Once Madame Gibson was asleep Kyra got off the hospital bed and left the hospital. Walking home Kyra started to notice everything in a different light. Maybe she should stay with Vincent. I could use his money to make every thing better.
'What if Riddick doesn't come I need to plan this out better. If he doesn't I could always use the allowance I saved over the past five years to get aboard a ship and pay them to take me some where.' She was broken out of her thought by the sounds of children playing near by.
Kyra walked overto where the children were playing. "Hello," she said politly. The children looked up from fright at the sound of somebodys voice. They were frightened a few minutes before the oldest who seemed to be about 6 said, " Bonjour."
"Ca va? T'appelle-tu?" Kyra replied. Looking at her the oldest whispered somthing to the other. After the younger one nodded in agree ment the oldest turned back to face Kyra. "My name is Justin and this is my sister Sabrina. Will you please come with us?"
Shocked by the forwardness of the children all Kyra could do was nod. "Taking Justin's hand he lead Kyra to a house a block away. "Will you please check on our mommy? She is sick. And she hasn't been doing so good," was all he said before he opened the door of the house for her to go in.
Entering Kyra followed the hallway to the living room where she saw a woman laying on a pallet. Kyra slowly walked over and kneeled down beside her, the woman was pale and didn't look like she was gonna last much longer.Excuze, madame. Your children asked me to come and check on you . Are you all right?"
Turning her head the woman looked at Kyra and siad in almost a whisper," Take my children to there father. Pl cough ease." The woman started couhging and couldn't stop. Once she got her breath she looked at Kyra an mouthed "Please," before she let her last breath out.
Stanind up Kyra didn't know what to do. How was she to know who their father was? Walking outside she saw that the children were setting on the ground about to cry, " Your mother, well she told me to take you to your father, do you know who that is?" she asked.
The oldest turned to her and said," His name is Imam. But that is all we know." Once that name came out Kyra didn't heat anything else. How could Imam be there father?" Justin how old are you?" Kyra questioned.
"I am seven, and my sister is three," he replied. If he was seven how could Imam be the father? We only moved here five years ago. With out hesitation the boy took Kyras hand and they set off to the home which Imam lived.
When they arrived, Kyra walked along eside the boy and girl to the front door.Once they reached it Kyra slowly raised her hand to the door and knocked. She could hear the lite foot steps of Ziza running through the house when they stopped the front door cracked open.
"Hello?" came the little voice from inside. "Ziza, it's Kyra," she replied to the little voice," can I talk to you r daddy please?" The little girl opened the door completly and yelled for her father. When Imam reache d the door he saw Kyra and the children.
"Kyra what are you doing here, and with them?" he asked in suprise and a hint of anger. Stepping outside Imam slammed the door shut, " Why are you here?" he demanded. Taking a look at the children he showed a sign of recognition.
Sabrina took and through her little arms around him and said daddy, loud enough for somebody tto hear. When this happened Imam got a look of disgust on his aged face. He grabbed her by the arm and flung her off him, just hard enough for her to fall to the ground and start to cry.
Justin ran down to his sisters side and picked her up and began to rock her back and forth. "BASTARD," he screamed at Imam before takeing off running with his little sister in his arms.
"Kyra when I requested that you come here I didn't mean for you o bring street rats with you," he said in a cold manner. Opening the door he turned back, "Come inside." Walking in Kyra was scared by Imam new attitude.
"What has changed in you Imam?" Kyra asked him. Imam stopped and glanced over his shoulder and kept walking intill they were upstairs. Once she stepped into the room Imam closed the door.
"Now down to work," he said walking ove to his desk," now Jack why is Riddick back in New mecca?" Imam asked. "What do you mean he's back?" Jack asked trying to hide her lie.
" Oh so you didn't know? Well then let me tell you just how back he is. First thing is hat he is looking for. . . " Imam was interupted when Lajjun came into the room. "Hello Lajjun," Kyra said trying to be polite. Lajjun looked at herand nodded her head in a hello.
Kyra noticed that Lajjun was sporting a black eye. "What happened to you?" she exclaimed. "Lajjun out!" Imam yelled. At once Lajjun left the room. "What happened to her?" Kyra demanded. "Nothing she tripped and fell thats all," Imam said.
"Now were was I? Oh yes he is looking for you and the second thing is that he is familiar with the name Navaro? Now why is that Jack?" he asked with a smirk on his face. "How should I know?" she replied.
"Fine you can play the innocent act now but if he screws up my deal with Audrey it will be your falt," he threatened," Vincent says that he is looking forward at having children so how would you like to have a daughter, wait make that two daughters and one son with out having to speard your legs?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Kyra asked cunfusion taking the place of anger. " Well those two street rats you brougth here earlyer truly are mine, but why would I want them I don't even want the one I have. So what do you think also Lajjun is pregnant again so how would you like to be Ziza's new mother?"
Shocked Kyra grew in anger. "How can you do that. Just through away somebody's life because you don't want them?" 'Imam has changed so much.' kyra thought to her self. "How it is easy all i have to do is give her to you or just tie her up and through her out with the trash," he smirked.
"Fine as long as they don't have to be around you I'll take them." Kyra said storming out of the room. Imam caught her as she turned into Ziza's room. "By the way I hope you have a long life," he said as he turned and walked away laughing. "Lajjun go help her pack up that little bitchs belongings,"he screamed to his wife.
"Imam please no not my little girl," Lajjun pleaded to her husband. "I told you not to get attached. So shut up," he screamed at her before raising his hand and bringing it down across her cheek. When Lajjun fell he grabbed her by her hair and gragged er to their bed room and slammed the door.
Kyra went the the closet and started to look through it for a bag to put her clothes in. "Ziza come up here please," Kyra called tears in her eyes for the woman who was so close as to a mother to her was being abused in the room below.
When Ziza arrived up stairs Kyra opened her arms to the little girl. Ziza ran to Kyra and began to sob into Kyra's shoulder. "Ziza we need to get the rest of your stuff kay do you have a favorite toy or somthing?" Kyra asked the little girl.
Ziza shook her head yes and pointed to the stuffed bear sittting on her bed. Kyra went over and picked it up and handed it to Ziza. After that she picked her up and carried her and her few belonging's out of the house and into the cold night air.
"Ziza before we go we have to find a few people kay?" Kyra sked her.When she nodded her head Kyra headed out in search of Justin and Sabrina.
When she couldn't find them, she thouhgt of the last place they were their mother's house. Kyra walked to the house and found them crying over there mothers body. "Justin, Sabrina come with me. We need to go home," she said as gentaly as she could.
"This is our home. Father doesn't want us. He had never treated us like this before," Justin said with his back still on Kyra. "You mean you had met him before. Did he know you were his kids then?" she asked taken back.
"Yes but he always promised mother he would take us if anythig ever happened to her, but he lied. And I'm not going back neither is Sabrina," He declared. "No JUstin I mean come Home with me. And I cantake care of you and Sabrina," Kyra replied with a smile.
"Do you mean it?" Justin asked now facing her. "Yes and you can have your own room, and maybe even a pet, how do you like that?" Kyra asked the aw faced boy. He nodded a yes and and picked hs little sister up of the ground and followed Kyra out side into the night.
