Page 27 of I’m So Mega

From what I pulled on her son, he played football and basketball for the junior varsity team at the high school.

That told me that he had skills because he was in eighth grade.

It also told me that he more than likely would have an agent that kept busy paying out settlements to women he sexually assaulted if he went pro.

He had an entitlement already when it came to being told no.

Based on his mother’s financial records, she spent a lot of money on his sports equipment, camps, and just him.

She worked during the day as a customer service agent for a health insurance company, and by night, she was an exotic dancer.

The club she worked at specialized in coochie sales.

If you knew, then you knew. Her day job barely broke thirty thousand a year.

Most of her income came from pussy sales, I assumed, and dancing.

“Her house is cute,” Mekole casually said. “It’s almost a pity to burn it down. I would have definitely purchased it from her estate and flipped it.”

It was three in the morning. The mother and son were asleep comfortably in their beds.

Shanti had only been to sleep for about an hour after her male caller left, but Payton went down at around ten.

Cameras were placed in the house earlier today when they were out.

The lock on her house was a normal key, so that was an easy entry.

Taelyn disarmed her alarm remotely. Perc, who was Codeine’s daughter, gave us a lil concoction that would paralyze them, but they would still feel everything.

The plan changed a little because Ned wanted them to feel pain.

If they passed from carbon monoxide, then they wouldn’t feel those flames on their asses.

Mekole was going to put her electrician skills to work tonight.

The cause of the fire would be an electrical problem that caused a gas issue that would later cause an explosion.

I wasn’t sure how that worked, but if anyone could do it, it was that crazy woman.

“Fuck that house. Are we ready?” Ned was over it, and I understood.

Fiona laughed. “Yeah, let’s go. Croy and TJ’s asses are getting restless like they’re here with us and not at their respective homes.”

We climbed out of our unmarked car to make our way to the house. All the cameras in the vicinity had been disabled as well. As far as anyone would be concerned, if the footage was reviewed, it was a peaceful night.

It took no time to gain entry to the residence.

Ned and I planned to move Payton to his mother’s bed.

Based on our one-day surveillance, he slept in her bed when she wasn’t whoring herself.

I didn’t judge that either because there was a time that I did as well when I was younger.

It was like your mama’s bed was always more comfortable than your own.

Fiona and Mekole went to Shanti’s room, while Ned and I went to Payton’s. I stopped Ned before he went to the room. “Aye, you can’t beat this lil boy up. They can’t be bruised when it’s all said and done with. We need this clean.”

“I know, man. This is personal, but I’m not sloppy with this either.

Let’s get this done because I don’t want Kellie to wake up and I’m not there.

” Ned told me earlier that Kellie slept in their bed the night everything came to light and tonight.

Shan reached out to Draco for the connection to the therapist.

This was my brother from another mother. We’d been through so much together, and regardless of how painful some of those things were, I wouldn’t change it for anything. I patted him on his back. It all was a part of our story. “Let’s go, Bubba.”

We slid into Payton’s room with our guns drawn.

Payton slept on his back, with his mouth wide open.

I closed my eyes when Ned put the gun in this young man’s mouth.

I would advise him otherwise, but I would have done the same.

I told him not to beat him up, but I would have.

I chuckled when Ned said “wakey, wakey” in a taunting tone.

I didn’t know eyelids could stretch as much as Payton’s did when he realized what the situation was. He couldn’t do anything but mumble some screams. The front of his sheets became wet. Awe, poor lil Tink Tink pissed himself.

“Look, I’m going to take this gun out of your mouth. If you scream like the bitch that I know you are, I’m going to shoot you. Do you understand?”

He nodded as tears ran freely down his cheeks. The air in the room froze over when the gun was removed. He wanted to scream but was too scared to.

Ned patted his forehead with his gloved hand. “Good boy. Let’s get up and go to your mama’s room. I know you couldn’t sleep in there tonight because she was whoring her lil pussy out. Come on!”

Payton jumped before he flung the wet covers back to climb out of the bed. The smell of the urine finally reached my nose. “Ah, hell no! Boy, you’re an athlete! How does your piss smell like ammonia? You don’t drink water?”

His eyes bounced from me to Ned with the unsaid question of whether to answer. “Um, yes, sir. I do.” He swallowed hard. “Why are y’all doing this?”

“Walk and you’ll find out soon,” Ned instructed. He pushed Payton in the back to get him moving. The walk to his mama’s room was very short.

