Chapter Eleven

Akila

With my tank full, I jumped on 95 N, and it hit me that I was driving with no set place in mind. I haven’t been out of Virginia except when I went to DC with my school or the few times I went with Mari to New York. I know I have a great-aunt, Eileen, that lives in Baltimore. She used to visit my grandma, but I never really cared for the bitch. She was one of those kinds that think she was better than us ’cause she’s from up north, talking all proper and shit. I used to walk past that bitch like I didn’t even see her. I remember her telling my grandma that she needed to watch me ’cause my ass was fast. She has a daughter named Claire. She was cool. She used to visit my grandma during the holidays.

The last time I saw that side of the family was during my grandmother’s funeral. Claire’s about two years older than I, and even though we didn’t keep in touch much over the years, we were Facebook friends and would occasionally like each other’s statuses or pictures. I hate that I need to reach out, but she was the only person I could think of off the top of my head. It wasn’t like I had all this family I could call on. I didn’t plan on intruding on her life. Just need a place to crash for a few days until I gather my thoughts and figure out my next move.

Suddenly, I heard the sounds of a police siren behind me. Curiously, I looked in my rearview mirror and slowed down so they could get by since they seemed to be in a rush. I put my eyes back on the road before me, getting ready to pull off. Then I spotted a dark-colored SUV with tinted windows rush past me and swiftly cut me off.

“Yo, what the fuck you doing? You fucking idiot,” I yelled as I pressed down on the brake. My purse on the front seat flew onto the floor. The SUV stopped directly in front of me, and two dudes and a female in suits jumped out and dashed to my truck. What the fuck is going on, and who are these people? My mind started racing hard. I hurriedly put the car in reverse and glanced behind me, but I couldn’t move. I was blocked in from the back.

“God, please don’t let me die,” I started praying.

“Put the car in park and get out,” the bitch ran up to my window and yelled. She had a gun pointed at me.

“Who the fuck are you, and what do you want?” I yelled frantically.

“U.S. Marshals! Cut the vehicle off and get out,” she yelled at the top of her lungs.

Everything around me was moving so fast. My hands trembled as I put the car into park and then pressed the button, cutting it off. What the fuck was really going on? What the fuck did they want with me? I need some kind of answers.
