Chapter 170: Setting paces!

Setting paces!

****

  "What is it you wanna talk about that can't wait!" Father asked

  "Nessa!" I snapped "I bet y'all saw the latest trends about Gia and I!"

  "Yeah, she's playing with fire!" Mother jabbered.

  "A'ight! I just wanted to say goodbye, i hope we get the info we're seeking regardless!" I said

  "Sweet boy!" Mother rubbed my face "We are here to get through it with you, A'ight?!" Then i smiled

  "That's right! Take care bug guy, stay low! Call us up if you feel some type of way. We'd be back tomorrow though!" He patted me in the shoulder, I watched check into the jet.

He was tied to a metallic chair with a tape pasted across his lips, he was beaten almost to death. BJ said that David admitted to have known Vanessa but defiantly refused to say a words about her. I came in with the mask I had been using around him, I motioned for the tape to be taken off, he was shocked.

  "Kings..." He called out, I smirked then I took off the mask as his eyes widened even more in chaos and shock. I took off  the  "Jordan?" I bet he was dumbfounded.

  "That's right! Are you shocked?"  I asked sarcastically then I dragged a seat, I sat in from of him with a steady smirk

  "I should have known that you was a snitch!" He blurted out in distaste

  "A snitch? You should be excited that I came at you in cold blood. I don't usually do this, be happy David."

  "What do you want from me?" He asked grunting

  "What I want? Didn't my boys hint you?" I snapped "ok! I want nothing but the truth, once you tell me about it then you're a free man. Believe me, you'd prefer prison than this place...do yourself some good!" I said

  "I know nothing! You know me, I know nothing at all!" He tried to coach

  "Do you...in any way wanna out alive?". Jerked him by the throat as he grunted in pain "Do some good today amongst your bad days!" I warned

  "What are you talking about?..." He asked and I didn't let him finish his statement, I threw a slap on his face very hard. His face turned to the other side in accordance, he was infuriated yet helpless.

  "What is Nessa hiding?"

  "I won't fuckin tell you...not a word..."

  "You won't huh?" I smirked then beckoned at one of the men standing as he handed me dagger, I stared at it in content as well as his eyes staring into the glistening blade. "You still won't huh?"

  "No!!!" He screamed as I came forth with the dagger, chopping out his pinky finger, he screamed out his life. I wasn't moved, I chopped out the ring finger, his screams doubled the first, I repeated the same process on his middle finger; this tripled his screams.  "Please Jordan, don't do this..." He screamed but I remained silent although. I danced the dagger around his throat finally, his eyes almost gauged out in fear. "She's got your WIFE and SONS!!!" He finally let out. I refrained, it felt like a dream even if I had a hunch, my instincts were more than accurate.

  "As easy as that!" I snapped sternly

  "Now that you've known, just let me go already!" He blurted out, get was shivering and burning down in anxiety, in fear of his life. I turned to BJ as I collected the gun he was holding and point at him.

  "Get up and run for your life if you can, make it out now before I change my mind!" I said but that was not from my heart anyway, my intents were different.

He was untied as he attempted to run just as I instructed then I shot at his left leg then he fell to the ground, I shit at the other leg, all he could do was scream in pain and anguish, I went closer again.

  "You should've said something much more earlier, while I was cold but you can't have me work on you and not pay my dues David! Im going to end y'all bad people Miami's got."I shot at his head and there and then, he gave up his ghost. Dead. BJ approached with David's phone I presume.

  "You might wanna see this?" He handed the cell to me, the caller was saved as VT, my mind flew right at Vanessa Tinkers. After a few seconds of silence, a text popped up.

   *Did you clear them?*

        *We've got to meet tomorrow at 8pm*

I replied back as sense texted back

     *JK will be back soon so end them!*

           *Lets meet at 8pm. Final!*

       *Fine!*

I was certain that Vanessa was texting to know what the progress was.

  "Pack up, feed the woods!" I instructed

  "Yes boss!" They all answered in unison as I grabbed a hand towel to wipe off (as well rinsing my hands) the blood stenches on my hands as a result from earlier.

