The Beginning of the End…
Diamond got the kids ready for school but she didn’t rush like usual. She knew the DMV would be crowded no matter what time she got there. The telephone company was sending out someone to install the phone lines so Diamond asked her mother to take the day off. Diamond dropped the kids off at school and went to have
breakfast, which she hardly ever did. The last time she did was when Fats died and she just needed to be alone, to think, to re-evaluate life’s worth. She headed to the DMV after she left the restaurant. She was there by ten o’clock.Surprisingly the lines were short and it wasn’t even crowded, thank God she thought. She looked around because she always saw somebody she knew when she went to the DMV. Diamond saw two familiar faces that left chills running through her body. She couldn’t remember where she knew them from but she knew it wasn’t a pleasant memory. The faces belonged to two women one was tall and thick, the other petite. Both women were well dressed and slightly attractive but at the moment they weren’t too friendly looking. They must have recognized Diamond. As she went to look away one of the women
started to make a call on her cell phone. She hated to stare but she couldn’t keep her eyes off these
women. There was something about them she just couldn’t shake. She paid close attention to the bigger woman because she had the most familiar face and she also was the one who made the call. The smaller woman shot her a look and if looks could kill Diamond would have been dead and buried. She tried to jog her memory of where she knew these bitches from. By now she was tight at the fact that she didn’t know these ho’s and they kept looking at her like they wanted to do battle. She didn’t know why they looked at her with such hatred. She wouldn’t hurt a fly. Bam! It came to her. Those bitches were her wife-in-laws and they were Bamboozles ho’s. Juicy and Queen were walking in Diamond’s direction as if they knew it had come to her who they were. The memories she tried to bury had come flooding back. Her heart was racing, she knew they knew that she had left him for dead or at least had something to do with it. Diamond knew that what you do in the dark always came to light but all she could think was oh God not now.
“Excuse me Ms. You look awfully familiar, is your name Diamond?”
“No you must have me mistaken for someone else.”
“Bitch, don’t play we have a lot of unfinished business to do away with.”
“Remember me bitch, I tried to school you and you do some grimy shit like you did, you better bring your punk ass with us before we drag you out of here cave man style.”
“Well since you’ve made me an offer I can’t refuse.” Diamond tried to be as cool as ice but she was shaking like a leaf and her heart was beating so fast she prayed she have a heart attack right then and there. The ho’s led Diamond out of the DMV across the street to a black Cadillac Escalade truck with dark tinted windows. As they pushed her towards the front passenger side the window rolled down just enough so Diamond could see a pair of eyes. As she approached the truck she had a flash of her son and daughter playing with her mother and than a second flash of Fats reaching out his hand. Her vision was interrupted by a familiar voice and a pair of eyes, like death peering through the cracked window.
“I know you thought we’d never meet again.”
Diamond knew that voice but the only time she thought she’d hear it again was in hell. It was Bam and he wasn’t smiling when he rolled down that window.
“So you fuck me, suck me, try to kill me and just run out on me. Diamond you look real good, but that won’t last long. How is your son, I hope he has a little black suit.”
