“…once Memphis realized what was going on, she started helping me try to figure this shit out. I couldn’t kill you, but I also couldn’t tell The Agency that because all they’d do was reassign you to someone else who could kill you. So, I tried to rectify the situation, stalked you, and then moved in with you to keep watch over you, to protect you. I wanted you, yes, but I didn’t think you’d want me, too. I just got lucky,” Ray was saying. “We had to move here because I finally got word that you had been reassigned. I can keep you safer here than at your apartment until we figure out who put the price on your head and why. I got motion sensors, cameras inside and outside of the house, my property is fenced in, there’s a safe room, and all the windows shutter with the tap of a button. Steel shutters. This place can be a fortress if need be. It’s off the beaten path, no foot traffic. Ain’t nobody gon’ sneak up on us here.”

After he finished telling me about some damn Agency and how he’d been hired to kill me and an entire dictionary of other shit, I sat in silence for a while, my eyes fixed on the cold tile beneath my feet. It was so pretty, patterned in shades of peach and turquoise. I felt Ray’s and Memphis’s scrutiny, but I couldn’t look at them because this was the most farfetched and dumb shit I’d ever heard in all my forty-two years. He was an assassin?

“Shit, she’s lost it,” I heard Memphis mumble, which only made my laughter ramp up.

“I have lost it! I’ve lost all faith in humanity be-be-because my big sister is fucking my crazy-ass man! This nigga has bullied me at every turn, and he has the nerve to make up an elaborate lie to try and convince me y’all are not fucking? Like he actually cares about me?” I laughed.

“Lilith…Lilith!” Memphis bellowed, quickly sobering me up. “Calm down before that baby shoots up out of you or something. I am not fucking this fool!”

“Oh, but I’m supposed to believe he chose you to help him find out who paid to have me killed? What are you going to do, exfoliate the truth out of someone?” I countered. “You gonna chemical peel them into submission or something?”

“No, heffa, and I ain’t forgetting you called me a bitch over the phone.”

“Uh, you’re fucking my man. Or maybe I’m fucking yours. How long y’all been at it?”

Ray literally exploded. “Mannnnn! Fuck this! Memphis is the motherfucker who recruited me. She’s B329. That’s why I hate her! If she hadn’t pulled me into this shit, I wouldn’t be all messed up in the
