lot. I pulled into my usual parking spot and was greeted by Reesey in the courtyard. “Oh how nice of you to bring me dinner…im just playing girl wassup?” she said in a jokingly way “Not much just tired..you see Rah? I asked. “Nah I just came outside to get some fresh air, trying to enjoy my day since my kids wit they daddy” she replied back. “Well since he ain’t here I guess you can have his food cause once those fries get cold it’s over” I said to her “you ain’t gotta tell me twice” she said taking one of the burger king bags. The two headed up to Shonda’s apartment to do some catching up. Shonda came in and went to the living room to turn the tv on as Reesey sat at the table and started eating. “Ain’t this ya earring in here on the floor” Shonda asked Reesey who got bug eyed thinking Shonda had figured everything out.”Lemme see” she said playing it off knowing damn well it was hers “Oh… yea it must have fallen out somehow when I dropped the kids off that day I asked you to babysit” Reesey said nervously. “But how you been girl we barley get to talk since you became general manager and all” she said trying to change the subject “I’m hanging in there girl I can’t wait until we save enough money to leave the projects, I just don’t want to raise any kids here I don’t see how you do it” Shonda replied back while taking a bite of her burger. “Girl my family been here for years it don’t bother me none but I see what you mean” Reesey said. “Hand me that little pill bottle over there on that counter” Shonda said pointing to her pain pills. “Wassup wit you what you need to take these for?.. you good?” Reesey asked trying to read the pill bottle before handing it over “Not really when you seen me the other day I had just came from getting an abortion, even though I wanted the baby Rah said no until he made enough for us to get out of here, I still don’t know how to feel though” Shonda said sadly with tears in her eyes.“Awww, it’s ok Shonda you made the best decision for the both of you, things will get better Rah is a good man” Reesey said hugging Shonda trying to comfort her. “Im about to go back home to get dinner ready for these kids but you call me if anything ok? Hold ya head” Reesey added as she slammed the heavy metal door of Shonda’s apartment. Talking about that situation made Shonda miss Rasheem and wonder where he was she reached for her phone to send him a text “ where you at??”

“ I’ll be home soon babe” was the only reply she received back Shonda rolled her eyes and began cleaning up the house waiting on Rasheem.

