Chapter 13

Trina entered the crowded airport with Chase by her side. She was still a minor, seventeen, so she couldn’t travel alone, and honestly, she didn’t want to. Having Chase by her side made her less nervous. This wasn’t fun and games anymore. She wasn’t just hanging out on the block, getting money anymore. She was risking her life. YaYa was paying all of the girls $5,000 per trip, but Trina was getting fifteen racks just because she was a part of the team. With two trips per month, she knew that she would be getting money; she just had to get used to the flow of things and make sure that she could handle the pressure. She had a lot riding on this. Chase had all but given up on their drug-addicted mother, but Trina had hopes of making enough money to get her out of Houston and clean her up in a new environment.

“Relax, T. Don’t let your thoughts psych you out,” he said. “This is the easy part. We’re not doing anything hot on the way there, so just chill out and enjoy the free trip to Italy. It’s the trip back that is the challenge.”

They checked in, and Trina looked around. She immediately noticed that YaYa had several other mules on her flight. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said a quick prayer. She knew that she was asking God to ignore her sin and that it was pointless, but she did so anyway.

The uneventful trip to their destination was boring and long, but when they arrived in Italy it was show time. They made their way out of the airport and hailed the first cab they saw sitting curbside.

“You know you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, Trina,” Chase said. “You’re my baby sister. You’re going to eat regardless.”

“And what about Mommy?” she asked. “Because it seems like you’ve washed your hands of her.”

Chase opened the door for his sister and motioned for her to get inside. She did, and he walked around the back of the cab then entered from the other side. He was silent as he looked out of the window.

“Don’t avoid the question, Chase. What about Mama?” Trina asked. “She’s addicted to the shit that we’re selling.”

Chase shot Trina a sharp look and then nodded his head toward the driver. “Not the time or the place,” he said.

“It’s never the time or the place,” Trina replied as she folded her arms in disappointment and looked out the window. “I miss her, Chase. I know she’s fucked up and she’s strung out and she’s done some selfish shit. She’s neglected us, beat us, and everything else under the sun, but she’s our mother. She’s the only one that we have, and she needs us.”

“I’ve been there, Trina. I’ve tried to help Mama countless times and it’s gotten me nowhere. Every time I would pull her off the block, she would just sneak right back. I was fighting niggas left and ride, creating enemies for myself just because niggas was serving her.
