"Well who did it don't leave us hanging!" Hayla shout in rage.
"You better tell us!" Annia and Annay said at the same time.
"How could you know?" Kat said looking spectacle.
"Yes. Even though you were talking a little at the time, you just turn six and still you could only say a few words." Kate said to me in a small voice.
"Yeah." Ron and Mon said in union.
"There right Wayna." Kinto said to me. "How could you know?"
I look at them all and look down. I walk to the other side of the room and remove a floor board. In the floor board I had an automatic, hand gun, silencer, glock nine and a AK 47. Also more packs of bullets then I could count.
Being a weapons dealer daughter has it perks. In the middle of the bottom of the hole was a brown box.
That didn't seem to bother my friends because they had the same thing in there house. "That night after Christmas I had just gotten a camera and my dad took me to his friend house. He was there on business. It was late and I manage to sneak outside." I said to them opening the box and took out an old video camera. I turn the camera on. "I walk a few blocks I saw this." The tape played and my friends all came closer to look in anticipation. On camera the screen show what was recorded all those years ago. I must have looked on this a hundred times and every time it's the same reaction.
The tape shows Salla being back into an ally by Officer Kahamu with a gun in his hand. Some of my friends look shock, others angry and some hurt.
"Officer Kahamu what are you doing?!" you could hear the dread in her voice. "Why are you doing this to your friends? With my mom?"
"You're in the way Salla." He said. You could see Salla face clearly. You can see every bit of confusion, shock and fear. She did not want to die. You could see the camera shaking from me holding it. "If you just been a good bitch instead of being a hero."
"Wait! What!?WHAA!" She screeches in horror.
"Bang!" That was all you could hear. We all watch as she fell to the dirty ally dead. The moon light shines on her cold dead eyes. The camera was shaking because I was shaking in fear.
"Baster!" Annia sneer looking like she was about to jump thru the camera and strangle him.
"I knew I should have finished him off!" Hayla growls piss off.
"Well, he's a dead man." Annay said looking at the screen. "Let's just kill him now."
"Salla!" Mon said as he cried on his twin shoulder. Ron just looks piss off as hell as he held his twin.
"Son of a Bitch!" Raze went in anger.
"HUU!" Kate went with a gasp with more tears in her eyes then before. Kinto just look livid and seething rage then I ever saw him in my life.
That when everything in my life went wrong. Before I could react I drop the camera in a tremor from seeing the murder. I kick it my mistake under the car. All my friends could see now was my feet and hear a deep angry voice.
"Hey!" Big foot steps could be heard as it came into view. I remember the day very well. I was too much in shock to run my eyes cried rivers and I was in too much tremor. He grabs me by my upper arm and has a good look at me. "He." He laughs. "You Wayne's daughter. The mute one and to think I might had to kill you." He then squeezes my arm even tighter looking into my tear streak eyes. "You see what I did there?" I nod my head. "See how easy it was to kill her? They won't be able to pin me for this kid. I'm going to get away with it kid." He said with a smile like he was telling his friend something exciting. "You want to know something else? If you tell anyone about this just think how easy it will be for me to get to your little friends. So you better keep your mouth shut." He threw me down when he said that. "So when you start talking you keep your mouth shut. Or don't it's you're a mental patient anyway." He then walks off as if it was nothing.
All my friends could hear was what he said to me and all they could see was me being thrown to the ground. I remember the look on his face from that day and the malice of pure malicious in his voice. It was something I could never forget.
Most people think crimes don't get solve because no one cares. Truth is told there more afraid to come forward then anything. Most parents' tell their children not to say anything. That it's not there business. In my opinion it might because there more scared then anything. They believe that the system does not care about them. In some truth it's true in more ways than one.
For me I'm in the middle. I always felt police don't mean to come across as a bunch of ruthless evil people hiding behind a badge. We all have to remember that there people just like us. From the community and often society view point there are a number of things they could do or try to do before pulling the trigger. Due to this view point there is a lot of distrust in me when it comes to trying to trust the police force as a whole.
Maybe if police try to do more besides going to meetings and try to explain their view point. If they try to bring more criminals down with less brutality there can be change. The community won't change by words alone, but by actions. As far as right now this tape only made my friends hate Officer Kahamu more than anything. For a moment no one spoke just look angry and hurt. Then before anyone else Hayla broke the Ice.
"Why the hell didn't you tell the police or take this evidence to them?!" Hayla scream at me. "How could you let that baster get away with it!?" I look down with guilt.
"Hayla stop." Raze hold Hayla arm and she jerk away from her.
"Yeah it's not her fault." Annia said with a sympathetic look.
"She was young and couldn't speak much." Annay said to her.
"NO! That baster murder her and even if he threaten you! You should have told one of us! You could have shown us that tape! You didn't and you did-"she was then cut off by me screaming.
