Harmony

Gravesite of Cage

Baltimore, Maryland

I wiped my tears, hoping against hope that no one could tell that I wasn’t just crying due to my grief, but also due to my guilt.

It’s my fault that Cage is dead.

While I’d been reassured by almost everyone, telling me that it wasn’t my fault, I knew it was.

I’d been the one who talked him out of taking the job with the Irish man.

Not Andrew McCarthy.

Cathal O’Sullivan.

He was the patriarch of the O’Sullivan clan. He’d been one in a long line of criminal leaders, politicians, and governmental heads who had approached Cage and me, trying to get Cage on board to work with them. Each time, Cage and I would discuss it and I would talk him out of it.

“I just got you back from serving over in Afghanistan. In a dangerous war that is, for some reason, still going on, and you want to… what? Serve in a war over here that ain’t got shit to do with us?” I asked angrily in a harsh whisper as I put CJ: Cage Jr., to bed.

“How can you say this war ain’t got nothin’ to do with us? This is our country ain’t it?”

I spun around to stare at Cage, pointing at his chest.

“I mean… if you want to be technical and real about it? This is the country of my people. The rest of you showed up here on boats. Either voluntarily or not.”

Cage grinned at me, rolling his eyes. “Hey, you had people that were brought over on them damn boats too, Har.”

I waved my hand. My father is Paiute, my mother is Nigerian and Malian. While my mother’s family had been slaves, my father’s was indigenous to North America. My mother had died when I was only fifteen, and she’d been sick for seven years before that. The cervical cancer she had been diagnosed with when I was a little girl had metastasized and spread throughout her entire body. I knew a part of me clung so fiercely to my father’s heritage because my mother’s family hadn’t accepted her marriage to an Indigenous man, whereas my father’s family had welcomed her—and me—with open arms.

“Still… and don’t try to change the subject. The plain and simple fact is, you don’t need to take this job, Cage.” I walked up to him, wrapped my arms around his neck, shivering internally at how much taller than me he was—I loved a tall man—and kissing his chin. “Just say no, baby. For me.”
