Me and Razor glance at each other, both confused at what we’re listening to.What the hell language is that?
"Uncle, I’m in trouble. My friend needs security.”
"Kazi?"A lot?
“Yes, sir. As much as you can get. What's the cost?” she asks reluctantly.
"I will discuss cost with the man that is going to save your life. I will send directions to this number and Niece, make sure you and he are there at nine.”
"Tutakuwa huko. Asante tena Mjomba."We’ll be there. Thank you, Uncle.
She ends the call.
I lick my lips after listening to her speak whatever language that was. "Damn, that was sexy as hell. What language were you speaking?"
She bites her bottom lip and gives me a sexy stare. "Swahili. My uncle will meet us tomorrow at nine." She hands me the phone when a text message comes through. "This is the address."
I notice that she saidus, but I’m not going to allow her to go to this meeting with us.
I push a piece of her hair behind her ear and run my hand down her cheek. "You can't go to this meeting. It can be dangerous."
She gives me a hug and a peck on the cheek. "Sorry Austin, I have no other choice. He wants me there. It will be fine. He's family, and I'm his only niece."
I give her a final squeeze and then move her body so she is standing between my legs. "Now, can you tell us who we’re dealing with? We need to be prepared."
"My uncle is Abasi Sefu. Have you ever heard of him?"
"Kira, you got to be fucking kidding me. Your uncle is the most powerful gun runner on the planet. Who hasn’t heard of him?"
"He's influential and very dangerous. He's the reason my parents left Africa and told me not to ever contact him unless I had to. I've met him once at my parents’ funeral. I wasn't sure I should contact him about this Avery situation, but I want to help you guys. This is my fault and if you need help, why not go to the best?"
"What is the price?" Razor asks.
I wonder the same thing. The price has to be more than what we can do. This is Abasi Sefu we’re dealing with after all. The fucking Godfather of Africa. The Kingpin of arms dealing. In short, he is the top of the top.
"He said he would discuss it with the man who is going to save my life. Those were his exact words.” She stands up and touches both of us on our shoulders. “You don’t how happy I am that I met all of you. You are laying down your life for me. So, if you guys agree, I’ll make sure my uncle becomes your new contact, if that is what you want."
Razor smiles at me like we just hit the million-dollar jackpot. "Shit Demon, this is awesome. If we need anything heavy, we could deal with the fucking boss of all bosses, dude. This is some crazy shit."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We still need to find out what the cost will be. Hopefully, it is within reason. I can't believe I'm getting involved with fucking Abasi Sefu."
"He was pretty sweet when I met him at my parents’ funeral,” Kira says. “He told me that I could call him for anything, so no worries, Austin. Everything will be fine. Now let's go eat before everything is gone."
She grabs me by the hand and pulls me outside.
When we make it outside, Dani comes up to us. "What the hell have you guys been doing?"
"I called my uncle."
"Oh shit! Is this Avery thing worse than what we thought?" She grabs Kira and hugs her. "That is one scary ass dude."
I stare at my little sister, surprised she has met Abasi Sefu, but I don’t think she has ever mentioned it. "Wait, you met Abasi Sefu?"
With a slight shiver, she nods. "Yeah, at Kira's parents’ funeral. Dude is fucking huge and very intimidating."
"I'm willing to deal with him. I guess I want to help...and keep your brother from sleeping with his ex." Although she laughs, I can hear the anger and doubt in her voice.
"Who? Natalia? Kira, are you sure you want to go down that road with your uncle just to keep Austin from having sex?"