“Payton! Oh my God! Please don’t hurt my son!” Shanti reached out for her son.

Ned allowed him to run to his mother. He hugged her tightly. “Mommy!”

“Shut that baby shit up. Your ass wasn’t a baby when you sexually assaulted my niece,” I said. Granted, he was still a little boy; however, he was too old to have his ways changed when it came to acts like these. I would bet all my riches that Kellie wasn’t his only victim.

Shanti shook her head. “No, what are you talking about? My son would nev?—”

“I will literally slap the shit out of you if you sit your ass there and act like you didn’t know that your son was a young pedo,” Mekole blurted.

“Let me ask you this. What was the conversation when you told your son that sometimes girls need a little convincing and push to make them realize that they do want it? What exactly is that, bitch?”

Shanti sat there for a split second, stuck in her sickness. “It was just to help her realize that she did like him. That was it.”

Fiona’s head tilted. “I don’t believe you, Shanti. Let’s for fuck sake say that was true. Payton, is that how you took that advice?” She put her gun to Shanti’s head who whimpered. “Payton, if you lie, I will know, and I will kill your mother. Are we clear?”

“Yes, ma’am! I asked my mama how to make Kellie keep her word. At the dance, she said she would kiss me, then changed her mind. She’s not allowed to do that. My mama said some girls need a push,” Payton confessed with actual confidence.

My head fell back. “Please say it ain’t so. There is no way that you just said that.” My head snapped back to glare at his mother. “Say, who is this boy’s pappi?”

When she said that his father wasn’t in his life, Fiona smacked her on the back of her head. “Girl, that was not the damn question. I bet you have wax buildup in your ears. You look like the type to not properly clean your ears. The question for your non-listening ass was who was his father.”

“His father was my best friend’s father. When it came out that he was messing with me and I was pregnant, they moved. I never saw them again. My mother made me have Payton to remind myself every day that I was a whore.”

Damn, that was messed up on so many levels. I didn’t care how promiscuous you thought a child was, there was something else at play. That man more than likely wasn’t the first grown ass man to mess with her either.

Mekole gasped, then stepped to Shanti’s side to grab her hand with her gloved one.

“That is so heartbreaking, and I am so sorry that happened to you. So many people failed you, and that should not have happened. Now we are here at a crossroad of what to do. Well, not really, because both of you are going to die tonight. I just feel that you need to know why. Ned, take it away.”

He bowed his head to Mekole. “First, did you touch my fucking daughter in her no-no place? That’s the first thing I want to know, and a nod will do.

” After Payton hesitantly nodded, Ned’s jaw looked like it would break from the tightness.

“Is she the first girl that you had to push to keep their word?” Ned’s head shook after Payton’s head did the same. “Yeah, you got to go.”

When Ned glanced at me then Fiona, we took the syringes that were already in our hands and stuck them under their bottom lips. That was where Mekole told us to inject them. Almost immediately, their bodies limped for us to position them in a lying down position.

“Now, as a result of failures across the board, it caused you, Shanti, to ill advice your son. It’s understood that no one ever taught you that you are able to change your mind.

My homegirl here is going to take care of the rest of this.

I wish you both fiery death and hellish nights.

” Ned lightly hit the back of my chest with the back of his hand. “Let’s get out of here.”

We both walked out of the room, settled. Something caught my eye when we walked past a partially opened closet. I stopped and opened the closet door. “Awe, shit.”

“Mega, leave those fuckin’ candles there. Nobody has time for your bullshit today!” Well damn!

I rolled my eyes before I closed the door. “Man, whatever. I wasn’t even talking about those candles. She had that warm vanilla scent that my baby loves. That scent is hard to find. It’s always sold out.”

He stared at me for longer than I felt he should have. “Let’s fucking go.”

We left the house to sit in the car until the ladies were done.

Mekole planned to do something to the wiring in the kitchen or gas line or something.

I was half listening during that part of the plan.

All I needed to know was that they would die.

We sat in the car in silence for a few minutes.

“Aye, you think the fire is going to intensify that ammonia smell?”

Ned’s body shifted in his seat to face me. “Do you have to be Mega like all the time? Is there an off button or a level button on your ass?” He chuckled at his own idiotic question because he knew that there was neither.

“Nedrick, you’ve known me far too long to ask questions like that. Even with all the changes that Big G has taken me through, He’s never and will never change the core of my awesomeness.” I shrugged my shoulders. “What can I say? I guess I’m just so Mega.”
