tho come to the spot "

The two hung up and Elijah pulled off driving to the location they would meet

He arrived at a small beat up House, got out and quickly made his way to the door and Inside.

A Bulky dark skin Man with Dreads approached him in the hall way holding a gun inside a black plastic bag

"This perfect. Good looks" Elijah thanked holding The Medium size Gun in his hand after his Boy Tah gave it to him.

He had known Tah since he was slinging drugs and had his back one day when Tah got into some shit with some niggas older than him. After that He'd been doing any favors Elijah asked .

"No prob my nigga. Go handle yours. Stay good no Bullshit igh" Tah and Elijah exchanged abrotherly hug

Back in the Car, Elijah placed the Gun inside the Glove department and drove to where he knew Mikey was.. Inside The projects trying to stay low after what he did to Laila, High and paranoid with some Junkie friends. Elijah had asked a couple niggas around if they knew him earlier that week after What happened to Laila shit he even beat a nigga ass for information on Mikey

The black hooptie turned into Brooklyn projects. Elijah was dressed in all black, black Pullover sweater, Black Baggy Sweat pants Black Tim's , Black gloves and Black skully . He retrieved the gun from the glove department and the bag of coke he got from some lil niggas and hopped out the car.

Elijah walked with Structure Keeping his eyes out for any cops and Mikey.

He walked through the project complex hallways making sure to cover each peephole as he walked pass each apartment and finally reached Apartment 340 the last apartment in that dirty ass building

He knocked twice .

"YO somebody at the door" a Male voice screamed from inside

"Fuck you telling me for, go open it!" Another voice screamed

The chain on the door came off and the door slid open

"WHO YOU" a large Man with a beard asked eye'ing Elijah up and down.

Playing it cool Elijah responded

"I got Some Work for Mikey, from DJ" Elijah lied using a nigga from the hood's name.

"Yo Mikey, This nigga Said He got some Work for You" the Man turned over his shoulder to say

" Let his Ass in then! Shit right on time ! " Mikey Dry Coughed

“This nigga really on the shits bad” Elijah thought to himself

The Large man moved aside and him stepped in.

The little apartment was filthy, and smelled of Sweat , Ass and Smoke. It was cigarette Buds everywhere and nothing but a Couch in living room . A real hole in the wall

" Sit Youngin, Mi Casa es Tu Casa" Mikey declared pointing to couch lighting a cigarette

Elijah sat eyeing him. He was Thin with deflated muscles , ashy skin and a face full of bones. A Real live crackhead just like the Nigga described . Instantly Elijah's anger grew

" So Let me see what you Workin with " Mike pressured

" Dang nigga no conversation first. Lets Kick it. We might be doing more business soon anyways lets get Acquainted" Elijah reassured smirking . He had no plan

Mikey Laughed and nodded

The three talked for a while before Mikey set out lines for himself to hit.

He snorted Hard inhaling all the white candy and sat back while it kicked in. Elijah knew it was his chance

"Yo, y'all heard about that Bitch Laila. Some Nigga Blew her shit off" Elijah spoke cluelessly as if he didn't know her .

"Mikey Know Her very Well ain't that right Mike" The fat one Finally said chuckling at the end

Mikey lifted up a little in seat.

" Thats right! Stupid Bitch got what was coming for Her"

" Word! You know who did it?" Elijah nervously let out

"Know? Youngin I am who did it" Mikey's tone sounded to confident

Elijah wanted to peel his cap right there but needed to hear more

"Nahhhh nigga you lying! They got a suspect I heard" He lied some more . He knew as high as Mikey just got he would say anything

" I did that Shit! And I'd do it Again.. That Bitch was my Step Sister, Ha I fell for that bitch & I Hit that a few times thanks to her Fucked up ass Mama. I payed that bitch 20 grand to stay with my ass sick I know mannnn that was some good pussy…. I even shared My drugs with Ha moms! But Laila , that bitch Fucked up rotation ya feel me started not fuckin wit me! Found a new Man and wasn't giving me None! Don't that bitch know She was Mine!" Mikey slurred

Hearing that sent Elijah to his Breaking Point . He couldn't take it anymore

"Elijah" He called his own name

"Yeah That's It" Mikey Confirmed "How you know Youngin"

"BECAUSE I AM ELIJAH MothaFucca

Elijah began Swinging his arms to the side snatching the Gun from his Pocket and Letting off 4 in The Fat nigga that answered the Door who was sitting in the corner causing him to Die Instantly

Mikey's eyes flew open and he jumped up reaching for his Gun

" You Move & I'll Blow your Fucking Head straight off" Elijah barked

Mikey didn't move a muscle

" You Fucking Dumb! You ain't getting Away with this shit ! Watch Ima Kill you Like I Killed that bitch" Mikey yelled back frozen in action

