Detective Juleus snatched away from his partner, creating some space before he fixed his shirt. “This isn’t the last either of you will see of me.”
“I look forward to it.” I smirked.
“Don’t let his old ass get you killed, youngin.”
“That a threat?” Nathan asked, finally finding his voice.
Rem laughed. “Nah. It’s a warning.” Of course Reminisce being Reminisce had to signal a gun with his hand.
“Did you just threaten me? I’m a goddamn officer of the law!” Nathan lost his shit.
Rem shrugged. “Good luck with that, lil homie.”
I laughed, but none of this was funny. First I was dealing with who shot me, and now I had these two motherfuckers in my face. In this city things seemed like they were never fucking ending.
Before we could fully reach the back, Rem stopped in his tracks. “Yo, did you see that?”
I didn’t know what he was talking about until he started speaking again.
“Ol’ girl with the T-Rex arms was just walking bitch ass baby daddy into the VIP room.”
“Hell nah, you lying.” I was completely taken aback because that man hadn’t been at his job in weeks, but he was at the strip club. I’d definitely learned that a Chicago motherfucker could hide for forever because there was no way Juicy and whoever that nigga who shot me was were in hiding that long.Excellent hide and seek players.
“Yup.” My brother moved toward the front without another word. I followed with my hand on my gun, knowing I didn’t want to body anybody in my place of business. In Donuts there were four VIP rooms and I made sure none of the doors had locks. If a door needed to be locked, then something that shouldn’t have been going down was happening and I didn’t play that. All of the rooms were easy access and not ducked off down some hall.
Rem turned around and looked at me, before pointing to room two. Then he jiggled the knob and moved right in. When I turned the corner into the room, Cinnamon was leaning over with her mouth all over his dick and that pissed me off.
“Damn, you need a fucking staff meeting, because these hoes in here ripping you off,” my brother said, causing her to look up and horror to settle into her eyes. I wasn’t even focused on her as much as I was him. He looked like he’d seen a ghost when he saw me and I couldn’t help but laugh. This was honestly comical to me.
I spoke with my eyes still locked on him. “Yo, you fired, shorty. Pack up and don’t come back.”
She scurried out of the room, leaving just me, my brother, and bitch ass baby daddy. He looked like had his pants been up, he would have pissed himself .
“Say what you said to Caya to me,” I demanded, watching him pull his pants up.
“What did I sa—” Rennix socked him in his chest. I just knew it knocked the wind out of him because I had seen plenty of knees buckle from that exact punch.
“Tell him what you said so I can get this over with, ’cause unlike him I’ll kill your ass in here. Course he’ll be mad at me, but I promise you he’ll get over it. Your life don’t mean shit to me.”
“Aight, aight. I was just talking. I heard about the shooting and said that was good for you.”
I laughed and nodded. “Cool, how did you hear about a shooting that never went across the radio?”
Bitch ass baby daddy hesitated to respond which prompted Rem to start cracking his knuckles.
“I went to school with Josiah. The night everything happened they brought their Uncle C to my auntie’s vet. It was too late, she couldn’t save him.”
“Where the fuck is the body?” Rem’s confusion was my confusion at this point.
“At the morgue. Nobody claimed it, so he’ll probably sit for a few more weeks before they cremate him with a bunch of other bodies.”
I was completely taken aback, because how the fuck had it been that easy? This city was wild as hell because where the hell was the investigation? Then again, them dumping the body and Dimitri dismantling the gun did me a favor. Nothing tied back to me.
“You know where that nigga is right now?” Reminisce was two steps ahead of me.
“Why would I tell you?”
“Because you just told me everything else, you fucking idiot. Now why would you wanna hold that in?”
