Man dem Lock-spot
January 25, 2023

We arrived at a mansion and Malachi drove towards the gate. He stopped his car and the guard came out.

"Don," he greeted

"Ypree," Malachi said

"Deh yah eno boss man. Yow Redeye open eh gate fih eh boss!"

Den a Andrew we ago look fah

The gate started to open by another guard and the guard that was talking to Malachi looked at me.

"A wah?" I asked and he looked away.

I hissed my teeth and Malachi rolled up his heavily tinted window before looking at me.

"A man problem uh have likkle girl?" he asked and I looked at him.

"Man problem a wear?"

"A uh mi fih ask," he said and I rolled my eyes.

"Mi tell uh bo dem yiy deh eno," he said and I hummed.

"Uh miserable uh fuck," he mumbled before driving through the gate.

The car stopped and we got out. I hurried to his side only because he knew where we were going and he knows the place.

We walked towards the main door and he opened it.

Ina yah nice tho

Another guard was standing close to the door.

Caz a coulda wah so much man guard?

"Uh ago lef uh phone yah so," Malachi said as the security stretched out his hand towards my phone.

"Fih wah a school we deh?" I asked as I looked at the security guard them him.

"Just gi di man di phone nuh Kristal," Malachi said

"Why? Andrew dun deh suh a wait pan we?" I asked and the guard chuckled.

Malachi looked at the guard and he went back serious.

"Gimi uh phone," he said and I gave it to him.

He placed it in his pocket and took my hand.

"Skitta dem deh yah?"

"Yeah dem downstairs," the guard answered I nod.

He brought me to a living room. He walked me to the couch and I sat down.

He sat on the table in-front me and he got serious.

"Stay yah so," he said while pointing at the spot.

"Mi a dawg,"

"Kristal," he said and I sighed.

"If nobody cum up to you like dem wah try sumo just say uh a Sinna woman-"

"But wah if dem no business,"

"As uh say Sinna dem go back up," he assured me and I hummed.

"Mi no mek ppl have dem phone ina yah,"

"So mi a ppl?"

"Mi no know uh like dhat," he said

"Malachi just gimi mi phone nuh, wah mi ago do? Call moca," I said and he smirked.

He removed my phone from his pocket and I held my hand out like a spoil child with a smile.

He placed it in my hand but didn't let it go.

"Uh see uh face,"

"Pretty don't,"

"No," he said and my smile dropped.

Mi shame

"Not pretty, you're beautiful," he said while releasing the phone.

I hummed and he got up.

"Suh fawud," he said before leaving.

•••

"Den a woman-care dis be," I mumbled and the three woman beside me laughed.

It's been an hour and in that time space three guys have dropped off their woman in the room.

"How uh have your phone?" One of the woman asked me.

"Mi man,"

Hear yah

"Who dhat?"

"Sinna," I said and they all looked at me.

Fear washed over them and they looked away.

"A wah?" I asked since the air was now thick with tension.

"Nuhn," one of them replied.

"Okay," I answered weirdly.

Just then we heard gun shots. I was the first to jump up.

A man ran into the room looking seriously injured. His face and body covered in blood and sweat and.....

Gravy?

He began leaping towards us and I started stepping back.

"Gimi uh phone," he cried

Mi think mi wah help him but-

Shit

I started shaking my head as I hurried away from him.

Malachi walked in and grabbed my waist. He pushed me behind him and the sound of a gunshot pierced through my ears.

I covered my ears and two girls screamed out at the sight. After the commotion died down I walk around Malachi who tried pushing me back.

Brain marrow was on the ground mixed with blood. Half of his face was gone and the other half had his eye bulging out of his socket.

A rush of metallic bile raised in my throat and I turned away to threw up.

I wiped my mouth before feeling his hand on my arm.

I pulled away and stepped away from him. My heart was racing, a lot of emotions spun inside my gut.

My legs worked on their own as I turned around and ran.

A gone mi gone.

Too likkle bit and nuff

"Dimples wait," he shouted.

I opened the door and ran out.

"Dimples!"

I heard a shot and my stopped as my legs froze in my tracks.

A shoot him shoot offa mi

I felt his arms wrapped around me and he shouted something.

"A which one a uno shot offa mi bumboclawt oman!"

"Sorry boss,"

"Sorry?" he asked

"Yow Skitta deal wid dhat fimi,"

"But boss-"

"Hey bwoi shut up," Skitta said.

Malachi turned me around and I closed my eyes.

Too afraid to look into his eyes

"Kristal look pan mi,"

"Uh ago kill mi?"

