Honor Thy Thug - By Wahida Clark Page 0,45

him a few moments to himself. I went down to the cafeteria, bought a banana, and stopped at the nurses’ station.

“What’s taking Dr. Ravi so long to discharge my husband? We’ve been waiting all morning,” I reminded the head nurse.

“I’m not sure. Give me a few minutes, and I’ll look into it for you.”

“Thank you.”

I had to get my husband out of that gloomy-ass room. The walls were caving in on me, and I wasn’t in there 24/7, so I knew they had to be crushing him. I walked straight over to Faheem and gave him a hug.

“I can’t believe she did some bullshit like that,” he mumbled.

“I do. She’s grimy like that.”

“Well, I know she better allow me to bury my son.”

“Baby, let me take her out.” I whispered in his ear to be sure that he heard me. But he didn’t respond. “Faheem, I’m serious. Let me dead that bitch.”

“Jaz, this whole situation has got you trippin’. Why are you even talking like this? Look, stop it. Stop the shit right now. And I don’t want you bringing it up again. Got the nerve to be asking me if you can kill somebody and in the same tone that you would ask me to take you shopping. What the fuck is the matter with you? Go tell them to get the doctor so I can get you the fuck outta here. You talkin’ about me? I think this room is fuckin’ with your head. Go! Get out of here!”

“Faheem, I already told them. And I’m serious. I can do it. She needs to be dealt with, and you can’t do it.”

“What?” He looked at me as if he was insulted. “You forgot who I am?”

“I didn’t mean it like that.”

“I can’t fuckin’ tell.”

“Faheem, you know I would never forget who you are. It’s just that I’m not having this bitch breathing or being able to bring anymore bullshit to my door. Don’t you know I’ll ride for you and die for you? I’ll even kill for you?” I looked at him intensely. And what does he do? The nigga laughs.

“Jaz, just because I’ve been awarded husband and daddy of the year, don’t get it twisted. I have been inducted into the Gangsta’s Hall of Fame. All I gotta do is make a phone call, and Oni and her whole family tree can disappear. So what would it look like if you out there killing people?” Again he laughed. “Stay in your place. I got this. You talkin’ crazy, and we are not having this conversation again.”

“You know what? Fuck you and that broad. I’ma do me! Then you can laugh at that!” I walked out and left his ass in that hospital bed. I could hear him yelling out my name, but I didn’t care. I didn’t want to admit it, but I was becoming obsessed with killing that ho. I couldn’t stop fantasizing about doing the deed, and it was both scary and exciting at the same time. I wanted to feel those same feelings he felt when he killed someone. I wanted to feel it at least once. I didn’t care what Hall of Fame he was a part of.

TASHA

“Call Benny, Tasha.” Trae said to me as they put him in handcuffs and read him his rights.

“What are you charging him with?”

“Attempted murder, ma’am.” Detective Moss answered my question.

“Attempted murder?” I repeated out loud. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Where are y’all taking him?”

“Here you go, ma’am.” Detective Ramos, who was sweating profusely, handed me a card. “There’s all the information right there. We’ll take good care of him. And if you don’t mind me saying, this is a lovely piece of property you have here.”

I wasn’t up for all of the niceties. I snatched the card and called Benny as they were walking Trae to the squad car. His voicemail clicked on, and I dialed the office phone to get his secretary, Jillian.

“Law offices of Buns and Pratt, how may I direct your call?”

“This is Tasha Macklin. Is Benny available?”

“He’s gone for the day.”

“What about Jillian?”

“Please hold.”

“Mommy, where are they taking my dad?” Shaheem asked.

“This is Jillian.”

“To court, baby, he’ll be right back. Hello, Jillian? This is Tasha Macklin. They just took my husband, Trae, away in handcuffs.”

“For what?”

“The detective said for attempted murder. I need Benny to see what’s going on. They gave me a card naming who to contact. Are you ready?”

“Mommy, they had Daddy in handcuffs?” Kareem asked while pulling