"I was scared OK!" Hayla then went quit. Hayla knew I barely scream and was slow to anger. She would tread lightly. "I was a little girl ok! When no one was looking he would always threaten me! Telling me just how easy it would so easy for him to hurt you guys! He would do demonstrations! He would always stalk us walking to school and you guys would always ask why! It has gotten so bad to the point where he didn't have to say anything or even follow. He just needed one look and that would have been enough."
"But you're the bravest person we know." Annia said looking at Annay. "You would always stand up to the bully's. You even stood up to him."
"Either that or Hayla and Raze would be in detention for beating the bullies up." Annay said to me.
"Well I was scared not stupid. He a cop. I believe at the time he could get away with anything." I said to them putting my camera back in the box and taking out tape cassettes and pictures. "From that day on I hated him! So I would follow him whenever I could and tape him takes loads of pictures. Also take documents out of his trash." I pass the pictures and documents to my friends.
They look at the pictures in anger and disgust. Some were him beating up people. Other of him paying people off with well know criminals or thugs. The documents show records of things and private dealings.
"Why now?" Kinto said looking at me. "You've been collecting evidence against him all these years. Why didn't you come to turn in all you knew and had?"
"Kinto right Wayna." Raze said to me.
"This is more than enough evidence to bring him to justices." Annia said to me. "We know he's a killer and know that he killed people who were close to us."
"She's right you know." Annay said to me looking angry. "You should know more than anyone. You witness one of his murders yourself."
I look at Annay with anger but I knew she was right. Kinto finally spoke. "Enough." he said. "What stop you now from bringing the son of a bitch justices?"
I look at him serious and then all my friends. I had two very good reasons though. Two very good reasons. "Because he is a cop guys. To bring a cop down you're going to need a lot of evidence. No one's going to listen to the girl who could barely speak and who has to take pills. The more serious reason I was scared. I was more afraid in my life than I ever was. I was just too small and weak. I was afraid for you guys and my family. I was trying to protect you guys." I said looking at them all then turn my gaze to Kinto seriously. "All of you."
"This must put us in danger now." Ron said pointed out to me.
"Yeah what makes you risk us all now?" Mon said raising his hand.
"Yes. You had to have a reason." Kinto said looking at me. "What's your reason?"
I look at him with significance and anger for someone else. I turn for him and walk to the middle of the room and to my desk. On the desk was a picture of all of us as kids. Bradie with her dress on and blue eye. I smile and the grief pulls at my heart. Then rage and anger filled it. "He gave me a reason."
"What reason?" Kinto Said to me. I could hear the anger rise in his voice.
"He promises me he would not hurt Bradie or any of you guys! All I had to do was keep my mouth shut and I did. He still hurt her any way. That was his only card in keeping me silent. He lied more times than I can count. That one promises he broke. The one lie he told." I said seething rage. "Is enough to break the dam. Me keeping my mouth shut is not us. I should have seen it sooner and due to my fear, Bradie in the comma. I'm done being afraid. I will not run anymore because some punk is in power. I will not keep my mouth shut and I won't live in fear."
"So what are you going to do?" Hayla ask me with a crazy smile, her eyes wide in crazy glee. "Start a riot?"
"God I hope so." Raze said with a insane smile of her own.
"We could get into a lot of trouble." Annia said looking at Annay.
"Lots of it." Annay said looking back at her friend. "Better make it count Annia. What about you Kat and Kate are you in?"
"He you guys are nuts if you think I'm not going to take an opportunity to take down a crooked cop." Kat said with a smile. "Right Kate?"
"Yes. I will like to see justice done for once." Kate said bravely in a soft voice.
"Well that's as brave as were going to see Kate now." Ron said plainly. "Is anyone going to ask us if we're going to help? We are independent now. You know."
"Yeah we do have a mind of our own you know." Mon said looking just as coolly as his twin. "We don't always think like everyone else."
Raze roll her eyes and shook her head. "Then what would the two twins like to do?"
"Why would you ask us that Raze? Don't be stupid." Ron said to her like she should have known better. Raze just look like she wanted to choke them. Hayla just look on with an amusing smile. "Of course we will help our brother. Why would you even ask that?"
"Yeah we families have to stick together." Mon said with a mischievous smile. "I told you she was weird Ron." Raze was about to beat the day light out of them. I motion my hand to stop her. Ron and Mon both chuckle with a smile.
"Now let's get back on topic." Kinto said seriously and annoyed. "Do you have a plan Wayna?"
I smile a deep evil smile. "Yes I do and this is how it go." My friends all lean in for information about the plan. They all had evil smiles now. Well everyone but Kate. Kate always looks nice in fact she look a little shock.
