“Giovonni, are you fuckin’ crazy? It’s one thing for me to help you smuggle a phone in here, but for me to turn a blind eye and watch you take care of somebody is a totally different thing. Do you know how many years I could face in prison for doing something like that? I work at a prison for goodness sake, and this environment shows me that this is the last place that I would want to have to transition to. No! I won’t do it!” she said, and I could see the seriousness in her eyes, but I had a way with my words, so I knew that I could sweet talk her and change her mind.
“Raynell, I love you, shorty. If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t even ask you to do this shit for me. The fact that I could even come to you and ask you this shows that I trust you. I know that you wouldn’t rat
on me. This nigga is better off dead because he knows too much. He knows that I’m fuckin’ you because before he was put here, this was somebody that I used to talk to on the phone just about every day. I wouldn’t want the nigga to be spiteful and rat on what me and you got going on. You’ll lose everything, shorty. That’s what you want?” I asked, lying to her through clenched teeth.
I never told Dino that I was fuckin’ Raynell because I didn’t feel the need to. I just knew that it would light a fire under her ass and get her to change her mind.
“Messing around with you is so fuckin’ dangerous. Whatever you plan to do to him, you better make it quick. If shit goes left, I’m not backing you in this. I don’t know nothing, and I didn’t see nothing,” she let me know.
“You think this is dangerous, shorty? Wait until you hear what I have in mind to ask you next,” I said, and her eyes damn near bucked out of their sockets.
“What could possibly be more dangerous than this, Giovonni?” she quizzed.
“I’ll tell you after we get this done. Let’s go, beautiful,” I said and kissed her.
That, I didn’t lie about because shorty was indeed beautiful. The smile that appeared on her face was either because I’d called her beautiful or because I’d kissed her. Either way, I didn’t stick around long to enough to figure out what it was. Like we always did when we had our meet ups to fuck, I walked out of the room before her, making sure that the coast was clear.
Most people were inside their cells, but everyone who had some sort of job like cleaning up the kitchen, the bathrooms, or rec area were usually out around this time. We’d already had what was supposed to have been dinner, so nobody would be coming out of their cells again.
I casually walked, feeling in my pants pocket, just to make sure that I had the weapon that was specially made for this moment. My palms had been itching to kill this nigga since the very first day that I saw his bitch ass come in. I learned from the OG’s back in the day that if you ever planned to do a nigga dirty, to make your move in silence. I didn’t give Dino any reason to feel like I was going to harm him. I simply ignored him, but if he was smart, he would have feared my silence because that only meant that I was plotting something, and I was up to no good.
I made it to the kitchen area and found him with the mop in his hands, cleaning the floors. His back was toward me, but I didn’t want to just run up on the nigga from behind. I wanted him to actually look me in my eyes as he took his last breath. He must have been able to feel my presence because he eventually turned around. Damn near thirty seconds went by, and neither of us said anything to each other. I couldn’t believe that a nigga who I literally grew up with was going to be added to my list of bodies. We had robbed together, came up with our gang together, fucked some pretty ass bitches together, and then it all had to come down to this. Wow!
“What you in here for?” I asked him.
I could see the huge lump in his throat that he’d swallowed. I also peeped the way his big ass started sweating.
“Shit, assault! I would have made bail, but I had a warrant out for my arrest that I didn’t even know about. Them crackas talking about my fingerprints matched those that were found at a robbery that took place a few months ago,” he said, talking all nonchalantly, although I knew his ass was shaking in his fuckin’ boots.
Dino knew that I didn’t have anything to lose. I wasn’t getting out of this bitch ever, so a man like me should be feared.
“Oh yeah? Who you assaulted?” I asked him, as if I didn’t know.
“Come on, Trip. Why you doing this shit?” he asked.
“Fuck am I doing? I’m just asking a fuckin’ question. I want to know who you assaulted because word on the streets is that you put your hands on my baby mama. I know you not foolish enough to do that. Tell me these niggas lying on you, so I don’t have to do you dirty in here,” I said.
He didn’t respond. A whole fuckin’ minute had passed, and still… nothing!
“Trip, it wasn’t even supposed to go down like that. She started talking crazy, and I just snapped. You know I would never do that to Shae. She’s like a sister… and… anddd… come on, man.” He started crying and begging for his life as I got closer to him.
It’s like I blacked the fuck out. I grabbed the shank that was in my pocket, and I just started jamming it in just about every part of his fuckin’ body. I didn’t stop until I felt his body stop moving. Blood was leaking out of him something serious. I could hear Raynell off in the background, telling me to stop and that was enough, and that’s when I was able to come back to my senses and let his body drop to the floor. I felt nothing as I stood there and watched an old best friend of mine just lay there and die.
“Give it to me. I’ll get rid of it,” Raynell said, referring to the shank that I was still holding.
I quickly passed it to her, and like nothing happened, she walked behind me, escorting me back to my cell. I felt relieved. It wouldn’t change the shit that happened, but it proved the love that I had for Shae. I wasn’t the best nigga in the world, but I actually did love that fuckin’ woman. I had risked so much shit by committing that murder in the kitchen area, but it was worth it to me.
Raynell used her keys to let me into my cell.
“We make a good team, shorty,” I let her know.
“What were you talking about earlier? This dangerous thing that you had in mind?” she questioned.
“I’m thinking about escaping. Me and you. Let’s get far away from this bitch. I don’t have all the details right now because I just started thinking about it a couple of weeks ago,” I let her know in all seriousness, and then she burst out laughing.
“Nigga, are you serious? Who the hell do you think you are? They will kill your ass before you even get off the premises. Go to sleep, Giovonni, because you’re talking crazy,” she whispered.
“I know what’s at risk, Raynell. That’s why this shit is going to take a lot of thought. Please, don’t knock it yet. When me and you first started fuckin’ around, didn’t you tell me that you used to have dreams about us being together? You know, actually able to be a couple in the outside world. If I think this shit all the way through, shorty, we can do that. Go somewhere far, far away. Just me and you. Get married, have kids together. We can start all the way over, man. I’m tired of this shit, yo. I done spent almost eleven years of my life in here doing the same shit. I can’t do this life sentence. It’s either this or Ima fuck around and kill myself in here. I done watched my son die, my baby mama moved on to a nigga that I was cool with, and now I got a daughter that I didn’t even know existed. Every time something happens on the outside that involves me, and I can’t do something about it, I die a little inside. I swear to God I do!” I said, and my voice cracked.
