“More hearsay,” Dawkins said.
“You said you wanted to hear everything and don’t leave shit out,” he said and went back to snitching on AD. “After Sterling got killed, Barnes ran a drive-by on RJ and tried to firebomb The Four Kings. That got this mutha fucka AD’s attention.”
“I bet it did,” Dawkins said.
“A couple of days later, this nigga shows up and offers us a better deal on price and quality than we was getting from Sterling; in return all we had to do was keep going hard at them.”
“And you thought that was a good idea?” Kirk asked, shaking his head.
“It seemed like a good idea at the time. Barnes took RJ killing Sterling personal, so he was all in on the scheme. I was in it for the money.”
“Considering your current situation,” Dawkins looked around the room. “Was it worth it?”
“Hell, fuckin’, no. But hindsight is twenty-twenty.”
“Who killed Doc?” Kirk asked, hoping that he would provide collaboration that Jocko Eisenbraun was the contractor and connect him to AD and Rona.
“I don’t know nothing about that. When I heard that they killed Doc, I said, shiiiit.” Hawkins shook his head. “I was done. Fuckin’ around with Rain Robinson was one thing,” Hawkins laughed and shook his head. “But the shit went south quick when the terminator showed up.”
“Who’s the terminator?” Dawkins asked.
“Black,” Kirk said.
“Oh,” Dawkins said.
“Yeah, that mutha fucka.”
“Didn’t you think that fucking with Rain was gonna get Black’s attention?” Kirk asked. “I mean, before you were all in for the money?”
Hawkins got a very serious look on his face and pointed at Kirk. “I asked that question and I was assured that Black had retired and moved to the Bahamas and Bobby Ray found God or some shit.”
Kirk laughed. “Both of those things were true until you decided it was a good idea to fuck with Rain.”
“Yeah. But like I said, hindsight is twenty-twenty,” Hawkins said and dropped his head into his cuffed hands.
After questioning Hawkins, the detectives, knowing that what he said wasn’t enough to tie anything to Rona, Kirk began the process of getting a warrant for AD and that was when they found out that AD was dead.
“Who do you think had him killed?” Dawkins asked on the way to the lieutenant’s office.
“Could be either one. Black for revenge or Rona tying up loose ends.”
“Kill the only person that could connect her to this,” Dawkins said. “My money’s on Rona. She’s got more to lose.”
“Agreed,” Kirk said as he knocked, and they went in the lieutenant’s office.
After explaining the situation, he agreed that there wasn’t enough to arrest Rona, but they could talk to her about her connection to AD.
“Just talk,” McGraw said, and the detectives stood up. “That means there will be no more confessions at gunpoint Dawkins.”
“Never happened, lieutenant,” she said on her way out the door.
Once they left the precinct and were on their way to question Rona, Dawkins had a question of her own to ask.
“I noticed that you didn’t mention RJ killing Sterling to the lieutenant. You gonna let that slide?”
“No. We’re gonna remember it.”
Dawkins laughed. “What does that mean?”
