CHAPTER 15

One day my pager started beeping, back to back to back. I was at Lonnie’s crib getting blazed with him, Delina, Pete, and Kyree. I saw that it was my mother’s phone number flashing across the screen. No need to go to a pay phone to call her back, she wouldn’t want to discuss anything illegal, so it was cool to dial her from Lonnie’s home phone.

“Yeah?”

“Have you heard from Toi lately?” my mother asked.

“Not since early last week.”

“Well, I’m worried about her,” said Ann, her voice reflecting her words. “I’ve been trying to reach her all week. I even went by her house yesterday and no one answered the door.”

I told her Toi had probably gone out of town with Glen.

“No. She would’ve called to let me know. She was supposed to pick up a prescription for me. I’ve been sick. If she’d gone out of town, I’m sure she would’ve let me know to pick up the medicine myself.” Sounding a lot more worried than I was.

I didn’t know if my mother knew Toi’s boyfriend was a hustler, but I knew he was. Therefore, there were many reasons why him and my sister might go out of town without telling anyone first. Maybe they’d gone to pick up drugs from Glen’s supplier.

“Toi probably forgot about your prescriptions, Ma,” I said, not wanting to mention Toi boyfriend’s business.

I didn’t begin to share my mother’s worry until another week passed without either of us hearing from Toi. I went by Toi’s crib. Her and Glen’s whips were in the parking lot, but no one answered the door. My mother filed a Missing Person report with the police. A couple days later, the police searched my sister’s apartment. Though Mama told me they found no evidence of a disturbance inside the apartment, they suspected foul play because they’d found Glen’s keys still in the ignition, and Toi’s purse inside the truck on the floorboard.

My mother was hysterical. I was extremely worried, but I tried to convince myself that Toi would show up any day with a logical explanation.

A few days later my mother’s worst fear was confirmed. Police notified her that both Toi and Glen’s bodies had been found. The brief news article that appeared in the paper the following day said that a jogger had discovered the two decomposed bodies along a seldom used path where he sometimes went to exercise and run. The wooded area was less than two miles from Toi’s apartment. An autopsy revealed that Toi and Glen and had both been shot, point-blank twice, in the back of the head. The police had no suspects. I had a prime suspect in mind, unless Glen had crossed someone in his drug dealings, someone I didn’t know.

The days leading up to my sister’s funeral, and even the funeral itself, still remained somewhat hazy in my mind. For one, Toi’s murder fucked me up so bad I stayed high on cocaine and weed. I snorted so much cocaine it’s amazing I didn’t OD.
