Chapter Thirteen: Understanding Carter
Neveah's pov
"Ah Dr Neveah Evelyn King." Mr Rodriguez smiles as he sees me walk in the room. I close the door behind me and walk to the table sitting across from him.
"I need a favor, a really big one." I say with no emotion.
"Well hello to you too doctor, I'm doing well and you doctor?"
"This is serious Carter." He raises his eyebrows and looks at me.
"What is it doctor?"
"Caleb Rivera. Do you know of him?" His face drops and he turns his whole body to face me.
"What did you just say?"
"Caleb Rivera, Carter. Do do you know of him?"
"Yes, I know that bastard." He comments in disdain.
"I need to to help me with that. He took my son."
"Why would he take your son?" He asks in genuine confusion and he furrows his eyebrows.
"Well, technically it's our son and-"
"Wait hold on a second. You have a baby with Caleb Rivera?! Holy shit." He says and I get angrier by the second.
"Okay we were in college and we fooled around and I got pregnant, I barely speak to him and he took my child last night."
"So why do you think that I can help you?" He leans back in his chair and looks me dead in the eye.
"Come on Carter, I know you were in a gang and you have some connections. I really need your help Carter my poor baby is out there in the hands of an erratic fool that could possibly get my son killed I need you right now Carter."
"What's in it for me?" He says and I wipe my tears.
"As soon as you get my son back in my arms and he is safe, you're a free man. You can leave this prison immediately." He places his elbows on the table and rubs his chin.
"How soon can we start?" He asks after a few minutes of silence.
"Now."
"Then I need to make a few phone calls."
***An hour later***
"Babe, you're back! Have you heard of anything ye..." Leo comes to me in the doorway and stops as soon as he sees Carter. "Who is this?" He questions and I look back at Carter to see him giving Leo a cold heart stare.
"Can we just sit at the table?" After their stare down they slowly made their way to the table in the dining room.
"Okay Leo, meet Carter Rodriguez. Carter meet, Leonardo Smith." The tension in the room is too thick and they just nod at each other.
"What is he doing here?" Leo asks and I turn to look at him.
"Well remember the patient that I worked with in prison?" I ask and he nods his head, "Well this is him."
"Are you insane? Are you seriously gonna let a criminal into our house?"
"Calm down Leo, please try to understand-"
"Listen I don't know about you, but I'm trying to find Xylon so if you wanna-"
"Could you fucking listen! There you go again disrespecting me again! This can't keep on happening. If you would just let me finish you'd understand why I have Carter in the house. Carter is already in a gang and his enemy is Caleb Rivera. He knows way more about them then we could ever know."
