I was still working on finding out who’d taken the job before I capped his ass. I was still deciding whether or not I was gonna end Felix or let him live for her.
By rights the fuck should be dead by now, but you can’t blame a man for trying to protect his kid.
“I’ll send Chase to get you and I’ll meet you there later okay.”
“What’s wrong with Andre?” I didn’t answer her because what the fuck? I’m tired telling her about minding my damn business. She sucked her teeth and hung up in my ear.
“You have to go get my nutter at lunchtime, she wants to go to the Garden. Andre has somewhere that he has to be.”
He grumbled some shit under his breath but I wasn’t paying him any attention either. He can’t figure out how to deal with her ass that’s on him.
Meanwhile the two of them war like siblings, especially when she bullies him into playing that Wii shit and she cheats.
I got lost in my work and was barely aware of him telling me he was going to get her. I had at least another hour before I had to be there so I tied up some loose ends before heading out.
I knew some fuck was wrong as soon as the car turned onto the street where the restaurant was. There were cops and ambulances and fire trucks.
I jumped out the back of the town car before it came to a stop and ran towards the doors where people were scattered all over the fucking place.
There was blood all over the fucking place and my trigger finger started to itch. I caught sight of Chase and started to breathe easy until I noticed she wasn’t with him.
“Where the fuck is my wife?”
“Boss I’m sorry, there’s been an incident.” He wouldn’t look at me; fuck me not today.
“What kind of incident?” I looked around for her as my heart fell into my fucking toes. “Where’s Anastasia, WHERE THE FUCK IS ANASTASIA?”
My feet were moving before I was aware of what I was doing.
“Draco stop, come on boss not here.” He looked around at all the cops and bystanders like I gave a fuck.
“You tell me where the fuck she is or I’ll kill every motherfucker standing.”
“Come I’ll take you to her.” My knees went weak at his words. My heart relaxed its pace and my breath came easy again.
“She’s alive?” I heard the plea in my voice and didn’t care if it showed a chink in my armor.
“She’s alive.” He started moving me towards the car as life went on around us.
“What the fuck happened to her and are the ones responsible dead?” Now that I knew she was safe it was on to phase two. Some fuck was gonna die.
“She was shot.”
“Come again?” I stopped short of climbing into the backseat.
“She’s okay Dray I promise. The shot came from one of the rooftops across the street as soon as we reached the door, so there’s no mistake it was a hit.
We weren’t quick enough to catch whoever did it, but the boys are gathering surveillance from around the neighborhood before the cops get to it.”
“Take me to her, you have men on her of course.”
“Goes without saying boss.”
“Fuck, I’m gonna hear about this shit for fucking ever. Where did the fucker get her?”
“The chest.” I flinched at the news but it was better than the head. “That’s good then, was she wearing her protection?”
“You know she was, you always put it on her yourself before you leave remember?”
“Yeah, but that shit still hurts like a son of a bitch and she’s gonna ride my ass like a bronco on the back of this shit. That alone is worth me breaking off at least three toes in somebody’s ass so when you find the prick he’s mine.”
I rushed into the house as soon as we pulled up, and up the stairs where she was holding court. Ma was there with my aunt Gina, more fucking drama, fuck my life.
“Ladies.” I had eyes only for her as I made my way to the bed. “My poor baby, you okay?” I pulled her into my arms and held her close as my eyes grew moist.
I could’ve lost her. That thought kept playing over and over in my head as I ran my hands up and down her back.
I whispered reassurances to her as she clung to me. “Let me see baby.” The doctor was still hovering in the corner no doubt under orders not to leave until I gave the all clear.
“Chase pushed me out of the way. It’s not that bad.” I turned to my boy who had followed me into the room. I knew for the next few days he’ll be on my ass like white on rice, jumpy fuck.
