DIRTY &CO

The bullet hit Deron’s car window and went through the other , shattering the glass in the process
Sugah eased his slumped body to the ground and quickly got in his car
” Wha happen Sugah mi hear di gun go off’? Martina asked.
” Di man faint whey , dem uptown people yah a saahfaz eno man”
Dave regained consciousness and saw that his shirt was covered in blood and remembered what happened.
A very short , thick rough looking guy was standing infront of him and Martina was by his side, feeling the gun crashing into his head, now he was awake and still in the bitches’ house.
Dave grabbed his bag and headed down the street if he stuck around that house one more day he knew he would die, that guy looked like a killer!
” Sugah falla mi inside, jus incase him come to nuh man, nex ting him try kill mi”
Sugah followed Martina inside, saw that Dave had left , he even cleaned up the blood.
Martina was so happy to see Dave gone, it felt as if he was there a month instead of a few days..
When Sharon stood on her side of the kitchen , she could see almost the whole street, a man with a bag , he looked a lot like Dave.

Sharon quickly ran from the kitchen and went to the gate , somehow she knew he was headed back home.
Tears were streaming down Dave’s face, his eyes were red and he look as if he was about to fall any moment now ” Sharon please please mi a beg yuh mek mi come back home Sharon please, mi did a sleep pan di street Sharon and one bwaay rob mi Shar–on”. Dave sobbed.
Judging by the amount of times Dave called her name, Sharon knew he was hurting pretty badly.
” Dave mi nuh want yuh back but yuh can stay here fi di sake a di kids, yuh did a gi Martina yuh money an all dese tings, till a street yuh end up a sleep”?
”Sharon mi and Martina neva ina nuttin a help mi did jus a help har out, nuttin like dat”!
” Help har out and yuh pickney dem in need”?
Dave had nothing else to say, Sharon believed his story and thats all he needed right now. His head was pounding still.
Martina headed downtown to buy her outfit for church as usual, and remembered that she hadn’t spoken to Mr. Rowe in a while, too money was never a problem in Martina’s book.
Pam couldn’t get over what Melvin had said in bed the night before, also the fact that even now he didn’t seem to have paid any attention to her question as to who Prim was.
Melvin whistled as he went about the yard, sweeping up and weeding out the weeds that were infront of the steps, it was Saturday morning and he couldn’t wait to see Prim on Sunday, he would finally show her what his seat was all about.
Collin Rowe saw heard his phone ringing and wondered if it was Paul calling again, since Deron had come home from the hospital , only it wasn’t Deron , it was Martina
” Hello, long time”, Mr Rowe answered.

” Wha gwaan Collin, yuh a come church tomorrow?
” Yeah mi a come but is wha did happen last week”?
” Whey yuh mean Mr Rowe”?
” Martina, some woman did come stab yuh fi dem man Sundeh a church”.
”Stab me”? No Collin , mi neva get no stab, a some mad ooman from up a mi way whey jealous offa har man whey nobody want and come a church and try beat mi”.
Paul had to meet up with Sugah again to give him the balance of the money.
Felecia parked her car behind the old church where Deron had told her to meet him, her husband didn’t say anything about her and Paul so the money she paid was worth it, she didn’t have to go abroad and she could still see Paul as much as she wanted.
” Felly , Sugah seh him a reach in bout ten minutes, how Mr Rowe?
” He hasn’t said anything to me so I doubt he knows anything more than what he was told at first, and I told him that was a lie”.
” Okay , Okay”, Paul said.
Sugah pulled into the parking lot behind the church, got out and walked over to the parked van and collected the balance of his fee.
” Tank yuh Don”, Sugah told Paul
” Yeah man”.
The back of the church looked inviting, it was kinda late and things were really quiet….
Paul saw the look on Felicia’s face and knew what was up, she always wore skirts when they were outside the gym.

Felicia sat back and put her legs up on the side of the grave, Paul placed small wet kisses on the inside of her legs and licked her hungrily with the tip of his tongue, Felecia’s hips began to move from side to side with urgency, Paul entered her slow and deep, and felt her warmness engulf him.
From where Roy stood he could see to people really getting it on , something that went on regular at his place of work. This couple seemed loud though…
”’ AAhhhhhh Paul mmmmm”
” Yes baby cum fi mi Felly”
Martina hung up the phone , pondering so deep that she didn’t see Dave and walked right into him-
” Tina mi jus a come —
”Come fi tell mi what dutty Dave, come fi tell mi bloodclaat what”?
”Duh mi a beg yuh Tina jus listen tuh mi, all mi a seh a sorry”
If Sugah wanted, he would have been a solider, his steps were quick and light-
Martina and Dave didn’t hear him come in-
” Sorry fi wha Dave, mi neva tell yuh seh mi want yuh a money mi defen straight, is like yuh wha tek set yow and dat nuh wuk ina none a my book dem”.
Roy looked again and again at the lady pulling down her skirt
– ”Nuh sah, a cudden Felecia dat”
He quickly walked to the entrance of the cemetary needing to get a real good look.
” Hi Felcia, how di evening”?
