Chapter 25: This is Ours
Winston Jerome was a very happy man. Everything was going according to plan. People seem to like the Launch Party for the Winston Jerome channel that was going to feature all of his plays, movies and TV shows. There will be extra specials included and his cast was brilliant. They did everything he could ask for. And his shirtless men, well let's say they will be getting special treatment when they return to the compound. Winston smiled, oh yes they will be getting something special when they all return. He could rule the media world once and for all.
The last act was currently wrapping up their skit for the night, leaving Winston to prepare for the date of the Launch. He was excited to say the least. This is what he wanted, for people to believe in the power of Jesus and the programs he created. The Reverend Rollo Lovegood and Cairo Jefferson were good assets. The Reverend wanted his own show and Winston was still thinking about it. He wasn't what he wanted in a partner but he promised but he would have control over him soon enough because the man was a media whore.
Cairo was perfect with the murders.
But once everything was up and running, Cairo will died as well.
He couldn't wait any longer. He must show the world the power he now has. No one will stop him now.
Winston walked onto the stage as people stood up and clapped for him. He waved to his fans, people who love his work.
"Thank you everyone for being here tonight. Tonight is a special occasion to the world. Tonight we are launching our network," he said.
Everyone hollered and clap, excited about getting a new network being launch.
"As everything you have seen tonight will be on our network. All of the plays, movies and television shows will be on our network. So you may enjoy at your… pleasure."
Pleasure he thought, That's how he felt about all of this. This was his dream and it was coming true.
"So everyone I will announce the launch of our new network. The Winston Jerome Channel!" he said with his hands above his head as the projector with the logo they would be using on the channel. He felt powerful as everyone claps and cheered. It was now a reality and nothing can stop him. Well.
Suddenly the screen when blank with the lights and mics going out. Leaving everything in darkness.
"Will someone please turn on the fucking lights!" he shouted.
A single spot light went on Winston. Showcasing that he is now centre of attention.
"Will someone put on the fucking mic?!"
But the mic never turned on. The screen started to come alive. Flashes of images were going to fast for the naked eye to see what the images were. They flashed until one word stood out.
Liar, yellow lettering appeared.
Than another.
Thief, green lettering shown through.
A third came on.
Murderer. The letters were in Red.
The screen blacked out again.
"What the fuck is going on?" Winston shouted. What were these people playing at?
Than another word revealed itself.
Truth, in white lettering.
The Truth will be shown tonight. The liar, thief and murderer will be expose.
It started off with news reports on Dewey Sharpe and his murder. Since he was the first victim it was only right to show what he supported. It show his group and how he made a difference. Dewey's vision may live on in the others of people.
Than all of the victims that has been apart of the SOHO network and others begin to flash through the screen. All with the red writing of murder.
Suddenly, it showed a footage with Winston and his shirtless men having a orgy. Winston wanted to throw up. He didn't think anyone could get pass his security network beside that asian guy he had killed. But the words liar written in yellow came across the screen. Showing the world he lied by hiding the fact he was also gay.
People were disgusted in the theatre.
Tom and Sarah Dubois, who were some in the audience was shock. They had always supported Winston Jerome. But this? This was unreal.
Than the worst happen. All of his finance records were shown across the screen. With everything he had done in the pass few years. Everything was highlighted with the transactions he made. How he didn't even pay some of his taxes to the IRS. He knew he was fucked.
"Who the fuck is doing this?!" Winston said in tears. The backlights from the stage created a silhouette on the right side of the stage. Winston knew who this man was.
"Riley Freeman? You were behind all of this?" he said laughing.
The Riley didn't say anything as Winston still laughs.
"You wanted the revenge of your brother? To risk losing your life? You truly are pathetic."
"Who ya calling pathetic ya uncle Tom."
Winston froze and turned to the other side of the stage. The real Riley Freeman was standing right here.
Winston turn to the other side, the other 'Riley' took out a katana and stood there, as if he was waiting for battle.
The screen came alive again but with the hit list. The white writing of Truth came onto the screen.
There were names that stood out to Winston.
Michael Casear - Living.
Huey Freeman - Living.
Hiro Otomo - Living.
Ming Otomo - Living.
Tia Caesar - Living.
Donte Caesar - Living.
Jazmine Freeman - Living.
Rosa Freeman - Living.
All the names on the hit list still alive. How can that be? It must be a lie.
"BROOKLYN! How is my town tonight?"
The crowd was shock. There was no way MC Caesar is alive. People were talking among themselves not believing if he was alive or not.
"Yo Hiro! Hit that beat."
Hiro was standing under the light of the DJ booth. Hiro has been waiting for this moment. His passion, his love and his dream was coming alive. He hit that track he had been working on. This was a masterpiece.
"I am the stone that the builder refuse. I am the visual. The inspiration that make ladies sings the Blues."
Caesar came down the centre aisle performing his heart out. The crowd went wild, now knowing the truth of Caesar's proof of living was indeed real. The crowd pull out their cell phones, recording the return of MC Caesar.