David's keys to the store was now in my possession but I also suspected that Vanessa as well own the same type of key which would be a problem.

Jeff and Lamar were waiting at the hotel we frequented, while making my way towards them, my phone rang. Nessa.

  "Really Jordan, not even a call or text? Do you hate me this much?" Message began

  "C'mon Nessa, I've been clouded in shit...meeting is about to start so I'll call you much later so that we could talk. Is that ok?"

  "I can now see that you really hate me Jordan, that's not fair. You know that I'm in love with you..."

  "Nessa. Its you I love A'ight, just don't think crazy. I'm really busy right now, as soon as I'm done with the meeting I'll give you a call." I explained forcefully

  "Do I have a choice? I love you ok, take care!"

  "Love you too, Nessa!" I hung up

My friends had ordered some desserts, we shook and hugged as i reached for a seat and sat. They ordered mine already so I pounced on it.

  "2 hours 30 minutes late Kareem, what's up with you?" Lamar began

  "Oh sorry, I had to handle some business out there...you know, fixing shit here and there!" I said

  "That's crazy, you may wanna explain in details..." Jeff stated as my brows furrowed "Yes! At first you hide your relationship with Nessa, we found out then it turned into some conspiracy shit...family got missing then some threat circulation? There's a hundred and one things that's really wrong in your life. So could you start explaining what the hell is this all about?" Jeff asked

  "For real, what on earth is going on? Don't you think we can help, maybe if not totally then somehow?" Lamar asked. Their eyes were fixed on me then I stopped eating to give an answer, this was not sarcastic; they meant it.

  "A'ight! This looks like a gang up, so what exactly do y'all wanna know about?" I asked

  "Nessa!" They answered in unison, everybody's got Nessa on mind and that's a bad sign to me.

  "Nessa is my mysterious girlfriend..." I began as Lamar interrupted sarcastically

  "Which we know!"

  "Could you stop trying to be annoying right now...just hear me out." I said as he cringed "Thank you! Nessa took my wife and sons," I blurted

  "That's bullshit! There's no way Nessa could taken Gia and your sons. I mean, Gia left you except that you have been telling fake story all along!" Jeff countered

  "Did you even let me finish talking?"

  "But what you're saying is unbelievable, everyone would think the way I'm thinking, right Lamar?" Jeff asked

  "Yeah!" Lamar snapped

  "Of course, you'd say yes." I snapped "Ok! Here's the deal. Its true that Gianna left voluntarily but Nessa must have abducted her on the way to wherever she was headed." I explained

  "In as much as I'd love to accept this but it's still not articulable, you feel me?" Jeff said

  "I know! I was thinking the same thing at first not until I got someone to investigate about Nessa. She's got this store she's been frequently mostly at night--- midnight. She returns to her apartment with this brown shopping bag after every visit. I got to meet the store owner and got a bit fond over night, his impression attested to my hunches."

  "Are you trying to say that there could be something or someone hidden in that store?" Lamar asked

  "Exactly!" I snapped confidently "Just last night, she slid out of bed and she drove to the store again. I followed her inch by inch and that same store guy was waiting patiently. When she returned home, I asked her about where she's been and she said that, she was for shopping. Inside the brown; there were feminine clothes, plots and scissors." I stopped, they had this doubtful looks on them. They still don't believe me. "You still don't believe or you don't understand?"

They both forced a smile on their lips

  "Its just so ridiculous!" Jeff said

  "That's right! Such things happen in movies...its fictitious thing, its just so hard to believe. Besides, where's the store guy, is he still available? We could get his ass..." Lamar said

  "I already took care of that! He's off the earth!" I said

  "Don't tell me you used those black suit guys to lead him to hell?" Jeff asked with a half smile

  "I took the shots myself. He confessed in the very end, he said 'She's got your wife and sons'! That's a hella proof that Nessa took Gia. So do you believe me now?" I asked again

  "Obviously, we do! But how come he never told Nessa about you since they took your wife? I bet you were asking too much." Jeff asked

  "I had a mask made for me! That's it!"

