Chapter 12

Something told me to double back and see what was going on at Kaylin’s house. I didn’t know why, but I actually listened to whatever that was. I parked down the street and noticed the car still parked in the driveway. I got out and snuck down to the front of the house so I could see what was going on.
When I made it to the front door, I noticed that the garage door was open, so I quietly made my way over to it. I got pissed off again thinking about how that bitch was living the lifestyle I wanted. I was standing there fuming when I heard screaming coming from the house. Just when I put my ear to the door, I heard someone screaming Mimi’s name. I thought I was tripping at first, but then I heard it again.
I heard some more screaming. Then someone mentioned going to Louisiana. That’s when I hauled ass to my car to wait and see what was going to happen next. When I got in the car, I rolled my window down a bit as I mentally replayed what I heard. I knew Mimi wasn’t in there because she was dead. So why were they in there screaming her name? I didn’t have time to answer my own question because I vaguely saw someone running to the car that was parked in the garage. They jumped in and started it up.
As I watched the scene play out, someone else went to the car, but then he shut the door and started walking out of the garage. When the person exited the garage, I noticed that he was the dark-skinned dude with dreads who was with that bitch Troy. He walked to the car that was parked in the driveway, got in, and started it up. Following him were the light-skinned dude and a chick. When I saw her, I gasped in shock. It was dark, and my eyes were obviously deceiving me because the chick looked just like Mimi. Taking a second look, I damn near bugged out. This chick didn’t just favor Mimi. It was Mimi herself.
“Oh, hell no. I thought she was dead!” I exclaimed. I watched as she got into the car as well, with Troy following close behind.
The car then pulled out of the driveway in a hurry. I started my car and followed them. As I drove along at a safe distance, I tried to figure out how Mimi was actually alive and not dead.
“Fuck!” I screamed, banging on the steering wheel. “I thought this bitch was already dead and gone! Now I got to add her to my list of people to get back at!”
I followed them at a steady but careful pace. I didn’t want them to get suspicious and figure out that I was following them. Ten minutes later, they pulled up to a house, and the passenger’s back door opened.
“What the hell are y’all doing?” I asked softly, as if they could’ve heard me. I watched as dude got out of the car and ran inside, while everyone else stayed inside the car with it still running. I parked my car a few houses down with the engine still on, as I tried to figure out what they were up to. A few minutes later, dude came running out of the house with a bag in his hand. He then walked to the back of the car, placed the bag in the trunk, and got back in. Then they pulled off, and I followed at a safe distance.
The minute they got on the interstate, it confirmed their destination for me. In fact, we were headed to the same place: Louisiana. I guessed they also knew where Kaylin was and they were going after him. I wasn’t about to let them get to him before me though. I quickly switched lanes and picked up speed because, just like them, I was on a mission. This time, I wasn’t about to let Mimi defeat me. I guessed Louisiana was about to get turned up a bit, because I wasn’t planning on leaving without what I came there for.
