“Then why you carrying?”
“Niggas are reckless. You never know when someone might run up on you. Just because I’m not into those things doesn’t mean people won’t assume I am.” Raleigh glared at War and added, “I’m not trying to get caught out there like that but I’m also not out looking for trouble.”
One of War’s many talents was reading people. He could discern a lie like no other, so he believed the kid.
“How did you two meet?”
“At Wing Spot. She picked up my order thinking it was hers.”
“And you didn’t know who she was?”
“No.” He quickly shook his head.
“You know she was my sister?”
“Not until Rez told me.”
“Kirsten didn’t tell you?” Raleigh glanced at her and War tapped a finger against his forehead to bring Raleigh’s attention back to him. “I told you to keep your eyes on me. She doesn’t have the answer I’m looking for. You do.”
“No, she didn’t. After Rez told me and I asked she said she didn’t want me to know because I wouldn’t fuck with her because of you.”
War snorted and cut his eyes toward his sister.
“And you didn’t care?”
“I mean yeah but it wasn’t my decision. I’m not into the same shit my cousin is into but I can understand why she wouldn’t want you to know.”
“You don’t plan on changing your occupation anytime soon?”
“Nah, that’s not my thing and I’m never around them like that. I know you don’t believe me…”
War smiled arrogantly, in such an evil manner that Raleigh flinched. “I believe you, which is why I haven’t shot your ass yet.”
“Look, whatever is between you and my cousin that’s your shit. It doesn’t have anything to do with us.”
“It shouldn’t but it does. Let me be clear, you fuck her over, I’ll hurt you in ways you can’t begin to imagine and I don’t give a fuck about Rez or anyone else. That one right there is my only concern, understood?” War pointed to Kirsten but kept his eyes on Raleigh.
He nodded and confirmed. “Understood.”
War backed away and pointed to the vehicle behind him. “Get back in your car.”
Frowning, Raleigh glanced at Kirsten but got back in his car. However, he didn’t leave. War moved to the sidewalk where his sister was standing. As soon as he was close enough she punched him in the shoulder with all her strength. He barely moved.
“You’re such an asshole.”
“If caring about you makes me an asshole, then I’ll be that. Doesn’t fucking matter what you think, Kirs.”
“What did you say?”
“That doesn’t matter either, just know I believe he’s not on any bullshit with you.”
“I told you that.”
“You did, but there’s also a lot of shit you think you know. I had to be sure.” He pulled her into a hug and planted a kiss on her forehead. She groaned in aggravation but hugged him back. “I know you don’t get it but I’m doing the best I can not to lose anybody else, Kirs.”
“I get it,” she said softly and pulled away. “Mom’s not here.”
“I came to see you.”
