Chapter 1 “Banks”

“You’ll be back. It’s only a matter of when,” the redneck, tobacco chewing sergeant smirked as he reluctantly unlocked the gates to my freedom. For as long as I’d known him, he’d always taken pleasure in blatantly flaunting his racist views against people of color.

“Your mama will have a bed up in here before you see me again bitch.” I shot back defiantly as I slid through the gate and headed for the car that awaited me in the parking lot. Opening the passenger side door, I tossed my bags into the back seat before sliding into the car beside my wifey. Before we go any further, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Theodore Banks, more widely known as “Banks.” Although most of my lady friends call me Teddy. Today is my first day out, after being incarcerated for the last four years in the North Carolina Department of Corrections for Second Degree Murder. My original sentence of sixteen to twenty years was only recently reduced to four, thanks to some hard - earned drug money, a greedy ass District Attorney, and one helleva fuckin lawyer. Being that North Carolina has no self-defense laws, the only possible help I could receive after the filing of a Motion for Appropriate release by my attorney, was to reduce the charge to Voluntary Manslaughter, and have me re-sentenced in the mitigated range. And now I’m free! Me and my wifey about to go do some serious fucking! Look at that thick, chocolate motherfucker right there. She loves a nigga too.

“Damn baby can a girl get some love?” My wifey cooed,

leaning in to embrace me as if reading my thoughts.

“Shit girl, you know you got a whole lot more than some love coming,” I smiled as I squeezed one of her milk chocolate brown titties through her Baby Phat t-shirt and slid my tongue in her mouth.

“Oooh baby! You gone make me cum before we leave the parking lot!” She panted with unmistakable hunger in her eyes. Turning in my seat, I noticed the dick head sergeant still standing out front. Watching me. Deciding to give him something to remember me by, I rolled the tinted window down just enough to get my arm out, and shot up my middle finger just as we pulled away. Time was wasting.
