on in here!” I asked, looking from him to Looney.

“She stayed, she had to,” Tyler said shocking me.

“If she had left that would have been a red flag to that nigga,” Looney said, speaking of Khiron. “So she decided to stay. Li’l mama got heart. She’s taking one for the team.”

It was a sad realization, but I understood. Marie had just earned her respect from me. I reached over and grabbed Tyler’s hand.

“When this shit is over we will bring her home, I promise,” I told him and he just nodded his head. I turned back to Looney. “It’s late, so you can sleep here tonight Loon.”

“Nahhh,” Looney said sarcastically. “Did you think a nigga was gonna drive home? You smoking that shit, Say?”

Despite the situation, Tyler laughed and I did too. Looney was a mood lightener. Once you got past his rough and intimidating outer layer he was actually a joy to be around. At that moment I was thankful for him.

“Shut yo’ ass up, nigga,” I said, still laughing. “I ain’t smoking shit, I was just trying to be hospitable.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Looney said walking toward the stairs. “I’m going to sleep! I’ll see y’all in the morning!”

After he disappeared I turned my attention back to Tyler. I gently put my hand on his soft cheek and pulled myself closer to him. My God, had I missed him, and I knew he needed me right then.

“I shouldn’t have left her,” Tyler said, looking down at me. “I found her to lose her again? What the fuck am I thinking, Say? She could die tomorrow.”

“Shhh,” I cooed him like a baby. “Marie is strong, and if she survived for this long she can for a few more days. Her decision was the best one. You didn’t lose her. Once we handle business we’re going to get her.”

“She’s in a whore house, Say . . . my baby sister is in a whore house.”

His fists clenched tightly shut and I had to admit too that what he had just told me was a big pill to swallow. I didn’t know what to say. I knew what went on in those houses, and to my knowledge The Last Kings didn’t have one.
