“ Come by the window....”, he said through the phone, that means he's here already, he's just downstairs outside. I moved to my window side and saw his relaxing his whole body on the car door, his legs were crossed while standing and hands together, covering his mouth, probably lighting up a cigarette, he has already disconnected the call. Flinging his right arm so that the fire on the match stick could go off, he threw it away after what was left of it was what seem like a spark from here, he then grabbed the cigar with his finger, pulling it out of his mouth, exhaling the smoke through his mouth and nose before looking up again, saw me standing there watching. He shot me a smile which was probably fake before coughing a bit before returning the smile back to his feature.
Getting down through the window so that I won't signal Mr Drew or anyone concerning my sneaking out, he just relaxed there, enjoying his view.
“ I Really missed you boy....”, he brought out a stick, offering them to me. He would never give up on this, so this time, I collected it from him, bringing another brighter smile to his face.
“ Now you're beginning to turn into a man ”.
I entered his vehicle as we drove off, I know that I was doing something dangerous, something that possibly will arise doubts towards me, but I have to do whatever he wants if I want a chance of seeing my mom again.
“ It seems hard at first, but I just managed to sorth the situation out at last.... It was hard creating that scenario you know, making me to place someone as a victim for that case to be made a success.....”.
He just made someone else suffer demise just because he still finds me useful, how can I ever pin this guy down when he already knows everything, probably even know what I am thinking right now.
“ I know you might be wondering how we got the police to fabricate the story, yeah.... As you did know, some team are working with us and with their help, you're off the case.... So here's the thing now, we're going to their location for you to thank them for their hardwork towards your safety, and also to get introduced to them officially....”.
Oh God, he's taking me to the station or what?, What is he planning now?, He definitely does have something else in mind, I believe he wasn't a fan of the officers they're collaborating with, if not, he wouldn't have to hide the money we robbed from the bank from them.
I just have to be cautious and act smart, as far as I am here and going somewhere with him, it's definitely a mission or task he has to accomplish, yet he haven't shared the drill with me.
Getting there, it's a prostitution house, he isn't expecting me to go in here right?, I tried staying back, but he never had to force me, just dropping me a hint.
“ Try to be a good son boy, stop endangering your mother....”.
Just like that, I'm automatically walking in, heartbeat rising, watching the ladies in there shaking their bodies to the music playing, making few approaches to get men for themselves, few of them touching me as I walk pass. Jerry seems to be a known figure here, most of the girls were showing him much attention than the other men around. We continue walking until we get to a part that looks like it's covered with a curtain, strippers were dancing on different poles in the house and I can't seem to really get my eyes off the almost naked ladies.
“ Hello.... This here is the masterpiece I always wanted to introduce to you guys, he's our diamond in the rough and I'm his personal mentor....”.
Jerry was introducing me to the police men there, you definitely won't tell that they're, if not that Jerry already told me, they were all wearing a smile on their faces, pairs of eyes watching me, all of them sitting with a girl or two.
“ That's great to hear that this is him in person, the boy we just saved his a**, heard you've been visiting the mental health center for a long period of time now, makes you a gem to our great task, it's really a pleasure meeting you....”.
One of the officers spoke, sounding like it was really a pleasure meeting me. All the girls with them were clingy, Jerry light up a match, looking towards me. Mere seeing his move, I realized that this is it, he's about to carry out what he's here for.
He placed the lighted match before me, making me bring out the cigarette, looking at him, trying to read what exactly he was planning, but his face was blank, I couldn't read beyond the mask he was putting on.
I haven't smoked for a long time now, the last time I did was years ago when one of the gang members I run errands for taught me how to smoke them then. I had to pretend to be good at this, so the policemen won't see me as a novice.
A bottle of alcohol fell down from the table in the middle, breaking on the floor, I was just shocked of what had happened, but the mastermind was already at work, and I noticed it immediately he pushed my hand which I used in holding the cigarette, it fell down, and immediately, there was fire.
Everyone began to shout, especially the girls, trying to run away for there safety, fire caught my pants and I was trying to stamp them off when a hand grabbed my collar.
“ We're done here, let's get on the move....”.
