after the voudou by mark jacobs

2am after a beautiful rendevous way off the beaten track out in the mountains

hey y’all come here

what’s up?

the guy on the right is in charge. the other one stands off to the left. both got their guns partially out the holster

let me see yall hands. where you going? where you coming from?

we going home. just left the voudou ceremony by the mountain

but why you walking this late?

oh. the motor didn’t have papers so he turned back by the cane field when he saw you. so we had to walk

what he got in the bag? y’all got ID?

stuff. laptop and stuff.

officer don’t worry bout nothing he not haitian. everything cool

hands release gun back into holster. he’s lost interest in bag or ID

uh oh! wait you not haitian? what country?

Guyana

ok. ok. good. ok. see you later

ok later

i know him

from where?

remember that time i was on the bus being chased by the cops?

yea

the one on the right saved the driver from the rest and drove us back to croix de bouquet

oh that was him

yea. if he wasn’t there they would’ve murdered him. he stopped them from beating him

.

we left the voudou early. the drums were talking and the servants dancing and singing and will continue until sunrise and beyond