Elijah laughed

" You on Too much Crack . You ain't getting out of hear Alive to tell any fucking body! My bitch ain't Dead you Fien MothaFucca!Obviously your broke ass doesn’t own a Tv to know that But SURPRISE You Tried to Kill her and my Child! Now its your chance to Go" Elijah's spit flew from his mouth

Mikey looked like he was Gona shit his pants

" SEEE! You ain't built For this life you goofy Ass nigga! You left your gun at the scene , They gon know it was you when she tell em exactly How she told me. You really Think you was Gona Walk free? AI got news for you!" Elijah inched closer with every word and he aimed the Gun right in his face

Mikey began to shake. The drugs had full effect now. He started pleading for forgiveness but that didn't mean a damn thing to Elijah

He Cocked the Gun back and suddenly stopped in his tracks when the vision of Laila appeared in his mind.

She was pregnant She needed him and so did his baby, If he killed both men he was sure to go away for life and he couldn't do that to Laila After all he was in Love with what they had become. What example ass he setting for his unborn? Elijah Lowered the gun.. He couldn't do it

" FUCK!" He shouted knocking the gun against his forehead

" Oh! You can't do it huh Young Blood? You Soft I knew it! You going down for my home boy ricky here" Mikey announced laughing it off

" I Could Kill you y'know but I got Laila and now a baby I have to think about. I already won, Killing you won't do me any good . "

“FUCK THAT BABY, AND FUCK YOUR BITCH” Mikey spat sending spit flying out his mouth

Elijah was In rage, No this nigga didn’t speak so ill towards his new family, He through the gun into Mikey’s hand before attacking

As Mikey fumbled to catch it , Elijah Threw a Hard left hook sending Mikey down . Elijah began to Beat His Ass like he's never beaten anyone in his life. Blood from Mikey's mouth , nose , and everywhere else went flying. Elijah beat him until his Knuckles were bloody inside his gloves , he was so angry

Mikey's body layed limp although Elijah knew he wasn't dead

"You ain't bragging now nigga!" Elijah kicked the final blow into Mikey's stomach and he coughed up blood.

Back in the car Elijah thought about what he had done and felt disgusted with himself. He never wanted to go back to his old Hoodish ways but Laila meant everything to her, he couldn't let Mikey get away with anything. He made a vow to himself never to Act in that manner again before flipping his phone and making a call

"911 emergency” the operator answered

LAILA

 

Weeks went by as Laila’s body recovered and November just arrived and the Doctors let her know She was going home today. Laila was blessed and so happy to be alive but she no longer had a home and that was no way to raise a child. She wanted to stay safe in that Hospital room with her Pregnant belly away from the media, her Job, and Most importantly Mikey.

"I see your doing better"

Ebony clapped stepping into Laila’s room wearing Wide Legged Pants and a pea coat. She was procrastinating coming to see Laila for quite some time after Laila’s incident but this Tuesday Afternoon she got off of work ,dropped Yasin to Charles and made her to her sister anyways

She could tell Laila was surprised to see her

"Girl get that look off your face. I ain't a Ghost , it's the real Ebony Smith boo" Ebony joked

"You so crazy. I'm just surprised to see you but I'm more than thankful you did I was meaning to talk to you"

Laila sat up in bed and fluffed her pillows making sure to keep her stomach covered. After finding out she was pregnant her belly had grown more.

"Yeah well let me go first okay I need to say something" Ebony let her know pulling a hospital chair closer to her bed

"Laila, I'm so sorry. Don't get me wrong I tried to hate yo ass after you dropped that bomb on me but when this happened I couldn't do it anymore. You hurt me so much I resented you but after they arrest my Brother and the truth came out on the news, and TV I realized my Brother had hurt you so I could no longer be upset. I'm so sorry all this time I had no idea what he was capable of, your my Sister regardless marriage or not we made a Bond bitch" Ebony went on

"I understand , I just couldn't figure out when was the right time to tell you I guess there wasn't a right time. I really wish I could have told you earlier and maybe this would have never happened.. But God knows better. I'm just Happy to be here to do better this time around, for me and my Baby. But wait.. Did you say they caught your Brother?!" Laila instantly thrilled

"Girl Yeah, that Bastard was found beaten the fuck up in Brooklyn Heights projects He shot some nigga up and the news say when he was arrested they found the gun he killed the nigga with so y'know he couldn't deny it his finger prints was all on it and he Confessed to everything he did to you, why and all that . He got sentenced to life , and I don't feel bad he did so much to us all it's only right! And I