"I am the spark that makes your ideas bright. The same spark that lights the dark. So you can know the left from your right."
Caesar walked up onto the stage as both Huey and Riley joined him on stage.
"I am the ballot in your box. The bullet in the gun the inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son. The story just begun, the promise what's to come. And I will remain a soldier until the war is won!"
The crowd was going wild. Loving the new music Caesar and Hiro made for this night. Caesar walked up to Winston and got in his face.
"Judo flip… Chop Chop Chop," Caesar finished, dropping the mic on Winston foot. Caesar turn around to his fans, who were crying and chanting his name. But gave props to his boy, Hiro, Riley and his best friend, Huey.
Huey turn to Winston, who couldn't believe that the guys were alive.
"This ends tonight Jerome," Huey said, staring right at him.
"You destroyed so many lives that you will pay. You try to kill me, my brother, my friends. But most importantly, our families. You put a hit out on our kids you fucking bastard."
The crowd was disgusted. The man they admire wanted to kill children? Riley was getting excited. He felt there was going to be a nice brawl.
"You don't understand…."
"Oh we fucking understand," said Caesar, "I missed out on my life with my wife and son. Huey missed out on the birth of his daughter. You took away memories we will never get to experience."
"And you put my pregnant wife in danger," Hiro said coming onto the stage.
"And murder my parents," said Cindy coming onto the stage.
Winston look like he saw a ghost when he stared at Cindy. He wasn't the only one who was shock. No one in their group knew that.
"You killed them for money and left me to the streets. I hope you get everything that is coming to you," she said murderous. Riley came up to Cindy and rested his hand on her shoulder. Showing her she wasn't alone anymore. And she knew, she got a new family that loved her.
But Winston started laughing.
"And your wives and children? What about them? I killed them," Winston said laughing like he was insane. He couldn't believe all of the list saying that they were alive.
"Get him dad."
That froze Winston as he looked up to the balcony. Ming, Tia and Jazmine stood there looking down with Donte and Rosa.
"He is a mean man daddy. He had that other man tie us up," Rosa said.
Huey and Caesar look like they were ready to kill.
"Cairo! Rollo! My men!" Winston said in a panic. He needed to get out of here and fast. The crowd look like they were ready to kill him as well.
"Cairo's punk ass is dead motherfucker," said Riley.
"And your friend the Reverend is gone," said Cindy, grabbing onto Riley's hand that still rest on her shoulder.
Winston didn't think it could get any worse.
"FBI!"
But it did. Agent Flowers came in gear coming down the aisle with a team of other agents.
Winston froze, this was now becoming a nightmare.
"Winston Jerome, you are under arrest for murder, fraud, distortion and blackmail," said Agent Flowers.
"Hey you forgot kidnapping Agent," yelled Tia. She wanted that one to stick.
"Okay and kidnapping as well," he said taking Winston out of the theatre. They watched as they haul Winston out of there. They were finished. They complete their mission. The crowd cheered for the boys as they walked out of the theatre. Jazmine, Tia, Rosa and Donte waited in the lobby for their family.
"Alright alright alright, lets get out of here!" shouted Riley. No one care for his antics. But no one disagree that they wanted to go.
"Alright everyone I got something for us," Hiro said smiling, guiding his wife to the door.
"Oh god I wonder what it is," said Tia.
There was a pimp out limo was at the front of the theatre. Waiting for them.
"Yea yea, that's what I'm talking about," Riley said, jumping into the back of the limo. Cindy laughs and got in right behind him. Hiro and Ming enter next. Than Caesar, Tia and Donte. Huey and Jazmine were last but.
"Jazmine!"
They turn and saw her parents come out of the theatre.
Jazmine went in the limo with Rosa in her arms, not looking back. They made their decision the day she told them she was having her baby and they wanted her to get rid of her. Jazmine had no problems not talking to them. Ever.
"Huey please you have to let us talk to her," said Tom.
"You already hurt my wife more than you can imagine. You won't hurt her anymore," Huey said, climbing into the limo and shutting the door before another word could be said.
Jazmine smiles at her husband. She known that Huey would do this after he saw they wanted to get rid of Rosa. But they were together and Rosa was here happy. That is what matter to her.
"Well, I say we go home," Caesar said.
Everyone agree, they were ready to start living again.
"Ay Cindy, whatcha mean when Winston kill ya am?" asked Riley, still wondering about what she said on the stage.
"When I arrive at the bunker with White Shadow and Agent Flowers when I was a kid, my parents were pastors. Winston Jernoe was one of the execuitives of the church. He stole money from the donations. My parents found out and confronted him. He killed them because he was caught. He was let go because of lack of evidences. After that, my last mission was taking him down and his empire. But that's over now," said Cindy, glad that she got that off her chest.
Riley threw his arm around Cindy and pulled her close.
"Ay it's all new game now," he said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
They were a family and they will stick together as they start a new chapter in their lives.
