[glow=red,2,300]I finally am getting around to finishing this story! I hope you like it! Part 4 is coming soon![/glow] ;D

Mira could tell from the tone of Tamir’s voice that he was about to get heated. Jazz took the picture out

of Tamir’s hand and looked hard at it.

“It does look like him.” Jazz said as he rubbed his chin.

When Jazz looked up from the picture his eyes met with Tamir’s.

Mira caught the glare he gave Jazz and her breath got caught in her throat.

“I’mma take Samantha in the other room.” Mira said and she signaled to Samantha for her to follow her out

the room. At the same time, Samantha had a startled
look on her face.

Jazz looked and Tamir, shook his head and then said to Tamir, “How are you just gonna assume that’s him?

Based on what happened almost five years ago? C’mon man!”

“I wouldn’t put it past him! He probably hasn’t changed, no not one bit!” Tamir said as he sat down in his

seat, and started to bite his fingernails nervously.”

“Man you still do that?” Jazz said and he pulled his two

way from off his belt.

“What you doin’ man?” Tamir asked Jazz with disguist

in his voice.

“I’m bout to page ya boy so we can get this straight!”

Jazz said and he proceeded to page Sisqo.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sisqo was about to head to his car from the Ice Cream

Parlor, where just had his favorite mixed fruit

smoothie, when he received his page. It was from

Jazz and it read , Get yo lil’ @$$ ova to Tamir’s office

on 311 S. Blakeney St. Now!”

“No dis n***a ain’t tryin’ act like my daddy!” Sisqo

laughed as he finished reading the page. He didn’t

even respond to the page being that it was just a

couple of blocks away from where he was.

Sisqo jumped in his forest green Navigator and

proceeded to the address.

[aDRUfan4LiFe]

He found the address in no time flat. When he

stepped out of his truck he looked up at the newly

remodeled building which said,”Blakeney

Professional Building.” It had two stories.

“That n***a didn’t even let me know what floor!” Sisqo

said as he looked dumfounded.

“I’ll find it.” He said as he shook his head. He went in

the lobby and headed straight to directory. He located

T. Ruffin Private Investigator Services and it was

located on the second floor. Sisqo smiled and he

started singing lightly, “and were movin’ on up to the

eastsiiiddddeee, in that deluxe apartment in the

skyyyy!!!!!,” when he reached Tamir’s door and saw the

lettering on the door he exclaimed, “D**n he’s REALLY

movin on up!” Sisqo laughed to himself and turned the

knob of the door. As he pulled the door open he didn’t

realize that he swung the door hard. He startled Mira

and Samantha . Samantha, who was sitting behind

Mira’s desk, jumped back and Mira, which had her

back turned jumped out of her chair.

“Sorry ladies, I didn’t realized I pulled the door so

hard.” Sisqo said. He was just as shocked to see

someone behind the door.

“T.??” Samantha said as her eyes looked closely at

Sisqo.” Her eyes started to have a look of lust in them

and Mira was eyeing her. Mira was confused but

didn’t want to jump to conclusions so she kept a

mental note of it.

“Nah, Mark aka Sisqo,” He said as he stuck out his

hand toward her.


“A gentleman…ummm.” Samantha thought as she

shook his hand.

“I’m sorry again.” Sisqo said with kindness in his

voice. Sisqo then focused on Mira. He hadn’t seen

Mira in about 4 and a half years.

“Tamira, how are you, I haven’t seen you in a while!”

Sisqo said as he looked deeply in her eyes.

Mira blushed. “Fine, and yeah it has been a while!”

She said with a shyness in her voice. Even though

she didn’t want to, she responed to his open arms

with a hug and she could feel all her feelings come

back for him, even though years had passed by.

“Luv ya girl” Sisqo said in her ear without realizing it.

Mira pulled back from his embrace and stood back.

Sisqo caught himself after he realized what he said to

her and cleared his voice.

“Uh..um…where’s Jazz? He paged me to come here

and Sisqo started to look around nervously.

“In there.” Mira said as she pointed to the door on her

right that looked like the front door minus the lettering.

[aDRUfan4LiFe]

“Aight.” Sisqo said as he headed toward the door.

“He looks like T. but he definitely is not, he’s more of a

gentleman.” Samantha said as she looked at Mira.

“Oh snap!” Mira said as Sisqo turned the knob. “We

gotta tell Tamir that isn’t Sisqo in the picture!”

Just then Mira stepped ahead of Sisqo and

Samantha was right on her heels.

“That’s ain’t him!” Samantha and Mira yelled as they

almost ran Sisqo over while running into the office.

“The h*ll it ain’t!” Tamir said as he was about to lash

out with all anger at Sisqo.

“You hurtin’ another chick ? Huh? When is all the

madness gonna end? And you are supposed to be in

church now! I guess God can only do so much without

you helping your own self.” Tamir said angrily.

Sisqo looked at Tamir with shock on his face.

Jazz interjected, “Where in the world did that come

from, man!” The ladies just came in and said that

wasn’t him. Just by looking at the picture doesn’t

mean it’s him!”

Tamir gained his composure and sat down in his seat

and started to bite his nails again. Sisqo looked at

Tamir straight in his eyes and said, “What the heck is

going on ! I ain’t did nothing to nobody, and if you are

still harboring animosity toward me for something that

happened 5 years ago you need to deal with it! I

thought we was cool man! Now where is this picture

ya’ll pitching a hissy fit over?” He said with slight anger

in his voice.

Jazz grabbed the picture off of Tamir’s desk and

handed it to Sisqo and he scrutinized it and on the

picture was Samatha and she sitting side by side with

the person that looked like Sisqo.

