The Game and Love

Marcus Murphy

    Chapter 4: Marcus Murphy

    Next morning Trasha woke up late. She couldn't get to sleep at all cause her mind was everywhere. She knew but she didn't know what her next move was going to be. She found all that money then everything in that package that Brave left for her made her feel like it was something Brave wanted her to do or to know but he couldn't tell her, so she was stuck all night trying to figure everything out. It was 9:30am  when Trasha got up. Lisa had gotten Lance off to school so Trasha didn't have to rush and do that. So Trasha hurried and got dressed. She thru on her gray pin strip pencil skirt and her powder pink button up shirt with the matching blazer. Putting her long black hair up into a high slick ponytail she slipped on her stone gray with pink tip red bottom heels, along with her pink diamond studded earrings and matching necklace and watch. Trasha wasn't sure if she would run into anyone of importance today since she had to go to the bank so she wanted to look professional but on top of that she knew she was going to see Mr. Murphy today, and even if he was rude he was still sexy as hell to her. She grabbed her bag and switched out her guns she tucked the 22mm in her waist under her blazer and put the 9mm in her purse. She grabbed her keys and left the house. 

20 min into the ride as she following her GPS to Mr. Murphy house she sent him a message saying she was 2 min away and will be pulling up. A few seconds later he texted back saying ok and to pull into the drive way next to the mustang. So 2min later she did just that, getting out the car and walking up on the front door and knocking. She heard a strong voice yell "Its open" . As she walked in she was taken back by the smell of Sauvage by Dior. She knew this smell all to well cause that was Brave favorite cologne. She kinda smiled as she took in the smell just as Marcus walked into the front of the house where she was standing. As soon as she seen him she was turned on by this sexy man standing in front of her with his under armor shorts and shirt on. He must of been working out cause he is glowing from sweat. She couldn't help but to feel heat coming from under her skirt. She shock off the idea and the feeling fast when he spoke.

    "Hey Tra right?' He said extending his hand out to give her a hand shake. She nodded her head and smiled while shaking his hand, and she replied.

    "Hey how are you? sorry I was running late this morning hope u wasn't waiting to long for me to come with your wallet' She handed it to him and he just starred at her like he was looking into her soul as he replied.

    'Naw I wasn't waiting to long , but I must admit I would of waited even longer for someone as beautiful as you." Blushing hard Trasha didn't know what to say he was real direct and she wasn't use to being complimented like that so bold and forward, she liked it a lot. Giggling a little she replied.

    "Well thank you but where all them nice words come from cause the night we met you treated my soul and was rude as hell." Smirking some he grabbed his chest like he couldn't believe it and said.

    "That was my bad, and you right I was really having a bad night and I should of never treated you so cold so please accept my deepest sorry. With the puppy dog eyes he looked at Trasha. She didn't know what to say so she just smiled and nodded her head. He invited her into the living room. His house was amazing it was a bachelor pad you could tell by the décor but it was put together nicely. From the big 85 inch t.v. on the wall and the surround sound speakers all around it and the huge framed posters of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Labron James. He had good taste and I that was something Trasha liked about a man. They sat a chatted for about ten min before Trasha phone went off. It was a text message from Bishop saying "Met 2pm Den" she checked it and replied back. She stood and told Marcus she was getting ready to go. He put his head down and said.

    Damn I was enjoying you miss. lady. I hope this aint the last time I get to talk to you or worst see you." with a half smile on his face he looked at her waiting on her to reply when she said.

    "It don't have to be but that's up to you Mr. Murphy. You know how to get in contact with me so if you want to talk to me or see me then set it up. Ball in your court. She smiled at him and walked out of the house. As she was getting into the car she could see him standing in the door so she waved bye and backed out of his drive way and made her way to the bank.

    There was only one bank that she knew Brave dealt with and that was First Federal of Chicago. So she pulled up to it and parked. She was nervous cause she didn't know what she was getting ready to find out. But she knew it had to be done cause Brave told her to do it. As she set and got herself together she remembered the cell phone brave left her. She had put it in her bag before she left the house. She powered it on and again the passcode popped up. She tried a few number combinations and they didn't work, so she really just sat an thought. when it hit her like a ton of bricks 0513. That was Brave's daughter Raven birthday. She knew that cause every year on that day they would get a cake and celebrate her birth. She tried the numbers and the phone screen unlocked. as soon as she unlocked it she seen it was a text message unopen, so she opened it. It was from Braves number, It said "Baby girl, I know you don't know whats going on and you are confused but I know you and I know you will figure out what is what. I hope you and Lance are ok cause  if you reading this text I must not be with you anymore. I left everything for u that you need in this phone. contacts, locations, and answers to any questions". That was the end of the text, now Trasha is even more confused then she was before. She put the phone back in her purse and got out and went into the Bank. 

Walking in to the bank she didn't know who to talk to so she went to the teller and asked about safe deposit boxes. The teller paged the lady that deals with that up to the front. A few moments later a older white woman approached Trasha. holding out her hand Trasha said.

    "Hello my name is Trasha Sa...." being cut off by the woman

    "Satiago, your Brave daughter. Im Rebecca Winters Brave has told me so much about you, Im so sorry for your lost he was such a good man, would you please follow me." the woman said as she begin to lead Trasha towards the back of the bank. The walked a little ways until they entered a big room full of deposit boxes. As the entered the room Rebecca tells the security guard to leave and she locks the door behind him. Trasha notice and slowly turned herself to face Rebecca as she slid her hand behind her back and gripped her gun that was in her waist. Trasha didn't know what was up so she didn't trust none of it. Rebecca could tell that with the look that Trasha had on her face. Stepping toward Trasha, Rebecca started to speak.

'Miss. Satiago there's nothing to worry about I promise you. Me and Brave have been business associates for over 20 years. And I know why you are here. I knew that you would be to see me shortly after Brave passed God rest his soul.' With that Trasha relaxed and took her hand off her gun. She exhaled deeply and smiled at Rebecca. They spoke for some time and Rebecca explained that she was who Brave used to clean his money. and that she will be in Trasha service now. They talked about how the arrangement worked and Trasha was down with it. After the conversation Rebecca took the key that was hanging around her neck and handed it to Trasha. She then showed her which box was hers and walked out of the room into a office on the other side of that room. Trasha reached into her purse and puled out the keys Brave left her. she found the right key and put both hers and Rebecca's key in and turned it.  she pulled the box out and sat it on the table. The box had pictures and papers and legal documents. as she went thru some of them. She came across the deeds to her house and the summer home in Miami. Also a deed to a apartment complex that she didn't know he had. it was a lot to take in and she didn't have time to go thru everything so she gathered everything out the box and ask Rebecca if they had something that she could put everything in. Rebecca gave her a bank box with a lid and so she put everything away in it, thanked Rebecca for everything and walked out the bank. She hurried to her car and slid the box in the back seat. She jumped in the car and started it. She still had to go met with some peoples and check the trap houses plus get Lance from school. On top of the meeting so she didn't have much time. But she knew that she would have to go thru that whole box of papers sheet for sheet and also the phone Brave left her if she was really going to start figuring things out. Even if she didn't know what she was trying to figure out.
