Chapter 16

For the first time since Jessica had gotten out of prison, all was going so well for her. She and Kenny began dating and seeing each other on a regular basis and began rekindling the magic that they once had. Jessica told Kenny some of the things that happened since they departed, including about Officer Clooney and Officer Landry, and bits and pieces on how they had to handle the Mama situation. Kenny never flinched as she told him. He said he would have probably done the same thing if his life was on the line. Things couldn’t have been better until one day, thing began to suddenly fall apart.

It was a bright and sunny afternoon when Jessica and her mother were on their way to the supermarket to do some weekly shopping. Since Jessica received the money from Vonda and was working at the bar, she was contributing to the household bills with her mother. As soon as they were about to enter the supermarket, she heard someone behind them call Jessica’s name.

“Jessica Jones.”

They turned and saw three grim looking men behind them, one smiling and two with frowns on their faces.

Suspicious, Jessica answered, “I don’t think I know you.”

The short one, the one who was smiling said, “Well, we know you.”

Jessica saw where this was going and decided not to get into jail mode since her mother was present. “Listen, me and my mother are busy right now. I have to talk to you another time.” She grabbed her mother by the hand to escort her into the supermarket.

“It’s about your brother, Jordan.”

Jessica stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. She turned to her mother and said, “Mama, go inside. I’ll catch up with you in a minute.”

Ms. Jones shook her head and said, “No, Jessica, you don’t know these people. You don’t know what this is about.”

“Ma, I’m just going to see what they want with Jordan. I’ll be only a minute. Go ahead inside. I’ll only be a minute, I promise you.”

Ms. Jones looked at the men and then back to her daughter and walked slowly into the supermarket looking behind her all the while.

When she was sure her mother was inside, Jessica looked at the men and approached them with her arms folded. Standing in front of them now, Jessica asked, “So where you know me from?”

The shorter man jokingly said, “I don’t know, was it the papers or was it the news? I forget.”

Jessica was unmoved. She shifted her weight from one leg to the other. “So, what do you want to talk to me about?”

The man stepped closer and said, “Like I said, I want to talk to you about your brother, Jordan.”

Jessica was growing irritated and growled, “Well talk!”

The man was much shorter then Jessica, but his large afro made him look taller. He wore big, thick jewelry around his neck and over-sized rings on his fingers. He looked like a typical Harlem drug dealer, Jessica thought.

“No need to get hostile, baby.
