I sat in the visiting area with Kelis, waiting for them to bring East out. All I could think about was how I was going to tell East about Lola. I know that East is gonna be devastated. It might've seemed like he didn't care about his son in the beginning, but that wasn't the case. He was just mad at the fact that Lola was having his baby.

"Ugh, what's taking them so long?"

"It's pretty crowded today. Maybe that's why they're taking so long" Kelis said.

I sighed then dropped my head into my hands.

"Relax Gen. It's gonna be okay" Kelis said as she rubbed my back.

Stressed was an understatement for me.

Looking up, I seen East staring directly at me. By the look on his face, it was obvious that he knew something was wrong. That man knows how to read me like a book.

"What's wrong baby? Is baby girl okay? Is Kaiser okay?" East asked.

I sighed, "they're both fine. It's Lola."

"Kareem found her? Are her and the baby straight?" He asked.

"She..." I paused, taking a deep breath before speaking up again.

"She's dead. They found her body yesterday."

Confusion washed over East's face as he struggled to process what I told him.

"The baby?" East asked.

"She was still pregnant when they found her body. I'm sorry baby."

He bit down on his bottom lip, attempting to hold his tears back. "Who did it?" He asked.

"We don't know. They haven't found a suspect yet."

East sighed then ran his hands over his face. "My fucking son though? Really? This shit ain't fair" he said.

A single tear fell from my face as I watched East break down. I have never seen him this upset before. Losing a child brings out a different type of pain. I know there's nothing that I can do or say to make the pain go away. I would react the same way if I was in his position.

"I'm so sorry Jeremiah."

"I NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE ASAP! I CAN'T LOSE ANYONE ELSE! FUCK!" East shouted as he punched the glass.

"What's going on over here?" A correctional officer asked.

"Ayo, mind yo fucking business nigga. I'm having a conversation with my family right now" East said.

"Jeremiah sto-"

"NAH, FUCK THAT! THESE NIGGAS THINK THEY RUN SHIT. I'LL FUCK AROUND AND KILL ONE OF THESE PUNK ASS NIGGAS" East shouted.

"Alright, visitation is over for you Wright. Let's go" the correctional officer grabbed East's arm, attempting to pull him up.

"THE FUCK OFF ME BITCH" East shouted as he snatched his arm away.

The guard smirked then put East in a headlock.

"STOP! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" I shouted as I watched East struggle to breathe.

"GET OFF OF HIM YOU FUCKING PIG" Kelis shouted as she banged on the glass.

I began to cry as I watched multiple officers drag East out of the visitation area. It was obvious that he wasn't in his right mind space, and that's dangerous for a person that's in jail.

"I don't know much, but I know that Jeremiah is safe. He'll be in solitary confinement for a week. No calls or visitation will be allowed while he's in there" Jonathan said.

Jonathan has a friend that works in the same jail where East is being held at, so we've been getting information from him.

"That's the best place for him right now. Jonathan, you and I both know how our son gets when he's not in his proper mind space. We wouldn't want him to hurt somebody and make his situation worse. He's safe and unharmed, so we have to be grateful for that" Yasmine said.

"You're right baby" Jonathan said.

Yasmine smiled then kissed Jonathan. "I'm gonna start dinner" she said.

Kareem waited for Yasmine to walk out of the room before speaking. "I need to find out who killed Lola. East made it clear that Lola was off limits because she was carrying his child. This shit is fucked up. Who would kill a pregnant woman?" Kareem asked.

"Somebody that's fighting hard to keep something hidden" Jonathan said.

"I agree. Something isn't right about this situation. None of it makes sense, and Jeremiah has BEEN saying that."

"We need to figure out what's going on. We need to bring Jeremiah back home" Jonathan said.

Everybody nodded in agreement.

"According to Lola's autopsy, she's been dead for four months already. That means she was killed right around the time that Jeremiah got arrested" Jonathan said.

"I can't think of anyone that would go against East's rules. What if Harmony was lying? She probably got scared and put the blame on Lola. Then she killed her to back her lie up" Kareem said.

"Or...she lied to protect Zander."

Kareem knitted his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean? You think Zander is in on it?" He asked.

"It makes sense. Zander is the one that pulled the trigger. He could have made a deal with the devil to save himself."

"I don't know Gen. Zander and Jeremiah have been friends for a very long time. Zander is like a brother to him" Jonathan said.

"And they said they found a murder weapon with East's fingerprints on it. I know he didn't kill Jayceon, but it's possible that he dropped his gun" Kareem said.

"I doubt that. Jeremiah is very careful" Jonathan said.

"Just think about it. Zander is NEVER around anymore. He only shows up to important events so that we won't get suspicious. The guilt is probably eating him up. I have a theory."

"Let's hear it" Jonathan said.

"What if there was no murder weapon? What if Zander planted the gun at the crime scene? Or what if he's working with someone from the LAPD? It's possible that Harmony lied on Lola to protect Zander. THEN Harmony or Zander killed Lola to keep their secret safe."

"It makes sense" Jonathan said as he nodded his head.

"It doesn't though. Why would Zander snitch on East? There's no reasoning behind it. We can't just act off of theories. We need REAL proof. Zander is family, and this is a serious ass accusation" Kareem said.

"It makes perfect sense Kareem. Zander probably snitched to save his own ass. Like I said, he could be working with someone on the inside."

"Like I said, we need PROOF. I'm not about to accuse a longtime friend of something as serious as this" Kareem said.

"Both of you have valid points, but I agree with Kareem. Zander is like a son to me, and I would hate to accuse him of something this serious with no proof. Kareem and I will watch Zander closely. In the meantime, you need to go home and get some rest. You're pregnant with my grandbaby, and I know this situation is taking a toll on you. I can't have anything happening to you or the baby" Jonathan said.

Getting rest was the LAST thing on my mind. Now that Lola is dead it's like my mind has been coming up with dozens of scenarios, and all of them include Harmony and Zander. The situation never made sense at first, but now it does. Something isn't right about those two. They're up to something, and I'm gonna find out what it is. There's no limits to the things that I'm willing to do to bring my other half home.
