Mariah. DeAndre, you're not going after him.
DeAndre. Mariah--
Mariah. No. I can't risk losing you like that.
DeAndre. This nigga put his hands on you, Ri.
Mariah. I'll deal with it, you're not going to. I said no.
DeAndre sighed.
DeAndre. Y'all still goin over Grammaw house.
Mariah. You're staying with us, then.
She looked at him and walked off, going to their bedroom to pack
a bag for them...
...A half an hour later, DeAndre was pulling into the wraparound
driveway of his grandmother's estate. Caden and Brianna were
fast asleep and Mariah had been staring at her hands the entire
time.

Pearlene sat in her study, drinking tea. She heard the sound of
the doorbell and got up, making her way out of the room and to
the top of the grand staircase as her butler opened the door.
She smiled at the sight of her grandson walking in with his
family.
Pearlene. You all get more beautiful every time I see you.
DeAndre. Hey, Grammaw.
Pearlene descended the staircase and wrapped her arms around
him, kissing his head. Her eyes landed on Mariah and she spotted
a bruise on her face.
Pearlene. What happened to you, sweetheart?
Mariah. I'm fine.
DeAndre. I'll be back.
Pearlene watched as DeAndre handed Brianna off to Mariah and she
felt an uneasiness in her stomach. He turned on his heels and
headed toward the door.
Pearlene. DeAndre...
He turned and looked at her.
Pearlene. If you insist on leaving so late at night, I believe
your family deserves more than an "I'll be back." Don't you?
She stared at him.[/center]

DeAndre looked at Pearlene for a moment as Mariah glared at him.
DeAndre. I will be back..
Mariah shook her head and walked to the living room. He watched
her before he turned to Pearlene who was walking toward him and
she spoke in a hushed tone.
Pearlene. Did you put your damn hands on that girl?
DeAndre sighed.
DeAndre. No I didn't... But I'm finna go get the nigga that did
though..
He was about to proceed out until she grabbed his arm.
Pearlene. DeAndre Jamel...
DeAndre cut his eyes at Pearlene.
Pearlene. Let me remind you where you are at...
DeAndre. I know where I'm at..
Pearlene. You are in New Chartres, Louisiana. Where they will
hang your ass for j walking across the damn street if you catch
em on a bad day... And you gon go out there looking for trouble?
This is not Carver City.
DeAndre. I know this aint Carver City cause niggas there already
know what it is.. -sigh- And I aint looking for trouble. Trouble
found me..
Pearlene. Well now you found me.. So listen to me.. If you
really want to be some help to your family you need to go
comfort your wife and make sure she's alright... I'm calling the
police.
DeAndre. Grammaw.. That nigga put his hands on Mariah.. His
hands need to be cut off.
Pearlene looked at him.
Pearlene. I understand you're upset. I'm calling Sheriff
McIntyre.... Now gon on and do what I said.. Yall have been
through enough today. The Sheriff will handle it..
DeAndre sighed and shook his head as Pearlene dialed a number
and put the phone to her ear. He sighed and untucked his pistol.
Pearlene. Go put that up too.... Just breathe baby... We gon
figure it out..
DeAndre shook his head walking off into the living room. He sat
next to Mariah as Cade and Brianna laid asleep on the other side
of her.
DeAndre. I'm just tryna protect yall the best way I know..
He wiped his face with his hand and looked over at her.
DeAndre. I'm sorry I wasn't there for yall Ri... I aint doing no
more late nights... I aint goin in on no more off days.. Ima be
with yall..

Mariah. DeAndre, listen to me. Please? Don't talk, just listen.
DeAndre nodded and Mariah sighed.
Mariah. We both came down here for a new start. I know this
wasn't ideal, but I don't want you slipping up like this is
Carver City. You think they won't treat you worse down here?
These people don't know you or your daddy, and they don't give a
shit what happens.
DeAndre. But, baby--
Mariah. You want to risk being away from us? Again? We've spent
the last two years trying to get to this point, and you're gonna
throw it away?
DeAndre. He hit you.
Mariah. And I'm giong to handle it. Not your way, my way. Okay?
DeAndre shook his head.
DeAndre. You not hearing me, Ri.
Mariah. Nobody's trying to take your manhood from you, DeAndre.
This ain't even about you.
DeAndre. How it ain't?
Mariah. I could have fuckin died, DeAndre! All of us could have,
and you're not gon' do anything but raise more problems than we
need with that fuckin anger of yours!
Pearlene walked into the living room with a man following her.
Mariah and DeAndre stood up.
Pearlene. This is Sheriff McIntyre. This is my grandson DeAndre
and his wife, Mariah.
McIntyre. I'll need to take your statement, ma'am. Alone.
DeAndre. Nah, I'm not--
Mariah. DeAndre, take the kids upstairs for me. Please, baby,
just go.
Pearlene picked up Brianna.
Pearlene. Get your son and let's go, DeAndre.
Mariah watched as DeAndre picked up a sleeping Caden and they
walked off as she began to tell Sheriff McIntyre what
happened.[/center]

