Rey chewed on Skittles as he pulled in front of a home in
Appleton Hills. He smiled at the quaint house with a white
picket fence and manicured lawn. His phone vibrated in the seat
next to him and he answered.
Rey. Yo.
Valentina. Where are you?
Rey. Going into a meeting, hermana. What you need?
Valentina. Did you get my Skittles?
Rey. Of course, I did.
Valentina. Rey!
Rey. I'll buy you a new bag, shut up. I'll talk to you later.
Valentina hung up on Rey and he smiled, shaking his head. He got
out of the car and walked up the driveway, studying everything
he could about the neighborhood. It was nice. The kind of nice
that was too nice for Rey's liking. He knocked on the door as he
popped a few more Skittles into his mouth. The door popped open
and he smiled.
Rey. You must be Kemena. I'm Reymundo, Rey for short. Your
cousin on Miguel's side. I'm not even gonna beat around the bush
with you, I'm happy to have a little cousin. I'm sure my sister
will be thrilled. But, I need to talk to your boyfriend...or is
it fiancee?
He paused and looked down at his hand.
Rey. Skittle?
He extended the bag to her.[/center]

Kemena looked at Rey for a moment and took the bag of skittles
from him.
Kemena. Fiance.. And he's not here..
She turned around and walked back into her home as she poured
skittles in her hand.
Kemena. You can come in and wait though.. He should be right
back. He just went to the store..
He walked in and shut the door while she walked back to the
living room taking a seat on the couch with a sleeping Khari. He
sat on the love seat diagonal to her as she handed him back the
skittles.
Rey. What's her name?
Kemena. Khari...
Rey. She's got the Vega nose..
Kemena smiled down at Khari then she looked over at Rey.
Kemena. You got any kids?
Rey nodded.
Rey. Yeap. 2 of them.. My son is 6 and my daughter is 4..
Kemena nodded.
Rey. You got anymore?
Kemena. This is the only one I spit out.. But we have an 8 year
old son too..
Rey nodded.
Kemena. You married or something?
Rey. Na.. I'm not married or nothing..
Kemena laughed and Rey smiled a bit as he turned his attention
to the tv.
Rey. What are you watching?
Kemena. Narcos..
Rey smirked and nodded. Kemena watched as Khari began to stir,
and she knew it was about to be feeding time.
Kemena. Hey.. You want some water or something?
Rey. Yeah.. Lemme get a water.
Kemena nodded and walked off to the kitchen and realized her
phone was on the kitchen counter. She picked it up and texted
Bakari.
Kemena.:. Hey babe. My cousin is here..
She slipped her phone in her pocket and grabbed a bottle of
water and a bottle for Khari out of the fridge. Once she made it
back into the living room she handed him his bottle as Khari
stirred awake. She began to whine so Kemena picked her up and
began to feed her.
Kemena. Mommy's got you babygirl..

Rey. She's beautiful.
Kemena. Thank you.
She cut her eyes at him as he sipped his water and smirked.
Rey. What?
Kemena. What do you need with Bakari?
Rey weighed the question as he watched her feed baby Khari. He
lived in plausible deniability. You can't be prosecuted for
something you know nothing about. However, if he was there for
Bakari, there was a good chance Kemena already knew the life he
led.
Rey. I'm thinking about moving our operation here.
Kemena. What operation?
Rey. The Vega Cartel...the one Miguel ran. I run it now, and I'm
looking to expand out of the west coast and Texas. Problem is
that the Haitians up here run this area.
Kemena. And you need my Haitian fiance to get you in.
Rey. Smarter than I thought you would be.
He took another sip of his water.
Kemena. He's out of the game.
Rey. If it's one thing I've learned all these years, it's that
you're never out of touch. He may not be pushing, but he's still
very much in it, prima.
They looked at each other.
Rey. It's okay. He wouldn't put y'all in jeopardy.
Kemena. How you figure that?
Rey. You never put people you love in harm's way. You go outta
your way to make sure they're protected. My kids see me daily,
but no one in my business knows I'm a father. Can't tell you
where my family lives or anything.
Rey sat up.
Rey. You're a Vega. You're smart enough to do what you need to
do without showing your entire play.[/center]

Kemena looked at Rey as she thought about what he was saying.
Just as she was about to make her remarks she saw the door open
and Jamal run in.
Kemena. Hey honey..
Jamal. Hey. I got your candy..
Kemena. Thank you..
She looked back at the door and smiled when she seen Bakari.
Kemena. Hey baby.
Bakari walked further into the house and smiled at her as he
handed her a plastic bag and kissed her on the cheek.
Bakari. Oh. My little princess is up..
Bakari rubbed Khari's cheek and she smiled as he turned his
attention to Rey.
Kemena. Primo Rey.. My fiance Bakari and our little man Jamal.
Rey smiled slightly and stood up as he and Bakari shook hands.
Rey. It's good to meet you man..
Bakari. Yeah.. It's always good to meet family..
Bakari looked over at Kemena as she stood up taking the empty
bottle from Khari's mouth.
Bakari. What brings you by?
Kemena let out a slight sigh and stood up turning her attention
to Jamal.
Kemena. Jamal, can you help me with Khari? I think she poohed..
Jamal. Ewww... -laugh- I'll get the wipes..
Kemena smiled then gave another glance to Bakari and the three
of them headed up stairs to get Khari right. She had her
reservations about Bakari doing business again since it was the
exact reason they'd moved out of Hamilton Beach in the first
place, but she was going to let him make his decisions..

