Finding Sweetness 3

by Lewis, Rika

  We’re actually meeting up with them right before we make the drop which has changed from tonight to next week. It explains so much now, the way he was acting… all the things he said and did. At one point, he was on drugs very heavy. Even I knew that and those were the times he… he was taken everything out on my mother and I. Getting up from the bed he went into the bathroom and ran some water on his face. Yaz was on his heels.

  Why does it feel like there’s more than just that?

  Because it is…My dad dropped another bomb on me and told me that I have a sister. My mother confirmed it. All this time Yaz they kept my sister from me. “Holy shit, oh my God!” Who is she? Where is she?

  “Closer than you think sweetness.” He turned to look at her. My father told me that… that your cousin Aspin is my sister. Yaz stood there in shock. All this time…Alton I talked about you a lot to Aspin, Azaria and Erica. Aspin knows everything…

  Ugh…great I have a sister that hates my ass and she’s the cousin of the woman I love. Shaking his head he said, my dad told me that was why he wanted me to stay away from you. He didn’t want Aspin and I running into each other.

  Well… I can tell you this Alton, Aspin and I are very close and we talked about meeting her biological parents often, she’s scared too. She’s scared to find out the reason why they gave her up. She had told me once that her real mother had reached out to her and wanted to see her but Aspin never acted on it. She’s terrified to hear the why’s of it all.

  Just then, Alton’s phone beeped he jerked it out of his pocket and looked down at the screen it was Eytin texting letting him know that he and Aspin were pulling up. Shit! “What is it Yaz asked?” Eytin and Aspin are here. ”What are you going to do?” Are you going to say anything to her? Not right now sweetness the times not right. Please don’t say anything to her about it right now okay? I won’t but eventually you’re going to have to talk to her Alton. I know sweetness he said pulling her into his chest. I just need a little bit more time...we all do. You already know what I have to do right?

  Yaz nodded her head.

  I want you and your girls, and my sister to go and stay further up in another cabin just a little ways up the trail in a few days. It’s hidden from view as well and stay put and don’t open the door for anyone there are two guns underneath each mattress in each bedroom. There’s one gun hidden up underneath the kitchen countertop anyone comes to that door that’s not us below their heads off. I’ll call you before we come back so that you’ll know were on our way and we’ll come through the back door not the front. My uncles will have eyes on you from their cabin across the way. Oh, there’s one more thing.

  Yaz was almost scared to hear it.

  Your dad and I have kept in contact over the years. In fact, I spoke to him earlier today; he’s going to help us. Alton cupped her face, “I’ve always known you were safe sweetness and that’s all that mattered to me.”

  “I know daddy told me when I spoke to him this afternoon.” I talked to him after you left she half smiled, so… “You called in the Calvary ha?”

  “Are you mad?” I’m sorry for lying to you sweetness and I promise I’m going to make it right… no more lies, no more running and no more living this sham of a life I’ve been living. I love you and you are mine, you always have been and will always be.

  I love you too Alton, I never stopped loving you. Alton pulled her to him and took her lips in a heated kiss just as the doorbell sounded. He pulled back a little then remembered the box in his jacket pocket. “Oh, here Alton said as he pulled a square box out of his pocket and handed it to her.”

  “What’s this?”

  A pregnancy test he said, wiggling his eyebrows and smiling.

  Alton would you stop… it’s too early to tell.

  He gently pulled her into his chest and kissed her hard again. It’s been three weeks already I need to know sweetness. I’ve came inside you too many times, I know you’re pregnant but it’s obvious it’s you who needs convincing. Are you having second thoughts about having my baby he teased? “No, I want your baby,” I’m just scared for all of us right now. I’m not going to let anything happen to you that’s on my life sweetness.

  Don’t say that Alton. I don’t like it when you say that!

  I know but I’m dead serious. He kissed her again then they walked downstairs to open the door for Eytin and the sister he never knew he had.