DeAndre held onto Cade as the sheriff and Mariah began talking.
He took Cade to the same room Brianna was in and laid him down.
He looked at both of them for a while, then he looked at
Pearlene as she began to talk.
Pearlene. You got ways like your father, and it makes me sick..
I know you mean well, but you can't fix everything..
DeAndre. Grams... These my kids... And my wife.. They my
responsibility..
Pearlene. No. They're God's responsibility.. You do what you can
and you let him do what you cant...
Before DeAndre could respond Cade began to stir awake and
commanded his attention..
Cade. Daddy...
He wiped his eyes and sat straight up in the bed taking a look
around.. He smiled when his eyes landed on a smiling Pearlene.
Pearlene. Is that my baby?
Cade. Memaw!
DeAndre shushed Cade as Brianna adjusted. Cade took notice and
quietly stood up and held his arms out. Pearlene smiled and
hugged him tight picking him up off of the bed.
Pearlene. Here's my big boy.. How are you doing?
Cade. I'm okay.. -looks around- Where's mommy?
DeAndre. She's downstairs..
... After a half hour, Pearlene and DeAndre walked out of the
room leaving Cade with cartoons on low while Brianna slept. He
paced the floor as Pearlene watched him.
DeAndre. Grams... I'll die for anyone of em.. And right now I
dont know how to not react... That nigga threatened what's
mine.. And I wanna kill him..... I thank God for Ri cause I'd
lose my mind if anything would have happened to any of one of
em...
DeAndre took deep breaths because he found himself getting
excited.
DeAndre. Im gon do it your way though grams... I'm gon let the
sheriff figure it out... They better figure it out though.

Pearlene stared at DeAndre, tears welling up in her eyes. She
shook her head and sighed, quickly wiping away the tears that
were forming.
DeAndre. What's wrong?
Pearlene. You're more like your grandfather than you know.
DeAndre. You don't ever talk about him, Gram.
Pearlene. Because Sylvester was a horrible man who didn't care
about anyone but Sylvester.
DeAndre looked at her.
DeAndre. You trying to call me a horrible man?
Pearlene. You can be incredibly selfish. Your father is the same
way.
DeAndre. How is it selfish to want to hurt that nigga for what
he did?
Pearlene. What does it do, DeAndre? Sure, he's dead. But, then,
your wife would have been without her husband and your kids
would have been without their father.
DeAndre. Nah, self defense.
Pearlene. -chuckles- He didn't do anything directly to you,
DeAndre. If Mariah killed him, sure. But you?
DeAndre looked at Pearlene as shes hook her head.
Pearlene. You have a family to consider, DeAndre. You need to
start considering them before you make decisions.
They looked down the staircase as Sheriff McIntyre and Mariah
walked toward the door. They made their way down the stairs.
McIntyre. I can assure you, Mrs. Jones, we'll find this man and
handle him. Thank you for your cooperation.
Mariah. Thank you.
Sheriff McIntyre looked at Pearlene with a smile.
McIntyre. Will I be seeing you at church, Miss Pearlene.
Pearlene. You will, hopefully I can get my little family here
with me.
Pearlene began to walk Sheriff McIntyre out to his car. When
they were a safe distance, they began speaking.
McIntyre. So, that's Andre's son, huh?
Pearlene. One of them. The other decided to travel the world
after that nonsense in Texas.
McIntyre. This Reo kid, I've heard some talk about him.
Supposedly he's not the brightest bulb in the house.
Pearlene. Well, he's affected my family a great deal.
They looked at each other.
McIntyre. Been a long time since we've heard anything from Lady
Bishop.
Pearlene. And it seems the city has forgotten. Put him in the
square. Make it known.
McIntyre. You got it.
Pearlene watched as Sheriff McIntyre drove away before she
walked back into the house.[/center]

DeAndre stood in the kitchen leaning against the counter holding
a beer while he thought about the words of his grammaw. He
sighed and turned the bottle up to his lips again before he was
joined in the kitchen by Mariah. They made eye contact then she
opened the fridge door.
DeAndre. How you feeling?
Mariah sighed as she pulled out a bottle of water.
Mariah. I'm.. I'm okay DeAndre..
He could tell she was still shaken up, and he assumed she was
minimizing her feelings to keep him at bay.
DeAndre. C'mere mama..
She didn't move so he moved to her instead wrapping his arms
around her. Eventually she relaxed in his arms as he rubbed her
back.
DeAndre. I know I can be selfish Ri.. But I'd do anything in the
world for yall..
Mariah. I know...
They were quiet for a moment until she looked up at him.
Mariah. You never told me what happened to the truck..
DeAndre sighed. He had completely forgotten about Eddie's DUI
and how he needed to get more people licensed with CDLs.
DeAndre. Eddie got a DUI and almost got the truck impounded.. I
was the only other person that could drive it legally... I told
Kris he was gonna go get his..
Mariah. How you know he want his CDL?
DeAndre. He aint got no choice... He wanna be second in command
then he gotta make some moves... Or I'll put somebody else in
his spot..
Mariah. That's your cousin...
DeAndre. I know.. And you're my wife and we got kids.... I told
you I'm gon be around more and I meant that..
Mariah. Okay DeAndre.
He continued to hold onto her as he took another swallow of his
beer. His thoughts had slowed down and his mind had finally
settled from his homicidal thoughts. Now instead of revenge, all
he wanted was for Mariah to get some sleep. He knew she was
stressed even if she wasn't talking about it. He made a mental
note to send out a text to the crew letting them know not to
expect him.
... After they both showered, DeAndre found himself in bed with
Mariah Cade and Brianna. Brianna laid on his chest and he held
her with one hand while his other arm stretched out under Cade
and Mariah. He watched the three of them as the slept soundly.
He took the quiet time to do something he hadn't done in a long
time. He spoke quietly to make sure he didn't wake them.
DeAndre. God, You know I don't know what I'm doing but I'm
trying.. -sigh- I thank You for guiding me to this point, and
for this renewed love with my wife... I thank You for sparing
our lives today Lord. I know it could have gone a lot of
different ways... I pray that you continue to protect my family
from all evil and forgive us for the sins we may commit in the
future. Help me walk by faith and not by sight... Continue
shining Your light. Amen.
Mariah. Amen..
DeAndre looked over at Mariah as she squinted her eyes slightly
with a smile. She reached over and rubbed his cheek then her arm
rested over Cade and Brianna before she and DeAndre both drifted
off to sleep.
END SCENE
