“Okay, check it. I’m Diamond but I’m not who you think I am. I know that sounds fucked up but it’s real shit.”
“What the fuck does that have to do with my man’s shit?” The man said as his cell phone buzzed in his pocket.
He wanted to ignore it but it began to buzz abundantly. His large hand removed it from his back pocket answering it.
“Yeah.”
“Yo’. We got the merch.” Shug said.
“One.” The man replied hanging up the phone. “So we got our shit. I guess this is goodbye.”
“WAIT! You got the wrong bitch. Please!” Diamond said putting her hands up. "I know who killed Sun!"
Diamond closed her eyes preparing for the bullet to crack through her skull. All that could be heard in the room was dead silence. So dead, in fact, that she believed she was just that. She squinted one eye open, hawking around the room peeping to see what he was doing. The man dropped the weapon to his side.
"I’m listening." He spat.
"Okay. This may be hard for you to believe but...I have a twin. Her name is Pandora and she is this one who killed him." Diamond spat quickly.
The man looked at her side eyed before raising his gun back up to her face. “Is this some kind of joke?”
“NO! Please! It’s no joke. I have a twin a she is the bitch behind all of this. She just left here not too long ago and she’s trying to frame me so she can get off scott free with her boyfriend.” Diamond caught her breath from nervousness. “In fact I think I know where she’s headed.”
He didn’t know if he should believe anything she was saying but he was intrigued to know if she was telling the truth about having a twin. It really didn’t matter to him either way. They both had to die in his eyes; he didn’t have time for snitches or setups. The man scratched his head wondering what he should do knowing Tino wouldn’t want any stray enemies out there. He slapped his gun behind his back and grabbed Diamond by the arm escorting her to the door.
“If you lying, you’re fucking dead on the spot.” He spat furiously.
He had already had it in the back of his mind to kill them both on the spot anyway but he remained cool so he could at least get to the other one, killing two birds with one stone. Diamond had a feeling she was dead on the spot one way or the other. She had to think fast because if she got in the car with him she was surely dead. She yanked her arm back as quickly as possible but tried to remain friendly to keep him cool, calm, and collected.
“Wait. If she sees you she’ll know something is up and try to run. The only way to get her is to follow behind my car so she doesn’t see you. Then you can sneak up on her and do what you need to do as far as I’m concerned.” Diamond said.
“Don’t try anything stupid or that’s your ass.” The man watched as she walked to her vehicle parked out front and jumped in his.
He never took his eye off of her; he knew if he lost her it would be his ass on the line. Diamond pulled out slowly keeping a side eye on him through the rear view mirror. She pulled out her cell phone dialing sluggishly on the keypad as not to alarm her voyeur of her actions.
“Yeah, I got some information that you might be interested in.” Diamond spat as she revealed her destination. “Meet me there in thirty minutes and you’ll have your man.”
Diamond smiled to herself checking her mirror making sure he was still back there. She fixed her hair glancing slightly back and forth in the mirror. It needed to be on point for the gathering they were on their way to. She couldn’t let her old flame and her ex-sister see her looking a mess. The only thing she was missing was dark red lipstick to complete her devilish look. That bitch has got another thing coming if she thinks I’m going quietly into the night. Diamond thought.
Chapter 20- You’re Done
Pandora hopped out the car not even thinking to survey the damage she just caused to her rental. She walked up to the car to see what bitch this nigga had in his car. Her fists pounded like rolling thunder on the trunk then the windows as she walked to the side of the car peeking inside. The windows were slightly fogged by the activity inside but it was still visible enough to see bodies meshing together.
“Come out of there you son of a bitch! This how you gon’ do me?” Pandora spat watching Kojack pull his pants up back around his waist.
He pulled his .45 out from under his seat then exited the car ready to blow her head off. Kojack walked up to her posted nose to nose with his lips and eyes curled over angrily. The stench of Lexi’s pussy eroded from his breath as he huffed and puffed in her face. His intimidation was enough to stop a pit bull but she stood her ground unafraid of his testosterone show.
