Scrambled Eggs **** Chapter Seventy-Nine

I was having trouble absorbing what Troy was saying, he had just reminded me that the nigga in the Infiniti truck I had killed was his brother. Everything was slowly coming together and I wasn't even surprised to find out what type of bitch Christy really was. For some reason I felt I could trust Nikki, I mean I should have known not to trust Christy from day one. I remembered seeing a middle name on the paperwork she had given me to hold while she ----stalked the Audi. She knew! Dirty bitch! I had eventually found out her first name was Karma, but on the paperwork it said Christy Michell Creighton, I hadn't known if it was her middle or maiden name and had leaned toward it being Mitchell, especially since Christina was her middle name.

Troy paced and expected me to be ok with what the fuck he had just told me. I didn't know what to think, he had in fact just said Trenton wanted to kill him also. He had said Trenton was holding him responsible for Veronica's debt, but what was it? I googled Karma Mitchell as he went into further detail, now high as a kite. I reached for the blunt, he hesitated before giving it to me but passed it, letting the ashes fall onto the beige carpet. "We safe out here, whole place under surveillance," he assured me.

I was ready to go! I was so nervous, and, and what about Terrica!

I smoked and immediately started trippin, regretting I had even asked for it. I began to think about my babies, I missed them so much. Emily was yet near to my heart and days would be hard. The grieving process was unbearable because I couldn't grieve her. Had she even been real? Everything else had been a lie.

Troy seemed so genuine at the moment, and basically he'd said since he hadn't killed me someone was out to kill us both, and Trenton's calculating ass didn't play fair. My judgement of people was so out of whack and always had been, but I knew if nobody else was, Nikki was down.

Troy stood in front of me, I just couldn't stand his black ass, I didn't know what to do and he didn't either it seemed.

"We could just leave," I said to see where his head was at. He studied me for a moment, I considered, he didn't seem to be trying to leave the area and especially if he had just killed Terrica as a killer would and I really wanted to know if he was solid. My life depended on it. He had known my Lover! Tell me about him---anything, I missed him so much. I could still hear him.

Troy responded to my suggestion without responding by leaving out and coming back with plane tickets. "We can duck off until shit die down."

"What about Terrica?"I asked. I just did not trust him now! I discreetly picked up the lighter and held it looking around the room for flammables.

I knew she was dead! How could he be so malicious, he was wrong, not her!? WHERE WAS HER BODY?

"---the kids, it just wasn't working out. She said it was over so I took my car and told her to get her ass out."

--- really cared about us then why won't he let us leave! He trying to kill us in another state!

"---women no kids, so fuck Trenton. Christy was personal."

---missing something! Why had Veronica been stressing as Christy say she had? She was suicidal! Think Hazel!

"He want war then Ima show that nigga war."

What was I missing?

How did Nathaniel meet Sabrina?

"---leave u alone. I know why Twan fucked with u after Brown said not to. I know that nigga wanted u for himself. Everybody's plan go sour fucking with u and I know why. That nigga just went left."

Brown? Who was he for real, did he have power? Trenton hated him and said he had me arrested, nothing made sense.

"---rid of your paperwork, no paper no case. U were more beneficial to them on the street."

I need to find Sabrina! She has to know everything! Is she still locked up?

"What's Sabrina's last name?"

"Sabrina? Are u even fucking hearing what I'm saying?"

"Yes, how did Nathaniel meet Sabrina?"

Where was her baby? Whose was it, Redd's? I figured if I could get to the bottom of that scenario I could figure it all out, who was she? Why was she important to Nathaniel, important enough for him to take her to his wife? Trenton said he got her off of the street!

"---Mississippi, that bitch came from money that's why Twan fucked with her. She knew Twan wanted to kill him. Nate gone kill that bitch, that nigga slick too. He won't tell her where her daughter's are, and when Christy told u to go kill the bitch, u actually saved her life! HA! Let me ask u this, how many times have u ever saw Christy pull a trigger? Killers move in silence, what u need another muthafucka for?"

WAS HE ALIVE? I needed to know more, I didn't even know half of what was going on, who WAS Nathaniel Carter?! I remembered Trenton saying if he came back Tobias and Twan would kill him, but the element of surprise was he was still alive! I needed a moment to think. I had killed Goat, what role had she played besides led him there?

These were Government officials I was dealing with, some wanted me alive some wanted me dead, I analyzed, if Trenton wanted me dead he had plenty opportunities, I had fucking married him! Or whatever! I looked at his messages, they were defensive. I needed to know more. I texted Pam, "Call me please!"

I didn't want to call her and waited to see if she would call back, who was Martin!

Nothing seemed right.

I stared at the words on the Louboutin box, the words unlit blunt stood out, "Light the blunt," I said.

