Within a few minutes many of the fruit and ice cream distributors throughout district nine in their carts and cars were blasting music while share-emptying out their merchandise throughout the streets before disappearing.<\/p>\n Nobody knew what exactly was going on, they just assumed it was from the holidays and joined in on this fleeting moment scattered throughout the favelas before it ended.<\/p>\n Emma goes over to Pagpag and starts directing.<\/p>\n I understand you are Bander\u2019s handler.\u00a0 I\u2019d like you to stop doing that now please.<\/p>\n He\u2019s married, that would be inappropriate, I\u2019m his captain now.\u00a0 Mama berta, I hope it\u2019s okay I stay behind a little bit and help clean up our mess\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026.and\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026I have a new man now, could you fill me in on the things he likes? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026.I want to be able to baby him when he feels down or cranky and thought maybe you might have a few pointers.<\/p>\n Mama \u2018Berta nods her head and smiles warmly.<\/p>\n She reaches over to Emma and lightly holds her cheek in her hand.<\/p>\n Emma hugs Mama \u2018Berta and goes to Bander, still sitting in his chair spaced out and processing, unsure if today is a dream or something.<\/p>\n \u201cBander, everything was so sudden, I\u2019m going to get dressed up extra cute for you tonight, just to talk, answer any questions, fill each other in, maybe have some coffee or something?\u00a0 Here\u2019s your phone.\u00a0 These three will take you to a plaza and ph nearby.<\/p>\n Go get cleaned up, go shopping for some clothes or something…\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u2026take a nap, do whatever you\u2019d like.\u00a0 I have a spot for us we can go and be alone\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026it is our honeymoon after all.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be looking my best waiting on you…\u201d<\/p>\n She gave him angel face.<\/p>\n She sends him an air smooch, a wink, and the group starts guiding him out.<\/p>\n {is this it\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026just like that I\u2019m out of district 9\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026good, Mosa can stay here\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 finally free of her\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u2026will I be able to come back and say bye to Pagpag, pepe and Mama \u2018Berta\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026.Emma\u2019s kind of cute at least\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026oh sht, I have to get ready for tonight\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026fk, why do I feel so tired dough..\u00a0 \u00a0 …dammit, i hope someone hooks that bread slice up now that i won’t be around}<\/em><\/p>\n Mama \u2018Berta asks them to wait.\u00a0 She gives Bander a kiss on his forehead.\u00a0 Holds his cheeks in her hands, and gives him a to go plate in a bag with his toothbrush and wedding box inside as well.<\/p>\n “I talk you later demming mang!”<\/p>\n Dj lady gives Bander the dog and leads him out.\u00a0 Right this way \u201cMr. Goldman\u201d<\/p>\n Hands guy is walking behind him.<\/p>\n \n Bander is escorted out while balancing many things at once.<\/p>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ARCH 3.4 \u201c\u2026it\u2019s an institute you can\u2019t disparage\u2026\u201d 6 Jan 2020, Morning Happy hour Mama \u2018Berta\u2019s house, Favela Brasilia, Brazil Mama \u2018Berta is working the kitchen space; she\u2019s stepping around back and forth, there\u2019s cling clangs, the opening and closings of lids and quick dish washings between the popping and the sizzling.

Mama Berta\u2019s workspace has the double ovens and additional counter space to accommodate.
She\u2019s uplifting the world around her today with some of that good good cooking.<\/p>\n
Pagpag is passed out drunk in his room.\u00a0
Bander\u2019s sitting in the dining room\/living room table,
high as a kite, grain milling corn to make the masa harina.
\u00a0Prepping for more fatty tamalies in leaf packagings to share out.<\/p>\n
Advertizing in full volume and fun ways for folks to come on by and get their fresh baked twisty bread.<\/p>\n
Som som toca musica boa or furduncio or somethin\u2019?\u00a0
Your hums be cute, but you slowing me doooown chiiiiiica!\u00a0
Need something with a little more pizzaz for this tamale processezies yo, you know what I mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the month\u2019s she has been slowly adding songs to it that Bander seems to enjoy.