“Nigga you could miss me with that shit. Who the fuck you got up in there?” Pandora snapped.
“Bitch is you crazy? You fucked up my shit!” Kojack retorted waving his gun around wildly.
“Who is she, Kojack? Huh? Who the fuck is she?” Pandora yelled fighting to get past him to get to the car.
Lexi dressed slowly then exited the car not amused by Pandora’s little act. She massaged her neck briefly before slamming the door and joining Kojack in the altercation. She muffed the shit out of Pandora before he broke them up holding his arms out to keep them apart.
“I should slap the dog shit out of you!” Lexi spat moving as slick as a ninja trying to get through Kojack to get to her.
“So what bitch! You always trying to get what I got. You just a fucking leach!” Pandora snapped back.
“Pandora, we through man! We been done. Get that shit through your fucking head.” Kojack snapped grabbing Lexi by her waist pulling her back lovingly.
“So now you with this bitch?” Pandora said reaching over him to slap Lexi.
Lexi reached grabbing a fist full of Pandora’s hair pulling her head down and beating her in the face. She was elated at finally having the upper hand, elated to finally let her know who was boss. She beat her on top of her head keeping her grip nice and tight hoping to yank a huge chunk of hair out of her head. Kojack hawked at Lexi something evil like.
“Babe, let her punk ass go. You got her, babe. Now just let her weak ass go.” Lexi focused in on his charismatic persona and felt compelled to listen to him.
She released Pandora who jerked back fixing her hair and checking to see if she had many bruises and scratches. Pandora walked back to the car looking for something she could use to inflict pain upon the both of them simultaneously. She rummaged through the trunk finding a small crowbar under the spare tire gripping it tightly in her hands.
“Yippie ka-ye, motherfucka!” Pandora screamed as she climbed on top of Kojack’s car smashing out the windows one by one.
He didn’t even care about that shit anymore. She was the one looking like the fool. He had want he wanted, Lexi. They shook their heads at her stupidity then he placed his finger gently on Lexi’s chin moving her lips up to his as he kissed her passionately revealing tongue to prove it was intimate. Pandora completely lost her mind, jumping off the car with the crowbar in the air headed towards them, screaming in disbelief. Kojack raised his gun back up to her face allowing her to stare down its long dark barrel.
“Don’t trip. You done.” He said speaking through his teeth.
“She’s a fucking child, Kojack. That makes you a child molester.” Pandora spat.
“I’ll be seventeen soon and he ain’t even thinking about that. This pussy got him gone bitch. Something you could never do.” Lexi spat rolling her eyes.
“Oh yeah? You wasn’t complaining about my pussy when you was all up in it.” Pandora wailed back.
“Who said it was good? It might have tasted good but bitch you ain’t shit but dead weight. I got your man and he craves the shit out of this. Deal with that.” Lexi retorted.
Pandora boiled over. She didn’t know what to do looking back at Kojack wondering if there were any signs of love still left inside of him for her. The magic they shared seemed to have dissipated in no time. Her heart plummeted to the bottom of her feet se
eing him hold her affectionately the way he was.
“Kojack, what happened to us baby? We had so much more than just fucking. We had it all and now you gonna throw us away for this?” Pandora spat pointing to her sister, frowning.
Kojack didn’t bat an eye at her interrogations even with her conjuring up some tears for a sympathy display. Her shoulders became weak as she held her arms up trying to get him to put the gun down and hug her. He didn’t move. In fact he squeezed Lexi’s waist even tighter pulling her close to him. She had casted a spell on him so powerful he was willing to kill Pandora rather than give it up. He would protect her at all cost.
“But Kojack, I love you. You were my first—“
“Oh shut the fuck up, Pandora. You’re so pathetic! If you wanna get technical bitch I was your first.” Lexi spat smacking her lips.
