She has been trying to catch her parents' killers since that night seven years ago, she had done almost everything she could but as soon as she found love it had to be him, it had to be the one who took them away from her on her birthday.
As she remembered that night she pulled away from him now, she wiped her tears and sniffed.
He did not move closer he went to where the baby was on the sofa in his little pram.
Antonio looked at him with a smile on his face, he did not forget what they were talking about but he could not ignore the baby.
He wanted to ask if the baby was his but as he raised his head to look at her he knew why she had come.
He knew she came to show him the baby, it was her excuse to see him, and he had to use the baby too.
Is it a boy or a girl? he asked her.
It is a boy she said.
Does he have a name yet, he asks her.
I am waiting for his father to give him one she says turning her head to the side as tears run free
He looks at the baby and he picks him out of the pram and hugs him, amber continues to sob now, her heart was aching bad and she needed air.
She took deep breathes to steady herself and then she says, why did you do it tell me?
He stares at her as he holds the baby, his tension was subsiding as he kneels just this moment he could do everything for bee and his son.
The seat he says to her, please seat he adds.
She looks at him then she sits down.
He seats opposite her with the baby still in his hands he began to tell her how it all happened seven years ago.
I worked for your grandfather and by extension your father, we did all your grandfather had asked of us dutifully.
And your father too we did whatever he said, shot whoever, it was just all for them, all for the family.
Until your father started to talk to a fed, and that was how we began to suffer, my brother was killed in an encounter and so it continued, we began to lose men day in and day out.
Then one faithful day, Philip found out that your father had been the one talking to a fed.
We all could not believe Philip, I had to punch him the moment he spoke about it
But after a few days, I was taking some deliveries to the corner when I saw him in the car talking to a fed, they both talked a while as I watched.
And as the fed left that same day we had a bust and many of ours died.
All those times we thought it was a rival gang who was telling on us and we were lashing back at them until we found out it was just him until I found out it was your father
