I was sitting in my living room watching the 10 p.m. news, and smoking my daily blunt. I hate watching the news, because it's so depressing, but that was the only thing on tv worth watching. I was taking a hit of my blunt when my cell phone started ringing. I picked it up off the coffee table to see who was calling and it was my dude, Sachi calling. So I answered it. "Sachi, what's good my dude?" I greeted.

"I'm good, but yo, did you hear the news?"

"What news?" I said and took one last hit of the blunt, then put the clip out in the ashtray.

He started telling me about a murder that happened last night. He was telling me so much that you would think he was a newscaster reporting the murder. I really wasn't paying attention to what he was saying, but when he said,

"Yo, peep game tho', he had a daughter."

"That nigga had a seed. I thought he couldn't have kids?" I said.

"Just goes to show you one nut can reproduce," he jokes. "But anyway, guess who is the mother?"

"Hell if I know," I said. "So tell me."

"Well, word going around that Tonya is the mother."

"Tonya? My Tonya, nigga you bugging. I know she wouldn't have a kid by the next nigga, and have me raise it."

"Well, that's the word going around sense last night," he said as someone was beeping in on my other line.

I looked at the caller ID to see who it was and Tonya name was showing. So I said to Sachi, "Yo, someone beeping in on my other line, and i gotta take it.

"Aight yo, I will tell you what else I heard. Give me a call back when you finish."

"No doubt," I said and switched over to the other line. "Hello?"

"Hey bae," she said. "How are you doing?"

"I'm feeling kinda numb to tell you the truth."

"Why is that bae?"

"Momma, I wanna tell you a little story, and at the end of the story. I want you to tell me what would you do to correct the situation."

"Ok bae, but hold on let me put Kira in her bed. She fell asleep right in the middle of the floor, and Ninja kat is sleeping on top of her. Be right back," she said and puts the receiver down. Ten minutes had passed before Tonya returns. "I'm sorry about that bae, I had to change her sheets they was all sticky from the candy I let her have last night. Now, what were you saying?"

"There was this couple," I said. "And they had a 2-yr-old daughter. Now, the real father was murdered, but no one knew the real father could have kids."

"The real father was murdered," Tonya paused. "Wait bae, the female had a kid by the next guy who was murdered."

"Yes. But, she's playing it off like the guy she with now. She's playing it off like its his kid. Are you following me?"

"I think so, you said there is this couple, and the female had a baby by another guy who was murdered."

"Right," I said. "Now, no one knew that the guy who was murdered could have kids."

"Why couldn't he have kids?" She wonders.

"He had one nut removed, because of a childhood accident."

"See bae, I told you," she said. "When God wants someone to have a child they're going to have a child."

I just got quiet and Tonya started ranting on about the bible, and how the female who did that was grimy. Once I

heard enough I said. "So, what would you do to correction that situation?"

"If I was that dude I would leave that girl. If she did that who's to say she don't have more bones in her closet."

"So, you would leave her if you were that dude?"

She sucks her teeth. "Drop her like a bad habit."

"But, what if you loved the female would you still leave?"

"Hmm, that's a tricky one," she said as someone was ringing her door bell. "Bae, I will call you right back someone ringing my doorbell." Tonya hangs up the phone to answer her door. She says, "Who is it?" and looks through the peephole. When she saw her best friend Monica standing on the other side, she opens the door. Monica quickly comes in and makes a beeline to where Tonya kept her booze. She made her a rum and Coke, then gulp it down. She made another, then one more before she said, "T, Shawn is dead. He was murdered last night in front of Mello Madness Driving school."

"He was what?!" Tonya said and clutched her heart.

"He was murdered. Shaborn shot him in the head. When he found out that Shawn was the reason Javon got killed. Monica was going into details about what happened last night, and after about twenty minutes her door bell started ringing. Tonya gets up to go answer it. She looks through the peephole and saw me standing there on the other side. She opens the door and I pointed the 9mm Glock pistol I had in her face.

"Just tell me, why?" I said. Before she could answer I pulled the trigger. I felt a sharp pain in my back. Tonya was elbowing telling me to roll over because I was snoring to loud.
