I did it to see if she would respond. The light turned green as her silhouette appeared in her window. A smile spread across my face.
Baby:Come up.
Me:Nah got baby girl with me. We need to talk before we chill like that.
She started responded but stopped. I got my baby home and got her ready for bed while I took a quick shower to get all the hair off me. I don’t know why’ I went on Merci’s page. She had so much shit on there about her pregnancy. She had a 3d picture of the baby with a caption, ‘I’ll make it happen for you’.I looked at my daughter and then at the picture. They favored like a muthafucka but how could you tell from some computer shit. I hated when people did that. I logged out and took my ass to sleep.
“Make sure y’all don’t get in no cars that I haven’t ordered.”
“Okay Lucky. Can we go?” Blessyn begged.
“I’m just making sure y’all don’t go and do anything stupid in a foreign country.”
“It ain’t like we can drink. I mean we are pregnant.”
“That’s right. And no clubs. Go to the spa, the beach and do some shopping.”
“Bye baby,” she kissed me passionately.
“Can y’all just please,” Merci said.
I helped her in the car and closed the door. I sent them away for four days. That was enough time to handle my job and be back to my normal self before my wife made it back home to me. There was a secret in place in my house that no one knew aboutbut me and Perc. I had over two million dollars inside of the wall along with kilos of drugs that hadn’t been touched. I left the drug game a long time ago but as long as my brother was in the streets I had my hand in there silently.
We got word that we had a new crew taking over a few of our corners. Not only was they taking over, but they were also selling their shit for cheaper which was putting us out of business. This is when I got involved. Perc needed me to be the brains because he would just start dropping bodies. I didn’t need that type of attention and neither did Perc. I used the key around my neck to unlock the door. Sliding it to the side, I walked in and opened the closet to change into my clothes.
Blessyn would’ve asked question as soon as she saw a bulletproof vest and a closet full of black clothes along with mask. I didn’t want her to really see this side of me. It was also the safest place in my house. I had it built just in case someone ran up in my shit. No one could get in without the key and I had a backup system if the key didn’t work. I hadn’t had to use it, and I hoped I never would. This room held all my drug money over the years.
Perc sent me a text that he was pulling up. So, I locked up my house and hopped in with him. All I wanted to do tonight was pull up on the block and watch their activity. It was Wednesday night at the end of the month. Shit was dry but their product was still moving. A junkie will find a muthafucka to steal from just to get high. They looked young which didn’t surprise me. Selling they shit so cheap was a broke nigga’s way of coming up.
“I can take one of these niggas out right now,” Perc adjusted in his seat.
“No guns.”
“Nigga what?”
“You know how I feel ‘bout that shit. We can take these niggas out one by one without one fucking gun. Look at theseniggas man. They weak as fuck. The leader ain’t even carrying no heat. They lil’ niggas.”
“We need to move on at least one of them tonight.”
“Nigga, calm your ass down. Tomorrow night, we’ll grab one of them. I’m sitting here trying to figure out who’s the leader and who’s the weakest link. If you would shut the fuck up.”
I watched the three niggas smoke a blunt together and one served which let me know he was the leader. No one else did shit. He handled the money and the drugs. The rest of them hung around trying to learn but they knew something and that’s all I needed.
“See the two not doing shit. Those the two we gon’ get tomorrow night. We’ll wait until they start heading home because don’t none of these niggas drive from the looks of it.”
“Aight, bet.”
“I sent the girls off today. Have you spoke to Merci at all?” I looked over at him.
“I tried but I couldn’t. She invited me up to her spot and everything but I had my daughter with me. I ain’t ready to get back involved with that girl. Have you seen her sonograms and shit?”
“Nigga, I don’t do that social media shit.”
“I think the baby look like me, but I may be bugging. You know how I get when I be high.”
“It’s either you bugging or it may be your baby.”
“Let me drop your ass off before we get into it. You need to holla at mama too,” Perc told me.