She hit play and the Bluetooth speakers did the rest.<\/p>\n
say,
dance for me, dance for me, dance for me,
oh oh\u266a\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
It pecks at the window pain and then flies away.<\/p>\n
She then goes to put things on simmer temps and pauses multiple cooking processes while putting some oil to boil in a small pot.<\/p>\n
Wherever he turned his head, Pepe was there, shouting in sign language at the loudest volume.<\/p>\n
Pagpag got the kitchen cleaver.<\/p>\n
This rude intrudement of ours; my biggliest apologies, we come in peace.<\/p>\n
Could you please afford me a little time to settle this matter?\u00a0
We are all part of this in one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n
I have to say, I have extra high hopes we can work something out\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u2026Principally bae, you don\u2019t have to be with Mosa anymore, you can be with me instead\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Its not the kind of foundation we would want to base our relationship on right bae?
I\u2019m here looking for some mutual collaboration, like a partnerships or something\u2026<\/p>\n
If you aren\u2019t down with hanging out with me and doing things together, just say so now.
it\u2019s not a tough question, who you staying with tonight, them or me?”<\/p>\n
Did I sht myself at some point in all of this?\u00a0 Please don\u2019t tell me I sht myself again\u2026.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

Fk, can\u2019t believe she\u2019s back.\u00a0 She looks messed up from wherever she\u2019s been…\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2026if I say no that means mosa ultimately decides for me…\u00a0 \u00a0…i have a choice here…\u00a0 \u00a0 Mosa is too much risk\u2026 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026wait though, at least she\u2019s a threat that I know and the familias and my little familia here got my back, mosa wouldn\u2019t expose herself like that by hurting me.\u00a0 I know what mosa is capable of, no way she…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026fk am I talking about, I can\u2019t gamble with that psycho, you know first hand she has no fkn limits, you didn\u2019t get the message?\u00a0 Nothing comes between her and her baby.
she\u2019s probably got this whole district afraid of her, she’s got a rep that she can’t hide\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026this person said she would be nice to me, that\u2019s a better deal anyday.\u00a0 The known unknown is better than the known known here.\u00a0 Get. Away. From. Mosa}<\/em><\/p>\n
We can move anywhere you want.\u00a0
You have all these Earthships all over the place, it would be perfect cover while we work.<\/p>\n
I mean, wow, it\u2019s like, just a little commitment bae, that\u2019s it, that\u2019s all I\u2019m asking for here.\u00a0
What are you so afraid of?\u00a0 Gosh, i just don’t get it!\u00a0 Why men great till they gotta be great!?\u00a0
It\u2019s now or never because I didn\u2019t come aaaaaaall the way to brazil to like, listen to some indecisiv\u2013”<\/p>\n
{dammit she\u2019s fkn crazy\u2026\u00a0 \u00a0 ..as long as she isn\u2019t hitting me or anything I\u2019ll be fine\u2026 \u00a0\u00a0\u2026hurry up and get rapport with her\u2026. \u00a0\u00a0\u2026she said she would protect you and that she’s gentle\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026and her cleaning my hands felt nice}<\/em><\/p>\n
If you would like an allowance we would need to have talks about that later, for now, hurry up.
I promised Mama ‘Berta I would be out of here soon soon not later.\u201d<\/p>\n
I got some ideas and I know a guy who might be able to help us find baby.\u00a0
No promises, but I think we can advance you on this.\u00a0 We can talk more in a moment, standby.\u201d<\/p>\n
A guard calls in and the rest of Mosa\u2019s team is let go from a remote location.<\/p>\n
And that goes for anybody else in this room, including my cute new hubby here.\u00a0
As for de-escalaing, thank you dear for reminding me, I\u2019m on it now. “<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get some Danza Kuduro all up in this bitch!”<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be sure to give him some time off so he can go on his little man-dates with you from time to time.\u00a0
I have some weapons and trainers incoming we are all going to need, please stick around so we can talk more about how we can scratch each other’s backs.<\/p>\n
I heard it\u2019s bad luck if you stuck around while I get ready for that…<\/p>\n
[Emma whips out her phone and types into it really fast]
I sent you a text message to your cell just now, call me when you\u2019re ready?<\/p>\n
