“I could have told her that myself! On my own fucking time!” I yelled.

“Where the fuck is she then, Casper?”

He chuckled without humor.

“Oh, you asking me? Like I’d keep her hidden without me knowing where the fuck she is? You think I’d send niggas out to send a message to get your attention, nigga?” He gritted out.

“You hear how stupid that shit sounds.” He shook his head.

“You ask Benita? I guarantee she knows where the fuck she is. There’s no way Yeremy would just disappear without taking money off her cards if?—”

“Bingo.” Casper snapped his rough fingers.

“That bitch Benita knows where my baby is.” He scoffed, visibly pissed that he hadn’t thought of that before he went through the troubles of getting me here.

“Stay the fuck away from Yeremy. I mean that shit,” he spat and waved me off like the conversation was over.

“Sooner or later, you got to get with the program, old man. I got nothing but love and respect for you. If I didn’t have that…I wouldn’t mind going to war behind her with you. If I find her before you…” I took steps backward.

“She’s mine and I ain’t letting up off her.” I smirked.

We stared each other down for what felt like an eternity before I turned on the balls of my feet and stomped out with Fatz behind me.

“Damn, this shit crazy, nigga,” Fatz said from behind me.

I could hear his heavy ass breathing which told me he was struggling to keep up with my fast footsteps.

“What’s crazy?” I pulled my gun from the small of my back just as I reached the last step.

I didn’t have to look back at Fatz to know that he had pulled his gun as well. The way I saw it, this was an eye for an eye situation. We was outnumbered; Casper didn’t want no smoke with me. Since he capped two of my men, two of his would go before I drove off the premises. I aimed my gun and shot the first two guards that stood at the steel double doors. Their bodies dropped like a bad habit as I kept the same pace to my car.

“Bitch ass niggas.” I chuckled, watching all the guards rush in after me and Fatz to see what had taken place.

“Yeah, you in love. If it ain’t love, it’s something. You willing to go to war behind some pussy. Take me to get a steak plate off a hundred and third, nigga.” Fatz laughed as I made my way to the driver’s side of my car with Yeremy heavy on my mind.

I had to find her but didn’t know where to start looking. Casper would be able to find her now with no problem. Benitawas going to fold and give up her daughter’s whereabouts just to get him off her back. Casper was Benita’s lifeline and source to a hefty income. I had to figure out a way to chop it up with Yeremy. I wasn’t going to force her to fuck with me…but there was something inside of me that told me that I couldn’t just leave her alone.

She felt the pull just like I felt that shit. I killed her bitch ass nigga Ramsey, and I didn’t see nothing wrong with that shit. She should have been thanking me, since I did her a favor. If the nigga was still alive, she would have been stuck on stupid with that nigga.

Benita

“You been applying for jobs out in Vegas or partying?” I asked Yeremy.

“I don’t know if this is somewhere I want to stay permanently at, Ma.” She sighed into the phone.

“Plus, it’s hot as fish grease out here, I haven’t been outside like that. I think I have a stomach virus,” she continued, sounding like the spoiled princess Casper raised her to be.

“You got to do something…I can’t keep you concealed for too long, Yeremy. Casper is going insane?—”

“He will be just fine, I needed this time away. To think and feel free with my thoughts on what’s my next steps. It’s not like he haven’t went this long without talking to me before,” she stated.

“Don’t compare this to that, little girl. Casper might have not talked to you for a while when you was with Ramsey’s bitch ass but he knew where the hell you was! He made sure you was taken care of, and you didn’t have no problem spending that allowance that he deposited into your account like clockwork.” I reminded her.

I wanted to support Yeremy’s decision in leaving to find her way but she had no damn plan. Her logic was starting not to make any type of sense to me either.

“Money getting tight, I gave you all of my savings just so you wouldn’t have to use your limitless black card that Casper gave you. If I start asking him for money, he’s going to start pressing me and?—”