  At least they still had a few more days before it was time for them to leave out and he needed to go over everything to make sure the “fake drop” ran smooth. His boys were going to be shocked as shit when they hear his dad works for the ATF. Yaz tossed the pregnancy test on the bed before they went to the door. As they walked out of the bedroom, they never saw the figure glaring at them from outside their bedroom window.

  Durk

  In the back corner of Safe House Bar & Grill above his head, the voice of Marilyn Manson blasted from the speakers around the bar, but the myriad of voices drowned out the singer. Durk was on his third drink and feeling tight. Butch sat next to him looking over the Saturday night crowd as they waited on Ciao and Nate to bring the friend of the black bitch that snuck out of the compound. They needed some leverage and it seemed that Eytin and Alton had went off the grid.

  Glancing around Durk noticed Tia and her friends looking their way. He held his drink up at them acknowledging them for the info they gave them. That skank ass bitch was as sneaky as they were and he didn’t trust her as far as he could see her but damn if she could suck the hell out some cock. She’d given them some info that was worth checking out as well which lead them to what was about to do go down right now. He didn’t know how she came across it and he didn’t give a shit but what she told him confirmed that William was not who he claimed to be. A fucking snitch for cops and he aimed to take William and his son out in the process and if Channing, Gabe and Eytin got in his way then they would be popped as well. It was time for some new leadership and he and Butch would take Williams place after they killed them and got their ass out of the way.

  Taking a swig from his beer, he sat back. One thing about bars that sometimes annoyed him was that they were loud and filled with cigarette smoke and sometimes the smell of sex. The bar door swung open and in stepped Ciao. Durk raised his hand and motioned for Ciao as he walked in and looked around until he found Durk and Butch at a back table far in the corner of the bar.

  Dodging the stares of some he knew and some he didn’t, Ciao looked over the crowd, a mixture of men and women, Ciao’s sixth sense told him at least half the women were hookers or call girls looking for a good time with some guy willing to pick up the bar tab and a good fuck for a fee. He pushed through the crowd, a few women patting Ciao’s ass, while a few tried grabbing for his cock.

  “Sorry not tonight he grumbled.”

  “Oh come on Ciao, that’s not what you said two nights ago?”

  “I was drunk two nights ago but I’m sober now and my dicks off limits tonight bitch.” Now move the fuck out the way. The ditzy drunk girl stumbled as she stepped back slurring her apologies. Ciao shook his head, bitch just wanted to belong somewhere but he was not in the fucking mood today. Nate had fucked up and now he had to deliver the bad news but he in the mist of all that his contact had given him the location of where Alton was and that piece of information was going to save his ass especially because of what he’d just seen. Caio sat down and swallowed the lump that formed in his throat.

  Durk leaned up waiting for Ciao to speak. He’d bet his left nut that they’d fucked up.

  “Nate umm… Nate’s in jail.” Caio sputtered out.

  “What Durk said, beginning to lose his patience? This doesn’t look good for you boy Durk sneered.

  The black bitch actually kicked his ass then Lex stepped in and called the cops.

  That fucking attorney has just fucked with the wrong ones Butch spat.

  I followed them to the girl’s house that was with Eytin. They’re there now…and I also know wh
ere Alton is.

  Now that peaked Durk interest. Where is he?

  He’s hiding out in a cabin on his uncle’s ranch. I had to go in through the woods to get there because they’ve got a eyes watching the cabin.

  “Is his black whore with him Durk asked smoothly?”

  Ciao nodded his head then said, “And there’s more she may be pregnant.”

  “Oh really,” Good Durk said as he sloshed back the last of his beer. The shits getting thicker boys.

  Indeed, it is Butch grinned. Ciao give the rest of the brothers the directions to the cabin and for fuck sake don’t call Channing and Gabe they’re too close to William and I don’t want that motherfucker showing up until we have his son and his black whore. What about Eytin, was he there?