***Rasheem***

I know Shonda probably mad at me but I gotta do what I gotta do this little nigga got me fucked up. If she knew what was really going on she would want me to handle it especially anything that could be standing in the way of our future together so that’s what I’m bout to do. I hope that bitch ass nigga Greg ain’t dead in my trunk I haven’t heard a peep out of his scary ass since we left the warehouse if Johnny knew he was in there he’d probably shit on himself. I’m glad Tone thought to take the camera’s down so I know Johnny ain’t see anything otherwise he wouldn’t have even been home. As we got to the car dealership I was very surprised at how the business was being run. They had legit Italian salesman ready to do business and even a nice showroom with luxury cars so I knew the owner had money. “ Call him back and tell him you outside but you in a rush so all he gotta do is bring the money to the window.. and you better not try no slick shit” I said to Johnny as I through his phone at him. “Tone take that shit when he done too” I added once he made the call we sat out there for about 3 minutes then out comes this fat greasy looking Italian dress in a gray suit with his hair slicked back he signaled for us to pull up closer but he definitely ain’t know who he was fuckin with cause I wasn’t moving this damn truck no closer. “I ain’t moving, and you ain’t getting out either” I said to Johnny. Johnny then rolled the window down half way so the dealer could see his face and signaled him to come to the car. Once he saw Johnny’s face he immediately began walking to the car he handed Johnny a thick white envelope, Johnny took the envelope and nodded his head and the dealer walked away. I pulled off and headed back to the warehouse this time I took the long way just to make sure nobody from the dealership was following us. “Tone take his ass to the back while I handle his little girlfriend Greg” I said to Tone pointing to the back of my warehouse when I popped the trunk Greg was laying sleep in a fetal position. I shook him awake before snatching him by the collar as I dragged Greg in to where Johnny and Tone was Johnny looked like a deer caught in headlights probably surprised his ass was still alive. “Look Rah I’ll tell you where I stashed it Greg ain’t have much to do with it but please don’t kill me I just wanted to be big time like you, I wanted my own crew to follow me, I wanna be a business man just like you” Johnny was beginning to ramble in an attempt to plead for his life. Rasheem put his hand up to silence him “ I don’t wanna hear none of that shit you talking” he spat back in anger “just show me where the fuck my money at and both of you niggas better take this as a lesson learned not to fuck wit me” Rasheem added. “iight bet you got it ” Johnny said Greg however didn’t say a word. Once they got in the truck Rasheem let him sit in the front seat this time while Tone and Greg sat in the back. “Since ya’ll already got what ya’ll wanted out of me yall can drop me off I don’t know shit about the money” Greg said Tone started laughing “Nice try” Tone said Greg sat back in his seat and any hope he had of them letting him go was now gone no matter what Rah said. They ended up pulling up to Queens Bridge park Johnny had a safe buried out there that no one knew about Johnny dug into his pocket and pulled out a small key and handed it to Rasheem. “The safe is buried behind those benches down there” he pointed to some raggedy wood benches sitting further down by the water. “Tone watch them I’m bout to see if this little nigga telling the truth” Rasheem said snatching the key from Johnny’s hand. Rasheem made his way down the little hill and into the dark park over to the benches he began kicking the dirt and gravel until he felt a hard metal object wedged in the ground it was the safe. Rasheem bent down a little so noone from the car could actually see what he was doing and stuck the key in the safe it opened and sure enough it was full of money. Rasheem didn’t have time to count it of course but he had a feeling the money was all there he shut the safe and placed it behind the tree out of site and made his way back to his car. “I can’t find it ya’ll lil niggas get out and help me look Tone stay here and be on the lookout” said Rasheem. Johnny and Greg got out the car and proceeded down the little hill into the park with Rasheem following behind. Once they got to the benches both boys bent down and began digging through the dirt with their hands, just then Rasheem pulled out a glock nine from his waist equipped with a silencer and fired at both boys heads 3 times he hit Johnny twice one in the head and another in his back, Greg was also hit in the head he was slumped over and the blood was starting to pour from the head he grabbed the small safe from behind the tree and ran back to the car. Tone already knew what time it was and was in the driver seat when Rasheem came back he didn’t say a word an neither did Tone as they sped off headed back to the warehouse.

Chapter 6

Tone pulled to the back of the warehouse where his car was parked before he stepped out he looked at Rasheem “look man… I know taking them young cats out is fucking wit you but you had to do what was best, who knows we could have been the ones dead if you ain’t do what you did hold ya head G” Tone said as he got out of the driver seat and headed towards his own car. Before Rasheem pulled off he rolled the window down half way “Good looks my nigga once I get all this shit counted up you know I gotchu” he said Tone nodded his head and Rasheem pulled off. Rasheem got in the house at about 10 that night Shonda still cooked dinner for him even though he wasn’t there when she got off. “Hey babe ya food in the microwave whenever you get ready” she said but Rasheem didn’t say anything just went straight to the bedroom and hid the safe under the bed after that he got in the shower without saying a word to Shonda. Once out of the shower Shonda was standing in the bathroom doorway “did I do something to you?” she asked with an attitude “Nah babe” Rasheem replied back trying to ease past Shonda who still blocking the bathroom doorway “then what’s the problem?” she asked “I just got a lot on my mind. Excuse me” he said this time brushing past Shonda pushing her out the way a little bit. Rasheem headed back to the bedroom to put on his night clothes Shonda came in right behind him and sat on the bed “if you so-called got a lot on ya mind I should be the one you discuss that with” she said waiting for Rasheem to speak up and tell her what the deal was. “ iight look we gotta get outta here soon so tomorrow I need you to call out of work and start packing the important shit” Rasheem said as he reached under the bed and opened the safe for Shonda to see the money. “How much is it? Where we going so fast? Why you rushing? What happened?” Shonda was spitting out questions so fast Rasheem barely had time to think. “That little nigga Johnny set me up, I got my shit back but him and his homie had to be dealt with” Rasheem said counting the money. “So where did you do it? I hope not at the warehouse” Shonda said “Fuck no! It was at the park in queens it won’t be long before they find the bodies so im planning on going to find us a little spot in Jersey tomorrow I want you to pack while I look” Rasheem said. Shonda nodded her head in agreement and didn’t speak another word about it for the rest of the night. Of course she was happy about leaving the projects
