Venus walked down with his hair wild and red lipstick on his cheek. “You have something…” I turned back in my seat and pulled out of the garage.
*****
We stood by the warehouse, a little after dark. Venus and I both wore are darkest clothing and the most comfortable shoes we could find. We stood about thirty feet away watching a couple guys load up the truck. “What do you think is in there?”
“I don’t know, but we are here to find out,” Venus held up the camera and made his way to the truck. We stood on one side well the huge men stood on the other side. They were much larger than the both of us and had guns.
I motioned up and it took Venus a couple of seconds to get what I was saying, but eventually he boosted me on top of the truck. I silently crawled to the other side and peered down at the two men. I had to get a good look at what was in the truck and that wasn’t happening with two baboons over here.
I waited till one of them looked away before punching the second one in the neck. It was a good move to knock the person out, but he fell to the ground with a thud. Baboon number two grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down with a yank.
“How did you get here?” he stroked my cheek. Baboon threw me on the ground and put his foot down onto my ankle, breaking the bone. “Because you are not leaving.”
“You are wrong sir,” Venus stood behind him and tapped on his shoulder.
“And what are you going to do?”
Venus didn’t say anything, but his cool confidence did not reach me. He just walked around Baboon and lifted me up bridal style. When Venus turned back around he shoved a cigarette in baboons face and walked away. “You are an idiot.”
“I take that as a complement,” he set me on the ground and rummaged through me back until he found splints. He put them on each side on my foot and wrapped my ankle in gauze. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t there sooner.”
“Your timing was perfect,” I sat up and leaned against the wall. “What are we going to do?”
“You stay here and I will be right back,” He kissed the top of my head. “Don’t move,” he tried giving me a smile before running back to the truck. I could see him where I was, but he was only a speck. I was hidden in the shadows and by the time he hears my scream it would be too late.
I watched him take picture of the truck and the baboons. He stuffed two packages of something in my bag before making his way back over here.
Someone came beside me and covered my mouth. “What a nice surprise.” I looked up into dark black eyes, William’s eyes. He smiled at me and pulled out a small knife.
“I can’t get you now, but I will soon. Trust me I have my ways.” He looked up to see how far Venus was. “I have eyes on you at all times; you say a fucking word about this… I will kill your boyfriend.” He pointed his knife at my hand and drove it through. “This is a fucking warning.”
He slipped back into the shadows, leaving me crying in pain. It took only seconds for Venus to come, but by then blood was all over my clothes. “Robin how did this happen?”
I shook my head and cried out in pain again. Nothing came to my mind, but pain… the only thing I know right now is not to say a word, for Venus’ sake. He lifted me in bridal style again and ran to the car. “I should have never left you there,” he muttered to himself. He kept looking at me from the corner of his eye, tearing slipping down his cheeks. “I will get whoever did this,” he promised to me before turning back to the street. Chapter Five
It was about a week later before Venus let me out of my house and the only reason was to mourn over Henry’s death. You heard me correct. About a month after I was almost rapped Henry died of cancer that no one knew of.
Isabelle was depressed for a long time, still is, but the only thing that keeps her out of the dark side is Margot, Henry and her child. She didn’t find out until after Henry’s death. For nine months, Isabelle loved life, enjoying the sun, but after the baby came… it looked too much like Henry. The eyes the hair, all too familiar.
Isabelle wanted to adopt here, but I made her promise that if she didn’t love the child by the time it was five, I would take her. Sometimes I feel like Isabelle counts down the days.
Venus and I didn’t knock on the door, we just barged in. The house was full of people who all loved and respected him. Everyone was in black clothing, drinking red wine, and telling storied about Henry. It was all too depressing to watch.
“Robbie,” Margot was a little older than one, but already knew how to saw my name. Kind of. It was better than what she called Venus.
“Penis, Penis,” Margot stretched her little chubby arms high in the air, trying to grab hold of Venus. Many people turned their heads to look at us.
“His name is Venus, but Margot doesn’t know how to say it,” I explained. Just in time Margot was reaching for “Penis” again.
