CHAPTER TEN

Most of the riders going into Manhattan were already up. But they wasn’t what all the buzz was about this morning. Ed and Kevin were going at it. Kevin also had a notion to see Kalene. He wanted to talk to her about the feelings Jamal had for her. He knocked on the door and Ed answered. In his shorts.

And, that’s really what triggered him. Ed asked why they went to the hospital that evening anyway. He knew he was wrong telling him he should have waited; saying that’s what he would have done, but it was done. Kevin mentioned that if he knew he was fucking Kalene, he still would have went. Ed said that he wouldn’t have, so Kevin punched him in the mouth, and Ed deserved that.

They wrestled around some on the ground until Kalene stormed out and came in between then, stopping them, but not the mean mugging. Kevin told her about Jamal, and she stormed back into her apartment and slammed the door behind her. Ed knocked hard, asking her if she was okay. She opened it some and handed him his clothes and said, “Please, go. This was a mistake.”

“Mistake? No!”

“Ed! Please go. I’ll see you in a few. I’ll be ready for the bus ride.”

“So, that’s it?” Ed said as he stood there with his clothes in his hand.

“This was a mistake Ed. A big mistake.” She looked over his shoulder at Kevin who was standing there and said, “Both of you... just leave.” Then, he shut the door.

Ed stood there for a minute, then turned and looked at Kevin smugly and said to him, “You got what you wanted!” and brushed past him.

Kevin said, “Naw. You got it fucked up. What I want is my homeboy back.” He looked at Ed going into the staircase and shouted, “Should have been you… and not him!”

Kalene opened the door slightly. She wanted to say something to Kevin but, instead, he just turned, looked at her, and said under his breath, “Fuck... ain’t no need to talk about it now. Enough has been said already and my boy still dead.” He walked off.

Everything was set in motion. Everyone involved in the move was up and ready to go. The bus had been fueled with the last bit that was left. The only thing needed to do now was load.

After the bus was loaded and everything mapped out, Ed, Curtis and the bus driver, Al, were ready to go. As soon as they got packed up, Kevin ran up to the bus.

“I want to go on this trip. I’m ready to go.”

Ed looked at him strangely and asked, “Why? I thought you were staying here. Why do you want to leave now?”

“I mean, why not?” He looked at them and said, “Why should I stay? Jamal is dead. I mean, this ain’t my hood, so I might as well move on. That’s enough for me.”

Kalene said, “I thought you wanted to help these people.”

“People? You stay and help them.