"The fuck, no, wah mi a kill uh fah," he said

"Caz uh just kill eh man infront mi and uh ppl dem shot offa me and-"

"Calm dung," he said and I tired pulling away.

"Mi no wah stay yah," I began crying.

I looked up at the killer and he walked towards.

"Please, mi a just twelve. Mi have dreams, mi wah mek mi mada proud, mi wah be wah athlete-"

"Uh wah be wah runner?" He asked

"Yes mi do training a school,"

Mi a tell eh man mi business and him still go kill me

"Alright we ago mek a deal," he said before grabbing my arms.

He pulled me up to my feet as my body trembles in fear

"Uh ago run and mi ago count to thirty. If mi catch mi kill uh," he said and I looked at my uncle's lifeless body.

"One,"

He released me and I ran straight through the door and right into the banana walk and into the darkness.

I ran as fast as I could.

My heart thumping against my chest hard and fast, adrenaline pumping through my veins.

I heard him running after me and I turned around.

Darkness.

I tripped on something and I twisted my ankle and fell on my face. I covered my mouth so I wouldn't scream. I turned around and I saw a flashlight.

I got up and I started running again. The pain in my ankle shot through mi like a thousand pins.

I heard sirens and he stopped chasing me. I gave up running when my legs gave up.

The dreams of becoming like Shelly-Ann crushed.

The sirens got louder as I cried.

End of Flashback

"Come,"

He brought me to the car and opened the passengers door.

"Gwaan in nuh," he said and I got in.

He closed the door and went around the car. He got in and I didn't dare to look at him.

My phone started ringing and I looked at it. Through teary eyes I picked up Destiny contact name. I answered the phone and pressed the phone to my ear.

"Hello,"

"A way uh deh,"

"Umm- mi cum back a di villa,"

"Uh alright?" she asked concerned

I looked at Malachi and he looked at me.

"Mi suh cum," I said before hanging up.

Seconds later his phone began ringing.

"Yow,"

"She gov bredda,"

"Destiny she good,"

"She see sumo mi neva did fih mek she see," he said as if I wasn't in the car.

"We deh near mi suh fawud," he said before hanging up.

We arrived the villa and I opened the door.

"Kristal," he said while grabbing my arm

"Bredda look pan mi,"

"Let mi go please," I begged him.

He released me and I got out. I hurried to the door and opened it.

I bumped into Jay and he grabbed my arm.

"Uh gov sis?"

"Yeah," I said before pulling away.

"Really bro," Jay shouted at Outlaw

"Pussy ole lowe uh voice," Outlaw said

"Wah exactly uh mek she see?"

He looked at me and I looked away

"Mi ago a mi room," I said before hurrying away.

I went to the room and closed the door, locking it in the process. I went to the bathroom.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I changed my clothes and placed my air-pods in.

I sat on the bed until my eyes became heavy.

Falmouth, Trelawny
Malachi's Villa
January 26, 2023

My door opened and I looked up. Destiny removed the key from the door and walked in.

I removed the air-pods and she gave me a sad smiled.

"Good-morning babes,"

"Good morning," I said as the girls walked in.

They came and sat down.

"Look how long uno fih cum," I smiled.

"Dimples dis nuh good, uh cah always pretend say nuhn-"

"I don't want to talk about it," I said and Destiny sighed.

"Mi hungry," I said

"Uh breakfast a wait pan uh,"

"Him dung deh?"

"Him ina him room from morning,"

I got up and they looked at me before copying my actions. We went downstairs and I saw Jay.

"Mawning bighead bird," I said and he smiled.

"Uh good?"

"Yeah,"

"Mek sure eno sis," he said and I nod

"If uh wah left eno tell mi or tell Destiny," he said

"Mi good man," I said and he nod.

He pulled Destiny into his chest and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Gov?" He asked and she nod.

I went to the kitchen and opened the microwave. I removed the plate and placed it down on the counter.

I grabbed a fork and went to the fridge.

Mi no drink tea sorry

I removed a cranwater from the fridge and when I closed the door he was standing there.

Mr. Goblin

Real life killa

He looked down at me and I gulped. My hands started trembling and he looked at my hands.

"Morning," I said and he looked up to my eyes.

He walked around without responding. He opened a cabinet and grabbed a bottle of grey goose.

Him even eat breakfast

I watched him pick out a glass and he walked towards me. He took the cran wata and I stared at him.

"Go drink tea," he said before walking out.

Destiny walked in and she looked at me.

"Wapm,"

"Mek sum chocolate tea fimi," I said

"Mi a maid,"

"Mi traumatized remember," I said and she walked towards the pots.