Bakari watched as Kemena shut the door behind them before
looking back at Rey, who was already looking at him.
Rey. Cut to the chase. I need a connect with the local Haitian
cartel.
Bakari. And you came to me? What makes you think I'm connected?
Rey. Are you not?
Bakari sighed and turned back around to make sure his family
wasn't there.
Bakari. I know a couple guys there, but I ain't in the life no
more. I'm keeping my nose clean. If I go near them, they'll
connect me back.
Rey. I understand.
Bakari. I got kids now.
Rey. So do I.
Bakari looked at Rey.
Rey. Listen, I think part of the problem is that you're used to
working for other people. You done well enough to buy this for
your family, but you never been a boss. I want to make you a
boss. Unlimited money, legitimate power. Why would somebody have
to tell you what to do?
Bakari. Look, man...
Rey. Connect me, and we'll talk after that.
Rey extended his hand. Bakari shook it, and he somehow felt like
he'd made a deal with the devil. Rey picked up a bag of Skittle
sand walked out of the house. Bakari sighed as he locked the
door and plopped down on the couch. He heard the bedroom door
open and shut. Moments later, Kemena sat next to him.
Bakari. You know what he wanted?
Kemena. I do.
Bakari. We left Hamilton Beach over this shit.
Kemena. I know.
She reached over and locked their fingers.
Bakari. I can't let Jamal and Khari be raised around that.
Kemena. But...
Bakari knew there was a but that he was trying to avoid.
Bakari. We're running out of money, baby. I don't know why I
didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to get a 9-5. I been a
drug dealer since I was 15. I just now broke free of all this
shit, but I don't know where we can go from here.
Kemena. I don't want you back in it.
Bakari. So, what are we going to do?
They looked at each other.
Bakari. Baby, it'll be temporary, okay? Just until we get on
solid ground, then we can start a business or
something.[/center]

Kemena sighed as she thought about Bakari getting back to
business. It wasn't something she wanted for him, and she wasn't
nervous for herself or the kids because she knew she would take
care of them. She was more concerned for him.
Kemena. You better be careful..
Bakari. I am..
Kemena looked at him with a slight frown.
Kemena. I'm serious.. You know I'd lose my mind if something
happened to you... I need you to watch your back.. And think..
And don't do no stupid shit.. And...
Bakari cut her off.
Bakari. I hear you baby.. Ima be careful.. Ima make it back home
to yall alright?
Kemena took a break and smiled at him lightly then she leaned
over and kissed him.
Kemena. I just wanna make sure you're safe daddy..
Bakari smirked at her she smiled back for a moment then thoughts
flashed across her mind and her energy changed. She decided to
keep it to herself, but she didn't realize he'd felt it until he
spoke.
Bakari. What's on your mind baby?
Kemena looked over at him.
Kemena. Do you still wanna get married?
They hadn't really talked about it since Khari's been born, and
it wasn't really on her mind until Rey asked their status. She
looked over at him as she waited for his response.

Bakari. Of course, I still want to marry you, Kemena. This just
a little set back, but we still gon' get married and ride off
into the sunset with them kids. And the other ones I'ma put off
in there.
Kemena laughed.
Kemena. You full of shit.
Bakari. Fareal, though. We gon' be okay.
Bakari leaned over and kissed Kemena.
Kemena. My cousin said something about being able to keep his
life a secret.
Bakari. Yeah, he said something to me about it too. Maybe I need
to hang with him. Figure out how he does that shit. Just in
case.
Kemena. You don't think we're in danger, do you?
Bakari. Nobody knows what happened to big homie, and ain't
nobody knocked on the door yet. I just want to take precautions,
you know?
Khari began crying and Kemena sighed. Bakari held her hands.
Bakari. I got it.
Bakari stood up from the couch and walked upstairs and into
Khari's bedroom where a frazzled Jamal looked at his little
sister with a panicked expression as she cried in her crib.
Bakari smiled and pulled Khari up, rocking her.
Jamal. She just started screaming, daddy.
Bakari. I know, son, it's okay. If she do that, just come get me
or Kemena. Okay?
Jamal. Is Kemena my new mama?
Bakari looked at Jamal and sat down in the rocking chair,
pulling him to his empty leg so he could sit down.
Bakari. Son, nobody is ever going to replace your mama, okay?
How you feel?
Jamal. I don't know. Is that bad?
Bakari. It's not. Most people don't ever know how to process
somebody dying, Jamal. It's okay to be confused, or mad, or
whatever you feeling right now. Whatever it is, though, just
know you can always come to daddy or Kemena and tell us exactly
what's going on. Okay? We love you.
Jamal. Kemena do, too?
Bakari. Yes.
Bakari kissed Jamal's head and embraced him.
Bakari. You off big brother duty for the day, go play.
Jamal ran out of the room in excitement as Bakari looked down at
a now sleeping Khari.
Bakari. I don't know if I'm doing what's right, lil mama. So, if
I fuck up, I'm asking for forgiveness now...
