1×24 “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang”
Written by: Chris Coleman and Kelly Zollo

DGI

Selina was wearing a off-white pantsuit that fit her better than anything else in her closet. Today she was sure that Cadamus was on the agenda. The leak about the military documents made her chest feel heavy. How did all of that get out to the press? No doubt in her mind that DGI had a mole and they were trying to destroy them. Picking up her briefcase Selina knew that she didn’t make that deal. Not only that but Cadamus implicated DGI into gun trading with active terrorist organizations. This could be treason and she knew Lowell wouldn’t take this lightly. They would have to step in front of the bullet and figure out who or what was causing all these leaks. Slowly walking into Lowell’s office she saw Chauncey sitting with them.

Taking a seat across from her ex-fiance she felt a weird sense of amusement on the entire situation. This however wasn’t a game her name was on the documents. She could get into serious trouble. As she looked at her boss and Chauncey she spoke from her heart. “I’ve spent my entire adult life at DGI. I would never risk something so stupidly as in sending guns to Afghanistan or anywhere in the middle east. I’m sure that I never signed off on this and I apologies for any of this happening. I have a few things we can do to step in front of this and make it look like a simple accident.”

Lowell looked up at Chauncey who he’d been questioning for hours on how this information got into public hands? As he read of the documents Selina had been the one who signed off on the deal. This wasn’t a good for the company let alone Chauncey. This was his deal and now it was looking like this deal would ruin DGI reputation in the global market. “I want to know how this happened Selina and Chauncey. I want to know how you two let this leak to the media and do you know what this means?” He said looking at them. “It’s one of you two. You both understand why you’re here. It’s either Chauncey or you Selina. I don’t want to lose either of you but I’m sorry to say Selina my son stays.”

Selina sat silent for a moment seeing the satisfaction on Chauncey face. How did this happen? Well your son was irresponsible and he possibly was selling weapons to America’s rivals unbeknownst to him. Biting her lip she looked at Lowell and then her ex. “I have put my entire life into DGI. Do you understand that? I have worked for you my entire adult life and I have done exemplary work. I have brought you millions in deals and my work isn’t to be trifled with. Not to say fire him or I but today I’m saying I didn’t do this.” Selina eyes started to water out of shock. “Look I know I hurt you Chauncey and I know I disappointed you all by marrying Braden. I’m still loyal to DGI and I love this company and everything I do. Please don’t do this to me.”

Fairmont Park

Devin looked around the crime scene as the officers worked to do crowd control for he ever merging people that were showing up. As the techs began to gather evidence what a mess of course the only casualty was Kendrick’s but it didn’t have to go down like that. Kendrick had choices he could have made so that he could have been brought in there was no doubt in his mind. He saw Jon still standing there in the middle of the street watching the techs do their job and walked up to him placing his hand on his shoulder. He’d been through alot of shit in the military and Devin knew that, knew how much guilt Jon carried from those days.

“Gideon wants us down at the station to make statements. You did what you had to Jon, Ramirez is going to bag the body pretty soon. I’ll go make sure it’s done by the books if that’s ok with you.” Devin said Jon took the shot if Jon wanted to oversee everything he could that was his job and he wasn’t going to stand in the way of that. He also wanted to let Jon know if he needed to take a break and step back that was good too, in fact judging by the crowds Gideon would likely make that decision for Jon. “Miranda said she’s finishing up down the street and will be right here in a bit too. You need anything?”

“I asked like four times. I think.” Jon said looking at him. “I begged him not to make do that. I didn’t want to take another life again, unless it was someone after my own. Devin you don’t understand what I’ve seen. When um we are in Iraq those SOB’s choose to arm kids with guns. Child soldiers and they aim to kill and are ruthless. I had to kill kids man and I wanted to come home and legit make a change for my community. I didn’t want to do that Devin and it was a clean shot. I told him over and over again.” Shaking his head Jon looked at Devin. “I’m going to lose everything a white cop kills the most beloved black guy in Atlas Falls. They are axing cops for less and here I am killing someone like a idiot. Yasmine said I could have shot his arm or leg. I could have. Why didn’t I shoot his arm or leg?” Jon said punching the patrol car window in front of him.

