“So you finna kill yo’ people too, huh?” Zero asked, stepping forward.
As if to gauge the seriousness of what Ro was saying he looked at him long and hard before he finally spoke. “Celia, Georgio’s…”
“Sister. Yo, wasn’t you fucking her bony ass at a point?” I looked to Zero.
He nodded, never taking his eyes off Chewy. “So she called you and said what? Walk me through the fucking details and tell me where the fuck my product is.”
He shook his head. “We don’t have it. As soon as we did the take, she bought it off us. Usually she just give me a location or a moving drop in exchange for a percentage of the take, but this time was different.”
I looked from my boy to Chewy, before I aimed and pulled the trigger landing a slug right between his eyes. He was no more use but would be used as a message. As if on cue Gram shot the unconscious guard on the floor by the door, and Zero shut old girl up for good.
“Torch the spot.” Zero was the first out of the shop while I followed behind him.
“This doesn’t make no sense. I ain’t seen or talked to this broad in months.”
“Makes perfect sense, we took her brother’s income. This is their way of getting it back.

Yesterday was eventful. It started out with me not knowing who took my product, then when I found out my blood was boiling, and I was seathing. Leaving Chewy’s spot to burn as a message was a good idea, because if I knew Celia like I thought I did she was panicking and bound to do some obvious stupid shit. Shorty wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Instead she was about dull as hell, but she wanted to run her family’s business. She thought she had what it took when even her brother didn’t. He still hadn’t realized that niggas weren’t waiting on them to come through, they were copping from me. Where he wasn’t making money, I was, and it could’ve stayed this way with minimal blood shed but his sister’s fake ass cleverness had just gotten him and her killed.
“You think she retained the back streets method?”
“Had to because how else would she have known? Unless it was some desperate shit, and she was watching all roads.”
“How else would she know ours, then?” Malik asked.
“Easy. Niggas have been using the icehouse trucks since we was young. We only stopped because we moved on to freight,but with everything going on, we used the backup. She knew our backup, because at a point it was theirs as well.”
Malik nodded his head as if he had come to some realization. “So what do you want to do?”
“Whatever is necessary. Either way it goes, they all have to die. I don’t have patience for the bullshit this may bring up.”
“Oh yeah, that’s a given. But how do you know she’ll hit you up?” he looked around my office before looking back at me.
“Because shorty is dumb, and she always thinks she is the smartest person in the room. She’s manipulative and acts like she’s untouchable.”
He nodded, before standing up straight to leave. He had stopped by for the numbers because I told him that he needed to be opening a spot or something.
“Em told her folks yet?” he asked.
“Nah, she said after the first appointment which is today.”
“You scared?” He leaned over the desk to gauge my response.
I laughed at his stupid ass and shook my head. “What’s to be scared of? Niggas make babies all the time.”
“You’re right. What are you gonna do about Amia? You talked to her?”
“The fuck is there to say? Shorty real live threw a fuck fest in my house. No matter how much cleaning Junior did to that couch I still wasn’t fucking comfortable with it. As a matter of fact Em wouldn’t even sit on that motherfucker.” He was still pissed about his sister’s stupidity.
“Safe to say yeen spoke to her.”
He shook his head no. “I told Asha that she was her problem. The mess she’s out here doing is detrimental and reckless. It was three niggas in my living room, and two females including Amia. Empress was in my bedroom cold to the fucking world, what if a nigga would’ve gotten up to explore the space? What if...” hissentence trailed off and I got where he was coming from. That could’ve been a potential fucked up situation.