The bright lights of two cars sprayed across their faces causing them to shield themselves with their hands trying to see who was coming up on them. They parked directly behind the accident and exited their cars one right behind the other. Diamond walked at a faster pace trying to get to Lexi before the man caught up with her. She was too late. He had grabbed her arm just as she was nearing them pulling her back to his side.
“Oh so you do have a twin, huh? I guess you weren’t lying.” The man spoke tugging on Diamond’s arm.
She displayed a disgruntled look on her face trying to tug away but it was no use against the six-foot over two hundred pound man. Pandora gasped noticing that he was the same figure from the parking garage except now she was able to put a face to the silhouette. This was one of those time she wished she had her piece still. Kojack lowered his gun but kept it right by his side.
“You’re the bitch that cut Sun up like that and stole his work, huh?” The man spat at Pandora smiling.
“I…no it was her! She’s Diamond. She’s the one you’ve been looking for.” Pandora snapped pointing to her twin.
“Bitch, I was in the car. You fucked that nigga up, not me.” Diamond spat. “Just tell the truth now. You burnt up.”
“What?” Kojack exclaimed in disbelief. “It was y’all?”
“Mmhmm.” Lexi said curling up her lips then covering her mouth realizing what she had just done.
“Damn, you was there too?” Kojack asked turning to Lexi pushing her away.
“Kojack, I didn’t do shit. I left. I told her to come on and she told me to go on. So I did. I didn’t know what she was going to do to him. Neither of us did.” Lexi said pleading her case.
Kojack stepped back shaking his head wondering what the hell he had gotten himself into fucking with these bitches. The man released Diamond’s arm chuckling. Everyone looked bewildered at his laughter as Diamond moved from his reach moving around behind Lexi. It was over the jig was up but Pandora was not about to let this nigga shoot her right there at dawn. She refused to go out like that determining that if she were going out it would be with a bang. Pandora looked at everyone’s position around the wreck then turned to haul ass back around her car. Just as she reached the site of the wreck the man cocked his gun aiming it dead for her.
“I wouldn’t do that just yet.” The man yelled after her.
Pandora stopped dead in her tracks backing up slowly hoping she wouldn’t turn around to a bullet in her face. Kojack stepped back shielding the ladies behind him. He didn’t know what was going down but he prepared, taking his piece off of safety, realizing shit was about to get real. The man glanced over at Kojack raising one eyebrow giving him the ‘nigga I wish you would’ eye.
“Alright let’s all be cool here.” The man said reaching around to his back pocket.
He pulled out his cell phone punching it one time as if he had whomever he needed to call on speed dial.
“Yeah, this is Officer Jacobs. I got ‘em.” He spat.
Sirens could be heard from around the corner as cop cars, marked and unmarked, jumped out of nowhere. There was even a paddy wagon that pulled up along the sidewalk all crazy like. Men and women in small bullet proof vests, white tees and jeans hopped out radioing in on the walkie talkies strapped to their chests and talking amongst each other. Some were even high fiving each other on a bust well done with no casualties.
“What the hell is this?” Pandora asked confusingly.
“This is you, under arrest for the brutal murder of Sun Andrews and the distribution of narcotics.” Officer Jacobs spat handcuffing Pandora.
“Wait me? What about them?” Pandora shrugged.
The officers glanced over at Kojack still holding his gun but attempting to conceal it. They put their hands on their sides securing their guns just in case he tried any funny business. Kojack slowly got down on his knees knowing the routine from years of watching his boys go through it. He dropped the gun without them even needing to ask then placed his hands on his head interlocking his fingers and rolling his eyes. Lexi was nervous about her lover going to jail on gun possession and began to cringe at the very thought. She needed that dick like she needed water and wasn’t prepared to be without it just yet.
“Ay yo’. I gots a license for that in my back pocket.” Kojack spat as they detained him searching for evidence of that.