  Ciao nodded his head, they’re all there. He almost felt sorry for all of them…almost but thinking back to the way Eytin had slammed him against the wall made him want some fucking payback!

  Let’s go get there asses Butch spat! It’s time for some new leaders and some payback. Fuck William, his son, his guards and even your whore of a nephew! If he gets in the way, he’s good as fucking dead!

  You have my blessing to do so Durk grinned just as long as I become the head of the AB. Snapping his fingers he told Caio to call the boys on the force and tell them to block off all three ways out of the town and anyone who wants to leave will go through a car search first and make sure to tell them to search the damn trunks as well this time. I want Alton and his fucking bitch found!

  Lex & Kaseya

  By the time they made it to Aspin’s house, Kaseya’s nerves were frayed! Before she got out, she looked down at her shaking hands. Suddenly Lex was there opening up her car door for her and helped her out. Shit…get yourself together she said to thought to herself as they walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell…no answer. She dug out her keys found and found the one that went to Aspins house. She stuck the key in and opened the door. She was about to step when she felt Lex grip her arm and haul her back. Stay here and let me check it out first. Umm… that would be a hell no! I just met you! I know you don’t I would honestly let you roam my best friend’s house without me. We do this together or not at all. Okay but stay behind me. It didn’t take them long to discover that no one was home but it was obvious Aspin had slept in her bed. Upon further inspection, it looked like there was a pair of men’s shorts at the foot of the bed and Lex would bet his left nut that they were Eytin’s. As they closed and locked up the front the door, Lex could see that all of this shook up Kaseya. He reached over and pulled her to him just to give her some sort of comfort. She didn’t shove him away as he thought she would but instead she buried her head on chest and sobbed. Suddenly he felt someone jerk his arm as he turned thinking it was either Eytin or Aspin he saw a fist coming as it collided with his face. He shoved Kaseya back and swung blindly at whoever it was. He felt a hard punch to his stomach then a sharp jab to the back of his head and it was lights out for him.

  When Lex finally opened his eyes, everything was blurry. He heard someone scurry over to him and swung out at them but then he heard Kaseya say it her. As he blinked his eyes, more he could see it was her but something was wrong… He stumbled up trying to get a better look at her. she had a busted lip and her clothes were torn and she was sitting in a chair. He fell to his knees in front of her wanting to kill whomever it was who dared to touch her! Are you okay he asked? She nodded her head but the look on her face said different. Don’t lie to me what did they do? Tears sprang to her eyes as she said they’d beat her. The motherfuckers! Did you see their faces clearly? Yes… one’s name was… was Durk. Lex froze. That Eytin’s uncle. Oh…he would fucking pay for this! Lex glanced around and saw that they were in nasty dank basement he felt his pants pockets and realized they had taken his watch, along with everything else he was carrying when they grabbed him. Kaseya was duct-taped to a chair in three separate places her ankles, thighs, and chest.

  Lex glanced around again and saw plexiglass encased box bolted to a table in at the far end of the room he walked over and…Jesus! The box was filled with assorted instruments of torture, a blowtorch, a drill, a stun gun and two glaring floodlights amongst other various torture tools. Suddenly a door swung open and he heard a voice he knew all too well.

  Durk chuckled and said, "So, Lex I think it's time that we stopped bothering to make your ass comfortable here, and get down to business!” Lex rushed at him aiming to fuck him up but Durk sidestepped him as Butch and Caio rushed in. Butch grabbed him and put him in a choke hole as Ciao punched him hard across his face. Then he shocked him with a stun gun and once again, it was lights out for him, but it was short lived because Durk doused him with cold water, which was the worst part by far. When you get hit with a stun gun, it lasts a second. When someone throws cold water on you, it makes you fucking miserable for hours.

  Lex had thought about guns, Billy clubs, and knives but it never occurred to him how desperately he would want to stay dry. Now he would have gladly taken another jolt from the stun gun in exchange for a fresh ass T-shirt.