“Dani was in danger and I had to but I didn’t want to kill anymore Devin. I didn’t want to kill after Iraq I swore no more death. Then I do this.” He said shaking a little. “Look at them.” Jon said watching the crowd of angry people faces emerging. “They aren’t going to see Dani being threatened, they are going to see a white man killing another black man. I don’t see color Devin you know that but God that man was a monster. Why are they here not celebrating this community finally coming together without the looming threat of a drug dealer. They are hating me and I just don’t get it.”

Unknown Location Scottswood Area

Yasmine opened her eyes as she stared at Dani who was tied up next to her. As she rotated her wrist which were tightly bond by rope. Her eyes were puffy due to Dani clearly crying. She was pregnant and that brought fear inside of her. How was she to escape or help Dani? This chick was just all up in the news about a abortion. Clearing her throat she smiled at Dani trying to ease the tension they both felt. If Jackson didn’t come through with those drugs what in the hell were they going to do? Yasmine knew for sure this lady wasn’t or a baby die. She also felt Kendrick wouldn’t either. As she bit down on her lip. “Glad to see you got a little rest.” Yasmine said softly.

“Look I know Kendrick and he’s not this monster Dani. He’s wolfing you know what that means? Like the little boy who cried wolf. Look I’m not trying to justify what he’s done but he’s not a monster. My mother was hooked on drugs when I was younger. She did anything she could get her hands on and smoked up my going back to school money. Man I didn’t have a pair of shoes this man took me shopping at Reginald’s. He wasn’t always like this. He wasn’t a monster because he loved me and my family. My pride did it, I jumped into this world and he has had to act accordingly to me. Do I think he’s foolish for doing some of the things he’s done to me. Absolutely, I do because he’s let the monster inside eating at him.”

Dani looked at Yasmine when she started talking to her the only thing she knew about the girl in front of her was that she dealt drugs to Jackson and was with Rory. Her mind was barely on that it was on trying to keep calm in between all the tears she had cried since this morning, all the fear she felt. Fear that was seated deep inside of her bones at what Jackson was putting her through, putting their unborn child through and for what? That was the most confusing part, what was he possibly hoping to gain by doing any of this? Her hands hurt from being tied behind her back, her head was still pounding from Kendrick hitting her there with his gun earlier. Looking through the cracked doorway at the men outside she wanted to laugh at Yasmine, there was no honor there in that room.

“Not a monster? He broke into my house, held a gun to my head, choked me until one of his goons pulled him off me and then took me from my house. He doesn’t give two fucks about me or my child, you know that and I know that. He’s one of the most wanted criminals in the state murder being something they’ve been trying to get him for for years. I don’t care how much of a family you think he is to you or your mother.” Dani bit out feeling the tears prick her eyes. She’d been in the business long enough to know that the Madden organization was something the governor and local law enforcement had been after for years. Kendrick’s name being the top of their list she shook her head at Yasmine. “You involved Jackson in this why? Pissed he wasn’t scoring from you anymore? That you didn’t get to pull one over on Rory anymore either about it?”

SCOTTSWOOD YMCA

Kendrick looked around the crowded YMCA as the youth basketball team played, watching the ball bounce up and down the court. Watching the people from the hood that he grew up with seeing their boys playing ball. In truth some of those young men would be in the gangs down the line recruited by his own men because that is what they knew, what his men needed to pass the baton when needed to the next generation. Scottwood was going places and it would with him at the helm, soon the drugs would infect the rest of the city and they could turn to poverty and the living conditions that forced Scottswood to become what it was. Taking out his phone he saw the text alert from Rocky who was watching the house he left with no bag meaning they could get in and get the drugs. He went to text Rocky back only to stop when Loco approached him to tell him that Ronan was spotted at the club what the fuck?

He had covered his tracks with the attempt and Loco already told him that Ivan had went back to the club to turn on him back to Ronan. Others in the rally did the same and his heart raced as one of the teams made a basket, Ronan would not be pleased that he took Yasmine. Ronan wouldn’t be pleased with how he treated the girls at the club not to mention Thor would tell him everything about what happened with Philip and Cassie. Yasmine’s words came back at him that he pushed a white man out of power and now that he had that power he was not letting it go. He nodded his head at Loco and then turned around to see Merci enter the gym. He wasn’t even sure he had invited her but she knew about it and seeing how they were seeing each other or fucking, he supposed in a relationship was the right word. It wasn’t crazy for her to be here his throat tightened he had to make her leave. Ronan would want his revenge.

