THE DREAD

Mamme Bay mandem a the biggest set a fassy mi eva encounter.

Ova the years, the only time Blood Paw and Shottaz head eva lick a ova sum petty foolishness like robbery or just simply seeing e enemy faction a roam e turf. Lately, dem tek we lightly and a try fuck around wid wa Blood Paw establish ina the place.

Antaro doesn't seem to understand that. His sole concern is how quickly I can finish tying up loose ends in Steer Town and return to Kingston to handle more pressing matters.

Man neevn business seh him only son weh deh road nearly get him three points tek. . .

Not that I need the bastard's pity.

I have my mother.

She's in Antaro's office with us, attending to my injury. It looks worse than it feels because the bullet went right through. Chayanne nor Mamma don't believe that though.

The only pain I can feel is the ache in my eardrums. Anatro is a nuisance yapping on and fucking on about what I already know.

"You need to be in Kingston. This Shottaz thing a tek too long now," he says. "I don't care what you have to do - just do it. Mek dem know we nuh tek nuh chatting. If you have to kill their wives and kids then do the dirt-"

Mamma gives Antaro a harsh look and he goes quiet.

In all my years, she's the only person I've seen challenge him and live to tell the story. Life being the gamble it is, there will always be one thing, or person, that can cost a person just about everything. I'll say she's his - his weakness.

I take the glass of Hennessy off the table and take a swig. Fuck. I'll need two more of these to handle Antaro's nonsense for the remainder of the night.

Nun mi hate more than fi deh a Town a get lecture like me ano mi own big man.

"Me a deal wid it, Antaro."

Mi actually a try get in touch wid e smaddy weh run Shottaz operation. Usually a neva nun fi duppy anybody weh come ina mi way. . . But mi a try leff Steer Town wid minimal bloodshed. I don't want anything to lead back to me when I take over. And I feel responsible for keeping violence far away from her.

That's why mi a try change my initial method of approach and see if Shottaz leader waa come to waa formal agreement instead. . . The hole ina mi shoulder a waa reminder seh dat nehna work out so far.

And doh me a waa impatient man, Antaro much worse than me. If mi neva stop Mamme Bay from impede the progress soon, Antaro would send smaddy widout conscience ina Steer Town fi handle dat. And if dat tek place. . . her community wudn be as safe as it be right now.
