Red sits at his desk and reminisces as he looks at the envelope which lies open on his desk.
At the pictures.
Damn!!!
Again and again.
This shit continues to happen.
His mind goes back in time to when he had a family or the American version of it anyway.
Two children and a woman...some land. A life.
He had loved that woman with all his heart and his version of the story always ended with them growing old together.
Playing with their grandchildren together.
He remembered the day that had all come crashing down around him.
She had cheated before and Red had expected it.
Coming from where he had come from he had helped many women to cheat in his youth. He also knew the tricks that women used. He had women friends growing up and they taught him plenty of the tricks used by women to fool men.
He had also received lessons from his dad about women.
One thing about growing up in bars and holes in the walls you learn a lot about women.
His dad always had taken any opportunity to teach him about women but the one thing that had been drilled in him from his youth was the idea that you never hit a woman.
It was so deeply ingrained that he had never in fact hit a woman.
Red sighs and sits back and places his hands together and thinks back to another time in his life.
He hears his mothers voice as she warned him about his ex time and time again and he also remembers wanting this life so much that he ignored her.
Reds mother was a little different in a lot of ways and she practiced a lot of the old ways. The magic and mysticism of the old world. Red had been schooled in these arts and had turned his back on them, yet they were also a part of him.
His dreams were sort of prophetic and he also just knew things, like when people died that he knew. When a woman close to him was pregnant.
From his youth his mother had warned Red of his power, he was the first man in his family to inherit these abilities in 7 generations.
He thinks of the days he spent with his children when they were younger and how he had alway tried to be the rock of their lives.
He remembers back to when his ex went north for the summer and took his kids away. He remembers how hollow he had felt. How he knew when she had cheated as it came to him in a dream and when he called her the next day and told her that he knew, she had broke down and told him it was true.
He had lost so much weight that summer that when his children saw him they did not know who he was at first.
He had accepted her back.
One night he began to have troubling visions and he began to pay more attention to his ex and had found out that she was getting out of bed late at night and early in the morning.
He walked into the bathroom on one of these nights and caught her on the phone before she could give warning he had snatched the phone and the voice he heard on the other line had hit him like a ton of bricks.
It was his best friend from high school and he and Red had grown up together in the same projects.
Red thinks about how angry he had felt how betrayed and he had smashed the phone on the floor and told her to leave his house.
He would not let her take the kids and she left and came back with her father and grandmother and still he told them that his kids were going nowhere.
Her father was also Reds friend and he said "Leave them girl you know he loves them children."
Red had kept the children for about two weeks when his mom called him, bt this time he was in so much mental agony that everything that he did he did as a robot.
She heard his voice and knew...she just knew and she told him that his ex had been calling her and that no child should be seperated from its mother if she wanted them and she said you have been a good man Red but you have to be strong now.
When Red had bought his house he had said that it was for his children and he had meant that. Over the next few days Red got things together and talked to his children he wanted them to know... To remember.
He packed his things and called his job, called his mother, and called her and he waited as she came down the road and handed her the keys to the house.
She had tried to talk to him but he knew that he could never trust her again.
Why waste the words?
He walked away and it was 5 years before he saw his children again.
He had ended up right back where it all started. In Georgia.
Red was close to one of his uncles and that who he went to stay with.
His house was deep in the woods and Red needed that he had arrived but he was carrying so much pain that all he wanted to do was lie there day after day.
One day his uncle came in the room and said "Son you think you are the first man to go through this?"
Red looked at his uncles face and instantly he remembers what his uncle has been through. He sees it in his uncles eyes and he overstands.
His uncle waited as Red got up and dressed and they walked out of the door to feed the goats.
It was many years before Red ever fully let a woman get to know him.
All these things ran through Reds mind as he looked at the things that the envelope contained and the implications of these things.
He kind of expected part of this but not all of it and he remembers to thank Dead Meat.
he stands up and walks to the door and tells the soldier on duty to go and get Rosemarie and the Spook and bring them to him.
Minutes later there is a knock on the door and Rosemarie and the Spook enter . They both sut down and Red looks at them as he says "I am going to be away for awhile so I am going to need you two to make sure that things are going according to plan.
Rosemarie looks at him with a bewildered look.
"What do you mean away Red?
"I mean away."
The Spook is Reds right hand man and he knows that something is up and he says "Man Red whats up?
Red looks at him and says "I just have to take care of some personal things thats all."
The Spook looks at him with a question in his eyes but not on his tongue and he asks another. "So who is going with you Red?"
"Nobody and I better not be followed. This is personal."
He looks at them as he says "I mean that."
"I will leave soon and I will leave you instructions when I do."
He dismisses them and the Spook stands to leave but Rosemarie stays seated and Red knows that this is going to get ugly as the Spook walks out of the room and closes the door.
When Rosemarie hears the door close she says "What the fuck do you think you are doing Red? This is no game that you can bow out of at any time...Redddd. She draws out his name and Red feels her frustration in the air.
"Red you are one dumb ass man to be so smart."
You on some stupid shit right now Red. you got that woman working in this building and now you talkin bout leaving and going where? Who knows cause Red is on his own damn planet. well Red you better get ...your... shit... together and wake the hell up. You will take someone with you Red... you hear me. and you better be nice to them."
She stands and walks out of the room and slams the door.
Red sit back in his seat and says "Damn that woman has got some fire."

STAY TUNED CAUSE PART 25 IS BOUT TO GET FUNKY AS HELL.
