“True shit,” he agreed.
“I can’t turn my back on them though, they raised me. So when Keem told me you ran up in an abandoned crack house on one of the blocks, not gonna lie, I laughed. But I understand, for my brothers I’m willing to flatten the fucking city. Anyway, I couldn’t get a real address on those motherfuckers, but for the body you dropped there’s a shrine. It’s on the corner of one of my blocks. Their uncle C. He was in on that shit with them, that’s something I didn’t know.”
“They got people over there or something?”
Kinga shrugged. “I’m waiting on Keem to gimme that information now. If I get it, you got it.”
A little more talking happened, but I was lowkey in a rush to get back to my computer. Him providing me names gave me more than I had to start.
“So the dino shaped broad you had sucking your dick was a part of the setup crew.” Rem nodded as we got back into the car.
“Now that’s fucked up.” Dimitri’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.
“It is, but it’s cool.” I closed my eyes and rested back in the seat. More and more I just wanted to go lay up under Cay. The nature of niggas and this crabs in the barrel ass mentality had drained me for the day. This was why I left all that shit behind me, but it seemed like no matter what I always found myself dealing with the ill intentions of another.
“Bitch ass baby daddy or the club, Renny?” Rem’s voice broke my thoughts.
“Bitch ass baby daddy. Boe will call if she needs me and I beefed up security. I’m going tonight so I’ll have my computer. I’ll send that shit to you.” He knew what I meant. By the time I walked in the door I’d be running the names Kinga gave us through my own system and finding not only a paper trail, but also enough information for him to go see them.
He rubbed his hands together and clapped. “Yeah.” About a second later he was recklessly pulling out of the garage into traffic.
“See, this is that shit. I knew I should have gotten in the back,” G mumbled just before Rem cut the music all the way up.Reckless deaf ass.
Chapter 10
Caya
The moment I laid eyes on him I could tell something wasn’t right. Mentally he wasn’t in the best space. He wasn’t angry, but he was irritated. I knew he had gone out with his brothers earlier and found out something about his shooting. I was trying to pry, but I wanted to know though. I was tempted to find Juicy and smack down on her myself because I didn’t like seeing him unhappy. Rennix was a smiler, like literally the type of nigga who was always smiling, so the fact that he wasn’t had me ready to put in my own type of work. At my request we were spending the weekend at his home. I figured we could do something, but when he called and I heard his voice, then I laid eyes on him, I told him we didn’t have to go anywhere but could instead get a pizza delivered and lay up. He needed it; I could tell.
We lay on the sofa, his face in my neck while we were supposed to be watching a movie. Safe to say the movie watched us.
“You wanna talk about it?” My hand caressed his neck as I stared into space, loving the feel of his warm body wrapped around mine. I just didn’t like his state of mind right now.Rennix wasn’t the type to get mad and break things. He internalized the things he couldn’t change and made moves to change them. The problem right now was that he had been shot, obviously injured, and was unable to handle things the way he wanted. I knew that much because when I got here he was on the phone with Reminisce. From what I gathered, Reminisce wanted to go handle the situation and Rennix wanted to do it himself.
“I just can’t understand why people are so fucked up. Like I ain’t saying I’m some saint, but I don’t go out of my way to fuck with people like that. I be in my space, stacking my funds and moving at my own pace.”
“You’re right but people exist to mess with that because they have no motion of their own. The sad thing is these people aren’t for you to understand. Handle them accordingly and keep it moving. I hate it, but that’s all you can do, my heart.”
“Your heart?” he asked, lifting his head and looking down into my eyes.
“Yeah, my heart. I’m so in tune with you that I feel you when you’re not near. Got me calling and texting you when you’re out with your brothers. I probably look crazy as hell. The thing is I felt you, then the sound of your voice let me know in the door.”
He laughed. “Nah, yeen look crazy at all, my baby. As a matter of fact, they weren’t paying attention. We were looking for bitch ass baby daddy.”
“Whose bitch ass baby daddy?” I was momentarily confused.
“Somebody’s, ’cause he damn sure ain’t yours. You and Adonis got me. So fuck that nigga. Even though I’m still gonna beat his ass myself or let Rem break his fucking jaw.”
“Why?”
“Because he came out of his mouth with you and I could’ve sworn I told his ass not to say anything else to you. I’on remember exactly what I said, but I believe I warned him whatwould happen. Even if I didn’t, it should have been fucking implied.”
“Here you go fighting for my honor. Damn, you want some head or something, baby?”
He chortled. “As a matter of fact, yeah, but I’m comfortable right now. Soon as we get up I’ma take you up on that shit. I want it sloppy as fuck too.”
“You are a fucking mess. You know that right?”
He nodded. “You said you in tune with me; I am with you too. And if I ain’t, then I don’t know what to call this. Lowkey feeling like I’on like being too far from you too soon. It bothers me and I know you be doing hair but something in me don’t give a fuck.”
