"May I ask you a personal question?" Mathayus asks, "Such as?" "What was Jermaine to you?" "What do you mean?" "I hear a hint of intimacy whenever you talk about him." "A Wat you a try sey?" Razor asks, narrowing his eyes at Mathayus. "I get the impression that he was more your lover than just someone you cared for," Mathayus says bluntly.
"So you not only calling me gay but a pedophile as well?" Razor snaps. "Making assumptions can be very dangerous, hence the reason I ask for your clarification on the matter," Mathayus says, his tone calm. "He was everything to me, alright; just leave it at that." Razor snaps again.
"Touchy subject, got it, okay then answer me this instead, why didn't you make Liah yours while she was living in your base? You threaten to do it countless times, but you never did. How is it that she returned home a virgin?" "Ungrateful bastard, shouldn't you be thanking me for not touching her?" Razors growls.
"I do, but I still can't understand why you didn't." "Liah is off limits for me," Razor says after a few minutes of silence. "Why?" "Ugh, because she's my goddaughter, alright, actually all three of them are my godchildren, but no one can ever know that, no one, not even them, I can't have any weaknesses, so keep your mouth zipped, okay, that also goes for you two in the back seat," Razor orders. Keshan and Lee glanced at each other but said nothing.
"Your god children, really? Yet you threaten to kill each of them at least three times per day." "And yet they are all still alive, funny how that works, huh? Threatening people's lives is a sure way of making them comply with my demands. As scary as you are, it works on you when I threatened to kill Liah, didn't it?" Razor chuckles.
"It did, but how exactly did you become their godfather?" "Long story." "We're still two hours away from our destination," Mathsyus states. "Wait, how the hell would you even know that?" "You overestimate your importance; her location is already locked into my GPS," Mathayus says, showing Razor his phone.
"Is that your way of saying you didn't need me to find her?" Razor asks, offended. "Precisely, now answer my question." "Ugh, you're still a pain in my ass," Razor swears under his breath. "Alright, their father was a member of the gang; he was my go-to man for anything I needed when I took over the gang from my father, just as Blade is to me right now. We were best friends, so when each of them was born, he asked me to be their godfather. He said that if anything should happen to him, I was the only person he trusted to look out for them, so after he was killed, that's what I did, without them knowing, of course, not even Blade knows that I'm their godfather." Razor said with a sigh.
"Where is Blade?" Mathayus asks. "Over the next base, what, you miss him? No worries, by now he must hear that you deh bout, so you soon see him, so tell me, did you catch those fuckers that dumped you on this Island?" "Yes, I did." "Made them pay, did you?" "I did." "One thing me no get though, you're from Saudi-Arabia, so how the hell them get you from all the way over deh so, to here, on this tiny little Island?"
"The one behind my attack was very powerful; getting access to our fleet of jets was an easy task for him, and so was organizing an unauthorized flight out of our country." "And I get that, but still that was quite a rass distance to travel just to dump someone. Did they even know where they dumped you?"
"I don't think they did; they were instructed to take me as far from my country as possible, so there would be no chance of me to ever returning or for my body to ever be found by anyone who knew me." "Dat was a well-thought-out plan, but little did they know who they were dealing wid, huh? But seeing how skilled you are, how did you not see those fuckers coming?" Razor asks.
"I could ask you the same question." Mathayus snorts. "Yeah, I was too damn busy minding my own business," Razor growls through clenched teeth. "And I was distracted, trying to find my missing mother and fiancée," Mathayus replied. "Touche." Razor nods.
"So, I noticed that I didn't see Zoey at the base," Mathayus says as a bike zooms past them. "Blasted idiot." Razor swears, swerving away from the speeding bike, "Dat idiot figet say a only two wheel dat rass deh have? Anyway, she is in a the hospital; she had the baby two days ago, but because of a few complications them can't send her out yet."
"Okay then, now tell me, is there anything else I need to know about Liah before I reach her destination?" Mathayus asks.
