I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #9

just like that.

I learned that God is...

really and truly

in control of all of this.

But the most important

thing I learned...

What?

Is that I never

want to be alone.

I never want to be

away from you again, baby.

Vanessa Leon,

will you marry me?

Miles,

ain't no question.

Freeze!

Freeze!

Show me your hands!

Don't move!

Put your hands

behind your back!

Get him!

Hold it!

Hold it right there!

Freeze!

Show me your hands!

Show me your hands!

I got him!

I Got him!

Freeze!

Freeze!

Put your hands...

Sitting here

Guess I didn't make bail

Got time and a story to tell

Started when

I was nine years old

Woke up

and Daddy was gone

I started hustling

They couldn't

tell me nothing

Fronting in the hood,

trying to be somebody

Y'all always trying

to blame it on me, man.

I told you not to...

Shut up!

Shut up!

We in this position here.

We got to wait for Miles

to get us out,

and that's it.

We here.

Yo.

Hey, yo, Miles, man, listen,

don't say nothing, okay?

Just listen.

We got hemmed up, dog.

Me, Percy, Chris, Wikki...

all of us, man.

We locked up right now.

You got to be kidding me.

Man, does is sound like

I'm kidding, dog?

Listen, and to top it off,

it's the feds that got us.

The feds?

Yeah, man.

They set our bail

at $112 million right now.

All right,

what you want me to do, man?

Look, dog, I need you to

get us out of here right now.

All right, I'm on it.

So what happened?

Man, they came at us hard,

Miles.

I mean real hard...

feds all over the place,

SWAT cars, guns.

They took us all down

in different places, man.

It was not good.

They charge you

with something?

What's the charges?

Man, the indictment had

all kinds of stuff in it, man.

Still trying

to figure it all out.

What about the spots?

I mean, was anybody dirty?

Did they find anything?

Nah, man,

but I'll tell you this...

they tore my spot up

real good,

and thank God the only thing

they found was a gun.

Mine too, man.

They left that joint

a mess, dude.

Yeah, man, them dudes bust

the door down, dog.

They act like they was looking

for bin Laden or something, man.

Man, check this out, man.

They got some of my people,

but I got my lawyer on it.

Says he won't know nothing

for a few days

till he gets the reports back,

but they was pressing us

really hard, Miles.

Pressing?

About what?

About you.

About me?

Man, look, this guy told me

I could get up

and leave right then and there

if I told them

something juicy about you.

Yep.

Told me the same thing.

This Agent McDaniel dude?

He got it real bad

for you, Miles.

Yeah, that's real talk,

Miles.

Man, they offered to take me

right back to my house, man,

and forget like any of this

even happened.

What'd you say?

Man, I asked them if I could

get ESPN in my cell, man.

Yeah, what about you?

You really got to ask me that,

Miles?

After everything

we've been through?

I think they was just

fishing for something

and trying to use

me and all the fellas

as bait to get at you.

I'm buggin'.

My bad.

Just stay out of their way

till we can figure this out.

I feel you.

Man, done.

Thanks a lot, man.

Thank y'all, man.

Hustle it up, man.

Come on.

So not one of these guys

gave us anything on Miles.

Not one, sir.

I'm surprised.

I thought that little guy Chris

would have talked.

Maybe there's nothing

to tell, Chief.

What are you saying?

That Miles is some

squeaky-clean choirboy now?

Maybe.

Just get this guy.

Let's move out.

Man, Pastor, I'm sorry.

She's usually on time

for everything.

Hey, don't worry about it,

Miles.

Listen, we spend half our days

waiting on the Lord

and the other half

waiting on our wives.

Hey, don't tell her

I said that to you, though.

I won't.

I won't.

Excuse me, Pastor.

I got to take this.

Hello?

Miles.

It's Alyssa.

Hey, Alyssa, what's up?

Vanessa's been

in a car accident.

What happened?

Her car was hit by a truck

that ran a red light.

How is she?

She's not well, Miles.

She's still in surgery.

Mr. And Mrs. Leon?

Well, here's where we're at,

folks.

She has internal bleeding,

suffered severe head trauma...

she's in a coma.

Is she gonna be all right,

doc?

I mean, she gonna live,

right?

Only time will tell.

We've done all we can for her.

We just need to see

how her body reacts

to the procedures

and hope for the best.

Hope?

Hope?

You say hope,

and they say pray.

I mean, can we all get on

the same page here at least?

Take it easy, son.

Take it easy?

You said you've done

all you can for her, doc.

Yes, we have.

You sure about that?

Miles, please, calm down.

It's in the Lord's hands now.

"It's in the Lord's hands. "

I'm tired of hearing

it's in the Lord's hands.

I heard that

when my mother died.

"It's in the Lord's hands. "

Look, I'm sorry,

but somebody else

needs to step in

and take the wheel here,

'cause it seems like

He is out to lunch.

Look, I promise you

I'll do everything I can

to save her life.

You have my word.

Look,

I'm sorry.

There's somebody

I got to go talk to.

Miles, wait.

Good.

I'm glad You're here,

'cause we got some serious

issues to talk about.

First of all,

You took my mother from me,

and that just about killed me,

but I kept my mouth shut

and let that one slide.

I've done some bad things

to people for a lot less,

but I've been trying to give You

the benefit of the doubt.

I've been faithful.

I been going to church,

reading your

precious little book.

I even drop stacks of hundreds

every Sunday

in that little velvet bag

they pass around.

I've changed.

I'm a changed man,

can't you see that?

Oh, my bad.

Of course You can.

You see everything, right?

So what's the problem, then?

What do You want from me?

I know I haven't made You proud.

How could I with

all this mess I got going on?

What happened?

What happened to all the things

I've been reading about?

Grace, forgiveness, mercy?

Where was the mercy

for my mother?

Now You want to take Vanessa

from me?

Nah, that ain't gonna happen,

big guy.

Look, I'm a stand-up guy.

If anybody needs to pay

for they sins,

then let it be me.

Please just leave

everybody else out of it.

Just take me!

I'm ready

for whatever You got coming.

You want to send me to hell,

book the flight!

But please.

Please.

I'm begging You.

Don't take Vanessa from me.

Just tell me.

Look,

whatever You want me to do.

Tell me what You want me to do

to spare her life.

I didn't mean a word

I just said, Lord.

I'm sorry for yelling at You

in Your house.

But, God, You got to know

this is rough on me.

Just let me know

what I got to do

to make this right.

I'll do it.

I surrender, Lord.

I surrender.

Okay, Miles,

get out of the car.

Get out of the car.

Put your hands in the air

right now.

Is there a problem,

officers?

Turn around!

Turn around!

Walk backwards.

Put your hands on your head.

Down to your knees.

House is clear.

House is clear.

House is clear.