  "You know you fucked up our original plan Durk said as he kicked Lex in his ribs!” "And I know that you did your homework and put two and two together with that smart ass brain of yours."

  Yea you could say that Lex said as he glanced over at Kaseya. Lex wanted to keep the fuckers as far away from her as possible because he knew what they were capable of.

  "But there are other things that you don't know, Lex. And the reason you don't know them is because you never ask! Your ass just assumes everything!" Well assume away cause by the end of the night all of you will be fucking dead including this pretty little black bitch here Durk said as he walked over and gripped Kaseys’s breast’s in both of his hands and squeezed hard making Kaseya scream out in pain.

  Lex tried rushing towards him again but Ciao shocked him again with the fucking stun gun and with him being wet that shit fucking hurt worse than the first time! Oh shit. That was the moment it felt real. That was the moment Lex knew what Durk was planning. Fuck!

  Do you know why you're here, Lex?"

  No Lex spat!

  "We know you know where Eytin and AJ are so why don’t you tell us to save us all some time."

  You must have me confused with some weak punk motherfucker. I think you know me better than that Durk! I ain’t telling you shit!

  "Now there’s the Lex I know?" This attorney bullshit doesn’t suit you boy!

  You’d like to think so wouldn’t you Durk.

  "Oh, I know so!"

  Mmm-hmm Lex said, looking bored. What the fuck do you want!

  "Well, first thing first, Lex," Durk said. "We gotta do something with her. So here's an idea: My boy Butch here runs a kind of...I guess you could call it a sex-slave operation. Butch grinned and said, “Oh yea I’d love to whore her out I’d make a shit load of cash off of her!

  That one was enough to make Lex jump up and choke the shit out Butch for even mentioning a fucking sex-slave operation to him but that was short lived as well as Ciao gut punched him in his already cracked ribs making him drop to knees again like a ton of bricks. Kaseya screamed out for them to please stop hurting him. Ciao smiled smugly, slapped her hard across her face, and told her to shut her cocksucking mouth.

  Oh, you bastard Butch sputtered. I was thinking of whoring this bitch out here but for that I’m going to whore the both of you out unless you tell us where Eytin and Aj are right fucking now and maybe…just maybe I’ll spare your nigger loving ass! We already he up at his uncles ranch but he wasn’t there when we checked it out now where the fuck are they! Durk placed his hand on Butch’s shoulder to calm him down some then said, “Come on boys let’s give him a minute to think about it, Butch shook off Durk’s hand then kicked Lex again in his ribs then Durk, Butch and Ciao walked out locking the steel door behind them.

  Kaseya called out to Lex but at the moment he couldn’t answer her. Everything was unfolding along a clear pattern and Le
x was knew that they were in some serious trouble now. He would have to play along if he wanted to get him and Kaseya out of this alive.

  Three days later

  I can’t take this anymore I’m going crazy just sitting here Erica shot out. Can we at least get out and hike a damn trail or something? You can ride to my house with me Channing grinned.

  Shoot lets go anything to get me out of here smiled.

  There’s just one thing…you have to keep your head in my lap so no one will see you.

  Erica looked at her friends. They all had big wide grins on their faces. She rolled her eyes at them and them and said, “Ugh get your minds out the damn gutter.” She grabbed her purse and followed Channing out the door.

  The girls peeked out of the window and watched them leave. Whew,…thank God…she was driving me crazy pacing the damn floor Aspin said laughing. Erica needs some dick and quick. Huh…she’s ain’t the only one Azaria said. Yaz and Aspin turned to look at her. Oops did I say that out loud? Heifer please Yaz said cocking her eyebrow, Alton told me what you and Gabe were doing in the kitchen you ain’t slick! Azaria stuck her tongue out Yaz. We didn’t go all way. I stopped him. I’ve never been with white guy…
