Chapter Forty-Three

I didn’t have the luxury of taking the G-5 or the heli this time. My punishment for lacking respectable decision-making abilities is that I have to fly in a piece of shit. I thought shit would get better when I switched planes in Atlanta, but I was wrong. From there, I hopped in a little loud ass crop-duster and took it the rest of the way without earplugs.

It’s 9:00p.m. when the plane lands at a small airport in Columbian County, Ohio. I still feel the vibration in my ass. I’m six hours late for my appointment with the warden and holding onto a pile of questions in my head that I need to unload with the quickness on Uncle/Agent Coleman, about this life I inherited.

A half hour later at a prison in Lisbon, Ohio, about an eight-mile cab ride south of the airport, I get a Facetime call from Asia. The taxi driver is patiently waiting for his money in the prison parking lot and I’m fishing through my wallet for a hundred.

“Hold on for a second.” I say. “I have to take this call.”

“Take all the time you need.” He happily replies.

His meter still running and the dollar amount owed to him growing steadily by the second.

I see a man on my screen and he’s wearing a blue ski mask.

“Hey!” I say confused.

“You need to get on a plane and get back to Maryland or your precious Asia is dead.”

Are you with ISIS or some shit?

“Who the fuck is this?” I ask.

“This is a man who’s not in the mood for joking or stalling. You will be at Asia’s condo before sunrise.”

“For what?”

“You will not involve the Police and you will bring five million- dollars cash. If any of these demands are not met she will die. Is that clear?”

“Who the fuck is this?”

“I’m going to repeat myself once and only once. You will be at Ms. Whitfield’s condo before sunrise or she will die. You will bring five million dollars in cash or she will die. If you involve the Police she will die. If any of these demands are not me she will die. Do you understand?”

“Let me speak to Asia.”

I hear rustling then I see Asia’s face on my screen.

“Lyric, whatever you have to do to get this guy…”

She goes silent and the masked man’s face is back on the screen.

“Hello!” I shout. “Asia!”

“Mr. Dorsey, her life is in your hands,” the man assures me. “This is not a game. You are not dealing with a person who has a problem cutting this baby out of her and sending you the remains. Am I clear?”

“I understand!” I answer with obvious panic in my voice.

“Then I’ll see you soon.”