A lady cop took his gun and placed it on the hood of her car while her colleagues continued their investigation. Everything checked out with Kojack as they helped him to his feet returning his wallet and his gun back him. Unable to do anything with Kojack the officers focused their attention on Diamond and Lexi asking their Sergeant for a signal to arrest them as well. The dark skinned, bald headed, and buff Sergeant walked up staring back at the cop placing Pandora in his car then over at Diamond and Lexi.
“Diamond Burden.” He said walking up to him lowering his head.
“Why, hello Sergeant Sutters. How are the kids?” She replied in a low seductive voice.
Lexi looked at the two of their faces already knowing what the business was. She knew her sister was a ho but she never knew to what extent. All the business Diamond handled when she got money was strictly her plan and no one else’s. Even though Lexi ran with her she never let her in on any of her sexual activities. Those she would have to have gotten on her own.
“They’re fine.” He replied clearing his throat, in a low voice. “This is why you called me? I can’t do anything about this girl.”
“Really? Oh gosh, that would be a shame since Mrs. Sutters doesn’t know anything about Hilton. Oh and I think this story is going to make national news. Isn’t it?” She retorted in a babyish voice sucking on her index finger.
He stared down into her devilish puppy dog eyes and knew she wasn’t lying about exploiting their love affair. He couldn’t afford to let something like that get out especially at the height of his career and especially not since she was fifteen years old at the time of their escapades. Sergeant Sutters folded his buff arms leaning back in a strong firm stance staring down at the short girl wondering if he should call her bluff or not. He scratched his chin, tapping his feet back and forth between each other.
“If your name comes up later in the game that’s on you. Alright? But for now just get the fuck outta here. Gone.” He said as he walked away pretending as if he had never spoken to them.
Diamond laughed feverishly as she hawked Pandora down. She was heated watching them walk away with Kojack. Pandora banged her head repeatedly on the car window pissed at the sight.
“What the fuck? You think you slick you ugly ass tramp? She’s a tramp that’s why she gets her way! Tramps always get their way! I wouldn’t open my legs for every Tom, Dick, and Harry that’s why I don’t get what I want! Don’t worry bitch, I’ll be out of here in no time and as soon as I post bail bitch, you’re dead! You hear me? Dead!”
Diamond and Lexi looked at each other as the officers drove off. The paddy wagon had two men in the back of it and they were peeking their heads out of the holes in the back doors trying to get a glimpse of them. It didn’t worry Diamond about their significance because whoever they were,
they were gone now. Pandora’s words rang through Lexi’s ears like church bells.
“Diamond, you know we gone have to waste that bitch right?” She spat walking up to Kojack sliding her small arm around his waist.
“Why you say that lil’ sis?”
“Cause she’s gonna post bail and she’s gonna come looking for us.” Lexi replied.
“Will she, Lex? Will she?”
Chapter 21- Silly Rabbit
The thick paned sliding glass doors shut like dungeon doors behind Pandora. They booked her and threw her in lockup so quick it made her head spin. She looked around at the filthy room filled with metal bleacher seats and scratched up concrete floors. There was a brick wall on the side of a small dingy toilet in the corner and it looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in centuries and an old beat up pay phone hung on the wall adjacent from it. It was early morning so there were only a few women in the holding cell at that time. She checked out a few areas evaluating a clean place to take a seat as she wondered when the state’s attorney would begin releasing bails.
Pandora glanced over at the older black woman sitting a few seats down from her, the young black girl posted directly across from her but she was sleeping under the seat instead of on top of it, and a pregnant middle aged frail white crack head going through withdrawals all the way on the other side of the room. Pandora held her head high, confident that she would be getting out soon. There was no way she was spending a night in that rat infested piss hole.
“Well, what you in for?” The pregnant crack head asked shivering as if it was brick ass in there.
“Who you talking to?” Pandora snapped sucking her teeth.
“Oh, I see we got a feisty one here.” The crack head spat laughing. “Well, the old lady beat up a cop for trying to check her insurance. That girl there is waiting on her daddy to come and get her cause she was drinking under aged and I’m a pregnant prostitute dope fiend. So, what the fuck is your story?”
