The Morning
The Fourth of December 1994
From MeKaiza's perspective
We started driving in the direction that we were told to by his cousin. I told him to pull over the car, and I'd check the alley while he checked the woods. It took me about an hour to look through the alleys, and he looked, but he was like, f****** he couldn't be looking through no damn woods all night long, so he came back to me, and we continued to search the alley again about two and a half hours later. Thats when we found her lying by the dumpster, completely naked and bruised.
"Michael, please pull over. Look there she is." I said. Michael and I got out of the car and rushed over to her side, and we started calling her name and trying to wake her up, but she wasn't.
"Does she have a pulse?"
"I don't know. I'm scared. I don't want to touch her." I replied as I broke and cried.
"Let me check for a pulse." Michael said As you put his hand on her wrist to see if she still had a pulse, and she did, Michael also noticed that she was bleeding, so he opened her legs, and that's when he found out that she was raped.
"Is she okay?" I asked him.
She suffered rape. In addition to calling the police, we must conceal her nude body. Michael told me.
"Here! How long has she been like this, my goodness? I cried.
"I am not sure, but do not freak out—I need you to call 911 and arrange for an ambulance right away." Michael said. I didn't waste any time about calling 911 that was the first thing I didn't immediately at the Michael told me to I hope whoever did this to my sister's caught, and if I'm thinking, I hope it's not my own brother that did this to his own sister because of his friends, but I can't jump ahead of myself because I don't know for sure what's happened. I finally got in touch with 911
This is the 911. How can I be of assistance?
Mekaiza: It is my sister; she needs assistance immediately.
911: First, explain to me the issue.
Mekaiza: She is unconscious, and she appears to have suffered physical abuse. We are unable to wake her up. She has a very weak pulse.
Dialing 911 will dispatch an ambulance. I need to know more details from you.
Makaiza: Of course.
911: Who is currently with her? Please tell me her entire name. What is her age? Who did this, do you know?
Mekaiza :. My friend is with her. She is a 17-year-old girl named Makaela Janai Clark. No, I do not know who she is, and if I did, they would have died and I would be in jail.
911: They will be there in a moment.
"They will be here shortly," I said, making my way over to Michael.
"Go with her, and I'll drive your car behind the ambulance," Michael said.
"Nah! I argued that we ought to all remain together.
"Kai! I'm going to be right behind you. " I am not going to let that ambulance leave my sight." Michael said. I stayed by Kaela's side as I heard the ambulance arrive. After they completed the necessary procedures, they loaded her into the ambulance. I gave Michael a quick hug before loading Kaela and myself into the vehicle and driving her to the hospital. We were racing to the hospital, and I was just sitting on the ambulance. I am not sure who to call or if I should call Mom. How could I tell her this? Since that is not his child, my father could care less. I don't know her other brother or sister on her dad's side, or the number of her biological father is unknown to me. Jay was the only person I could think of to call. Nikki would call Mama, but I would call her. After I contacted Jay a few times and he did not pick up, he eventually called me back. When I told him everything, he completely lost it. He was angry; he was furious. He looked like someone I had never seen before, and he was definitely headed up there.