"I can't find the lighter, are u listening to anything Im telling---!?"

I knew that nigga was a Mama's boy, they all had alternate personas, that was the most beneficial thing I learned from a bitch who had created a deadly one. Troy had a hard exterior but inside he was soft as cotton. Fuck him. I stared at the box, I needed Pam to call. I tossed the lighter, he looked at it and paused before picking it up.

Yea nigga.

For some reason I could not lose focus from the box, the words Christian Louboutin were screaming to be rearranged, where had the box come from? Had I exposed it when I was in the closet?

"---nigga Redd was a snitch. I know that nigga sister's Trichina and Chianti."

Fuck them. Go on---

"The beef with Twan and T started before u, they hadn't seen each other since back in the day. One day he just popped up, he was married and a police with a different last name, they started hitting trucks but his own daddy hit Twan nem for the money. He sent Carlita to find out, where it was but that bitch fell in love with Tobias!"

He lit the blunt and tried to give it to me, I told him to roll another one and declined, I was on to something. That nigga could talk his ass off when he was high. I had to wake up if I wanted to live, this was some serious shit and I'd thought I was a pawn but it was beginning to seem like I was the queen. I knew Twan like the back of my hand, he wasn't dumb by a long shot. I didn't understand why he would give both his son's the same name, he wasn't confused, I was and he had intentionally given my son another name, his own after I'd told him his name.

"---knew about all the money and when Rell was killed B thought Redd had that nigga knocked off for the money, they didn't give a fuck if that nigga was dead. After u was locked up damn near four years and u didn't talk they had to release u, they didn't even have a case B, sent the file to Raina and she destroyed it even though yo silly ass---"

There was some money somewhere. Who would know where? Pam? Sabrina? Had Christy mentioned any?

"---started dropping dead, T was trying to find out about the money. They really thought u knew, u play crazy a lot. It saved ya ass until now so hey--- anyway he decided not to kill u u had mentioned the money the night u and Redd got jammed up. I know that ain't why he couldn't kill u though. The same reason---"

What had I done, I had went against my better judgement, my first impression of Trenton had been eerie, I could recognize dark people. Now I wanted to know who had lifted the oxygen mask from my face, he was the devil.

"Helloo? Get the blunt. Oh and I bought u some cranberry juice since u refuse to drink the water. Girl u are crazy as fuck, u will die because u think I will poison---

I don't trust u nigga---

"Ya babies were crazy too, I saw one breaking eggs in the kitchen on a video---u were passed the fuck out!"

Video? FUCK! Come on Nikki, TODAY! I texted her and started smoking, long hard drags. The letters on all the boxes were screaming at me. May sound dumb as fuck but the only reason I believed that nigga was because Chianti and Trichina's names were in Christian Louboutin.

"---my uncle MP aint playing though, T got some money in an account that belong to him. The only person who could even have that kind of money is T, he got the Orchard, that nigga Lawrence is his right hand man, he is the only person who would know the account numbers. T ain't got long to find out what Rell did---"

Hmmmm, lets see. I knew the account numbers but he had said leave it alone. They were in my phone as a matter of fact, hid under the shed. I took the keys, and left the phone when Tobias made me open the floor door. There was something inside he wanted! Twan had given me the key and half the code. Go on---

"B said he saw u with T and threatened to tell u he would kill u, that nigga said u smart but dumb as hell! I mean, who knew u would fuck with two brothers? He said they fought at the pharmacy and told him he was--- !"

He was laughing hysterically and I wanted to punch him in his throat.

"T put u in the hospital and moved! That nigga foul! They couldn't keep u no more he wouldn't pay, U was in the hospital in his---well somebody else's name---nevermind. Peep this though, B had u locked up until he found T again in Metairie, he knew he would kill u, u kept running off! I couldn't believe the nigga called me to kill u though! U told that nigga I would fuck u and hurt u?"

Why did I even believe him? I didn't know but I did. I began to read the boxes while I smoked, the voices were so loud I couldn't hear Troy. He began to look like a cartoon.

"---had a seizure Christy was suppose to kill u. I waited to kill her first in the garage though. I was surprised to even see u alive at the club! T knew u couldn't walk around with glass in your foot for long. She was at the hospital everyday waiting for u---"

Daddy had told me about Boogie that day, I had been hospitalized after the seizure but would have left with Christy if I hadn't been.

Even after why had she kept me alive? I hadn't known who to trust anymore, but I knew Troy was serious about leaving. I contemplated but wanted to find out about the money, if Trenton thought I knew where it was he wouldn't kill me, I wanted my son and was sure Pam didn't have him, he was too overprotective of him. I had been to hell and back, I would kill him in the worst way.

I wondered how down Nikki really was.
