It was crazy to even think about.
Alan and Rome both chuckled and I looked down when my phone vibrated. My eyebrows knitted together when I saw it was Chandler but I plucked it up immediately.
“What’s up, C?”
“Lee hit me,” she blurted.
“What?” I scoffed and shook my head because I’d heard her wrong.
“Lee hit me,” she repeated.
I nodded and took a deep breath so I didn’t flash out. I set my dominoes down.
“Your husband?” I clarified.
“Yeah.” She sniffled.
“You called me instead of pops or Rome so I’m going to assume you want me to kill him,” I said simply. “Y’all at home?”
“No. I’m sitting in my car outside of the club. We got in this stupid argument and?—”
I cut her off. “Where’s my nieces?”
“With our parents.”
“Cool. Send me the address. I’m playing dominoes right now but I’ll be through there to kill him in about an hour. Go to a store and get something so you’ve got a time stamped receipt and go home. I’ll call you.”
She sniffled again. “Okay.”
“Alright. Love you.”
“Love you too.”
I held the phone to my ear for another beat then hung up and played my next domino.
When we finished the round, I pushed away from the table and stretched.
“Come on. We have to go kill Lee,” I announced.
Dashawn hopped up and checked his gun without even asking why. Rome chuckled.
“Our brother-in-law?”
“Yeah. He hit Chandler.”
“Lee hit Chandler?” Rome repeated, genuine confusion etched on his face.
“Yeah.”
“Let’s kill him then.”
Rome and Alan hopped up and we dapped the host as a few other men took our spots. Rome hopped into my car. Alan hopped into Dashawn’s. They followed us to the club and I skidded to a top in front of the door and hopped out without cutting the engine.
There were a few cars in the parking lot but nobody was outside except security. He looked at the four of us and moved out of the way before we even made it. I reached back to grab my gun and click the safety off and pushed my way inside.
“Happy birthday!” Screaming surrounded me and I was still partially in shock when Myome’s arms wrapped around my neck.
I hugged her back while I did a quick look around. Lee and Chandler stood off to the side of the door with my parents, Hazel, and Charm while Dashawn, Alan, and Rome were all laughing and already retelling the story of how I’d looked and acted when Chandler called me with her dumb ass lie.