“I wasn’t expecting you to be here. Don’t you have some fancy party to plan for?” Kendrick said hugging her briefly before pulling back. Things had been good between them but he knew in the life he led that it never lasted, it was why he pushed women away after Gina. He wouldn’t see another woman he cared about in a casket and his mind drifted back to Yasmine what was he doing? Yasmine was Gina’s sister, but she had betrayed him by going to Jamal behind his back and giving the stash to Jackson to move. “You really shouldn’t be here right now.”

Merci was a little annoyed that Kendrick didn’t invite her to some community event. Next time she’d help and give this little YMCA event a little class. Looking around the sweaty gym she saw so many faces. The way he approached her she felt like something was off. Playfully she punched his shoulder the man was so much taller than her. A smile appeared on her face. “Look people don’t know me and you are dating. You’ve made that very clear dude so I’m here to support a friend. I want to support the cause. These young men you help deserve and here’s a donation to the YMCA.” She saw a small child run up and hug Kendrick. “He’s adorable.” She smiled as she saw all the love for him and she couldn’t help but wonder why he went into the mob and gangster lifestyle.

FBI SAFEHOUSE

When Jamal walked into the safehouse. He’d texted Yasmine back and informed her she would be free. Not only that but she informed him that Kendrick was going to be on the other side of town tonight. After he checked in he was going to meet Kendrick and finally end everything. Walking through the building he heard his momma screaming at what sounded like was his father. As he opened the door Devin face was flushed with frustration. Shaking his head he knew what was about to happen. They were going freak once they saw him. Seeing his father turn around it was almost instantaneous with rage in his eyes. Jamal had been texting Mason and when he caught Simon punk ass it was a wrap. He was going to beat the hell out of him. His fist bawled up just thinking about it. His father the way he embarrassed Mason he could slap the taste out of dad mouth. Then he’d really be being disrespectful.

As he walked in he went into the kitchen the silence was enough to make him jump out of his skin. His eyes narrowed as he turned to his dad. “What did I do something wrong? Or the two officers who supposed to be watching me? Blame them I went out for some damn air so can everyone calm down?” He knew he had to get out one last time so he had to play this one smart. “And unless any one of you three want to have sex with me. Then I suggest you chill pops and ma. But Mami since you looking so mad at me did you asking what he did to Mason? Or hell let’s discuss why we don’t even talk to Devin side of the family. Like I’m sick of all of this shit being trapped that is.” Jamal grabbed a apple. “I promise I won’t leave I just needed to feel something other than trapped.”

Ophelia gripped the coffee mug in her hands she had called Tony when she found Jamal not in his room again and the panic set in. Tony arrived and they agreed to call Devin before alerting the Feds that Jamal was missing. Her life was falling apart all over again what if the mob go thim? What if Kendrick or Ronan had found out where the safehouse was? What if he was lying in the street bleeding out somewhere or worse what if he had been taken quickly and without them getting to at least say goodbye? Tony’s hand on her back eased her with the fear while Devin debated about what to do or how to find Jamal without risking his deal it wasn’t like could put out an APB on him without them knowing. When Jamal came in the door though she shot Tony and Devin a glare the FBI wasn’t doing their job if he could come and go without being noticed.

“Calm down you aren’t supposed to leave the house, it’s dangerous they are looking for you! I won’t calm down I am your mother and you’re supposed to be here until Ronan and Kendrick are off the streets.” Ophelia said angrily at first and then emotion overcame her as she pulled Jamal into her arms. No tears came though they wanted too her worst fear was not true he was alive, breathing in her arms. Ophelia looked over at Tony at the Mason mention what was going on? “This is not about Devin or anything else do you know how I felt? Thinking that they had you or worse?”

Tony hung his head when Jamal mentioned what was going on with Mason he only had one son now, no one needed to know that just yet. He wasn’t sure if it was shame in how he treated Mason or shame in what Mason was at this point. He know knew though that Jamal knew meaning Selina probably did was well. The issue at the moment wasn’t that though it was Jamal sneaking himself out of the safehouse when he knew there was a bounty on his head. A dangerous bounty no less. He tried to not let that anger show too much he didn’t need another blow up with Ophelia and he shot Devin a look. No they were not close but he knew that as his nephew Devin would look out for his cousin and make sure that Jamal came back at least alive and still had his deal in tact with the Feds.
