Game Time

Around ten o’clock the very next morning, Mr. Shapiro called me on my cell phone to give me the heads up about when me and Nikki were supposed to be meeting the Feds. When the call came through, me and Ricky were sitting at the kitchen table eating a plate of eggs and corned

beef hash I had just picked up from the Denny’s restaurant up the street.

“Hello,” I said.

“Good morning Kira. This is Mr. Shapiro.”

“Good morning.”

“I’ve got some information for you. Is this a good time?”

“No, not really,” I told him.

“Is your husband around?”

“Yeah,” I answered, trying not to change the tone of my voice.

“Okay. Well, I’ll tell you what. I’m about to go to court because I have a case scheduled at eleven o’clock. So if you like, I could either call you back when I get to the office, or you can call me after five.”

“It doesn’t matter. Either way is alright wit’ me.”

“Okay, then. I guess I’ll be calling you back after I get out of court.”

“That’s fine.”

“Okay. Talk to you then.”

“Alright. Bye.”

“Bye.”

After I pressed the end button on my phone and looked up, Ricky was looking straight in my face. “Who was that?” he asked in a serious tone.

“Oh, that wasn’t nobody but Nikki’s lawyer.”

“What he talking ’bout?” Ricky pressed the issue.

“Nothing. But he did say that things wit’ Nikki’s case is looking up. And that he sent me a copy of her motion. He wanted to know if I had gotten it yet and I told him, no.”

“When is her next court date?”

“He hasn’t set one yet.”

“Why not?”

“Because he said he wants Nikki to go in front of a certain judge.”

“Well, when you find out when her court date is, let me know so I can send one of my peoples down there witcha.”

“And what they gon’ do?” I asked.

“They ain’t gon’ do nothing.”

“So, why you gon’ send one of your flunkies wit’ me? I mean, I’ve been doing fine all this time.”

“Well, damn! All I want them to do is find out what’s going on, so I can be two steps ahead of them.”

“What you think I’ve been doing? Just sittin’ around not saying nothing to you? ‘Cause if I can recall, I’ve told you everything Nikki’s lawyer done told me,” I replied, sarcastically.

“Well, okay. You gotta point! So, don’t bite my head off.”

Instead of making a comment, I got up from the table to throw the rest of my food in the trashcan, since I suddenly lost my appetite. After that, I put my plate in the sink and turned to leave the kitchen.

“Now, I know you ain’t mad over that?” Ricky said.

“Boy, leave me alone,” I replied, and headed into the den. I just knew Ricky was going to get out of his chair and follow me, but this time he didn’t. I guess things do get old. Which made me wonder whether or not he was onto what was about to go down.

But then again, if he did know, then why was he acting so calm about it? It just didn’t make sense.
