BONES

Sadness was trapped in my eyes. Brianna was in my thoughts. I didn’t know where she could possibly be until I parked my car in front of Theo’s house. There Brianna was, running around in the yard and playing with two other kids. A sigh of relief came over me. Thank God she wasn’t dead. I wanted to call Alexis right away to let her know Brianna was good. Alive. But instead, I had to let her sweat for a little while. She was the one who had put us all in this fucked-up situation, and even though I took part of the blame, still, if it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t be here. Nate . . . dead. Red . . . dead. I had to do what I had to do pertaining to her, but I was still in shock about Nate killing himself. Damn. That was fucked up. The thoughts of what went down would stick with me. I was sure that was his purpose.

By now, I figured the police were swarming Red’s place. It looked like a murder-suicide, if you asked me. That was how I intended to spin it, and unfortunately, Nate had to go down as a crazy-ass nigga who couldn’t control himself. I was almost sure that Alexis would tell the same story, if she was questioned. And as soon as I finished my business with Theo, the plan was to check back in with Alexis to make sure she told the police everything they needed to know.

I flicked a cigarette butt out the window, then opened the car door. The kids Brianna kept playing with were still running around, but she stopped running to look at me. My heart went out to her. She had no idea what had happened to the man she had known as her father, and it was a shame that she was born into this fucked-up situation. While something inside told me she was my daughter, I still wasn’t sure. I intended to get a DNA test done pronto.

“Is my daddy with you?” Brianna asked with a bright smile. “He dropped me off earlier and said he would be right back.”

I took a hard swallow, then reached for her hand. “Naw, your daddy ain’t with me. I’ma take you home in a little bit though. I need to go inside and holla at your uncle Theo for a few minutes. Is he in there?”

Brianna nodded. I gave her a piece of gum that was in my pocket and told her to finish playing with her friends. With Brianna around, I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle Theo. But he was the one who had spilled our secret and told Nate me and Alexis had been fucking.

The door was already open. I slowly walked inside, and there was Theo to my left, sitting on a raggedy-ass leather couch. The stench of marijuana was in the air, and for a nigga to consider himself a hustler, his crib looked like crap.