Venus picked her up and ruffled her head. “I can’t wait till she knows how to say my name.”
“I kind of like her nickname for you,” I laughed.
“Yeah, well you got Robbie, where as I got-“
“Venus, Robin, I have missed you guys so much,” Isabelle walked into the room. She looked like she had aged about ten years. She was still breathtakingly beautiful, but the life had been sucked out of her eyes, she has grown pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes.
“Isabelle,” I ran into her arms, but it felt like I was hugging a stranger. “Are you drunk?” Isabelle shook her head, but she started to giggle like a teenage girl.
“I might have had a few,” she walked towards Venus and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Was I blind before or have you gotten hotter?” She ran her hand up and down his arm, but he shrugged her off.
“Isabelle, you look good,” he asked more than said.
“Oh you are just too sweet,” Isabelle pulled a little canister from her purse and took a swig. She turned to see me glaring at her, “Oh you wanted some?”
“No, I did not want some,” I looked at the people who was staring at us and pulled Isabelle up the stairs and into the bathroom.
“Whoa slow down, we just met lady. I do not do this kind of thing,” she pulled the strap of her dress up and took another swig. “If you want this,” she motioned to her body, “You need to pay.” Then Isabelle burst into a bunch a giggles again and lightly hit me in the arm. “I’m just pulling your chain, I know who you are.”
“Isabelle, what happened to you?”
“Oh you see, I told the ladies to redo my nails, but the girl said she already did them four times and was not doing it again,” she held up her fingers for me to see. “I wanted them blue or maybe pink… I forgot.”
“No, I am not talking about your nails, “I pushed her hands to her side. “What happened to my fun loving, SOBER best friend.”
“She is out the window, now you have a crazy and wild best friend,” she slipped off her dress and threw it out the window.
“Is everything ok?” Venus called from the other side of the door.
“Could you get me a pair of clothes from her room,” I looked down at the beautiful black dress that just got ran over. “And some water.”
“I could get them,” Isabelle tried to get up, but she fell into the tub instead holding her head. “Why is the earth moving?”
*****
“Thank you for coming,” I escorted the last guest out of the house. I watched them drive down the street before going back upstairs to check on Isabelle. I pushed the door open; Isabelle was on the ground, puke near her mouth, and half her clothes on.
“She will be ok,” Venus came up behind me.
I looked back and forth between Venus and Isabelle, “I hope so.” I sighed and closed the door silently. “Did you see her; she was drunk in front of all her friends and family. How do we not know that she is like this all the time? Maybe she goes out every night and doesn’t come back until the morning,” I started to panic.
“You need to calm down,” Venus grabbed my shoulders and directed me down stairs. “You can’t start judging your best friend like this; she needs you now more than ever.” He sat me down on the couch and sat down next to me, grabbing my hand.
“How did you become so smart?” I leaned my head on his shoulder.
“I’m not smart, you’re just so desperate you would take any advice,” he started making tiny circles on the palm of my hand.
“That is what you think,” we sat in silence for a while, enjoying the peace. I was content just sitting there forever, Venus boiling my body by a couple of strokes on the hand. But it ended to soon when we heard the baby cry from above. “I will get her and you could get the milk.”
We stood and walked away from each other, me going to the kitchen. It was pretty clean and after a couple minutes of searching I found no liquor. I pulled out a bottle of milk and put it in so hot water to warm it up.
I stood in the doorway watching Venus playing with Margot. Margot was on her back and Venus was blowing raspberries on her tummy and cheeks. Margot’s laughs rung through the house, giving it more of a homey feeling than creepy.
“Your good with her,” I walked in and picked Margot up from the floor. I held her in my arms and sat down in a rocking chair by her crib.
“Yeah, well I practically grew up my brother.”
“I didn’t know you had siblings,” I watched Venus kneel down next to me, stroking Margot’s hair behind her ears.
“Yeah, I was actually the second youngest; two older sisters, an older brother, and a younger brother. We were put in the orphanage when I was thirteen,” He gave me a small smile. “You would be a good mother too.”
“Well that isn’t happening for a while,” I silently laughed and looked down at Margot. She had her