They looked impressed.

  "I didn't know Kareem was this smart to handle criminals...that's new." Lamar teased as we laughed for some seconds.

  "I'm a little curious about this Nessa girl, could there be a reason why she's after you...going to that extent on abducting your family? Its really hard to put these together!" Jeff stated

  "This is built on jealousy, nothing else!" Lamar snapped outrightly

  "Yeah and that's where the problem lies. Her father and my grandfather had this old beef from way back, my father is involved. He was kidnapped and then the next thing the journals talked about was Vinny's mysterious death. That's how it all began and she's probably used as a revenge scheme." I explained

  "This is crazy! I've never imagined you to go through all of this, very unfortunate man! Its a lot to handle and you defiantly kept everything to yourself, that's not nice!" Lamar stated

  "I just didn't want any self pity and  I wanted to figure it all out myself!"

  "You don't realize that you need us, do you?" Jeff blurted

  "I may need..."

  "You may? You would, call us up at any time of the day just in case we need to chase the villain! Jeff said teasingly but I knew that they had given me their support.

  "That's not a problem! Thanks buds!"

  "Have you told Yeesha?" Jeff asked

  "Of course not, what Nessa tries to take her in again? I didn't...so you shouldn't."

  "But she's got to know..."

  "Only if you tell her! Can you throw those feelings out the window, you're married now." I reminded. Jeff would tell anything to Yeesha because of the love has for her, he's always vulnerable and gullible around her, since he can't get over his childhood crush.

  "C'mon Jordan, that's harsh! Jeff's better than us, you know that!" Lamar added

  "And so? I'm actually a changed person you probably the only one in the old behavior!" I blurted as they both laughed at mockingly

  "What's that for??" I asked a little bit uncomfortable

  "Then why are you rolling with Nessa?"

  "I'm not rolling with her, we're just..." I tried to defend myself

  "Then what's going on between you two? Kiss me I kiss you?" Jeff teased

  "Like you've been doing with Zoe from way back..." I teased back

  "At least we ended up together, are you ending up together?" He asked teasingly but that was a serious question

  "Just catching feelings, you know I'd forever love Gianna, I'm going through all this shit for her, isn't that love?" I said

  "It could be pretentious sometimes. Scared of what people would say and do on!" Lamar fired back and I agreed with it

  "But its not. Y'all know that if I didn't love Gia then I would've bashed her! I love that woman so much, its one sincere thing about me!" I said heartily and they agreed as my eyes dug into my phone to reply my Secretary. Jeff tapped me on the shoulder abruptly staring at another direction

  "Gimme a minute!" I said trying to focus

  "Take a look at the worse thing!" Lamar added them I raised my head slowly looking in their direction.

Unbelievable! Everyday of my life these days got its on story to tell, Nessa, Tiana Garry were talking and laughing, it seem serious.

I couldn't believe it myself. How could I not suspect Garry or Tiana? I asked myself.

  "Tiana's out of prison?" Jeff asked, they were both confused like i was.

  "I just got to know. Just now. No way!" I turned away

  "Kareem? Are you sure you ain't going to run up on these trio with the black suit guys?!" Lamar suggested "This is rubbish, do you realize that they are playing with you in the worse ways?" Lamar said

  "You don't have to say it, they'd all pay for they're sins real soon!" I added, I took some pictures of them, I was certain that I'd use them in the nearest future!"

  "That sounds like good, to me!" Jeff added

My friends and I agreed on going to the store at night, they were strong men so it wouldn't be much of a problem. I texted BJ instantly.

       *Get these asses for me, same place!*

I texted attached the pictures of them as well then sent.

             *Yes boss!*

He texted back.

Aside from these three, I wanted to deal with Sullivan who's still not given up on writing negative things about Gianna. Now that the make believe videos and pictures were out in circulation, there would be diverse conclusions but I don't care about that either, everyone involved with Gia's department would pay with his or her life. Very dearly.
