Page 77 of I Heard It All Before

“She’ll be okay. It ain’t like she paid for the shit. Isis knows how to handle her,” Imani replied while seeing the two of them out.

Imani waited out front with Demi, while Cam went and got Demi’s car. The sisters hugged again, right before Demi and Cam pulled off.

“You good baby?” Cam asked as he grabbed Demi’s hand and drove up on the bridge with the other.

“Yeah, but I want that bitch again. That was so foul what she did, Cam. What if Kamari would have come to that restaurant and killed us or something?” Demi said right as shots rang out, shattering her back window.

“Shit!” Cam yelled as he swerved in another lane, barely missing another car.

“Somebody’s shooting at us Cam!” Demi screamed as she ducked down in her seat.

“Just stay down Demi. These muthafuckers are crazy,” Cam said as he slumped down in his seatand weaved in and out of lanes.

He looked in the rearview mirror and saw a motorcycle following them at a rapid speed. The person was having a hard time driving and trying to shoot at the same time.

“That’s Kamari! Oh, God! He’s trying to kill me,” Demi cried when she looked up and recognized her husband on his motorcycle.

“Stay down Demi. I’m about to get off this bridge and get to a less isolated area. That nigga ain’t dumb enough to be out here shooting with a bunch of witnesses around,” Cam said as he got off on the Tchopitoulas St. exit.

He sped towards the convention center with the motorcycle still on his tail. Thankfully, he hadn’t fired any more shots, but Demi still stayed down low. When Cam got closer to Canal St., he was relieved when he saw the motorcycle turn down one of the side streets. He was happy that Canal St. was an area that stayed lit, especially on the weekends. The tourists and locals littered the streets in front of Harrah’s Casino, as Cam drove around the block a few times to make sure they were safe.

“Are you okay baby?” Cam asked as he pulled Demi across the seat and onto his lap. He parked in front of the Canal Place mall, a well-lit, heavily populated area.

Demi was shaking nervously, but she nodded her head, saying that she was fine.“I don’t wanna go home Cam,” Demi replied.

“What do you mean?” he asked her.

“What if Savoy told him where we live?” Demi asked while looking up into his eyes.

“Did you tell her where we live?” Cam questioned.

“No, Cam, but she’s my cousin. What if somebody else mentioned it unintentionally? My mama talks to her mama all the time. She could have mentioned it, not knowing that bitch Savoy was a snake,” Demi said.

“Well, where do you wanna go Demi? I gave up my apartment and you don’t like hotels,” Cam reminded her.

“I don’t know, but I’m scared,” Demi sniffled.

“You wanna go spend a few days by my mama? Her house is big enough and she won’t mind,” Cam suggested.

“Yeah, we can do that. We’ll need clothes and stuff though. And what about my car? My window is shattered and it probably has bullet holes in it.”

“I can fix that in one day, Demi. Did you forget what I do for a living?” Cam asked.

“What about clothes?” Demi asked.

“I’ll go get us some,” Cam replied.

“No Cam, don’t go there tonight. I don’t want you to go by yourself at all,” Demi panicked.

“I have to go tonight Demi. I’ll go get Kobe to come with me while you stay with Lacey,” Cam said.

“Okay, let’s go Cam. I feel weird being out here with all these people with a shot out window,” Demi admitted.

She went back to her side of the car, while Cam pulled off and drove towards Lacey’s house. He was so sick of Lo acting like a lil lovesick bitch, and he was ready to put a bullet in his head. The bad part about that was he didn’t know where Demi’s house was and he didn’t want to raise suspicions by asking. He didn’t even know where Lo hung out at. He was always so low key and that was working in his favor. That nigga needed to get dealt with because he was going too far. Cam wasn’t worried about himself anymore; his concern was more for Demi.