“Man he kinda does look like me!” He said as he

smiled. “Must be family resemblance or something.”

“Wait!” Samantha shouted and everyone looked her

way.

“We were so caught up in claming it was Sisqo, I

didn’t even bother to tell you his name!” Samantha

said.

“Yeah, right!”Jazz stated as he stared at Tamir.

“Well what is his name?” Mira said as she looked at

Samantha.

“Well his name is…Thomas…”she said and Sisqo cut

her off and said, “Thomas who?”

“Andrews.” Samantha said and she rolled her eyes

because he cut her off. Sisqo went back to

scrutinizing the picture, and looked up to catch Tamir

eyeing him as he scrutinized the picture. Tamir turned

away and looked out the window.

[aDRUfan4LiFe]

It took a while for it to click to Sisqo but then he realized in his mind and he spoke it aloud, “Do you know Thomas’mother’s name?”

“Lorretta.” Samantha said and she watched as

Sisqo’s face lit up and he got excited and he almost dropped the picture.

“Yo! This is some crazy stuff!”Sisqo said as he shook his head and started to laugh.

“What?” Samantha said.

“Do they call him T?” Sisqo said as he looked at Samantha.

“Yep, they sure do.” Samantha said with a puzzled look on her face.

“Hee-Hee!” Sisqo said as he started laughing and held up the picture.

“Remember T. ya’ll?” He said to Jazz and Tamir. Jazz and Tamir gave Sisqo an ‘I don’t remember look.’

“Yo! Remember my cousin that they always said looked like my twin but he was about 100 pounds heavier? Dis is him! Oh my goodness! He dropped some pounds!!!Look at the mole under his chin! That looks like it lost weight when he dropped them pounds!” Sisqo said as he continued to laugh.

Jazz snatched the picture out of Sisqo’s hand as him and Tamir observed what Sisqo told them to look at.

Both Jazz and Tamir started laughing. They both started flashing back to when they were in high school and to how big T. was. They always used to call Sisqo and T, big twin an little twin when they were both at the same school. But T. had move away when they were both in the eleventh grade.

“Can we pull it in please, it’s time to be serious now! This man is 'supposidy' out to get Pastor D!!”

“Word?” Sisqo said. “I ain’t neva known him to be no troublemaker!”

“We’ll I know him and he is a troublemaker!” Samantha said angrily as she proceeded to leave out of the room.”

“See ya’ll negroes all joking and what not and got her all upset! I’m gonna get her information before she leaves and walk her down to her car.” Mira said with disguist in her voice.

“All shoot! Let her know I’m gonna follow her home to make sure she is safe.” Jazz shouted.

Samantha heard him and stopped in her tracks.
“Thanks Jazz!” Samantha shouted.

Jazz started to head out of Tamir’s office and he looked at Sisqo and Tamir and told them, “Please, act like civilized human beings while I’m gone!”

Sisqo and Tamir just looked at Jazz and they made eye contact with each other. Tamir was the first to look away.

“Is my work done here?” Sisqo asked with sarcasm in his voice.

“Umm..Hmmm….” Tamir said faintly, without making eye contact with Sisqo. Sisqo started to grab the knob on the door when he looked back at Tamir.

“Man I thought we was over that. We gonna work this out even if I gotta go to Pastor D with it. I can’t work with nobody who I have a beef with! Aight!” Sisqo said.

“Umm…hmm,” Tamir faintly said and he still looking out of his window.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sisqo headed out the door of his office and walked past Mira as she was rearranging some stuff on her desk.

“Mira.” Sisqo said and she looked up at him. She stared at his eyes as he smiled.

“Can we go out to lunch tomorrow, I got some things I wanna get off my chest?” Sisqo said.

“Nah! Remember the meeting with Pastor D is tomorrow!” Mira said and she smiled at Sisqo.

“Well dinner?” He said as he continued to insist.

“Well you’re still a persistent little thing!” Mira said as she laughed.

“We’ll see. Call me at the office.” Mira said.

Sisqo nodded his head toward Tamir’s office and said, “I hope you got your own line!”

“Not yet, but Tai doesn’t answer the phone that much!” Mira laughed.

“Oh okay!” Sisqo said. He smiled at Mira and went out the door.

“Oh Sisqo!” She sighed and she continued to organize her desk.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tamir was still in his office looking out of the window
when he got an idea to ride with Jazz to see that Samantha got home safely.

He jumped out of his seat, ran around his desk and bursted through his door and ran past Mira.

Mira was startled, once again, when she saw Tamir grab for his coat and keys.

“Where you going?” Mira said with surprise in her voice.

“With Jazz if I can catch him! Lock up!” Tamir said to Mira.

“Hope you catch him. I gotcha!” Mira responded.

Tamir ran down the stairs and out the front door just to see Samantha's car coming out of the parking garage of the building. She almost hit him when he ran across the front of her car. S When she saw Tamir running across her car, slammed on her brakes.
Samantha rolled down her window and yelled to Tamir, “Boy I could’ve hit you…”

“Yo, where’s Jazz?”

“Behind me!” She said as Tamir saw Jazz’s Expedition pull up behind Samantha’s Honda Civic.

Jazz rolled down his window to see what was up.

“Let me in, man!” Tamir said to Jazz. Jazz nodded his head and unlocked his doors.

Tamir ran across the front of Jazz’s truck and got in the passenger side.

“Yo, why did you decide to come at the last minute?” Jazz questioned Tamir.

“I got this feelin’ that we gonna see something to help us !” Tamir said as he looked seriously at Jazz.

Jazz shrugged his shoulders and said. “Detective Tai to the rescue!”

They both laughed and proceeded to follow Samantha home.
