Good day Lloyalists. I know many of you have been patiently waiting for Legacy City II. Well, I don’t want to keep you waiting any longer. Here’s the first story in Jah’s Journal….
Jah and Kaleah left the reading of the will in a hurry. Jah could tell by Kaleah’s facial expressions that she read between the lines and knew exactly what Semi was saying. She was from the streets, she had gone to law school, and was currently on her third year of practice. She knew what was up. She also knew that Jah knew. So she sat in silence and allowed him to collect his thoughts.
Jah’s mind was going seven hundred and thirteen miles a minute. He had to get his s**t together and get low. He had always had an escape plan but never knew it would be one to escape his brother. That made it even more difficult. Siyah knew all of his hiding spots. So Jah had to improvise and he didn’t have much time to come up with a plan.
They were ten minutes away from home when Jah broke his silence. He took his eyes off the road for a second to look at Kaleah. He knew she would be able to see the seriousness in his eyes. He turned back to face the highway and began blurting out demands to her. He told her that she was to go in the house, grab her two largest suitcases, and pack any and everything that meant something to her. She was to pack as if she would never come back to the house again. He instructed her to grab the registration cards from her cars and take pictures of the VIN number upon their arrival. Jah then assured her that he would take care of everything else.
Jah slipped back into a shallow thought. And out just as quick. He reached in the center console for his knock-off phone. He demanded that John Boy tell everyone to get low. He told him to pack his baby mother and daughter up and to get them out of town. The urgency in his voice didn’t warrant a response and John Boy knew it, so he hung up and began to call everyone without haste.
Once they pulled up at their main residence, Jah executed a quick but thorough inspection of the premises, and then he and Kaleah put the plan in motion. Jah emptied every safe and gathered every important document that they would need. He went into his closet and grabbed a duffle bag full of memorable gifts from Madame and Booja along with other things that held sentimental value. For he knew that this day would one day come and he didn’t want to leave his parents’ memories behind.
Jah moved about quickly from room to room, being sure to grab any weapon or item of importance that he had stashed. His momentum slowed when he reached the library. He and his wife’s most favorite room in the house. He wanted to take every book in the room with him but he knew he couldn’t, so he just grabbed a few of Kaleah’s favorites and one of his own. He knew she would need more distractions than him. Jah was sure to retrieve every one of Kaleah’s diplomas, degrees, and certificates. For she took pride in her academic accomplishments and Jah knew that Siyah would not hesitate to destroy it all. Anger started to seep in with the mere thought of Siyah. He fu**ed Sasha and he killed Semi. What about Madame and Booja? Jah couldn’t help but wonder if he was in on that too.
As Kaleah was about to pull her last bag to the foyer, she stopped and took one last look around her bedroom. Jah’s voice interrupted her temporary moment of peace. “We have a lot of memories in this room, go ahead and take it all in just in case we never come back”. At that moment Kaleah realized that their worst nightmare had come true. The streets had consumed and is now controlling their lives. The two just stood their in each other’s embrace briefly reminiscing over their time in the home they had built together.
A familiar voice brought the two back to reality as it called out to them from the bottom of the staircase. It was John Boy, he had done everything necessary on his end, and was here to ride out the storm with Jah and his wife.
